GREAT CLASH IMMINENT
NADIR KHAN ADVANCES ON KABUL REBEL KING CHALLENGED (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) DELHI, Wednesday. A fierce battle is imminent between the forces of Bacchasakas —- who calls himself Habibullah Ghazi since he usurped the throne of Afghanistan—and General Nadir Khan. Having failed in an attempt to bribe Nadir, Bacchasakas boldly sent an army to meet him, leaving the capital, Kabul, practically undefended. Nadir determined to fight the rebel king and to enter the capital. He is now advancing with a force of 6,000 men. Nadir has the support of his brother Shah Mahmud. There is a possibility of the brothers launching frontal and flank attacks in order to cut off Bacchasakas’s retreat to Kabul.
