LONDON FORESEES
BLOODY STRUGGLE
NEAR FOR PERSIA
Dispatches Tell of Excite
ment Over Return of
Old Shah.

LONDON. July 2O.-Despite the assur-
ances of the Persian government that 1t
can frustrate the plans of Mohammed
All, former Shah, to regain the throne.
It was freely predicted in English gov
ernment circles today that a long,
bloody struggle is about to begin in Per-
sia-
The former Shah, who entered the
country before the government was
aware Of mis- presence. is said to be as
sured of 80 900 followers, and is now near
Astrabad. Against this force the gov
ernment has about $1,000 troops, but the
loyalty of some of them is open to
grave doubt.
From Russian sources 1t was learned
today that the deposed Shah embarked
at Baku under bogus passports and in
disguise, travelling in the steerage with
a few followers.
The German press intimates that 1t
may really not be the former Shah, but
an impostor commissioned from Russia
and England to create disorders, to fa-
cllitate the partition of Persia.
In tho meantime, Russia, England, and
Germany are watching closely for fur
ther developments.
