BRITISH TROOPS.
Patrolling of Streets Has
Salutary Effect
CLASH AT CALCUTTA. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 12 noon.) RUGBY, May 17. The presence of British troops patrolling the disturbed areas in Bombay had a salutary effect to-day. Tension was heightened by the- fact that it was the "Moharram" —the Moslem New Year. The police and troops are displaying complete impartiality towards the rioters. An order forbidding movement during night time and prohibiting assemblies of more than five people has been issued. The Governor of Bombay, Sir Frederick Sykes, drove to-day through the disturbed areas. There was a clash between Moslems and Hindus at Calcutta to-day, and during the efforts to restore order, deputy-officers and constables were struck by flying missiles. Several civilians were also hurt.
