INDIAN UNREST
TRIBAL OUTBREAK ON FRONTIER. Delhi, June 12. The revival of tribal unrest on the North Indian frontier near Peshawur was success fully quelled by a bombing operation of the Royal Air Force raiding tribesmen 1500 strong. From North Kabul River they crossed the frontier and attacked Mahmand forts held by tribes friendly to Britain. Nineteen planes made attacks during four days on hostile tribes, inflicting many casualties and creating an excellent moral effect. All machines returned safely. The achievement is regarded as magnificent, in view of the fact that the temperature was over 110. This was the first attack in eight years on frontier posts in the Peshawur district.—A. and N.Z.
