ROUNDING UP THE GERMANS.

GOOD WORK BY INDIAN CAVALRY, v (N.Z. and Australian Cable Association, and Reuter. V Received October 4, 2.50 p.m. LONDON, October 3. Reuter's correspondent at Ossindinge, East Africa, says that the rounding up of the Germans is proceeding vigorously. The Indian cavalry are doing invaluable work in outflanking the enemy and destroying many German food depots. The Nigerians captured Mawerenge, killing the largest number of Germans in any engagement in the campaign. A German officer sjamboked his platoon in the face of machineguns, and perished with them. The post captured on the Portuguese border is important because it was the only remaining source of the enemy's salt supply.
