569. From Constantinople:

This morning 50 Americans from the interior were permitted to leave for Switzerland so that less than 100 persons desiring to leave, of whom the greater number are Israelites from Palestine, are still in Constantinople. All the names of those who left will be forwarded by mail. Referring to my previous telegrams, please arrange as soon as possible the departure of the Ottoman students. Ahlgren, Chargé d’Affaires.
