, x British troops have occupied most of the district
between Khanikm and Shahar Zabar 25 miles west of Kermanshah
where they are now halted. On receint of instructions to
cease resistpce yesterday morning, August 29th Persian
military authorities sent envoys to arrange terms of
surrender and yesterday evening General Officer Commanding
British cropps arranged that on August 30th Kermanshah town
and strategic points would be taken over: by that date all
Persian troops except 200 would need to evacuate Kermanshah.
Situation quiet ? the majority of the population views
the prospect of British occupation of this district with
resignation but also with some hope that improvements in
local conditions will be thereby brought about somehow.
Pro-German feeling had rapidly diminished during the
past few days and that Shah's decision to cease hostilities
is^welcomed in so far as it holds out prospects of men
being released from military service which is most
unpopular [5 groups undcc.].
