MAHSUDS AND WAZIRS
SEVERE PUNISHMENT INFLICTED. (Eec. May 23, 5.5 p.m.) Delhi, May 21._ Summarising the effect of a, six ir.onths* campaign, upon, the Mahsuds and Wazirs, nn official report says that the tribesmen, having elected to icsist the original terms, were compelled to submit to punishment more severe than anything in their history. The.Mashuds lost over 1000 killed: and a large number of wounded. On the other hand, those who submitted were new returning confident of security under the Britisa law. This was beneficially affecting others who were short of food; consequently. there was a general' tendency to comply with the terms. The expedition taught the tribesmen that British law was not to be flouted, and it inspired' confidence in Britain's benevolent purposes and her immutable determination to pursue justice.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.-Reuter. 1 . . .
