Neutrality-suspicious. series Of tele-
man government and its embassy in
this country was made public Wednes-
day by Secretary Lansing. They are
remarkable for the degree OF cunning
and ing snuity displayed in the evident
purpose to do all possible injury to
Germany's European enemies through
cutting off their resources in America,
while at the same time avoiding as
far as possible mourning the wrath of
the American people by actual de.
struction Of life in this country and
in Canada.
The three kilograms comprising this
series form the natural complement
to the correspondence already dis
closed by the State Department con-
veying absolutely convincing evidence
of q well-calculated and systematic
violation ef American neutrality by
Germany during . period Of more than
a year preceding the beginning Of
ruthless submarine warfare and the
breach of relations between Germany
and the United States.
Secretary Lansing said the tele-
grams had not been sent through the
State Department, thus leaving the In.
ference that they must have moved
through one of the neutral Legations
