The Consul at Vladivostok (Caldwell) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]
Vladivostok, August 7, 1918, 10 a.m.
[Received 3.18 p.m.]

81. Your August 2, 6 p.m.1 Impossible state strength of following of Siberian government without information from western Siberia with which I have had no communication past month. Either [Page 333] Macgowan or Embry1 willing to undertake trip to [Omsk?] via Peking and Mongolian route in effort to secure such information if Department considers expense and effort would be justified. Hardly practicable. Instruct.
