ALLEGED RAID ON INDIAN villagers
United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Thursday, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, July 25. The Daily Herald’s Simla correspondent says the entire First Battalion of the King’s Liverpool Regiment is confined to barracks at Jubbulporc. The soldiers are not allowed to speak to each other pending an inquiry following village fights. It is stated a soldier frightened women in the village of Karodi, upon which fellow villagers attacked him. His comrades, armed with sticks, embarked upon reprisals and raided an adjoining village, believing it to be Karodi, injuring thirteen villagers, one of whom died. Major Attlee (Lab.) is demanding a statement in the Commons.
