THE FAR EAST.
IXDIAX FROXTIKR UXRF.ST. [Australia & N.Z. Cable Association | DELHI, June 12. A revival of tribal unrest on the Xorth Indian frontier near Peshawar was successfully quelled by Bombay operations of the Royal air force. Raiding tribesmen fifteen hundred strong from North Kabul River crossed the frontier and attacked Alahniand forts, held by tribes friendly to Britain. Nineteen planes made attacks during four days on the hostile tribes, inflicting many casualties, and creating an excellent moral effect. All the 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 Peshawar district.
