CLAMOURING FOR BREAD.
BRITISHERS IN PERSIA
A DESPERATE SITUATION
By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright. (Received 'April 21, 8.45 a.m.) TEHERAN, April 20. Thousands of women and children at Tabriz are clamouring for bread. The British residents cabled to Sir Edward Grey, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that they are in imminent danger of attack, and that owing to the desperate situation it is impossible to leave. The consular guard, they say. is inadequate to protect them.
[Last September Sir Edward Grey, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, sent the following telegram to the President of the Committee of Persian Women in Constantinople: — "I am commanded by her Majesty the Queen to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram, which has._been referred to me oy her Majesty. I am to inform you that his Majesty's Government, in conjunction with the Russian Government, are already taking such steps as are in their power, consistently with the independence of Persia, to promote the restoration of order in Persia."]
