There appear to be signs here that pro-Turldsh movement is losing ground.
Arrival of very influential and important member of clergy from” Kerbala
has resulted in confirmation of rumours, previously received, of Turkish exac

beginning to learn extent of Turkish exactions at Tabriz. Movement on
Kermansnah frontier is likely further to check enthusiasm for Turkish-

telegraph, that Turkish troops should not cross the frontier.
Addressed to Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; repeated to India and
