RELIGIOUS WAR
ENMITY AMONG INDIAN TRIBKS.
TROUBLE ON THE FRONTIER
Delhi, April 17
During the week-end a gathering of 1000 Sunni tribesmen on the northwest frontier decided on a religious war and an advance against the Shiah tribe with whom they have been at enmity for a hundred years. The Orakzai tribesmen offered to co-opcr-ate with the Sunnis.
At present there is no indication that the Sunnis will invade British territory, but it is asumed that ;.n incursion is feared as a coloumn of British-Indian troops at Kohat is standing by.—Australian Press Association.
