ment, Delhi. ^
. Gle . ar Me Little progress is being made to improve the situation
owing to divisions in Cabinet. Government is unwilling to take any action
itself and professedly in order to give them time to bring pressure on mutinous
gendarmerie at Hamadan are imploring Russian Minister not to allow troops
to march on that town and reinstate Consul there. Russian Commander
whose preparations ? do not seem to be quite finished has agreed to stand for a
time strictly on defensive and this concession encourages Government to ask
troops stationed on Hamadan road be withdrawn to Kasvin. To agree to such
a suggestion would be to furnish proof of statements circulated by Germans
that numbers of Russian troops are really far below what we believe and will
enable Germans considerably to increase their levies not only at Hamadan
but also in Kurdistan and at Sultanbad, Kum Kermanshah, Ispahan. There
are already said to be at Hamadan eight thousand Mujahidin and three
thousand gendermes.
It therefore appears imperative that decisive blow should be struck as
soon as possible and this where enemy is in greatest force, viz., at Hamadan.
My Russian colleague entirely agrees with me.
Sent to India, Petrograd ; addressed to Foreign Office.
