THE INDIAN TROOPS.

IMPOSSIBLE EXPECTED BY THE

PUBLIC

Sydney, Juno 14

Mr. Harry Gullett, the official Australian correspondent, writes from the British headquarters stating that there has been a lot of nonsense talked about the future of the Indians in this war. 'The truth is that the British public, in their ignorance, expected an impossible -thing ♦ f them. What was tho trouble in the early days was making up the losses of officers, whose personal bond with the men is unparalleled. This has now been overcome. Neuve Chapelle showed what tho Indians could do. He saw Indian infantry a few days after, and there was one long smile of satisfaction. One pw-ud paternal officer declared, "We have got our tails up now."
