 "'Kil or die. The government of
 these tyrants will not last any longer.
 The time of thy departure has come.
 Let us kill the white. Take the coun-
 try even at the cost of your lives. Be
 ready for a rebellion. Kill the wicked
 and tyrannic European. It is very
 easy to kill him. Do not leave any
 trace of him. Do not leave him until
 you have taken his life. Extirpate the
 whole nation. Set fire to all the
 churches. Kill all Europeans, men
 and women, show them no mercy. Kill
 them to a finish. Sacrifice them on the altar of the sword. Spare neither
 parents nor offspring. You should ] fay Europeans alive, so that they may remember it for ages to come. With
 out rebellion our lives will always be
 unhappy. Make a rebellion hastily,
 you have not more than a year at your
 disposal. Kill the whites and fill the
 rivers with their corpses. We will go
 up to England shouting kill, kill
 "The revolutionists gradually fore
 gathered in some gangs and laid plans
 for the commission of robberies and
 other outrages, partly to terrorize the
 loyal population, partly for the pur- pose of securing funds to finance the
 revolt. In November and December,
 1914, various murders were committed and attempts were made to loot treas uries and arsenals, but through the watchfulness of the police and the CO., operation of the people these revolu- tionary plans were frustrated, and late in December a large number of the gang leaders were rounded up and im- prisoned.
 However, at the end of December matters once more began to assume a serious aspect. Certain revolutionists from Bengal came north and assumed direction of affairs with the result that some sort of organization was established out of the chaos. Ennis saries were set to work collecting ma terials for bombs, bomb factory was established at Jhabewal, and other steps were taken to further an out break.
 Howard the end of January dacoi- ties were committed at various places. By the combined efforts of the people and the police numbers of the leaders were arrested from time to time, but the outrages continued. Headquarters for the rebels were established at Am ritsar and Lahore and it was decided that on February q, 1915, a general rising should be attempted. Accord ingly messengers were sent out to sev- eral cantonments to announce to the Indian troops the coming revolt. From the very beginning, of course, at tempts had been made to seduce troops by the distribution of itera- ture and by personal contact, but in all but few cases these attempts met with complete failure and the army, like the civil population, remained steadfastly loyal.
 "In pursuance of their plans the revolutiOnists prepared bombs, collect i ed arms, provided instruments for de- stroying railways and telegraphs, and drew up declaration of war. One important thing they had overlooked, however, and that was the vigilance of the police and the hostility of the people toward the revolutionary move 1. ment. The rebels became suspicious finally and antedated the time of the rising to February 19, but this, too, became known to the authorities, and when the leaders assembled in Lahore to start the confagration they were in a bomb factory and ar rested by the government forces.
 "Thus the outbreak in Lahore never took place and as the signal was not given in that city the other proposed risings collapsed. This really was the end of the main revolutionary enter prise, although for many months mur- 1ers were done and isolated outrages were committed by small bands of the emigrants who had not been In this connection it is significant to note that the people of Punjab, having, as has been pointed ,ut, no sympathy with the revolution lry plans and growing tired of the awless acts, in many cases gave in against the rebels and as- sisted the authorities in their arrest. As a result, while there undoubtedly ire numbers of the original conspira- ors living in the Punjab, the lawless- j less has been suppressed and this ex- tic movement, foreign to the ideas { md traditions of a people who pride t
