FIRST DOMINION TROOPS CONTINGENT OF PUNJABIS (Reed. Jan. 8, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 7. The British United Press correspondent with the British Expeditionary Force reports that the first Dominion troops have reached the battle zone. A vanguard of the Indian contingent unloaded 100 mules at an advanced railhead and proceeded to the front. The contingent consists entirely of Punjabis direct from the Khyber Pass. They are inured to the bitter cold. A Paris message later reported that a second large Indian contingent had landed.
