(Recd. March 25, 8 a.m.) DELHI, March 23.
Fighting has begun in Afghanistan. Amanullah is making a determined bid for the throne and sent a big force with six guns from Kandahar to Kealti Gilzai ,a town seventy miles from Kabul. En route they clashed with tribesmen in the Molsur district. There were heavy casualties on both sides. Adul Ali, brother of the ex-Governor of Kabul, is raising two thousand troops to support Amanullah. The Shinwaris, who are against Amanullah, are threatening an attack on Dacca and Lalpura. Amanullah’s planes are dropping leaflets in Kabul urging citizens to eject Bacchasakau. The opinion is generalljr expressed that unless some strong leader appears, the country will immediately be plunged into civil war.
