AMANULLAH'S CHANCES
DEPEND ON GHILZAIS
Australian Press Association. (Eeceivod 24th January, 3 p.m.) LONDON, 23rd January. Tho "Daily Telegraph's" special correspondent, telegraphing from. Peshawar, declares that the Ghilzai tribesmen hold the key to the situation in Afghanistan. Although Amanullah has officially renounced his abdication, there is small chance .of his entering Kabul unless the Ghilzais help him. They can put 200,000 fully armed men into the field. .. >. .-. In the past the Ghilzais have shown animosity to Amauullah, except wken. a foreign invasion appeared to be possible. To-day there is little likelihood of that and none can foretell the outcome Agreements to-day may ba broken to-morrow. Thero are so many, influences at work that to prophesy would be futile. Little change in the situation is expected for a week. The "Daily Telegraph's'V diploma* tic correspondent says that Amanullah's appeal to local tribesmen has not met with the cordial response anticipated. Little surprise would bo felt were Amanullah to throw up tho sponge soon. .
