their country eventually is dragged into war they will have to follow. May
I commence entertaining sowars and riflemen up to two hundred from tribes
which I consider most trustworthy and inform their Sardars at once that
British liovernment will safeguard them and levies whom they supply to us
from Persian Government’s anger ? As latter are permitting Germans freely
to entertain Persians against us it does not seem that Persian Government can
object though local authorities may do so.

Your telegram of the 12th (10th ?) November, 27-D. S.
In the view(s) (that ?) negotiations on the lines suggested is undesirable
I cannot concur. Knowledge that our friends will stand by us and that we
are acquiring new friend(s) will on the contrary influence Persian Government
more favourably towards us.
Germans are making great effort(s) to bring about movement in many
parts of the country in their favour but until Persian Government has taken a

troops has roused whole of Persia against us. To prevent that impression
being made we must do what we can.
I would urge negotiations be entered on,
