Tho age-old religious antagonism between Hindus and Moslems which flared up in Bombay shows signs of spreading to other centres, the latest disturbance being in the Hindu state of Alwar, where communal feeling culminated in grave incidents.

State troops prevented a clash but the crowds stampeded and the troops, fearing attack, opened lire, killing three and wounding 40. The tension continues. Three were killed and 20 injured in Hindu-Moslem riots at Pundria, a small town in. the Punjab. Four were killed and many injured in communal rioting in several villages. At Jessore, near Calcutta, armed police separated infuriated religionists numbering several thousands. Stabbing outrages continue in Bombay.
