PERSIA.

AN ANXIOUS POSITION. . GERMAN INTRIGUE IUFE, Times and Sydney Sun Services. Received Sept. 30, 5.50 p.m. London, Sept. 30. In the House of Commons, Lord Robert Cecil said that the Persian situation was causing anxious consideration. An attack on the town iby tribesmen, instigated by Austro-German intrigues and money, had resulted in the occupation of Bushirc by British forces, and a furter attack had been attempted at Ispahan. There was no doubt that the Germans had subsidised 'bandits in order to create disorder, and at Shirez the British vice-consul had been killed.

Strong remonstrances, said Lord Oecil, had been made to the Persian Government. Britain had expressed willingness to ease Persia's financial difficulties, and the Persian Government had promised redress. An influential labor leader had reported, Lord Cecil stated: "We are gradually being taken into the confidence of the Government, and are only now realising how the military situation actually stands. When we get our own men to comprehend it the same way the Germans may as well begin to gather up their tools."
