INDIAN OFFICERS MAY NOW

COMMAND WHITES

Indian Army officers will in future be allowed to com- mand white troops in time of emergency, according to an Order issued by the Commander-in-Chief in India.

Hitherto Indians (who hold a certain type of commission granted by the Viceroy of India instead of by the King as is the case with white officers) have only held command-in- Indianised units.

Policeman Who Took A "Long" Walk

AND HE'S TRAVELLED 38,000 MILES!

Swinton, Dec. 10.

MR. PHILIP H. ROSS, a former South African policeman who has just arrived here, was ordered by his doctor in 1928 to go for a long walk. That was in order to get his nerves put right after having been mauled by a Hon.

His walk, which he began with 15s, in his pocket, has carried him 38,000 miles to various parts of the world-19,768 miles on foot.

And in his nerve-setting travels, he has had the most nerve-macking experiences.

He arrived at Napler, New Zea- land, at 9 a.m. on July 3, 1931. At G00
