My ideas as to withdrawal of troops from Birjand to Sarhad where they
are needed, and those at Neh to Bandan as soon as levies can take over line
are being invited by General Officer Commanding, Kacka.
I believe levy corps can almost take over sole charge of this province
when more officers arrive. I propose to offer to relieve Biriaud detachment
at once.
On my proposals to recruit more Hazaras and also one hundred Bahluris
I would be glad to receive orders of Government of India (vide mv
telegram, dated the 31st May, No. 388 C). V 1
Hazara recruits would be quietly and individually enlisted through levies
now in corps.
We could let troops at Neh and Sistan withdraw entirely to Sarhad if mv
Consular Guard of 20 men from 106th Hazara Pioneers could be increased
to 100 men.

Your telegram, 411 C. of the 14th June.
If German Mission are dissatisfied with their treatment in Afghanistan,
they will very probably try to escape though I cannot say whether they are
returning to Persia. There is also the chance that they are being expelled by
the Amir.
Proposal to remove regular troops from cordon is in my opinion most
inopportune and Bussians will probably protest strongly especially as the first
troops to he relieved are those in immediate touch with them and are at
most probable point of German exit. Levies should not, I think, be left on
such an extended line without a stiffening of regulars, though I hesitate to
judge the former not having seen them.
Addressed Sistan, repeated Tehran.

Motazed, still has
some 4,000 men under arms. He is now appealing for money and demand is,
in my opinion, justifiable and reasonable. Pour weeks have elapsed since he
received £5,000 agreed to in your telegram 157 S. of 9th May and it is very
expedient to continue giving him evidence of our support and confidence
especially as Soulet’s attitude is still dubious. I recommend that a further
£5,000 of £20,000 destined for this purpose be sent to him at once to be
followed, as occasion demands, by further doles.
