Won BERNSTORFF
In SECLUSION; HIS
LIFE THREATENED
Goes to Retreat in Country
After Receiving Over
100 Menacing Letters.

Count Won Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, Is seeking a rest with
friends in an undisclosed retreat in the
country from the worries Of his
position. This became known yester-
day. together with the fact that he has
received more than hundred threat
ening letters within the last few
months.
Most Of these letters, it was learned,
threatened bodily injury to Count Won
BernstorfF, a few were of a BLACK
hand" nature, and some of the letters
predicted that harm would befall the
German summer embassy az Cedar
hurst, Long Island. As a result, spe-
cial policemen were engaged to patrol
the confines Of the German Embassy
there, and Count Won Bernstorff quiet
ly slipped away to some place known
only to Prince Won HatzfeldtTrachen-
berg, German Charge d'Afairs, who
over the telephone admitted last night
that threatening letters had been re-
ceiyed by the German Embassy.
at is true that we have received
about a hundred threatening letters,
but as far as know Count Won Bern
storff has paid no attention to any Of
them" Prince Won hatfield said. "The
ambassador IS spending much earned
vacation with some personal friends in
the country, and am not at liberty to
state his present whereabouts. have
no personal knowledge that Count Won
Bernstorff has made any complaints or
representations 70 the State Depart
ment about the threatening letters he
has received" The Prince admitted,
however, that his chief might have pro-
tested to the State Department without
his knowledge.
81 conversed with the Ambassador
only this afternoon and he did not tell
me anything about being worried about
the threats which have been made
against him and against the Embassy"
Prince hatfield said. AS far as
know Count Won Bernstorff is enjoy
ing good health and is recuperating in
the country from the strain of the
Diplomatic burden he has carried since
the war began"
Efforts made by The Tribune to To-
cate Count Won Bernstorff last night
were unavaillng. The German En-
bassy in Washington is closed for the
summer and inquiries for the German
Ambassador were referred TO the
Summer Embassy at Cedarhurst, Long
Island, where it was positively assert
ed that Count Won BernstorR was not
there. 1t was said that he had not
been there for two weeks. At the Ritz
Carlton, where Dr. Friedrich Elder
the Ambassadors secretary, has ar of
fee and where Count Won Bernstorf
transacts most of his official business,
II was stated that he was not there.
