FROM EUROPE & ASIATIC AREAS THOUSANDS GIVEN REFUGE IN INDIA. FOR DURATION OE 1 WAR. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.0 a.m.) LONDON, December 22. Arrangements are being made to give eleven thousand children refuge in India for the duration of the war, says the “Daily Telegraph’s” Delhi correspondent. Already about a thousand children have made the. trek across Iran and Baluchistan, after drifting to South Russia from Poland. Many are still suffering from the effects of famine and disease. ' Poles predominate among India’s refugees, who also include many Greeks. Others, from Iran, Somaliland, Jibuti and Aden include Austrians, French, Rumanians, Australians and Canadians. There are also many Anglo-Chinese, Anglo-Burmese and Anglo-Malayans. The most unexpected are about six hundred Maltese, from a centuries-old community in Turkey. A recent Turkish law required them to take up Turkish nationality or quit. As they were- unable to return to Malta, they temporarily settled in India.
