INDIAN BORDER
TROUBLE LEAKED. (United Press dissociation—Bj Eloctrio Telegraph—Copyright). (Received this day at 10.30. a.m.) CALCUTTA, April 8. Frontier peace is jeopardised by Afghan' rivals appealing to tribes on the British side of the frontier to participate in their civil war. The first definite indication of trouble arrived four days ago. Hitherto British political officers have kept the tribesmen quiet, but one section of Afghans ne. tunlly addressed a firman to Mohmands and Afrids, while the opposing section circulated a similar ap|M?al to Waziris and Mahsuds. The political officers are vigorously pursuing these distributive agencies, which it unchecked, may produce considerable unrest in tintribal areas, leading to complications and the need for protective action. Afghan combatants drifting into India are promptly disarmed and the movements of Afghan traders uud officials into India are discouraged.
