INDIA TO PROTEST
TURKISH PROGRAM
Gigantic Boycott Reported As
Resentment for British Dis
memberment Policy.

PARIS, Aug. 3.-India Is mobilized
in protest against the British dis
memberment OF the Ottoman empire,
according to Mohammed Ali. chief Of
the Indian delegation to Geneva. in
this message received here today:
"a gigantic protest from 100000, ,0c0
subject people of India commenced
August I. II is a patriotic boycott
protesting against the dismember-
ment of the Ottoman empire and at
the same time will demonstrate the
solidarity and strength of the various
crecds and castes in India before the
might OF whom England will find her
helf powerless to enforce single
law.
"The boycott has taken three
forms: First, all Hindu judges and
dignitaries have renounced the
honors conferred by England they
have resigned their offices. Second,
the native army police have thrown
down their arms and have re-
fused to obey orders received from
the whites, and third, the natives will
refuse to pay taxes until their end is
gained.
Faced by silent boycott of this
kind. England will soon find that
her boasted hold on India is merely
a myth. We are prepared to keep
the boycott up for six months, and II
is certain that England will capitu-
late rather than lose forever her hold
on India"
