fortunate Indian army officers pay"

Indian officers are married, and have

England at great expense. When the
war broke out. the principle laid down

soldier ought to be in a worse posi-
ton during the war than he was be-
fore 1t, but the government Of India
has ignored this principle, and treated
its officers in a way which any civil
employer Of labor in England would
be ashamed Of"
