K S- sv i n cri as K ni S h1: re P° rt no Russians there or within
about 30 miles. Russians may now be at Zinian on which
they were advancing August 2Sth. There is therefore
some hope that British detachment from Kerman shah might
reach kasvm as soon as the Russians.- It would be
welcomed with open arms, as reported difference between
behaviour of our troops and of the Russians has
impressed Persian opinion strongly in our favour. This
is not entirely gain > since Persians will try to play us
off against the Russians or at least constantly apneal
to us to use our Influence with them,
2. There is no news of a Russian advance from
Caspian Sea ? v/here Pahlevi and Chains are understood
to be occupied by Russian de'tabhments.u
