Tie latest turn of the Kaleidoscope q British
fortune III AfghanStan has thrown a shade
over the cGl0Ts 80 brilliant az first glance A.
report, q the changed complexion OF affairs
come through British sources there Is no reason
10 doubt that the troops advanc-agint0 Afghan
lrtan have encountered the predicted difficulties
IN winter fighting with a native mOuntainol,
people, aud in maintaining their c0lnEnunica-
lions unbrOken. Some of the tribes which
welcomed the British have closed behind them.
and actual revcrses 10 the'advancln- column
would doubtless unite the frontier tribes in hos
tiliI!eo against the retreatine army. These
border 5avageS- split up into warning tribes have
no sentiment of nationality to hold them to-
@ether. but mean TO be found upon the winning
side. IL Is reasonable TO suppose that the leader
OF the khyber column, experienced in Indian
warfare, knew perfectly well that the treach-
ProuS boTderers would strike when his back
was turned, and after leading him far into
The pass. would make il almost impoS-
sibe to maintain communications through it,
or 90 retreat through it in case OF defeat
The small British force available for the pur
pose of Invasion has prevented the establish
ment OF a line OF military posts along the pass.
and IN the absence OF such precaution what has
happened must have been foreseen. 1t is there
tore suggested that the plan of invasion con-
templated the loss of communication through
this detile and the opening of a new line through
The Quettah column. Events Will soon show
whether or not this SuppoSitiOn is correct. The
unacCOuntable retreat of the Afghans, with
every appearance OF decentralization, at the
approach of the British, resembles a lure to
draw the enemy into trap. Ii remains TO be
seen whether the invaders have been really
deceived. In any event the chances seem to b.
that Tie British win not attempt 10 force mat
teTs until next spring. In accordance with his
policy. Lord BeacOnSfield has now committed
England TO war beyond the power of with
