INDIA’S PRECAUTIONS
BENGAL LEADER ARRESTED. [WIRELESS.] RUGBY, January 20. Sen Gupta, the Bengal Nationalist leader, was arrested to-day under the emergency regulations, on his arrival at Bombay from England, as an agitator. He attained some notoriety, and was frequently sentenced in the past for sedition and other offences, and he openly advocated a fresh struggle. A Peshawar telegram states that there are many indications in the Peshawar district of a gradual return to normal conditions, and increasing distrust of the Congress. Arrears of revenue are being paid regularly. Many red shirt uniforms, which are the outward badge of the Congress in this province, have been handed in, and picketing is decreasing. WOMEN POLICE ENLISTED. (Received January 21, 9 a.m.) CALCUTTA, January 20. Lately, women have been taking an aggressive part in Indian politics. The police were forced in embarrassing situations, in dealing with the women pickets and unlawful processions, reminiscent of the suffragette days in London. An official effort to deal with the situation is revealed in an advertisement in the Press, to-day, for women recruits for enlistment in the uniformed Delhi police, on the same terms as men. They will deal only with women.
