This morning the bombardments were renewed on our line south Voorzzoale," and the French positions in the vicinity of Locre were plastered with explosive shrapnel.

Most of these documents are letters written by Herr Wustrow, German Vice-Consul at bhiraz, to Herr Wassmuss, German, ex-Vice-Lonsul with a roving commission to stir up trouble against the British along the Persian Gulf.

This scum can only be tamed by force."
