Afghan King Building Strong Army
To Keep Order and Danish Intrigues

PESHAWAR-Nadir Khan, King Of
Afghanistan, believes in preparedness.
According to local officials here, in
communication with the diplomats at
Kabul, the Khan has announced his
intention OF building up a strong mod
ern army, fully equipped with the latest
Western armament to total 10000 men.
In addition he has already opened
a number of reserve corps for military
training Of peasants and nomads and
it is his ultimate intention to bring
the force of this unit to $4,000 men,.
Kabuls ancient Notifications have
been considerably strengthened and
under the advice of French and Ger
man military experts new garrisons
are being established at various stra-
tegic points on the frontiers.
In addition to the guns and NUM-
tons supplied from the royal arsenals,
the Khan has placed large orders with
European manufacturers, the first Of
which have now begun to arrive. Re-
Gently an entire trainload of French
munitions was brought to Peshawar,
on the way to Kabul.
It consisted chiefly of 10000 long
range rifles of the latest type and
100000 cartridges, valued at $3.50, 900.
The arms are now being conveyed
through the Khyber Pass, heavily
guarded, on ox-drawn carts. Two hun
dred and forty carts were required.
This is the biggest shipment of arms
ever to enter Afghanistan and indicates

John Bulls Food Habits Changed
