President Talked Too Big


The second letter is from DR.. F. W.

NEW YORK. 10 December, 1915.
Dear Captain: Best wishes again on
the occasion of your departure l had

cuss recent event with some Germans.
AS was natural, although there was a
general agreement on main points.
there was a slight difference of opin-
ion: indeed, it could not have been 9TH
erwise. especially as we are rather cut
off from the other side. The Austrian
note is, of course, matter for general
quiet enjoyment, and the whole buSi-
ness can scarcely be taken tragically.
The President this time has talked Il
bit too big even for those who blindly
support him. But we're all of the
opinion that the departure of you and
your colleague is a serious loss for us
Though a majority of those present
had scarcely had an opportunity of
knowing YOU personally, u privilege
yet your efforts have always been es-
pecially spoken OF and more pernsp ps
than you think. [ think, therefore, 1
am speaking in the name of all when
for your faithful vigilance and unre-
mitting abors under the most difficult
circumstances,and to this add my own
special thanks for your attention to my
little proposals.
ITS not surprising. in view of the
fictitious neutrality of the President, that
the term should have been put TO your
work, and you must carry back with
you the knowledge that you have done
your duty according to the best Of your
ability as long as II was possible. Our
people never forget this of you.
81 will gladly comply with your pro-
posal to send line from time to time,

receive one from you occasionally, es-

as could be discussed with some gentle

ter from r. Won Meysenburg, German
consul at New orleans. to Capt. Won
Papen. The letter follows:
New Orleans. December 4, 1915.
Dear Herr won Papen:
Il read with great regret that the
fate of recall has. indeed. overcome
you. | don't suppose that you are very
unhappy to be able to shake the dust
of this unfriendly country from off
YOUR feet. What chiefly offends me is
that in always giving way to the gov
ernment here we have never found that
they are kindly disposed 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 reck-
oninG come and our government find
again that iron determination with
which alone one can make an impress
sion here
Hoping that our connection formed
in this great time will not come to an
end with your departure, | am
