The Chargé d’Affaires in the Netherlands ( Langhorne) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]
The Hague, June 30, 1917, 4 p.m.
[Received July 1, 2 a.m.]

1026. Spanish Minister informs me that German Government will withdraw permission for Americans to work at Spanish Embassy, Berlin, if German employees at Swiss Legation, Washington, are dismissed, and expresses hope that this situation may not arise as the departure of the few Americans now at the Embassy would impair efficiency of its work.
