Burial Alive

Bombay, Jan. 30.

SADHU (religious mendicant), who had been buried alive, 24 hours earlier, was dug up at Indore in the presence of a crowd which in- cluded high officers of State..

He was found sitting like a statue in the same position as he had placed himself in the grave. Gradually he regained consciousness under the watchful eye of doctors, who found that the heart beats were being con- trolled till the sadhu became normal.

The distance is 70 miles as the crow flies, but the yachts covered over 150 miles, tacking back and forth over the desert.

THE SERVICES

THEY CONTROL THE DESTINY

OF AN EMPIRE

By Dan Rogers

London, Jan. 30.

If war should break out to-morrow, Great Britain's armed forces would move into action under command of three men of ripe experience, who together have served 138 years in the Empire's fighting forces..........

Theoretically, King George VI would be commander-in-chief, but actually the sea, land and air forces would be directed by the first sea lord, the chief of the imperial general staff and the air chief marshal. In grave matters of policy, of course, the prime minister and the cabinet would have the last word.
