 The letter continues: "The bearer of this letter, MT. Lyell Fox, can give you news of Berlin. He is reliable and understands how shamefully de- pendent on England the United States have become. Pro forma, of course, he is a neutral. I think there will soon be a big change in Ameri- can opinion."
 Another Herwarth letter, dated March 22, says:
 "I hope you and Boy-Ed received all my letters, which I forwarded to you through Langhorne and Fox. I hope the people over there will grad ually see reason. I am sure you and Boy-Ed will do your share to con- tribute to this result. I shall do all I can by influencing the reporters who always come to see me-
 Due for Service.
 A letter from Edward Lyell Fox, dated Berlin, July 2S, says;
 Tt is my sincere conviction, and in behalf of many other American correspondents here that the misun- derstandings between our countries are due to the poor advice and warped view point of the American embassy in Berlin. President Will son cannot know the German view point under the existing circum- stances
 A letter dated merely ''WashingtOn Tuesday," signed H. Hatfield, con- tains the following:
 American People Stupid.
 FT teIephoned today to Albert. The ambassador, in my opinion, should nevertheless issue a statement to en- tighten the native Americans and pro- Germans and lead their thoughts into right channels. The people are really so sturI Besides, by this means we can openly defend the Americans Adams, Hod1ey-who are implicated in this affair"

 An undated note follows:
 Dear Won Papen: A secret agent, who returned from Washington this evening, made the following state ment: "The Washington people are very excited about Won Papen and are having a constant watch kept on him. They are in possession of a whole heap of discriminating evidence against him. (This sentence is underlined "They have no evidence against Count B. and Captain B. F."
 Worded Too Emphatically.
 Tn this connection I would suggest with due diffidence that perhaps the first part Of your telegram is worded rather too emphatically.-You ever B. F."
 pr. Dumba, the former Austro- Hungarian ambassador at Washing ton, whose recall was requested by the American government, wrote from Lenox on September 1, 1915:
 Everything has ended happily in Washington and the people already think they hear the bells of peace ringing. We have not got that length yet, but it just shows what a good effect is produced by good words and a light hand"
 Fight for Justice.

 While I am thoroughly ashamed of my country at present, I nevertheless intend to stay here and fight for jus tice and fair play"
 A letter from George Won Ska1 to MaXimilian Harden, dated December 15, 1915, includes this:
 About a year ago I told you you shouldn't hold too high an opinion of Count B. I must now tell you he has done splendid work here in diff ficult situation. He has shown tact skill and energy beyond anything that we expected of him. Anyone that knows the type of people who are in power here cannot fail unreServedly to admit and admire his activities. He well deserves kind words once in a way, particularly as there are still in fluences at work on your side who wish to decry his services. One of the foremost of these is the widow of Won Sternberg The fact that for time B. could accomplish but little was main ly due to the presence of your friend B. D., who, I may remark in paren- thesis, is very fond of speaking of that PunchinellO Harden. This man was regarded by Americans, even by many Germans, as the real amba ssador. His immense vanity, his desire to come to the front, his tactlessness-did a very great deal of harm.'
