ALLAHABAD, India, March 5.—The Pioneer reports that there was “slight trouble recently” among the 14th Sikhs and the 19th Punjabis at Jullunder. Both these regiments have excellent war records. The newspaper says the trouble began when two Sikhs donned Gandhi caps and were punished. Six others offended similarly, after which twenty of the Sikhs deserted. One Punjabi company went on a hunger strike, but the trouble, according to the Pioneer, has subsided. Both regiments were about to go on service overseas. It Is said the men recently came under the influence of agitators.
