His statement follows: "At the outbreak of the European war the Hindu leaders and the local perman consulate and attaches of the imperial German government came to gether and immediately began to form plans to carry out a conspiracy .to in cite rebellion in India for the two fold purpose of attempting to free India and to aid -the Germans in their military operations. "A campaign among Hindus on the Pacific coast was made and a registra tion was procured of those who were willing to take part in, the, revolution. Emissaries were financed by the Ger man agents here. "Soon thereafter what is known as the India committee, an adjunct to the German foreign office, Berlin, con sisting of 7 orj prominent Hindus, had gathered there in contemplation of war.

JJuring the previous aerial t-murdering excursion the enemy planes were al most invisible in the heavens. Today they were plainly visible when they descended for the bomb-dropping over London. ' Of the 20 machines which ,partici pated in the raid only 13 returned to Germany.

A second patrol squadron drove a second Boche down, flaming from in cendiary shells. Another was forced to land on the beach at Ostend. Forty miles off the British coast some British air-fighters met the en emy retiring. High in the air, above the sea. and the coast line, the two squadrons battled, wheeling, twisting and turning.
