Tho latter class is the aristocracy o£ Afghanistan. The Pajics are a subject race in Afghanistan, mad«> up of clerks, toilers of the soil and laborers.

It was reported tLat the position: of the new ruler was growing gra\ e and that General Naider Khan, prominent Afghanistan leader, was enroute from Moscow to Kandahar i n Southern Afghanistan to aid Amanullah, former ruler, in a cam- paign to regain his throne. iff! *-„•..' ---I , i H I i : I ; \5 I |i M
