Donovan is now in London preparing for his return within the next few days to the United States, where he will report to Col. Knox.
Col. Donovan began his tour on Decem. ber 26 and in the interval has had ample op- portunity of examining the political, eco- nomic and strategic position in the Mediter- ranean, which was one of the prime objects of his visit to Europe. |
