VICEROY'S TRIBUTE TO INDIA'S GRAND WAR CONTRIBUTION

A TRIBUTE TO THE glorious troops in- the many battlefields of the war was paid by the Viceroy in a broadcast, from Simla, to the people of India on the anniversary of the out- break of the war.

The Viceroy said: "India is awake. She is mighty and formidable, and she shall, if you so determine, be mightier yet. The war, like the bursting of a great dam, has released waters of destruction on the world. noise of these waters was far off when India set herself to meet the storm.

"In two years' time, the war! has rolled much nearer our shores, and not from one direc- tion only. But India stands firm,

SIR TEJ SAPRU PAYS TRIBUTE TO BRITAIN

"WHAT MAKES ME confident about the suc cess of England is the spirit of courage and sacrifice which is animating her people, young and old, men and women," said Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, the In- dian Liberal leader, in a broadcast from Allahabad yesterday.

He stated the English people had a remarkable gift of adjusting themselves to changed circums- tances. They had indomitable courage and an un- failing power of endurance which, more than economic and military resources, should enable them to win the war.
