Of) Peshawar, northwestern frontier key city and far-flung outpost of the British empire, remained inviolate today after two days' efforts by 10,000 raiding Afridi tribesmen to capture It. Although a mass attack by the Afrldls from beyond the Afghan border has never developed, British defenders, many of them native Indian troops, have beaten back the tribesmen in several important sallies. At least six Indian troopers have been killed In one action in the thickly wooded orchards of Hazar-khanl. Heaviest losses have been inflicted upon the raiders, who cut telegraph line's east and south out of the city, making. communication with the outside world difficult.
