AFGHAN MAIN OFFENSIVE IS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING Attacks Against Thai Successfully Repulsed by British- Enemy Killed or Prisoners in One Engagement. -500 of London, June 1. â€" The Afghan main offensive againBt Thai, under Gen. Na- dir Khan, the Amir's commander-in- chief, is (ieveloping. The latest offi- cial information from Simla, received on Many 2!) and 30, shows tliat all at- tacks on Fort Thai have been re- pulsed. The fort was bombarded throughout Wednesday last, and the Afghans occupied the looted base out- side the fort. Air reconnaisance dis- closed about 3,500 of the enemy near. Their camps were effectively bombed. At the capture of the Afglian port Dalkop, opposite Chaman Bahu-hivan, the British took 161) prsoners and killed 320 of the enemy. The British occupy the fort. Smart work was dis- played at the assault and capture. The guns made breaclies in the walls, and the fort was finally reduced by a Hank- ing assault. The garrison fought bravely, ))ut for the most part, was killed or captured. It was the strong- est fort in Afghanstan, having thick outer walls and bombproof shelters. Its fall has had a good effect in Kanila- Uar and along the Chaman frontier, as showing the effect of high explo- sive shells. Three British airplanes have drop- ped b()ml)s on Kabul, capital of Af- ghanistan, and ,I('lalabad, the Indian office announces. The airplanes also have attacked formations of Afghan troops.

The President spol.e in reply to bitter protests of smaller nations against clauses in the peace treaty with Austria designed to safeguard the minorities in the newly-created republics. Roumania's representatives char- acterized these clauses as "violation of sovereignty designed to keep awake the spir.it of rebellion." The NC-4, making a dashing finish, swept quickly landward and settled down on the waters of the harbor to the accompaniment of cheers from the crowds and salvos from all the steam craft within sight â€" her mem- orable transatlantic trip ended. The seaplane left Ferrol at 2.27 o'clock, Washington time, and made the distance of approximately .500 miles to this port in six hours, Bd minutes, or at the rate of nearly 72 miles an hour.

Hawker expressed his delight at the finding of the ma- chine. "It's recovery," he said, "will be of the greatest value. On it art many records which will be of great a.ssistance. Some "appliances of most delicate consti'uction and adjustment are attached to the machine, and thest we hope will give first class informa« tion for future flights." THE WOMAN'S WORK.
