Concerning Administration

The following letters found among
cred the most interesting part Of the
correspondence turned owed to the
American embassy. The first is letter
from r. Won Meysenbug, German con-
sui at New Orleans to Capt. Won Papen.
The letter follows:
New Orleans. December, 1915.
Dear Herr Won Papen: 1 read with
regret that the fate of recall has in
deed overcome you. l don't suppose
that YOU are very unhappy to be able
to shake the dust Of this unfriendly
country from off your feet. What chief
ly offends me is that in always giving
way to the government here we have
never found that they are kindly dis
posed towards U.S. That the demand
for the recall has been so sudden and
belated throws an interesting light upon
the government here. May here also
the day Of reckoning come and or gov
eminent find again that iron determin-
alton with which which alone one can
make an impression here.
Hoping that our connection formed
in this great time will not come to an
end with your departure. I am.
yours sincerely.

Meyer to Capt. Won Papen. 1t follows

in seven minutes and the second fall came
In four minutes.
Peters went after schmarder at the
start and In n minute both men were on
the mat. with Peters on top. Peters In
stantly went after the scissors. but failed
ito hold It. Sehmarder by remarkable
agility wiggled out.
A moment later. however, Peters
wrapped his legs around Schmarder again
and this time schmarder couldn't get out
try as hard as he could. Peters held the
leg clamp on schmarder fully five min
utes and with the aid OF an arm hold
gently turned him over
The second fall came quickly The two
men went TO the mat nj the start. with

broke away ana Schmarder went to th'
