1175. Please inform interested governments that Embassy having asked the Sublime Porte repeatedly to send civil belligerent subjects now detained at Urfa to a better place, War Office has promised that they will be sent at once now to Aintab where I trust they will be more comfortable. I have recommended American missionaries at Aintab give them such assistance as they can.

Morgenthau
