situation here which has reacted on our relations with the Khans, rather than the
attitude of the Khans which has affected politics in the capital, and there is always the
possibility, though I hope it is a remote one, that in a fit of childish vexation the Khans
may allow their relatives in the South to listen to the temptings of German agents, or
just conceivably may commit the crowning folly of opposing the Kussians. A few of
them, notably the sons of Amir i-Mufakin, have actually- lent sowars to the enemy, but
the tribe as a whole is in no way involved, and I have succeeded in convincing
General Baratof that this is the case. As general in charge of the Bussian operations
he has, however, to be more than watchful, and the Bakhtiaris being aware of this are
equally suspicious, and I fear that it will be very difficult to induce them to abandon
their present attitude of cold distrust. So far they have taken no step which we can
hold to be unfriendly, but on the other hand their undertaking by the recently signed
agreement to take action against enemy agents has been a dead letter, and I fear is
likely to remain so.
I have, &c.
