younger than the Kaiser. My birth
day is the same as his" said DR..
Barthelme. CThe Kaiser was born
January 81, 1851.
81 don't care to say anything about
my relations here since the break
ing off OF diplomatic relations. Neith-
er do 1 care to affirm or deny the
story about an invitation to go home
with Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
Talking about such matters would
involve conversations with Govern
ment officials. II they wish to be
quoted let them talk.
81 don't mind denying the story
that / am a personal representative
of Ambassador Won Bernstorff. My
position here is solely that of a news
paper correspondent.
Acted on Spur OF Moment.
What I did in putting out the
story about a renewal of correspond
ence in an effort to bring about an
agreement between the United States
and Germany was done on the spur
of the moment and on my own re-
sponsibility. 1t had the approval of
my own conscience-and that is all
there is to that.
81 have never gotten used to what
you call personality interviews or
sketches in this. country. In our
country newspapers don't care a
d. about that, whether a man has
fair hair or black. 1t Is what he
thinks that counts"
DR.. Barthelme was one of the edi-
tors of the Cologne Gazette before
coming to this country as its corre-
spondent several years ago. He said
he didn't want to get into the who's
who" class by discussing his early
experiences.
1t is understood DIR. Barthelme in
tends to remain here, serving his pub
Iication in any way possible, until the
end of the war and probably after
ward.
Is nm Inveterate Reader.
The Cologne Gazette correspondent
is unmarried. He is a student and an
inveterate reader. Since the sever
ance Of diplomatic relations he has
been more reclusive than usual. As
a rule he eats at a German cafe
rather than at his club or the down.
town lunchrooms.
Naturally he was on friendly terms
with the German ambassador, and is
understood to have felt keenly the
severance of relations and the depar-
ture of Count Won Bernstorf, but, IN
SO far as he is able, DR.. Barthelme
hopes to remain in Washington and
serve his paper even though his posi-
tion is necessarily a delicate one in
the present unfortunate but unavoid-
able circumstances

The quality of the jag producer,
however, is rather tropical. It's con-

Sunday night at the Eagle Hall three reel morality drama features Pauline Bush in beautiful story that gives this elegant screen actress an or.unity to display to ad vantage her many gifts. The story depicts the influence of a woman's glorious soul and through the migE- ty power of love and hope how even vicious characters are reclaimed and turned into the paths that lead to the sublime.
