Secret. Persia. Please refer to your telegram of 8th instant.
We have impressed on Mr. Marling the importance of keeping Germans
out of Afghanistan which is fully appreciated by us. Mr. Marling is being
instructed that when he is of opinion only military intervention can effect that
purpose he should telegraph direct to you. You can then act at once and
report to me the action taken. Mr. Marling in the meantime should be kept
posted with full particulars.

From—The Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign and Political
Department, Simla,
To—His Britannic Majesty's Consul for Sistan and Kain (repeated to Tehran
Baluchistan and Meshed).
Clear the line. Please refer to your telegram of 8th July, 100 G.
The Government of India could spare from Kacha 300 rifles, but before
orders to this effect are issued, they wish to have a definite statement of your
opinion, whether, if with the force we anticipate Germans in Sistan, they
will be nnahle to raise formidable faction against us or collect adherents.
If by the despatch of troops from Kacha it is possible to overawe hostile faction
and to intercept German parties, well and good. But it would be foilv to
despatch this small force if it is likely merely to excite hostile faction and
possibly to become entangled in difficult position without effecting its purpose.
The Government of India would like to have your definite opinion ur^entlv
