FELT IN INDIA
EFFECTS OF THE WAR PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES (Per United Press Association; AUCKLAND, Oct. 16. "The effects of the war were felt immediately throughout India, and everyone, even the most ignorant villagers in distant places knew within a few days that war was on," said Captain A. Cooke, chief medical officer of the Salvation Army Missionary Hospital at Anand, in the Bombay Presidency. He arrived at Auckland to-day on furlough, accompanied by his wife, who is also a captain.
