The Minister in Greece (MacVeagh) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 11—2:15 a.m.]
131. I have just communicated the contents of the Department’s telegram 89, March 7, to the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs who asked me to transmit the thanks of the Greek Government.
He said that there have been no German démarches as yet and has no knowledge of an impending visit from Gesandter Schworbel as reported in Berlin’s telegram No. 888, March 8.
The King told me yesterday he thought German demands might be expected around March 15 and fears that they may be presented to him rather than to the Premier.
Johnson43 indicated by telephone this morning that British troops have now begun to arrive at Salonika.
