impose strongest terms on the 30th or 1st. But it is still necessary to occupy
Khwash strongly until Sarhaddi Sardars have settled down. I consider
Khwash to be the true heart of the Sarhaddi country and operations very
simple in (any ?) direction from there. Propose making a temporary field
fortification at Khwash where there is ample supply of good water. I must
myself go there again.

More forces can be accumulated by the Sarhaddis than I anticipated, and

Shiraz situation.
It seems clear that by some means Persian Government’s telegrams to
Shiraz have not been delivered to Kawam and Soulet who have been, therefore,
in some doubt as to what course to pursue. However, after some hesitation
they finally decided on strong action, upon that two of late Kawam’s servants
were executed after trial May 1st and further trials were to take place to-day.
Probably Angmann will be among accused, but it is believed that he will not
be executed.
I am taking steps to ensure delivery of Persian Government’s telegrams
in future.
Persian Government is very nervous, lest nomination of Kawam, as
Acting Governor-General, pending arrival of Governor-General, should arouse
Soulet’s jealousy and alienate him. They have, therefore, without giving
Kawam title of Acting Governor, made him responsible for state of Shiraz
until arrival of Governor-General, and latter’s Deputy, who should reach
Shiraz very shortly, has been instructed to take no action except with
Kawara’s assent.
German prisoners at Abadeh are to be brought to Tehran and kept in
confinement till end of war. ,
Addressed to Foreign Office; repeated to Bushire, Basrah and Sir Percy
Sykes.
