A STRIKE OF SCHOOLBOYS.
MOPLAH REVOLT IN HAND. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. A. and N.Z. DELHI, Sept. $. Schoolboys are on strike throughout Travancore, in the south of India. The ostensible cause of the strike, which has been fostered by extremists, is the raising of fees. All the schools are closed. The Government has issued a serious warning that lawlessness . will be rigorously eradicated.
As a result of organised looting of the grain shops at Meerut, in the North-West Provinces, owing to high prices charged by unscrupulous speculators, the bazaars have been closed and the military are patrolling them.
It is officially announced that the situation in Malabar is well in hand. The Moplah casualties were very heavy, owing to their absolute disregard of life. It is stated that attempts were unsuccessfully made to tamper with the loyalty of the troops, which the Government does not view with, equanimity.
