LONDON, May S (IN.SJ.-
With all India in state Of ten
sion following the arrest Of
Mahatma Gandhi, British authori-
ties took vigorous steps today to
stamp out any attempt at VIC.
lence.
Troops raided the headquarters
of the Nationalist organization at
Peshawar, scene of bloody COM
bats during the last two weeks.
Ten leading agitators were ar
rested and important documents
seized, according to PeShawar dis
patches to the evening news
papers.
BOMBAY, May 5 Q.N.S0.-The
British Lion flirted punitive
paw today and Mahatma Gandhi,
Indian nationalist leader, who
has been conducting a long cam
paign of civil disobedience against
British rule, was suddenly ar
rested and placed in jail.
Rudely awakened from his
sleep at i O'Clock this morn
ing, Gandhi' achieved his long
ton in the Yearroda jail, while
threats of nationwide strikes and
the possibility of a general up
rising followed in the wake Of his
prison van.
Dispatches gave vivid details of
the Mahatma's arrest. After
long and serious consideration.
the Bombay government, with
the sanction and authority CT
the British crown, had decided
Gandhi's doctrine of passivity
had failed to hold in check the
violence of many of his followers.
Accordingly, the magistrate of
the Surat District was empowered
to carry out the arrest. Ac-
companied by a few native
guards and two British soldiers,
the magistrate Travelled to
Gandhi's darkened cottage by
motor car.
The door was open. No serv-
ants were about. Displaying no
weapons, the magistrate walked
quickly across the room to where
Gandhi lay sleeping on his hard
couch. The magistrate flashed
the rays of his electric hand-lamp
on the sleeper's face.
Gandhi, who had pleaded for
weeks for the British to arrest
him as a necessary step for fur
therance of his cause. awoke i'm
mediately and without a word.
With a faint smile lighting his
thin features, he rose, threw a
mantle about him and silently
accompanied the magistrate to
the waiting autom' le.
At the doorway, he gripped the
hand of his wife, his constant
companion and chief lieutenant
in his long campaign of civil dis
obedience, in a gesture of fare
well. He was taken to the Surat
railway station, where a special
ear was awaiting hi.h.
At Borivili, the train stopped
800 yards away from the station.
The white-robed figure and his
captors were seen to descend from
the far side and enter heavily
curtained automobile.
In this they drove to Poona,
where the leader of history'S
greatest subversive campaign
against British rule in India was
lodged in a cell under the terms
of statute formulated in 1927.
Prison officials said he was in
excellent health and spirits. Every
provision would be made, they
said. for his well-being.
Meanwhile, his wife called upon
his nationalist forces to rise up
and avenge her husbands arrest.
she said:
ut is to be hoped that India
will show its mettle and give a
fitting reply to the govern
ment's unwarranted action"

Protect Black Locust Trees

THE forest experts campaign against scrub
growth and underground, which present a
menace to profitable forest development through
adding to the fire hazard and through the
stunning effect of too great congestion, finds no
support so far as the production Of black locust
is concerned.
This tree, which Is rapidly coming to the
forefront in filling the demand for fence and
other posts which are forced to do service
beneath the ground, is beset by one pest, the
locust borer. This borer tlfives in sunshine
and finds shaded areas little to its liking.
Because of this, the growth of underbrush and
weeds is encouraged in order that the sunshine
may be kept from the lower trunks Of the trees.
The locusts, which have come into demand
with the lessening of the chestnut supply, grow
rapidly, and viii produce profitable return IN
10 to 20 years on good SOIL They mature
rapidly in any SOIL but the growth is slower in
dry infertile lands.
Because of the extensive root structure of the
black locust 1t serves an admirable purpose In
the prevention Of soil erosion, and win aid
farmers with sidehill farms TO prevent the
washing away of top soil during heavy rains.
