The Ambassador in Spain (Bowers), Then in France, to the Secretary of State
[Received August 10—10:10 a.m.]
512. The International Red Cross came to congratulate me on the success of the exchange of prisoners, the first of the war, and to say it is arranging the details of the withdrawal requiring 5 or 6 days. It will give me 2 days’ notice so I can get the agent with the money for the repatriation of the Americans here from Paris and notify the Embassy there so it can arrange about the passports. I am in touch with Murphy and we have an understanding. Have telegraphed Barcelona asking if passports are there and instructing that they be sent to the Embassy in Paris if so.
