From—The Secretary to the Government* of India in the Foreign and Political
Department, Delhi,
To—His Britannic Majesty's Consul for Sistan and'Kain.
(Repeated to Baluchistan.)
Opinion of War Committee is that most effective way of meeting German
activities isbyjcounter-activities of similar kind. They therefore wish that further
steps should be taken at once to recruit irregular forces in Sistan. Such forces
if led by active and enterprising officers and stiffened by cavalry now there
could in their opinion take offensive in detachments and hunt down Germans.
Please telegraph your views on following points
Would it be possible to increase the irregular force of Hazaras andSistani-
Baluchis already raised. What are the prospects of enlisting Sarhaddi-Balu-
chis whom it is proposed should be organised through Major Keyes ?
If proposed undertaking is feasible how many and wdiat kind of officers do
you consider necessary P Please also telegraph how many Hazaras and Baluchis
have been enlisted up to the present.
