The cover headlines name authorities and a prestigious addressee: 'Message to President Wilson' and 'Commander Wedgwood and Montagu on Indian Government'. The tell is the billing of a sitting US president and named British political figures, so their standing is borrowed for the home-rule case. ## Text on the object Original (English) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` BANDE MATARAM.
