The Minister in Switzerland ( Stovall ) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

893. Approximately two hundred Russian pacifists are leaving Zurich to-day for Russia through Germany. The German authorities have extended every facility for their trip in the expectation that these pacifists will work for a separate peace with Germany. I have forwarded a copy of this telegram to the Ambassador at Petrograd.
