A Red Invasion
Across the Afghan Frontier NOT A SERIOUS MENACE. RUSSIA STIRRING UP BORDER RACES. [By Cable-Preea Association—Copyright. (Received 29, 12.5 p.m.) London, Dec. 28. A Soviet invasion or Afghanistan is now in progress. It is not regarded as a serious menace, and it is thought that a small adjustment of the frontiers along tho river Oxus, dividing Bofcrhara and Afghan Badakshan, will settle the dispute. The Soviet’s policy is clearly to encourage nationalistic aspirations among the races along the northern boundaries of Afghanistan, which is acting as a buffer State between the Soviet controlled provinces and India. Britain is most friendly to the Amir Amanullah, to whom she recently presented two aeroplanes, of which the Amir is very proud.—(Joyuncy “Sun.”) cable). A FRONTIER ATTACK. Delhi, Dec. 27. Excitement prevails in Kabul owing to a Russian attack on the Afghan frontier guards at Badakshan, which is described as an unprovoked one. The Afghan commandant was killed and there were other casualties, but it is believed the affair was only of local significance, as Russia is at present anxious to cultivate friendly relations with Afghanistan.—(A. and N.Z-.)
