at the beginning of the year.
On the 8th April the Fath-ul-Mulk took over Shiraz on behalf of the
Qawam, and all the Germans in Shiraz were arrested. Later on the German
party which had been expelled from Kerman arrived near Shiraz and were also
captured.^ When the new Qawam and the Soulet arrived in Shiraz, on the
24th April, there were 18 Germans, 30 Au^trians, 8 Turks, 12 Afghans, and
about 12 Indian prisoners there.
Soon after the removal of the Mukhbir-us-Sultaneh, in September 1915

young and inexperienced to take charge of such a turbulent province as
lars, and it was arranged by the Persian Government, in consultation with
is Majesty s Minister, that His Eoyal Highness Earman Farma (who had
been appointed Governor-General of Kerman) and Nasrat-us-Sultaneh should
change apponitments. Nasrat-us Sultaneh accordingly proceeded to Kerman
