Death Toll DiScouroqes
Mob Disorders in India

troops armed with sub-machine
guns drove through troublous areas
in tacit warning to mobS
In areas where mobs had been
especially inclined to throw stones
at policemen and soldiers, troops
entered houses and arrested all who
could not give a satisfactory ac-
count of themselves.
Passersby were requisitioned to
clear obstacles from the streets.
NORMALCY NEAR?
1t was too early to say the ex-
tent to which rioting would dwindle
but authorities hoped the situation
was definitely on the way to nor
mality.
There were signs that excited
Hindus were becoming tired of their
disorders.
1t was emphasized that, despite
the serious casualty toll and the
serious riots here, at Delhi and in
some other cities, most rioting had
been of petty variety in which DEM
onstrators sought more to make
noise than cause damage.
Police and troops showed the
crowds yesterday that they meant
to act vigorously and that they
would carry out orders to maintain
order at any cost.

A Chungking spokesman for the
Chinese army said today that enemy
transports carrying 10000 Japanese
troops had appeared III the gulf of
Tongking of the French Indo-China
coast Tuesday.
Though he suggested they might
be on the way to Burma for an Of
fensive against India, they were
much closer to the Netherlands East
Indies from which they might at
tack Australia.
CAN'T FACE DEFEAT
Informants said the enemy could
not admit defeat in the Solomon
islands battle-in which the con-
solidation by marines of positions
ON the southern islands would mean
American victory-without a last
ditch fight, and a retort in another
theater.

the death toll had reached SO in
four days of Hindu disorders re-
sulting from a nationalist call for
civil disobedience campaign for
immediate independence.
Mass arrests, imposition OF emer-
gency DEGREES prescribing the death
penalty for arson and serious as
sault, public demonstrations OF
strength by reinforced troop patrols
and the natural tiring OF mobs
which included many youths and

Bombay last night and five were

on a mob of 1000 which stormed

At Patna, when the mob Surged
up to the walled grounds OF the
secretariat, the gates were barred
and authorities tried to induce
leaders to withdraw their shouting
followers. The crowd refused to
break up. Mounted police charged
three times. The mob only became
more violent. and a civil magistrate
gave the order to fire one volley.
Nineteen rioters dropped. and five
of them died of their wounds

GERMANS ATTACK

Massing their tanks and arm

heavy tanks and dive bombers
which drove the enemy back with
heavy losses. The next morning,
the Germans again attacked with
300 tanks in waves of $50. The Rus
slams allowed the tanks to advance
into a thickly-sown minefield. then

craft hurled masses of Germans
into the river. Strong counter
attacks earlier had slowed the Ger
mans in that area. and they had
not advanced for "a hours. On one
sector, the Russians have stalled
the Germans for three days.
The fighting was now in the
rough foothills of the Caucasian
mountains, the advantages of tank
superiority were diminishing and the
Germans were fighting under con-
ditions naturally adapted to the
tactics of the tough Soviet soldiers
of the north Caucasus.
Great tank battles were resumed
northeast of Kotelnikovski, where,
the Soviet army organ Red Star
reported, Russian artillery and
dive bombers were smashing back
herds of panzers with enormous
lcsses.'

Now that America is just beginning TO

send to American women Il message of deep
sympathy and also of encouragement. War
is a frightful thing, but to women it appeals
to the highest in us, makes us want to sac

Spcndours of devotion.
Now is the time for women to show the
greatest calmncSS, courage and resource as
well as the complete suppression of nerves
and excitement so as not to cmbarrass the
dear ones fighting for them. This is the
first great effort all women must make in n
sudden calamity like this.
The second great effort is the using Of
