[Telegram]
Washington,
June 11, 1917, 5 p.m.
Your June 1, 4 p.m. Inquire discreetly whether the friendly invitation extended, which is much appreciated by the Government of the United States, is to be understood as granting to all United States naval vessels patrolling South American waters the privilege of using the ports of Uruguay, and if so, to what extent.
