INDIA'S FRONTIER.
RECENT CAMPAIGN REVIEWED. VALUE OF STERN MEASURESBy Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright, Received May 23, 5.5 p.m. Delhi, May 21. Summarising the effect of a six months' campaign upon the Mahsuds and Wazirs, a report says the tribesmen, having elected to resist the original terms, were compelled to submit to punishment more severe than anything in their history. The Mahsuds lost over a thousand killed, and a large number wounded. On the other hand, those who submitted were now returning confident of security under British law. This was beneficially affecting the others, who were short of food, and 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 inspired confidence in Britain's benevolent purposes and her immutable determination to pursue justice.—Aus.TS.Z- Cable Assn.
