BIG STRUGGLE COMING
SUPPORT FOR AMANULLAH
A RIVAL AT MOSCOW
United I'rcss AssociaO-i—By Electric Telegraph- Copyright. (Received 25th January, 11 a.m.) DELHI, 24th January. Inayatullah has arrived at Kandahar and has joined Amanullah, who has again hoisted his standard at the Royal Palace. He is daily gaining support from tho Duranis, a courageous and patriotic people, who can raise a force of 300,000 fully armed men. Ainanullah and Inayatullah will attempt to recapture tho Throne from Baccha Sakav. Tho attitude of the Ghilzais is still uncertain. Nadir Khan, mentioned yesterday as being a likely candidate for the Afghan Throne, is reported to have arrived at Moscow, possibly to seek Soviet aid in his bid for the Throne, but powerful tribes will oppose foreign intervention. A big gathering of Afridis, Shinwaris, Orakzais, and Mohmands is being held at Dakka to prepare jointly to carry on a holy war against Baccha Sakav, whom they regard as a usurper.
