THE MOPLAH REVOLT
REINFORCEMENTS SENT. CHRISTIAN WORKERS ATTACKED. LOYAL SUBJECTS BEHEADED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received October 5, 11.40 a.m. DELHI, October 4. The military situation in the Moplah districts is difficult owing to the wild, densely-wooded country. Consequently the present forces are unable firmly to cope with the guerrilla tactics of the rebels, and further reinforcements arc being sent. Five thousand Moplahs attacked the Christians working at a tile factory, lidacolam. They killed one and fatally wounded five. It is reported that 34 Hindus and two foyal Moplahs were beheaded'at Thurvur for helping the troops. Several small outrages are reported.
