Your 3045, October 2, noon.1 The German delegates who have just returned from Berlin state that the German Government will not accept the provision recognizing the naturalization of Germans as Americans since the 4th of August, 1914, who may be captured in our armed forces. The American delegation thinks that the situation can be adequately met by the American military authorities in France. Garrett.
