PACIFICATION OF INDIAN FRONTIER
MAHSHUDS WON OVER. Sun Cable. Received Saturday, 2 a.m. DELHI, Jan. 11. The annual Teport of the North-West-ern Frontier Province shows immense progress in pacification as the result of the British policy of peaceful penetration through tho extension of first-class roads. “Nothing,” writes Mr. Bolton, Chief Commissioner, is more symbolical of tho change in tribesmen’s viewpoints than the increasing requests for Government intervention on purely tribal matters. The Mahshud women value the advantages of the Pax Britannica as reducing crime and border feuds and saving their men folk.
