India is a later sufferer from floods, which have been
very severe in the Bombay Presidency. The city of Baroda was for some days completely isolated, and Ahmedabad has been grievously damaged. There has been some loss of life and thousands of people are homeless. At home the weather has been very uncertain until Bank Holiday, • when it seemed to make up its mind to rain steadily in most parts of the country. While holiday-makers earned • the right to grumble themselves and received the sympathy of everyone else, rJet us say that those who deserved the best holiday -weather and the most sympathy in the rain are those ,,who -are- spending their holidays in the most patriotic manner ;- they are the Territorials who have been in -camp and doing their exercises in various parts of the country• and sleeping under canvas.
