"PureIy Diplomatic" Papers.
In statement after his arraign.
ment, at which he entered a plea OF
not guilty, Graves asserted that he
had no intention of blackmailing the
countess; that he objected to the use
of the word blackmail, and that the
papers he has in his possession were

Much interest was aroused in Of
ficial quarters at the indirect exposu
ure of the manner in which persons
and officials in Germany apparently
are avoiding the British censorship
in communicating with the German
embassy here.
SeIf-styIed Master Spy.
The arrest of Graves furnished a
dramatic conclusion to negotiations
which had been in progress for a
week between him and Prince HAITI
feldt, counselor of the German en-
bassy. Graves is said to have come
to Washington last week and called
at the embassy He was known there
as the man who had published widely

the Hohenzollerns. He also was
known as man WHO previously had
described himself as member OF
the German secret service, and la
ter as an employe in foreign fields Of
the British foreign office. "The mas
ter spy" he called himself.
Officials allege that upon entering
the office Of Prince Hatzfeldt he
made it known that he had in his
possession the papers which brought
about his arrest. One letter which
he exhibited was to Countess vor
Bernstorff from her son, an Officer
in the German army. He said, &C
cording to statements made by fed
eral officials, that he had other let
tiers that would prove 'embarrass

published.
$4,000 Is Price Alleged.
The official dispatches we're said to
be useless to him, for the reason
that he could not decipher them He
is alleged to have asked for $4,000 in
cash if he delivered the papers.
The embassy officials said Graves
threatened to turn over some of the
documents to White House officials
if the $4,000 were not forthcoming.
