How the German people regard the at

world war is told in a letter received
BY Edward S. Schmid. Of this city, from
a German-American friend in Germany.

of the Lusitania and the supplying OF
arms and ammunition to the allies by
American firms. His communication fol-

OFFICIALS STIRRED

Iny>et,o. to-

Officials Of the State Department were
yesterday greatly interested in the report
by The Herald's London correspondent
of the confession of Robert Rosenthal
the German spy. alleging that the head
of the German spy system in Berlin had
complete equipment for fabricating
American passports.

mitted officially the Rosenthal confession.

next few days. Officials here recognize
the seriousness Of Rosenthars charges.
and are prepared to give them such con-
sideration as they seem to merit.
1t is not expected. however. that any
action can be taken based only on Ro-
senthars statements. Allegations by self
confessed spies are not regarded as of
high value unless supported by other evil
dence It Is thought. however. that his

statements may afford the basis Of an
investigation by agents of this govern
ment both in the United States and in
Europe.
In the several cases of passport irreg-
ularities which have come to the State
Department attention since the out
break of the war there has been no indi-
cation that American passports were be-
ing fabricated. The cases have involved
nothing more serious than obtaining pass
ports In the regular way but under false
pretenses. and in none OF these cases has
1t been established that the German gov
eminent was in any way involved.
