MANY SLAIN IN
NATIVE REVOLT
IN AFCHANlSTAN
By AUGUsTE GIRARD
limited Press Special Correspondent

KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. T.
More than 1000 rebels have been
killed during the recent insurrectlon
in Afghanistan, it was announced
today.
The positions of the rebel tribes
men were bombarded by airplanes
from time to time and the rebels
dispersed.
Important operations to encircls
the rebels were continuing today.
The revolt of the Shinwaris was
caused bv the fanatiscism of mullahs
or priests hostile to King Amanul-
lah 5 reforms. They claimed his or
ders were contrary to the spirit OF
Islam and the commands of the
Koran. When the King persisted IN
enforcing the reforms, he melted
the tribCsmen to revolt.
At the outset the government
tried persuasion but finally was
forced to send three regiments to
the region of Jellalabad, where the
Shinwaris set fire to building.
Three important rebel centers
were captured by the government.
Editors Note The above is the
first direct dispatch from Kabul
during the present insurrection. 1t
was filed by Girard, professor in
the French school at Kabul.
The Shinwari tribe has been in
revolt along the eastern frontier,
bordering on India, because of the
modernization program, including
dress reform laws, instituted by
King AmanulIah Of Atghanistan.

by offering definite mileage guarantee.

As tires improved in quality the whole

background and finally rejected By
