Trouble in India-kitchener
May Be on Way to Far East

Washington. Nov, s.-Reports de-
scribed as "conf1dentiar' were current
here today that the ultimate destina-
ton Of Lord Kitchener on his present
mission to the East Is India, and not
the Balkans. According to these re-
ports, the unrest in India has taken
on most serious aspect.
These reports were not confirmed in
any official quarter. In. diplomatic
circles. particularly In those vitality
interested in the fate OF India and
said that nothing was known of
Kitcheners alleged mission to take
charge OF the situation in India
The trouble in India in It's present
form Is said to have resulted from the
deposition OF the Nizamo OF Hydera-
bad by his people. This head OF the
most important native state OF India
distinguished himself at the outset Of
the war by pledging all his treasure
to the support OF the British govern
ment and declaring II to be the duty
Of all Mohammedans to aid the Brit
ish Empire.
Incidentally, however, It was noted
In an authoritative quarter that the
reports regarding the deposition of
the Kixamo by his people. presumably
because Of his support OF the British
mentioned \ name quite different
the Nizam is H. II. Sir Usman All
Kahn Bahadur Fatich G.. c. S. L..
while the reports current hero
ascr!bed to one Nawab Sultan Ulb
Molk, the title Of the Nizam OF HIdera-
bad.
German Influences Responsible
German influences are credited with
being responsible for the increased
tension in India The Germans pre-
tdicted an immediate uprising in India
at the outset Of the war. and the
british have had reason to believe
that German agents were engaged in
trying to foment unrest against
British rule in India and also in
Egypt In the last few weeks the
German press has repeatedly declared
that British rule in Egypt and also In
India Is seriously menaced by the ad-
vance Of the Germans and their allies
In the Balkans. 1t has been assumed
in the German press that Lord Kitch-
ener was going to the Balkans be-
cause of the realization In England
that there Is some truth in the Ger
man view OF the near-Eastern situa
ton.
1t is represented that Lord Kitchen

and also TO Egypt Military men were
OF the opinion that If Kitchener and

vice in the Balkans.

in India-none of which are permit

German government TO state definitely
the object OF the war, saying:
I'VE are told It is the others who
must beg for peace. for we are victori-
Gus. But unfortunately, the others
do not feel vanquished. No result Is
possible this way. The war goes on
unendingly because both parties are
not anxious to tell or even utter de-

generalization and seek a positive
program.
Neither England nor France shows
desire OF yielding. All talk OF
peace. as far at least as France and
England are concerned, Is absolutely
without foundation. The leading
statesmen of France ana England are
as firmly determined as is the I'M
perial chancellor of Germany to con-
tinre the war until victory has crown
