munication with Tehran through a Persian telegraph office on the question *
of the establishment of Bolshevik Consulates in Khorasan and the rehabilita

Agent, will not be sufficient to pay the rent of the house and the wages of an
office attendant.
On the 28th November a troop train with 500 men, three armoured cars
and one small gun passed Artik going east. Another conveying 11 armoured
cars goin 01 east w r as halted for two days at Qauvshut railway station between
Artik and Kaakhka. Different reports give the objective as Kokand and

demobilized troops eastwards completes the troops movement for the period of
report.
EhaHstar ,—December 1st.
The Bolsheviks are preparing to connect Kaakhka telephonically with
their frontier posts on the Persian border. Poles have been erected as far as

skilled operators.
