and Kain,
To—The Foreign Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political
Department, Simla.
Please refer to my telegram No. 16 P. Karguzar was my informant
and 1 have learnt that Deputy Governor had received same news. It appears
however from later report(s) that Germans were only met hy one or two
sowars, who are accompanying German party to Herat. My own messenger
has not returned up to the present. I am told that an old and large house
has been put into a state of repair there, in which Germans will possibly be
interned though styled guests nominally.

Telegram P., No. 107, dated the 27th (received 28th) August 1915.
From—His Britannic Majesty's Minister, Tehran,
To—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political Depart
ment, Simla.
Seyyid Mohsin. Please refer to your telegram No. 84. Legation at once
took up matter with Monsieur Heynssens, then Acting Treasurer-General, when
Mohsin was appointed. Another brother was sent to Yezd. Exception was
also taken by us to his appointment. If we insisted, H. was ready to cancel
both appointments, hut he gave my predecessor an assurance that they were
quite reliable men and were no longer connected with Germans in any way.
Our objections were, therefore, withdrawn, hut we reserved right to
demand instantaneous removal of Mohsin and his brother if we heard anything
to their detriment.
In view of your telegram, as soon as suitable officer can be found to
replace him I will obtain removal of Seyyid.
Mohsin’s father was formerly Munshi to the German Legation but at
present plays no role.
Addressed to Birjand.

Please refer to your telegram No. 857 S., dated the 21st instant. Hazaras
will be under the immediate command of retired Jemadars ranking as Subadars
and will be armed with sword, bayonets and Martini-Henry rifles. I regret
to say that it is impossible to keep proportion of rank, as retired sepoys are not
available here as they go to work on the Merv railway. Party recently
