Military arrived at noon, fired into the air and helped the police to clear the bazaars. On Septem- ber 10, however, a number of Moslems entered the city through holes in the wall, intent on murder and looting.

The Daily Telegraph's" Calcutta correspon. ~dent describes the outbreak as one of the worst in the recent tragic records of Hindu-Moslem animosi ty and says that only the promptness of the authorities in calling out the troops prevented the massacre of the Hindu alinority.

LEAGUE OF: NATIONS, F
PENAL MEASURES DISCUSSED.
POSITION OF BRITISH NAVY, (Reuter's Service.)
LONDON, September 15. With reference to the conflicting statements in the newspapers with regard to the League of Nations utilising the British Fleet in the event of
breach of the Covenant, Reuter's Geneva corres- pondent says the position has undergone no change since Sir Cecil Hurst's important statement to the committee last week, when he explained the difficulties of such a course from the legal point of view, pointing out there were twp schools of thought in this connection namely the Anglo- Saxon and Continental. This point will have to be cleared up..
Britain, if called upon to support penal measures against any country," might come into conflict with other nations trading on the seas. Consequently it was necessary to know exactly. how the permanent Court of International Justice would deal with such a case. The participation of the British Navy depended upon this decision.
A Geneva cable states that the sub-committee dealing with drafting a protocol on this subject has entrusted the drawing up of terms to M. Benes, who worked throughout yesterday, and to-day, He repeatedly interviewed Lord Parmoor, with whom several members of the French delegation also conferred Lord Parmoor told Reuter that no definite British proposal regarding the utilisation of the British Navy had been either made or whdrawn:
