SIKH'S DISC OF DEATH

Strange Weapon Used by the Indian ‘ -‘Treops In War

The Sikhs fighting in the War can certainly claim to possess the most unique form of weapon of any military unit. in the campaign. - This is a hand thrown missile, composed . of metal similar in shape to, the discus with. which wé have been made fa- mniliar in Roman history. «Its: is sharpenea, and thrown with a’ pecul- jar clreular motion, has extraordinary penetrating power. It cuts like a knife through paper. when it strikes any object in its path. At a distance of 100 yards the disc is. capable of cutting its way through ‘a piece. of hard wood two inches thick. It is the peculiar twist given to the weapon when it 1s thrown which, causes the cutting edge to bury ' itself so re-

morselessly in’ anything that it meets.|-

It is doubtful- whether any but the Sikhs could effectively use this unique weapon, They made deadly use of the disc of death at the Battle of Dix- mude, when 20,000 Germans are gaid to have been slaughtered ina brilliant Indian charge, y

The Maharaja is the fifth of th Indian princes: who have left India on active military service. He is the adopted gon of the celebrated Sir Pertah Singh.

All peoples and creeds in India are united today in .enthusiasm - for. the cause of the empire, he-said. +

“Every Indian, old and young, would most gladly respond to the King-Em- peror's call. :As only a comparatively smal) number of men thay go to the battlefield at present, many. officers and Indians of high birth are going in the ranks.’ You will probably be sur- prised to learn that my two saices; or grooms, are captains.

His mother supported him in this desire. _Finally he wrote to the vice- roy saying:-“"Why amt not allowed to go? I have three brothers, go if 1’ am killed in battle it goes not matter.”

The French atmy have always taker particular care of their postal arrange- ments, while serving in the field, and the system appears to have. been in- troduced during the Spanish war of 1828. ‘Phis was before the introduc- tion of postage stamps but-it affords an interesting parallel. The officer Th charge. was called a commissary, and there was an inspector with cach army corps. -

Then, there were postmasters, and quite a small army of couriers and postillions—called sous employees. were uniform, but were ranked a: combatants. After the campaign the commissary wa paymaster-general, and his tresoriers payeurs, that the tions of postmastet dn ” ; posts were undertaken byche,pay, partmen

General Baden Powell ts fadiys optimistic about the war than‘ atte of England's great men: of Mafeking, in discussi said: ; :

“There are still many perséjl country districts and even ittmmiR our large towns who do né@eses what this great war meaug-that Britain’s fight is one for her very ex- istences We receive-éncouraging re- ports that we are doing well, but we must remember that one side. fiPthe other must go under and go upder for ever. At present - it looks as if the. wind is blowing in our favor but there is always the uncxpected. You cannot tell.” The only thing to do is to try to smash the Germans )ow,. which means that every man must put his shoulder to the wheel,”

The Germans, it is pointed out by the general, have nine places from which they could embark with troops in an effort to make a landing in Eng- land. ‘He . estimates that .a greater ° force than 10,000 would probably not be.sent from each of these points, making a. total of less than 100,000.
