 JAIL CONFERENCES
hahatma Asks EnSland's Inten- tions Before Ending Campaign

Poona, India, Aug. 14 LPl-Con- ferences in Yeroda jail of civil dis obedience leaders were halted for day after two hours of debate this forenoon when the Mahatma Gand- hi asked for assurances of the gov ernments intentions toward India before committing himself to abandonment of his campaign for pendence.
 The session was adjourned until tomorrow. Sir Tej Bahadur Saptu and Mir. Jayakar, the moderate leaders who have been trying for several weeks to bring about a ces- sation of salt raids and other forms of resistance to the government ap- poared to observers to be unusually grave when they emerged from the Mahatma's quarters in Yeroda pris- on this afternoon.
 Jailed Leaders Attend
 Attending the session were Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, third in succession " t+I' -'ILlidlilli- ti7 lfdI'I oL '-ll the volunteers; the Pandts Motilal and JaWarhalal Jehru and Nallab- hai Patel,
 All Of these leaders were permit ted to attend by order of Niceroy Lord Irwin although they were serving sentences for violation of the, salt laws or other offenses. Only the two moderate peaCemakers, Sir lei and MT. Jayakar. were not pris- oners. It was to carry out their plan to avert a crisis in India be- fore the forthcoming round table conference in London that the nc gouatlons were begun.
 The request of Mahatma Gandhi for more information regarding the governments intention toward ln- dia's future indicated that the "ho!v one" was not ready to surrender all his policies for the sake of promo.- ing discussions, since the recent Simon report on India had proven unsatisfactory to the congress mem bcrs.

AT THE EMBASSY

This is the play 50 perfect, so inspiring, so to be cher ished that columns and columns have been written expressing a fear Of what would happen to it in its transition from the speaking stage to the talking cellulod.
 Journeys End" is a story of British officers in a dug-out at St. Quentin in March, 1918. The story opens with them coming to the front for their turn again at six days Of living only 100 yards from the German front line-six days of eating and sleeping in a dark, vile underground cubbyhole. of sloshing through muddy trenches, of war war that somehow seems so silly.
 And the men jest; they tell yarns; they drink, The great thing is not to think of what is going to happen to them-for they know the very hour Of a German attack and know that there is no support at their rear. They do childish things to amuse themselves, to make the time pass. Deadly monotony is mingled with deadly terror that they must conceal,
