Nunited Press Leased Wire.)
st. Petersburg, May 2O.-Persia's
accusation that Russia started the
raiding, massacres and warfare
along the Russo-Persian frontier
threatens grave trouble.
The violent tone assumed by the
Persian charge d'affairs here in air
ing his country's grievances, the
fact that such border troubles are
almost chronic, that the latest out
break Is still unsettled and the prac-
tical certainty that the sultan will
try to break into the controversy
greatly increases the already immi.
nent danger of clash between the
three powers.
The Persian version that nghtins
began with the killing of several
Persian by cossacks who had fol.
lowed lost horses into Persian terri
tory answered by the Russians with
the assertion that the stock was
stolen during a Persian raid.
1t is not denied that many Per
slams were killed and that eight vii
lagos were burned by the Russians
during the ensuing campaign. TIL,
villagers, II is maintained, harboret
bandits and fired on the Russian

Some women and children, II Is ad
mitted. were unavoidable slain.
| The sultan is expected ostenslbl.
to take the shah's part and move
ments of his troops are already re
ported alarmingly suggestive of tn
throwing of strong body into Per
sla.
II permitted, Russia is sure such
move would mean a permanent occu
patton of much Persian territory.
