1103. The League Commission informs me that approximately 2450 foreign volunteers have thus far been evacuated, of whom 2000 were French and the remainder Belgians and Scandinavians. Some 800 more will go out this week most of whom are Polish, Italians, Czechs, and Germans, who formerly resided in France. If the necessary arrangements are made the 201 Americans mentioned in my 1102 will accompany this group.
Figures furnished by the Government show the total of 1103 American volunteers in Spain with 487 in the southern area. I am inclined to doubt the accuracy of the latter figure but it may be correct. Approximately 100 additional American volunteers (83 of whom are apparently the ones rejected at the French border and mentioned in my 1074, November 6, 5 p.m.) have been discovered by Mr. Worley who will proceed to Sagaro and Farnes tomorrow with Mr. Caragol to examine them.
