Recruifcs did not, however, come in very rapidly and in a short time these
forcible enlistments of men began to cause much dissatisfaction and
in some places villages with standing crops were deserted on the news of the
approach of recruiting parties. If this however gave no general pleasure it
was the cause of much satisfaction to the officer commanding the troops who
is popularly supposed to have made no less than Ts. 20,000 through those selec
ted buying themselves off. The officer commanding the detachment at Bam
deserted having also collected a very respectable sum in the same manner.
Though officers of the South Persia Rifles (many of whom wished to resign
but were not permitted to do so), are somewhat disgusted when comparing their
present force with their former corps, there is no question that the new army
is a great advance on anything the Persians have as yet had in the outlvioi
provinces. " 0
Their number is supposed to be 2,000 men with officers but there are ac

The strength of the Eerman Headquarters is being recruited up to 1,000
men.
The Amnieh Department, under the Ministry of War, is commanded by a
Sultan in the Army. Its numbers are only 100 of whom 50 are cavalry but
its connection with the army no doubt assisted in keeping the roads quiet.
The Nizamieh or police is also being organized on lines which are an improve
ment on the past, but as the Governor-General has no control over it, and it
appears to have no connection with the Civil Administration, its formation is
likely to lead to friction.
Local Politics.
As noted last year the Democrat party began to obtain importance owing
to the support given them by
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Assad. Throughout the year this sup
port was continued and on the departure of
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Assad was replaced by that
of Hazi Fatnel-Mulk, the Einance Agent and of Naib Sarhang Mohamed Khan,
the officer commanding the troops. Both are, owing to their position, very
influential men and by their support gave as much, if not more, importance to
the Democrats than they had obtained from the support of the Governor-
General. The basis of the
Sardar
Leader of a tribe or a polity; also refers to a military rank or title given to a commander of an army or division.
Assad's action was the fact that the Demo
crat party is composed of those who were anti-British during the war, many of
them having assumed a pro-German position during the German occupation
and several of them having been deported by General Sykes. It was a natural
sequence of those events that, on the arrival of the Russian Soviet Consul,
the Democrat party received him with acclamation and provided him with a
fulcrum on which to commence work. The Bais-i-Kusum, as supporter of the
Democrats, became a constant visitor to the Russians and Eahimi, as already
stated, introduced members of the Democrat community to the Russian Con
sulate who thus became identified with the Democratic party and began to
subscribe to their funds.
