A BROKEN KINGDOM
AFGHAN TRIBES FALLING AWAY KABUL A DEAD CITY British Official Wireless Reed. 9 a.m. LONDON, Monday. The Moscow correspondent of the “Daily News" states that the disintegration of Afghanistan proceeds apace. Owing to the majority of his regulars joining Baechasakao, Ahmed Ali’s army, which was formerly threatening Kabul, has become dissipated and is unable to repulse the attacks of the Mohmauds. Strong separatist movements prevail among the important southeastern tribes, who have declared their independence. Only Kabul and Charikar maintain allegiance to Bacchasakao. Kabul is a dead city. Banditism is growing, and the food crisis is acute. The Constantinople correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says 50 Afghan officers, who have had military training in Turkey, have left to rejoin ex-King Amanullah.
