Afghanistan. There is also much talk that Great Britain will soon
find herself confronted by Russia, Italy and Japan as well as
Germany, c. f. Bushire telegram No. T. 247 , 18th September. There are
also reports of Amanullah*s imminent return to Afghanistan by air
from Russia or elsewhere.

appropriate limits within which publicity could be given to it. We

Representatives elsewhere can be relied on to inform us at once by
telegram repeating to Kabul, if any information reaches them in
regard to Agianullab’s movements. If there are not already standing
