APPEAL TO RENDER HELP. TASK BEFORE CONFERENCE. (Received September 14. 12.45 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 13. Mr. Gandhi's arrival in London to-day received prominent notice in the press. Responsible organs appeal to him to give practical help at the India Round Table Conference in its supremely difficult task. There are some suggestions that his eccentricities in clothing and his asceticism are mere showmanship. When Mr. Gandhi arrived at Marseilles by boat from Bombay he wore a loincloth and self-made shawl in spite of. the early morning chill. He stated that when in London ho proposed to stay in the East End. Mr. Gandhi remarked that ho was anxious to travel to Paris third-class, but there were no third-class carriages on the train.
