use him in carrying on Sabotage in this
country and Canada.

egn Office naturally could hold any opinion
in regard to its ability to use me in its
schemes But | wish 20 state emphatcally
that I was not approached by Count Non
Bernstorff or any of his agents
Furthermore. ' would like to make It
clear that I would consider such a sug-
gestiou from the German foreign office a

The Prince of Orange in 1865 said Let not a
sum of gold be dear to YOU that for it's sake YOU
will sacrifice your lives your wives. your children
and all your descendants to the latest generations
that you will bring sin and shame upon yourselves
and destruction upon who have heartily
striyen to assist you. Think what YOU will
incur from foreign nations, what crime you will
commit against the Lord God, what bloody yoke
you will impose forever upon yourselves and your
children if you now seek for subterfuges if YOU
now prevent us from taking the field with the troops
which We have enlisted. On the other hand, what
