THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1929 EYESOFWORLD PONARGANISTAN Dramatic Struggles Closely 'Government LORY a a Delp: India, Feb. 3. rp As a ram scene of bloodshed and in- trigue. Strugsles in Afghanistan are of d-wide interest, But for the ples of the British Empire the happenings in the wild, moun- tainous country north of India may be fraught with deep political sig- nificance. Afghans have been reput- ed a proud, cruel and treacherous race and their country in itself is, generally speaking, behind the times. Accurate census and registra- tion is unknown there; govern- ments have rarely heen able to ob- tain sufficient revenue to maintain roper public services, unless the in hand was applied; the tribes. men are mainly either fighters or tillers of the soil, and because of racial and geographical differences trouble is bréwing all the time, But Afghanistan is from the Bri- tish viewpoint an invaluable buffer state between far-spreading Soviet Russia and India, Ninety years ago the British first entered Afghanis: tan to place on the throne an Amir who had sought refuge in India. Since then there have been a num- ber of armed outbreaks between Af- ghanistan and India, When in 1842 the British forces retreated from Kabul to India, out of 4,200 men, European and Indian, but one sur- vivor reached Jalalabad at the head of Kyher Pass, the remainder ex- cepting a hundred prisoners, having been massacred by the revolting AJ- ghans, Retaliation was swift, the Had Terri le Trouble With an Aching Back Ontario Lady used Dodd's Kidney Pills Mrs, C, Mason Gladly Recommends A Podd's Kidney Pills London, Ont., Feb, 20. (Special) «If we could show you the actual proofs, results attained in thoun- sands of cases suffering from Kid- ney Trouble, Rheumatism, Back- ache, ete, it would convince you thet Dodd's Kidney Pills are an excellent kidney remedy. One more tribute showing the efficacy of Dodd's Kidney Pills comes from Mrs, C. Mason, 723 Queens Ave, London, Ont, She writes:--"A few ears ago I had trouble with my idneys, A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, which I did and they surely relieved me, I would gladly recommend them to anyone, I had terrible trouble with my back aching, Bix boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills relieved me." Other sufferers of backache tell of pains relieved and health restor- ed through the use of Dodds Kid- ney Pills. They act directly on the Kidneys, They strengthen the kid- neys and put them in shape to strain the inrpurities out of the blood. British gaining a firm hand on the country and destroying a large part of Kabul, They thdrew. Watches y Since then the Indian vern- ment has watched the Northwest frontier with an anxious eye. In 1878 Russian influence and mili- tary penetration resulted in a Bri» tish envoy being turned back at the Afghanistan border and a se- '|cond war was Precipitated, ending in 1880, Twice in that period when settlements seemed to have been reached trouble broke out afresh. On the first occasion the newly-in- stituted British envoy at the court of Kabul was murdered; on the second the treaty-making British and Afghans at Kabul were menac- ed by a revolting leader. The latest uprising was in 1919, in which none other than Amanul- lah, he of the forward vision and rash impatience, figured, From 1901 to 1919 Amanullah's father, Habibullah Khan, had reigned, and his rule was the wisest and firmest Afghanistan experienced in modern times, Obtaining from the British a promise of non-intervention, Ha- bibullah on his part kept his coun try comparatively quiet and held the different warlike tribes in check throughout the war period, 1914-1918, wehn aggression from Afghanistan would have particu- larly troubled the depleted British forces in India, despite German and Turkish overturés and the menace of a religious war (the Afghans be- ing chiefly Mohammedans like the Turks) Habibullah maintained scru- pulus neutrality and to that extent proved a greatly reassuring friend of Britain. And in the last year of the war he maintained an equally firm and correct front to the Bol- shevist propaganda. But in 1919 Habibullah was bru- tally murdercd, as a number of his predecessors had heen, and follow- ing customs the song for some time disputed the succession among themselves, These disputes in' the Afghan royal family-- the Durant dynasty -- have often resulted in much bloodshed but on this partic- ular occasion Inayatullah, Habib- ullah's eldest gon, yielded to Am- anullah, Amanullah immediately announced his complete indepen- dence, Previously the British and Afghans had a pact whereby Af- ghanistan followed Britain's advice in external - affairs while the Bri- tish kept scrupulously away from domestic matters, But Amanullah light-heartedly embarked on an in- vasion of India in May, 1919, The border tribes failed to give him the support he expected and his troops were thrust back into their own territory by the British-Indian garrisons, Amanullah. pleading that in his youth and inexperen-e he had been misled, sought and obtain. ed a guarantee of peace from the British Government, New Treaty In 1921 a new treaty was signed recognizing the complete indep-n- dence of Afghanistan and a British minister, Sir Francis Humphreys, was appointed to Kabul, Amanullah from 1921 gaye his progressive ideas a free rein, He is- sued a new code of legal proce- dure; effected many administrative changes and introduced further re- forms whieh irritated the Moslems to a serious insurre-tion in 1924, not suppressed until 60 leading ine surgents were publicly executed in Kabul, In 1926 the Amir, to mark BATTERYLESS "POUR - HUNDRED LOWBOY Single Tuning Knob operates Illuminated Drum Dial, = Automatic ' Voltage Control, Rogers Output Filter, Phonograph "Plug-in" Jack.

W,, Montreal his international status, took the title of King and in December, 1927 started on his celebrated foreign tour completed in July, 1928, Dur- ing this tour King Amanullah, who throughout appeared with Queen Souriya in European dress. became more and more convinced that even greater reforms were needed in his kingdom, So when he returned he attempted to remodel his semi-bar- baric people, divided into warlike clans, on lines of western European civilzation, ' Amanullah would have had his subjects wear European dress; he would abolish the purdah, whereby Afghan women had hcen veiled for centuries; he wanted to change the systems of tribal administration; introduce education, which for hup- dreds of years hag been confined to "practical subjects" like fighting and horseback riding; and in short, in face of earnest British advice, attempted to thrust upon his peo- ple a foreign diet against whien they ultimately rebelled. When the revolt came late last year Amanullah lost gontrol of his troops, who were disaffected be- cause of under-payment and gen- erally dissatisfied with their trert- ment, Things got so bad that he turned the throne over to his bro- ther Inavatullah and fled to the comparative security of Kandahar. whr-re his tribal affiliations were strongest, and where the Queen and 'Queen-mother had been sent pre- viovsly. But the aroused Afghans spurred on by their leaders and par- ticnlarly by one Bachao Sarhao, a water-carrier's son and bandit lead- er covld not tolerate even the more con=ervative Inayatvllah, whose reien lasted only a few dave Bachao succeeded in capturing Ka- bul, de"lered himgelf Amir with the name Habibul'ah Khan (the same as Amanullah's fath-r) and promps- Iv set abont endeavoring to govern the state.

The royal brothers issued proclamations that they were still the rightful rulers, and ' Afghan agents abroad were embarrased by receiving three different sets of in- structions from as many govern- ments back home. Meanwhile Ba- chao instituted a strong-man re- gime. Refugees brought out by Bri- tish aeroplanes reported in Febru- ary that he had foreibly married three girls of the Afghan royal family. So far as British India is con- cerned, things will be much the same no matter who gains the throne, But the Afghans are on the warpath and their brothers on the Indian side of the North-west Fron- tier-are in a ferment that threat- Is Your Child Thin and Weak?
