A strong resistance is anticipat ed, as tribesmen, realising their desperate plight, are reported to be prepared to fight to the laat man, while many of their women- folk have committed suicide, so as to leave their warriors free of anxiety, sa to their safety.

But it is aggras vated by the presence of large areas of sodden ground. Such areas round London are being decreased, both by drainage and building,
