The Ambassador in Argentina ( Stimson) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]
Buenos Aires, August 29, 1917, 12 noon.
[Received 4.15 p.m.]

My telegram August 28, 7 p.m.1 German note of August 26 is considered acceptable, although couched in abstract terms, because a condition limiting German promise to Argentine vessels not traversing German war zones, put forward by German Minister here, was peremptorily refused in the second Argentine note, August 17. Documentation long, has been cabled in full to Naón.2
