WOUNDED MOPLAHS
THROW SELVES ON
BRITISH BAYONETS
Warriors Complain Be-
cause Allah Failed to
Turn Bullets to Mud.

CALICUTA, Nov. 1S.-Six COM
panies Of Gurkhas and a battalion
of Dahrwarhlis are progressing into
the jungles southeast of the Bey-
pore River, while the Dorsets and
Suffolks are waiting to the east
ward to intercept the retreating
Moplahs. For q century this region
has been called the fantic zone, ii
being the scene of. countless disor-
ders and strifss. The Inhabitants
of the district have often felt the
pinch of hunger, for the Moplahs IN
their raids have destroyed the rice
in the fields and other crops.
Every day comes tales of fifty or
more Moplahs killed in skirmishes.
or of Hindus. including old women.
butchered and their bodies mutt
lated. A number of the Moplahs
who are not taking part in the war
but who ARE living in the ebel ter
ritory have petitioned the govern
ment to give them a safe conduct
to Calicut.
American Volunteer Wounded.
An American living in Calicut re-
ceived three wounds when he accom-
panaied a volunteer patrol which
took part in a campaign against the
Moplahs. The partol was apart o
a column sent to relieve Malappu
ram last September. While advan'
ing through the jungle the British
were ambushed by a strong body OF
rebels. Rifle fre had no effect on
the Moplahs. who continued to ac-
vance until their charge was
checked by machine-Gun fire. The
British force fought for Ave hours,
much of the time it being the bayo-
net against the knife, During the
battle 400 Moplahs were killed.
The wounded never ask for mercy
and throw themselves against the
British bayonets. Many of the war
riors are still complaining that AL
lah I failing to change the Gritish
bullets into mud.
Fear Attack from Jungle.
The Europeans here are afraid
that the Moplahs may make a raid
from the jungle on Calicut and stir
up the local Moplahs to murder the
European. There are sixty soldiers
IN the garrison here, forty European
civilians and three women. while
there are 10000 Moplahs of night
Ing age in the district. There Is no
adequate barrier between the town
and the jungle. and the various
forces of troops are operating from
scattered posts. so tnat IT is pos
sible for the Moplahs to make their
way past the government forces into
the city. The authorities are not
willing to bring troops from else
where in India to the scene of the
disorders.
The Moplah warriors. according
to oficial figures. number $4,000
armed men and 100000 of a fighting
age. The affected area covers near
ly 5000 square miles

SYSTEM GOVERNS
ARMS CONFERENCE
Politeness and PrOpagan-
da Blend With Magi-
cal Effect.
By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.

It is hard to tell whether this is
the world convention OF the sons
of "Alphonse and CASTOR" or
meeting of the International Ad
Club, politeness and propaganda
are SO gracefully blended.
Says China, I'VE want our rights
restored.7 And-whiz, bang! - as
though China had rubbed the magic
ring. come the Japanese with a bag
of lost Chinese rights and toss them
at China's feet, declaring graudly,
will there be anything e's. thi.
morning."
And when the Japs disappear. in
sails France with a bag of Loot sni.
putting Ii at China's feet, cXcla:ms,
Permit us, as a slight token OF
affection and esteem, to present
these trophies of the chase, which
shall be yours as soon as John
Bull finds his conscience"
At VIII ch John Bull waltzes up
to China, with tears in his eyes,
crying. Before you, my dear Cas-
ton, l tried to do this is years
ago" And he lays down a sack
of diamonds.
AS soon as the Americans come
across with the permanent council
for the adjudication of the disputes
arising from the disarmament pact
China's cup will be brimming.
Conflict Over Submarines.
Yesterday Great Britain handed
out, dripping blood, raw chunks OF
propaganda. Britain has been moan
ing through several official voices
about the wickedness of the sub
marine. The abolition of that de-
vice of the devil seems to be the
British mission of sweetness and
light. No one can object to Great
Britain's antipathy to the subma-
rine. In the war she was unable
to handle the German subs as well
as a major sea-power should have
handled them. And being an insu-
lar country, with doninions sepa-
rated from the parent island by
vast stretches of ocean, it is obvi-
Gus that Great Britain's self-interest
lies in the abolition of the subma- =
rine. Our self-interest, with long
coast line naked to our enemies,
requires submarines TOT defensive
war. With submarines we might
easily cut down an attacking fleet
and ward off vast destruction to
our coast cities.
The self-intercsts of the two Sreat
countries differ. But what is giving
the American reporters foot pains
is that Great Britain is putting the
abolition of the submarines upon
high moral grounds. Probably the
submarine should be abolished. 1t
is a cowardly weapon, and possibly
our naval experts may decide that
one way and another we can worry
along without il. and defend our
coast cities with other devices. We
might do that much for Great Brit
ain by way of being neighborly.
But we should not be dragooned
into it by the mother, home and
heaven stuff" that the British are
spreading. Some way Great Brit
aims posing as the outer edge of
the pacifist lunatic fringe in abol-
ishing submarines to make better
and nobler world is makeup that
lacks conviction. Rule Britannia"
as the trumpeting angel of peace
reeds stronger wings.

Sir Arthur Grifith Boscawen. presi-

Lloyd George is exploring every
path to avoid rupture of the Irish
negotiations" he continued. "but IL
the war is to be. then 1t must be.
It would be a lingering guerilla war,

BRYAN DISTRUSTS
MILITARY EXPERTS

'I am afraid of having the mill
tary experts do too much work on
this peace program" declared Will
lam Jennings Bryan, in an address
at the Central Y. M. C. A. last night
"They are too likely to emphasize
their profession" he continued. They
believe in preparedness. Our past
war was the result of preparedness
and We want peace in the future. We
must set the limits of armament and
then let the experts keep within the
limits. There Is need for spiritual
consultation in this conference. No
man can be trusted in any capacity
who does not believe in God and is
not willing to be responsible to
Him. We have had enough of the
devils yoke OF war and now must
take up the yoke Of God as shown
by service and universal brother
hood"

Japan Postpones Reply.

Asked the direct question whether
Japan could consider the Chinese
proposals as acceptable in prlnci-
pie, as the delegation said 1t con-
sidered the Hughes suggestions, the
prince said:
The time has not yet arrived
when we feel that We can reply to
this. We are giving all of the Chi
nese suggestions the most friendly
consideration. But they are most
important. and We. must be careful
to consider them from every aspect.
