The Acting Secretary of State to the Consul at Vladivostok (Caldwell)

[Telegram]
Washington, October 1, 1917, 5 p.m.

For Stevens:

About 120 men will be sent to Vladivostok locomotive shop. No trouble arranging commissary and food for them. How do you [Page 201] suggest matter be handled for the twelve units of officers who we understand will be scattered all over Russia? Difficult to get accommodations on Pacific which may delay movement. Shall we send interpreters or will you provide them in Russia? Answer Washington, Felton.1
