GOVERNOR OF BENGAL
SPEECH CAUSES RESENTMENT. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. DELHI, August 18. (Received August 19, at 11.20 p.m.) Speaking at a recent parade of police at Dacca the Earl of Lytton, Governor of Bengal, referred to the difficulties in the lot of Indian policemen. He referred in scathing terms to those Indians who, for their own purposes, urged their womenkind to allege that they had been criminally assaulted by policemen. The speech aroused great indignation in Indian circles throughout Bengal, and the Nationalist Party has decided to boycott all functions attended by Lord Lytton. Strong protests are being made against tho aspersions on the honour of Indian womanhood.—Sydney Sun Cable.
