OUR FRONTIER WARS. DIFFICULT POSITION ON THE AFGHAN BORDER,

Major-General Sir F. Maurice in a very informative article printed in the Daily News, describes the difßenle and dangerous situation which exists on the North West Frontier of India. He writes as follows:

On another occasion single tribesman bad one evening settled bimself down with. bis rifle, pipe, and a packet of am- munition on the top of an almost inacces. sible crag and proceeded in the intervals of smoking and chanting curses and de tance to shoot into our bivouaca. As his attentions became unpleasant it was pro- THE posed to send a small party out to chase him away, and a Pathan native officer, bearing of the suggestion, volunteered to go out with two men. He returned in remarkably sbort time with the man's rific and kaife, and when asked how it was he had been so quick he answered,

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM There have been those who have ad- vocated that we should advance our ad- ministrative frontier to the borders of Afghanistan, and bring these tzidentzen. definitely under our rule, try to civilise end to the messity and so put them, for continually sending expeditions into the mountains

This would not only be a very costly and difficult task, but it would leave us when it was accomplished, very much where we started. It would entail the construction of numerous roads through the Himalayas, connected with our rail- ways. We should not only have to pro tect the labourers while at work, but to construct chains of forts, such as we have. in the Khyber Pass, to enable us to keep. the roads in repair.

Our task completed, we should be in direct touch with the wild tribesmen of the Southern Afghan" border, who would treat our frontier very much as

tribesmen pay attention to orders from Kabul only when it suits them, but if they got into trouble with us, they would certainly appeal to the Ameer, who could only disregard their call at the risk of his lifo.

The objection to the so-called “forward, is that no one can foresee policy whither it would lead us or where it would end Having decided, and rightly decided, upon the backward policy of leaving these unruly neighbours of ours practically in dependent, we must accept the conse We bave to protect those who Guences do wisireto live a life of law and order, and therefore to exact pains and penal ties when the tribesmen break loos

NEED OF TRAINED MEN

The reverse inflicted on our troops is clearly due to the fact that we have had to recreate a regular Army since the armistice. It was possible during the war to systematise. so that in threining in trench warfare or four months a man was able to take his place in the ranks at the front. But it is not possible to give a man quickly the muscles and wind to enable him to cope with active moun taineers in their own country, or to teach bim mountain craft, without which be makes mistakes, which leave hith an easy victim to the tribesmen of the frontiera..
