MOPLAH REVOLT.
11 El N FORCEMENTS FOR BRITISH TROOPS. DELHI, Oct. 4. The military situation in Moplah I districts is difficult, owing to the wild, densely-wooded country. Consequently the present forces are unable to firmly cope with the guerilla tactics of the rebels. Further reinforcements are being sent. Five thousand Moplnhs attacked • Christians working the tile factory at Edacolam. They killed one and fatally wounded five. It is*reported that 34 Hindus and two loyal Moplahs were beheaded at Tlnirvur for helping the troops. Several smaller outrages are reported.—A. and N.Z.C.A.
