More than one nation was deeply
shocked by India's answer to ''prac-

But there were men In India who
learned to love India long ago with
that love that casts out fear, who knew
exactly what was going to happen and
could therefore afford to wait for or

LONDON, Aug 7.--Officisl an

The changes in the British admiralty
are attracting much attention and are
interpreted as the first step in q reor
ganination which 1t is supposed Sir Eric
Campbell Geddes, first lord OF the Ad
miralty, was appointed TO carry out. IL
some quarters the present step is de
nounced - . "procrastinatory hal

be taken OF the appointment Of Wee
Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss TO re
arrange the duties OF the second sea

Another change is the removal OF Sir
William Graham Green from the per
manent secretaryship At the adm'ralt,
