DEFIANCE URGED.
GANDHI'S CHANGED VIEWS. A FRACAS AT DELHI. {United Press DELHI, \April 8. Thousands of villagers who journeyed to Aat, in the Bombay Presidency, expecting to see Mahatma Gandhi arrested, were disappointed, as the authorities are completely ignoring bim. Gandhi exhorted bis bearers to abandon their attitude of non-violence and to resist to the uttermost the confiscation of any of the small quantity of salt which he and his followers have distributed. He is urging the women especially to defy the authorities to touch them, which would constitute a deadly insult in native eyes. Demonstrators have been arrested in several places and sentenced to terms of imprisonment. A fracas between Gandhi's volunteers and the police in Delhi resulted in slight injuries to seven, of the former, who were carried through the streets as evidence of the "Government's repression" methods.
