Please refer to my telegram No. 32 C.
^ to his telegram the Russian Consul-General has been told that
it would be a good thing that Russian troops should be used to support
Persian officials in securing the arrest of the German parties. The Russian
Consul-General is not satisfied with the reply received from his Government
and wants definite orders authorising, him to employ Cossacks to arrest party.
Latest idea which has struck the Governor-General is that they will be able to
secure the disarmament of the Germans by persuasion and that resort to force-
will not be necessary. I have sent a private warning to the Deputy Governor
of Herat, (who has in many instances prevented suspicious characters from
entering into Afghanistan and turned away others) telling him that the
Germans may possibly try to enter Afghanistan; he has accordingly issued,
orders that a careful watch must be kept and that no foreigners should be
permitted to cross the frontier.
Sent to Tehran; repeated to His Britannic Majesty’s Consul,. Sistan, and
the Agent to the Governor-General in Baluchistan.

I have addressed the following to Birjand and repeated it to Tehran and
Baluchistan:—
