A message from Datta-Kel says that the recalcitrant natives to-day realised the inflexibility of the British terms. The reply to the four hours’ ultimatum was not received by eight in the morning, and within half an hour seventeen aeroplanes were flying over Khel with a full complement- of bombs. The airmen unloaded four tons on the recalcitrants, descending to three hundred feet and leaving the villages heaps of dust. Further bombing operations against the Waziris will probably be unnecessary though a column may march through .the Waziris’ country to impress the tribesmen.—Reuter.
