WAR ON INDIA.
BOAIBING UK VILLAGES. LONDON, December 1. . A message from Da tin Kite! says that the recalcitrant, tribesmen to-day realised the inflexibility of the British terms. A reply to Hie tweuty-loUr hours’ ultimatum was not received at eight in the morning, and within half an hour seventeen aeroplanes were flying over Ismail Rhel with a full complement of bombs. The airmen unloaded four ions on the recalcitrants, descending to Mire? hundred feet and leaving villages heaps of dust. Further bombing operations against Wasiris will probably be unnecessary, though a column may march through the Wazuris’ country to impress the tribesmen.
