THE AFGHAN BOTHER.

SIMLA, May 21, Reuter's special correspondent at Feshawar saya- it is impossible to ascertain definitely the fate of the Amir's brother, Nasr Ullah. Frontier opinion inclines to the belief that he died a few days after the new Amir's accession. The Afridis. believe he is still alive. As stated the other day, the Amir sent for Nasr Ullah and offered bim the throne, saying he himself was going to fight at Khyber in the uniform of a common soldier. Nasr Ulah refused on the ground that Inayat Ullah the late Amir's eldest son, should have been offered this. Nasr Ullah was in command of the Khost army.

Another successful raid was carried out yesterday. Quiet methodical plans are made to continue the war Miles of laden camels and bullock carts are now passing through the Khyber pass, in addition to motor convors. Despatch riders are pre senting a wonderful and romantic sight. There are snipers in the. Bazaar valley but they fear to approach the pass.
