Ambassador Morgenthau recognizes that many lives are still at stake. On Sept. 3, 1915, Morgenthau sends a Telegram to the U.S. State Department requesting that the Secretary of State ask Cleveland Dodge, Rabbi Stephen Wise, and other prominent men to form a committee to raise funds for Armenian refugees. This telegram effectively calls upon private citizens to intervene where the U.S. government has not.
