India''s Military Ideal.

IF the Daily Chronicle is to be believed, India's military effort in the coming months will be concentrated on the giving of a numerical superiority to General Allenby in Palestine. "In the present situation on the western front," it writes, "white troops can ill be spared for Turkey, but the country is in every way suitable for Indians. This has been realised by both the British and Indian Governments during the past two years. The military ideal that India ought to set before her now is that of being able to account for and overcoming resources of the Turkish Empire." Between this definition of India's military ideal and the implication of the Viceroy's statement in his reply in the Premier's message that the people of India would do everything to defend the soil of the Motherland, there is, of course, a very wide gulf.
