While I consider that alcohol in its various combinations and forms Is one of the most valuable and powerful foods we possess, writes Sir W. Arbuthnot Lane, Bart, ia a Home paper, I realise that, though Its capacity for good in moderation is great, its use in excess is far more deleterious and dangerous than that of almost any other article of diet.

The Afghan war which followed the rebellion, might have been a great disaster but for General Before Dyer's action at Amritsar.
Criticising the indiscriminate and frequent recourse to alcohol in this form between meats it is obvious that while the cocktail stimulates the stomach unnaturally when not accompanied by food, this frequent stimulation very readily upsets digestion.

Mr. Colvin gives a moving account of General Dyer's illness due to the hardships of Frontier warfare. He asserts that when General Dyer was 'n hos pital he was almost forced to rise from his sickbed and go to Delhi to receive his sentence of condemna tion from Sir Charles Monro, although General Dyer had com- manded the Second Division in January 1920, a promotion which showed what the Commander-in- Chief really thought of General Dyer and Amritsar.

which was urged by Mr. Churchill | as a reason for condemning General Dyer. Mr. Colvin, quotes the prece- dent of "the battle of Sydney Street on January 3, 1911, when Mr. Churchill without reading the Riot Act directed a force of 1,000 to 1,600 police, 90 men with rifles, Scots Guards, machine gun detach- ment, and a field gun, to say nothing of the fire brigade, against two men armed with Mauser pistols. Mr. Colvin describes this as "a maximum of force" compared with General Dyer's "minimum of fores” and further claims General Dyer as a humane man who knew and loved the Indian people and who was loved by them before and after the Jallianwala Bagh incident.
