with tho Ali brothers and their con-
freres.
Mahatma 0han1hi is blamed by
many for the Moplals atrocities. He
tried to get into the disturbed district
but was prevented by the government.
I think he should have been allowed to

Ghandi's followers look upon him as

India shed tears over her $50 millions
of people. her 100000 square miles Of

shines on. especially that which is un-
der the 10000 miles of irrigating bitches
and hundreds of thousands OF miles OF
lateral bitches whose waters touch as

bring forth food. Many of the bitches
carry 200 second feet or more of water.
The Indians ask of the British to be
treated as brothers and not as slaves

in the treatment Of servant. by the
British since II years ago. They still
insist on servant rising as they pass
which causes considerable contention.
The trial In the higher court of the
Ali brothers ct al is now on here.
Large posters were put up In the city

Many conservative Englishmen and
