GALLANT RESCUE
AWARD TO BRAVE INDIAN. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, January 6. The War Office announces that the King has been pleased to approve of the award of the medal of the military division of Ihe Order of-the British Empire for meritorious service to LanceNaikmathura Lal Sah, of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps. On May 31 Lal Sah plunged fully clothed into a lake at Naini Tai and rescued two police recruits who were in grave danger of drowning. The gallantry of Lal Sah was rendered more conspicuous by the fact that the lake is not only deep but notoriously dangerous because of the thick growth of weeds near the banks, and it is considered certain that one or both of the men. not being swimmers, would have drowned had it not been for the rescue effected by Lal Sah.
