A SMILE.

[AHATMA GANDHI was arrested in Bombay early to-day and is lodged, with Vallabhai Patel, President of Congress, at Yerwada Gaol, Poona.

Gandhi's eccentricities, which continue to surprise everyone, forced the authorities to effect his arrest under circumstances different from those planned. Just before he was due to leave for Ahmedabad, Gandhi changed his mind, to the consternation of the authoritics, who had prepared an elaborate plan to arrest him at midnight on a quiet stretch of the railway to the north of Bombay. Gandhi remained in Bombay and was arrested there.

It appears that the Ordinance under which Gandhi has been arrested allows him to be kept under restraint during the Government's pleasure.
