Show Those Indian Troops WHEN Great Britain determined to punish King Theodore of Abyssinia for insulting some English citizens, General Napier took tho Indian troops to do the work. When Disraeli wanted, at tho treaty of Berlin to bully RuBSia out of the spoils of the Russian-Turkish war, as a bluff he ordered some shiploads of those same Indian troops to come from Bombay to Malta and held them there as a half-threat of war and the bluff won. Now when the combined French and British armies are in an almost death-lock on the French-Belgium French-Belgium boundary 70,000 of these same troops are hurried to reinforce the British line. It is all very grand, but it is dangerous, nevertheless. All western Asia is watching and fifty years hence those hordes will have 20,000,000 trained soldiers. That hive should not be encouraged to swarm. |
