Men, Women And Children

Cut To Pieces

(By JAMES MICHAELS)

New Delhi, Sept. 8.-Bearded Sikhs, slashing with thrac-foot swords, pulled Moslem men, women and children off the Lahore train at the main Delhi station today and cut them to pieces.

Hindu troops and police stood by without interfering.

I counted at least 50 Moslem bodies cut up like so much dogineat, piled on baggage handcarts or lying in rail compartments or stretched across the tracks.

Flies swarmed down on the un- dried blood.

London, Sept. 8.-Freddie Mills, British and Empire cruiser-weight champion, made a successful start on the road back to another crack at the world title when he battered Pol Guffaux, Belgian cham- pion, into submission in the fifth round of their scheduled 15 round European cruiserweight cham- pionship fight at the Harringay Arena tonight.
