INDIAN TRIBESMEN.
FEELERS FOR PEACE. CALCUTTA, Sept, 22. The operations of 15,000 British and Indian troops on the North-West Frontier have so impressed the recalcitrant tribesmen that they are already sending out peace feelers, although individuals indulge in long-distance night sniping at troops in camps and lone mountain posts. The Government peace terms are likely to include demands for security and hostages, the latter being the customary way of ensuring that the tribesmen keep their promises. The Alohmands have been informed by pamphlets dropped from aeroplanes that, if they accept the Government’s terms and disperse, the troops will be withdrawn.
