IN INDIA

ARMY’S PLANS. [United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] DELHI, Sept. 10. The military experts have put forward a proposal for a large scale expedition to subdue and bring under permanent control tile insurgent Tribes on the North-West Frontier, hut financial difficulties stand in the way of their scheme. The opinion is expressed that the Afridi unrest has not subsided and the Army authorities argue that a concerted atieinpt to subdue this region, once and for all, would prove less costly in the long run than continual vigilance and the suppression of outbursts, and would enable a reduction of the frontier forces to be made.

The Viceroy’s Executive Council has carefully considered the matter, but the fact that the proposed move would cost at least twenty-three millions sterling would appear, in view of the present financial stringency, to put it out of the question.
