Telegram R. } No. 388 F., dated the 16th (received 17th) May 1916.
From—His Britannic Majesty's Minister, Tehran,
To The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart-
ment, Simla.
My telegram No. 323. Earman Parma is much disappointed Sykes is to
go first to Kerman and he now urges that some British officers should be sent
at once to Shiraz to organise military police there so as to enable him to take
action against rebellious Khans as soon as season permits. Such officers
could take over existing loyal gendermerie whom Earman Earma is convinced
will be perfectly trustworthy. I agree with him as to urgency of sending
officers and for additional reason that without their presence Earman larma
will use gendermerie as instrumental in his own rapacity.
Cannot some of officers left by Sykes at Bunder Abbas proceed by
quickest route to Shiraz ?
( Very confidential )
Earman Earma has a personal dislike for Merrill and should not be
among officers sent.
Addressed Eoreign Office; repeated Basrah and Bushire.

From—His Britannic Majesty's Consul for Sis tan and Kain,
T 0 The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla.
Your telegram No. 56 S. of the 14th April. I recommend Mr. P. E.
Dormer for temporary commission. He took over charge of levies at Dehaneh
Bao-hi on April 27th, 1916, from Major Heron. He was also engaged in
fighting at Leradik on April 13th and is doing very good work.
The telegraph officer at Neh, who comes from India, has no knowledge of
Persian and cannot assist much even in intelligence work. I cannot recom
mend him at present.
Director, Persian Telegraph at Tehran, urges that military signallers
should be attached to detachments, and does not appear to be in favour of his
officers receiving military rank or performing duties outside their proper
sphere.
I hope that commission can be given in special case of Mr. Dormer.
