LORD DIES OF WOUNDS.
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.
(Received 1 a.m.) LONDON. Nov. 1. Lord Llangattock has died of wounds in France.
INDIANS AS SOLDIERS.
VOLUNTEERS FROM FIJI.
From time to time, announcements have appeared in the Fiji newspapers, writes our Suva correspondent, that small batches of Indians, some born in India and some here, have gone to Auckland and have been accepted in the expeditionary forces.
Mr. John F. Grant, who has just returned to Suva from a tour of Yiti Leva, stated on October 25 that the Indians in the island are very desirous of seeing an Indian platoon despatched to the front.
The suggestion is that a force of fifty men be enlisted here ai i sent to Auckland to join the Maori soldiers in training at Narrow Neck', or to be attached to any other unit that the authorities -nay choose.
There would certainly be no lack of recruits, and the Indians are quite willing to subscribe the necessary expenses. It would be a pity if such keenness should be wasted.
