CASTE DIVISION IN INDIA, According to Mr. K. V. Reddi, a barrister, who claimed to re- present 25,000,000 non-Brahmins in Madras, the difficulties of caste in India are increasing, instead of passing away. In his evidence recently before Lord Selborne's Joint Committee on the Indian Reform Bill, he remarked: "You haven't got Brahmins in England, thank God!" Mr. Reddi said that the rigour and exclusiveness of the Brahmins in Madras was such that the non-Brahmins wanted a separate electorate, in which Brahmins should have no place.

THE EASTERN CAMPAIGNS.
WHOLE WAR AND VICTORY.
In a dispatch published re- cently as a supplement to the London Gazette, Field-Marshal Allenby shows that the cam; paigns in Smai, Palestine, «and Syria formed an important part of the general Allied effort against the Central Powers. The Bastern operations had been part of a studied whole, and not an isolated campaign.
"The forces employed in this theatre," says the Field-Marshal, "may be regarded in the nature of a detachment from the main force on the western front, but en- gaged in the same great battle, changing its role and action ac- cording to the sway of events in the main theatre and the other minor theatres.

THE ARMISTICE.
In another part of the dispatch Lord Allenby describes the events from the armistice with Turkey up to March last, and his method of administering the country.

"The early months of 1918 were spent in consolidating the position in Palestine.
This necessitated a military occupation of Cilicia, Adans, and the country north and north-east of Aleppo, and strong measures had to be taken to prevent con- flicts between the Tarks and Armenians.
Finally Lord Allenby went to Constantinople and interviewed the Turkish Foreign Minister to explain the numerous breaches of the armistice committed by the Turkish commanders, and laid down certain conditions to be accepted by the Turkish Authorities. This resulted in the removal of Ali Thsan from his command about the end of February.
