No. 122.]Sir: Referring to your dispatch No. 126 of the 10th
ultimo, concerning the nature of the visé of passports required for persons
entering Germany from France through Alsace-Lorraine, and also suggesting
the advisability of warning the public that in any of the larger cities of
Germany passports are required of all foreigners who take up residence
therein even for a short time, I inclose herewith copies of the printed
notice so modified in accordance with your suggestion.
Thanking you most cordially for bringing the matter to the attention of the
Department,
I am, etc.,
Alvey A. Adee,
Acting Secretary.
[Inclosure in No. 122.]
Notice by the Department of State.
Passports are necessary for the Turkish dominions, including Egypt and
Palestine, and must be certified by a Turkish consular officer before
entering Turkish jurisdiction. Persons quitting the United States with
eventual purpose of visiting any part of Turkey are advised that their
passports may conveniently be certified in advance by the consul-general
of Turkey at New York, thus avoiding possible difficulty in obtaining
the prescribed vise’ in another country en route.
Persons traveling with United States passports desirous of entering
Alsace-Lorraine from France should not neglect to have their passports
viséed by the embassy of Germany at Paris, thus possibly sparing
themselves much inconvenience and delay.
It is also understood that in many of the larger cities of Germany
passports are required of all foreigners who therein take up even a
short residence.
