WAR NEWS.
THE INDIAN TROOPS AT THE FRONT.
says: An officer, writing from the front, A London message of the 3rd December says that the Indian troops, despite the strange land, strange war, and bitter and terrible cold, have done magnificently. They are excellently fed and furnished with warm clothes by the Government, which are supplemented by generous gifts from England sent by the wives and friends of officers. We are giving them braziors in the trenches," he says," and one enterprising Supper has even sent to Paris for electric radiators, on trial, which are to be worked by the power for telephones and search-lights. It is not only the Sikhs, Pathans and Gurkhas who
can fight; the Itajputs, Jats, Panjabis and Decanni Mussalmans, Garwhalis and Dogras are doing every hit as well, especially the Jets?

"I spent two days in Bremen. There are evidences on every side of unemployment, many places of business shat, shops deserted, the harbour silent. The smokeless funnels of the ships and the unfrequented wharves here, as at Ham- burg, are eloquent testimony of England's grim grip on Germany's world-trade. One is not allowed to see much in the harbour, but I was told that there were some trans- ports there filled with troops to be used for a raid on England.
