Telegram P., No. 179—887-G., dated the 10th (received llth) October 1919.
From— Colonel Oeton, Shiraz,
To—The Chief of the General Staff, Simla (repeated Tehran and Bushire).
ment^Consul, Stoat ° f ^ ^ and PoKtical De P art '
l am in agreement with Political Officers that Zair Khidar and Sheikh
Hussain constitute a menace to the safety of the road between Kazerun and
Bushire and that the early withdrawal of Indian troops without defeat or the
surrender of these two chiefs would soon he followed hy serious trouble alone
that .stretch of road. The Ispahan operations delayed South Persia Rifles
training. The security of Shiraz and also the charge of the roads from Shiraz
to Kazerun inclusive can be taken over by Pars Brigade, South Persia Rifles,
ibis is the utmost that can be excepted from South Persia Rifles at present
on toe supposition that there is no Kashgai hostility against us. This would
it necessary, enable the Indian troops at present at Shiraz and Kazerun to be
withdrawn south of Kazerun. It is beyond the capacity of South Persia Kifles
to undertake offensive operations against the above-mentioned chiefs in the
present circumstances. If the Indian troops can effectively deal with these
chiefs, South Persia Rifles could subsequently take over the road down to
.Borasjun inclusive. The Kashgai situation has not yet cleared : it is mainly
a political problem. I do not anticipate that Kashgais will make attacks
on us but inter-tribal trouble and fighting are possible when the migrating
tribes reach Garmsir next month. My information is that Kawam and
feoulat have recently come to terms and Soulat may shortly become the
in Kashgai affairs. The attitude of Soulat towards us is not
at ail hostile. South Persia Rifles could not undertake offensive operations
against any tribal combination of the Kasbgais.
