INDIA. -I The last Inflil from India brought news which must have sickened everyone of ordinary humanitarian feeling, but no good is done by en- deavouring, as does the J>aiiy I Herald," to classify it Aniritsar as an Imperial Atro- city," or to talk of the "Butchery of unnrmeel Pnnjnh natives." What happened at Amritsar in April last is very terrible. The lives of nati ves are as valuable as thGe of the \Vestern worjd, and all will sor- row over an incident that led to the death of between four and five hun- dred people. But we have tu visualise the whol e problem. We! have to remember the situation with which our military and official leaders had to deai. Although here and there it was known even last summer that we had just emerged from a crisis :n India that might have resulted in a danger even worse than that of the Great Mutiny, the British public as are. only now boiu £ allowed to know libw grave was the position, and how narrowly we escaped a tragedy by the side f-X which the Indian Mutiny would have been a mild incident. .\n English woman, who was in Northern. India during the stirring event of last April, has given a moving picture of the situa- tion. She asks whether this time of peril was one for gentle question- ings, f.:r mild arguments, for perstmsions and parley. G eneral Jh-, 1' f:: h. !('C'¡ (n) U, sa "saved us :n Amrit^ar. Colonel Frank Johnson—the name for terror and tr us in a Sir .Michael O'Dwyer sr.verl us in the T'uujab. With the spirit of John Nicholson, they dealt with the menar-e—-the riots that would have turned into general revolution. What are the blood-stained jas- 1111)1(" in the garden of Amrit;), cornnat'ecl to the vengeance that would have had to be Haken if the mass?"re of all the white people in the Punjab had been accom- plished?" It is nocessary to explain in some detail what gave rise to the crisis. Since the end of the war the eco- nomic situation in India has been severely strained. Prices have risen enormously. There has been a shortage of ford supplies. The autumn crops were seriously re- stneted in output over a, very wide area. Economic unrest was indi-1 c ated by serious strikes in Bombay and in Madras, directed towards; securing an immediate increase ot wages. Then there were the ''Rovr- latt BiU." The-H) enabled an- archical offences to be tried quickly by a strong court consisting of three high court judges, with no right of appeal. This procedure was only to be brought into operation when the fVovetnor-f'feneral in Council was satisfied that offence^ ol revo- lutionary character were prevalent in jmy particular prut of British I Innia. The heal Crovernmr nf the area concerned was also givn power to arrest persons reasraiablv believed to be connected with re- voluti<jnary offences, and to confine them in such places and under such conditions as were prescribed. I ho | purpose of ♦ho Act was to arm th" Government with now*r to deal with anarchical movements The se^on l j Bill 1 f •editicus iloevm-"nfvril li the in i tention to publish or ehvuhUe (hem. punishable with imprisonment. The! publication of the two Bills was the signal or a violent outburst on the pait of the extremists. The campaign against the "Row- latt Bills was followed by grave outbreaks of violence in various parts of India. News with regard to these has already been made public in this country, notably in tho June number of the Round Table." In March there was serious trouble in Delhi, wloew de- monstrators compelled the native shop.lepers to closs as a sign of mourning, invad e'n the'railway stations and attacked vendors of sweetmeats in the third class re- freshment rooms for continuing to rIT their trade in defiance of a strike order. Troops were hurriedly called out, and I as the riots increased, a few voileys of buck shots were tin?-d-;au£g d,?ith and a s.eor? of casualties. This Delhi incident was exploited to inllame popular feeling, iin(i I especially to Onng the Mahomme- dans into line with the Hindus. The trouble spread, in April there was heavy licting at Ahmedabad, audi evei) in Calcutta there was a certain j amount of unrest. But it was rt Auiritsar that the greatest violence was displayed. Before troops had time to appear on the scene, the ,mGb had attacked the station, where a .European guard was beaten to death and five- European- were killed, under circumstances of great brutality. A European lady and child were attacked in the train. The situation at Amritsar grew so alarming that eventuaUy | it was dealt with in the manner do- scribed in the last mail from IndiA. It is believed that the situation Æ now definitely improved. Let us hope that the New Government of India Bill will restore tranquility,! J and that the old relations between j the rulers and the ruled will re- appear. India is a great problem | for the Empire. We hold it m trust for the people of India. Thousands of miles from the scene, it is difficult for us to give a clear view a? to whether General Dyer's a<'tion in Amritsar was justified, Eor the time being Am- ritsar is the quietest city :h Northern India. The lesson has been terrible; we pray that the Neve Government of India Bill will create- a new regime and a happier spirit between governors and governed.

Tho All Whites, as wto:; stated over- night, intend lUitkiK.'? a supreme effort to deprive Newport of their record. The selected players are: 7 Keen: three-quarters (tram) H. Lewis, E. Grey, W. J.

"Dominie "), the *oth.-»)l j provided in the Swans-Bristol Hovers Re- match at the Vetch Eieid on Sat- I urday was bright, and ntereating. l'ar- licularly was this the case in the first half when tho homesters gave a delight- ful exhibit ton of combined piny, a pleas- ing feature beinj; the accuracy with which the halves ted the for wards. For some weeks past the composition of f-iio experiment and conseqaenfjy the line fre- quently failed to p!r:e-e, but with (be in- j elusion ot Jack w illiams, Pinch ami Sheldon die, improvement was to marked that cohesion between halves and for wards is now assured. I CLEVER PLACING. I The r*-appcaram.e of Jack William* after a lengthy war service, was huiied with delight, and his play was watched eery keenly, i was greatly struck with ¡ his dean placing and ms digged tackling, and soill" of his oM admirers thought tlÚtt lie played beiter than ever.

Bjilie .Hester made a uelcome re-^pi^arance on the Vcl' h," and was responsible for ixingle's goal. Pringle. to my mind, is an acquisition at centre-forward, and is the best men thai the Ketones have t:ri<"i in that position to date. lie j commanded the slippery ball with pre- I cisiou, and was always in his place when < ailed upon.
