MAIDAN-I-NAPHTUN,
[ 30th September, 1916.
Dear oir:-
D/0 POLITICAL .
In continuation of my letter of the 4th
instant, I am glad to he able to report the result of
the Khans T action against the Germans in Chahar Mahal.
It will he remembered that instead of leaving that part
t * of the country, as they had set out to do, the Germans
and their followers took up fresh quarters at Deh-Kurd
with the view of attaching Isfahan. The attach on the
town was planned to emanate from three directions, hut
the Germans had not much time for preparation, because
Muhtashem was following them to Deh-Kurd with about two
thousand men. So they fled into Isfahan territory.
The Bahhtiari force reached the Chahar Mahal boundary, .
and there tooh up a position in order to prevent a
retreat by the enemy into Bahhtiari country. However,
this did not deter the Germans from their planned attach
on Isfahan. It failed completely. The Russian force
in the town tooh them on, scattering them in all
directions and tahing some prisoners with whom they
i
dealt in their own fashion. From all accounts, unless
> the Turhs come to their aid, I do not thinh that many
of the Junior Khans will tahe up with glee any future
attach on Isfahan. Where the rebels went I do not know,
but they certainly did not get bach to Bahhtiari
country.
The General Manager,
Messrs*. Strich Scott & Company,
Mohammerah.
