VILLAGE IN FLAMES
WHERE AFGHAN TRIBES PLANNED TO MEET AMANULLAH’S FUTURE (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 11.34 a.m. DELHI, Friday. □ akka, a small town at the end of the Khyber Pass, 45 miles from Peshawar, was totally destroyed by fire by the Mohmands. No significance is attached to the incident, though the place had been selected for the tribal gathering mentioned yesterday. Heavy snow is preventing the tribesmen from reaching Dakka. Kabul is snow-bound aud the airdrome is thickly covered, rendering the rescue of the members of the legation staff difficult should a serious situation again develop. Ex-King Amanullah is formulating plans to advance on Kabul early in the spring. In Kabul all business is at a standstill. The Shinwaris have openly announced that they will not accept him as King. Five Afghan princes who were arrested and placed in gaol at Allahabad are on a hunger strike.
