TROUBLE IN PERSIA.
REVOLUTION RUMOURED. ANTI-BRITISH. PROPAGANDA. Press Association—Electric Telecraph—Copyright (Australian and Cable Association.) (Received Wednesday, 9.25 a.m.) DELHI, Tuesday. Although no confirmation has been received of a revolution in Persia, it is known that after the fall of Baku all the Nationalist and Democratic elements in Tabriz and Teheran became bolder. The Prime Minister, who is at present the real ruler of Persia, is too ill to attend to his duties, and the result is that anti-British propaganda goes on unchecked. The military situation is dangerous. The Cossack Division at Teheran openly asserts that in the event- of a Bolshevik advance it will join the enemy. The British forces in Persia are very slender, and too far apart to be of any use. It is rumoured at Teheran that the Shah? has no intention of returning, and is expected to remain in Mesopotamia and watch the progress of events.
