[Telegram]
Vologda, July 11, 1918, 2 a.m.
[Copied from confirmation, original not received.]

329. Referring to my telegram No. 3281 similar telegrams also received by French and Italian colleagues, tone of French telegram however stronger than others. After conferring with Allied chiefs here to-night we have unanimously agreed not to comply with demand. British Embassy has so advised General Poole, Murman, [Page 497] and Admiral Kemp, Archangel, at the same time urging immediate sending Allied troops Archangel. I am so informing Consuls, Moscow and Archangel.
