The Chargé in Greece (Atherton) to the Secretary of State

120. Department’s telegram 51 August 15 [18], 2 p.m. Upon arrival of Director Jaquith Near East Relief I suggested to him that he [apparent omission] conversation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs reported in my cipher telegram 117, August 7, 6 p.m. Jaquith informed me yesterday he has made an arrangement very much as reported in my 117, August 7, 6 p.m. and that he understood two Greek vessels with some of the refugees aboard have already left Constantinople for Saloniki.

I understand League of Nations will care for some 5,000 of these refugees in [Thrace?]. Constantinople informed.
