INDIAN BORDER CRIME.
AFRIDIS TERRIBLE REVENGE
PESHAWAR, April 15.
A profound shock' was caused by the horrible. crime at two yesterday morning at Kohat (see carly. In a speech at the unveiling of a monument to cables). It was committed by bloodthirsty ruffians the fallen M. Poincare said France was seeking to presumably from across the border Daly two miles protect the frontiers against fresh aggression.away. Despite the fact that military were guarding France was the heaviest sufferer in the war and could not reduce the reparations demands. It was now her duty to win the peace. Germany had not attempted to pay reparations.; France had spent a hundred milliards of francs on Germany's account. France made three discoveries, in the Ruhr. Firstly Germany could have delivered the coal she owed, since she now doing without Ruhr coal, secondly she could have paid in foreign currency since she was now using it to buy goods abroad, thirdly the Schutz Polizei was a disguised military organisation.
was
the next bungalow where the Commander of Kohat was quartered and an officer was sleeping in a spare room in the Ellis bungalow as a precaution during the absence of the husband the raiders escaped. There was no alarm and no shot was fired. The murder was committed with daggers and is suspect-. ed to be connected with the Foulkes murder cases in 1920. Proofs of the complicity' therein of the members of the Bostikel section of the Afridis were found in a recent counter-raid to recover police rifles. It is thought that fear of punishment and a desire to revenge the counter-raid led to the crime with the object of holding the Englishwoman host- age for the arrested tribesmen. The military and civil authorities are doing their utmost to rescue Miss Ellis and to exact full retribution.
Had a two years' moratorium been granted, Germany would thereafter have defied the Allies. France would firmly hold the guarantees she had seized and would not surrender them in exchange for more promises. She would only withdraw from the Ruhr gradually as payments were made. She would patiently complete the task begun. Germany
uld look vainly for any sign of wavering from CANCELLATION OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED. France. Without violence.or provocation. France. would continue to the end.
