JACKETS OF FAITH. MADRAS, Nov 10. There are signs that the Moplah revolt is breaking up in some parts ot Malabar, South-West India. In other areas the Moplahs who are Mohammedans, are still forcibly trying to convert Hindus to their religion. Hindus are made to recite verses from the Koran, which the Moplahs regard as .a “confession of faith.” Wben there is time and a barber is at hand the victims are shaved and made to put on the Moplah skull-cap. Women converts are forced to wear a special jacket, but the supply of jackets seem to have been exhausted. In other cases Hindus have been released] after having promised to embrace Islam and present themselves for ceremonial conversion whenever ordered. There are more than 9,000 refugees in Malabar camps.
