REINFORCEMENTS FROM INDIA.

NO REASON FOR ANXIETY.

LONDON, July 20...

In the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Lambert, Mr. Winston Churchill stated that larger reinforcements had been ordered from India for Mesopotamia. The Commander-in-Chief in Mesopotamia was fully authorised to take any measures for concentration or contraction that the Situation required. Therefore there was no reason for anxiety. With regard to the general safety of the garrisons the small force at Rumeita still holding out was being supplied from the air.

SOME MAGNIFICENT DRIVES. "

It used to be said of Hongkong- and with a certain degree of fairness that after you have been to Happy Valicy and the Peak, and taken the tram-ride to Shau-ki-wan and a tiesha trip down Queen's Road, there is rothing to do except sit around the hotel lobby and wait for your steamer. Now, thanks to the engineering genius el British raad-builders and the com.. ing of the automobile. the situation is skogether different. Hongkang to day offers the traveller two of the | most magnificent drives to be lound anywhere in the East, says Cook's Far Eastern Traveller's Gazette.

The Arst of these is the motor trip entirely around the island of Hong- kong, which is about ten ailes long and from two to five miles bread. afords about three hours of scenic

The War Office states that the operations of the column sent from Bagdad to relieve Rumeita have been hampered by the Arabs continually cutting the railway. British aeroplanes effectively bombed the Arabs at Rumeita who suffered heavy casualties from the troops and aeroplanes.enjoyment with never a duti moment, The rebellion appears to have spread to the Shamiyan district where at least one tribe has joined the insurgents, but it has not spread beyond the middle Euphrates area. The approximate British casualties are 160 killed and missing, and 244 wounded.

GENERAL DYER.

DEBATE IN HOUSE OF LORDS CONCLUDED.

OUTSPOKEN DENUNCIATIONS.

LONDON, July 21.

In the House of Lords the Dyer debate was concluded. Lord Finlay's motion deploring the conduct of General Dyer's case as unjust to him and establishing a precedent dangerous to the preservation of order in the face of rebellion, was carried by 129 votes to 86.

Lord Müner declared that action like General Dyer's at Amritsar tended to undermine rather that to strengthen authority. The firing was a terrible error of judgment involving fearful consequences but the Government would have committed a more terrible mistake it for fear of unpopularity it had hesitated to cordemi General Dyer's action. Lord Milner contended that the Government had dealt considerately and leniently, wh General Byer. Sir James Meston, a leading ex-Anglo-Indian civil servant 4 described General Dyer's action unjustifiable and denied that the security of the Punjab had depended upon it.

Lord Curzon said that the condemnation of generál Dyer rested on his own statements. He particularly denounced the humiliating order given that Indians should crawl on their stomachs down the street where a European lady had been assaulted,

Here at the neck of title cove whose beauty equals any spot in the Inland Sea of Japan, is the new Repulse Bay Hotel, where it ray be your pleasure to stop for light re- freshments in the seductive grill-room. Through scenery of undiminished grandeur, the journey is resumed via Stanley and Taitam Bay, thence to the great Taium Reservoir and on around the bleak eastern end of the island. On reaching-again the northern coast the roadway runs through the crowd- ed Chinese villages of the harbour front and passes the military and naval barracks and arsenals. If Happy Valley has not already been visited, it may be included on the way back to the hotel.

LONDON, July, 20.

A band of between 40 and 50 men ambushed four policemen who were motoring from Galway to the Assizes at Dunmore last night. Two of the constables were mortally wounded.

LONDON July 20,

The New Territory is traversed all the way to the Chinese boundary by a new military road that is a remarkable piece of engineering. It runs at times-around the sides of rugged hills; at times it skirts the deep blue of the China Sea, and anon in drops down into the lowlands where Chinese farmers and villagers are seen at their daily woks.

This drive starts from Kowloon City, directly, opposite Hongkong. with which it is connected by an effi- cient ferry service.
