HUNTING OUT FAKIR.
Anti-British Activity New Delhi, April 16. The Fakir of Ipi turned a deaf ear to appeals by the tribal elders and old women of Khaisora to desist from his anti-British activities. • Consequently, the military measures have been tightened. They include special steps to prevent provisions reaching the hostile tribes who have been worked up to a fanatical fury by his propaganda. There will soon be 30,000 British troops, including two tank brigades, operating in Waziristan in the hope of investing the fakir’s cave in the fastness of the scrub-cov-ered Shaktu Valley.
