One of the leading po- litical personalities of the country in question is seeking a loan of $1 100000 in New. York for which security VIII be given. I was forbidden to give hi>. name in writing. The affair seems to me to be of the greatest possible inn pOrtance. Can the money be provided at once in New York. That the inter mediaries will keep the matter secret is entirely certain. Request answer by telegram. A verbal reply will fol- low soon a trustworthy person can be found to bring it to n Germany 797s NO. 15O, February 1e. Answer to Telegram No. 679.
 Agree to the loan but only if peace action seems to you really serious New York is for us at present ex- difficult. If the enemy | country is Russia have nothing to do l! with the business as the sum of money | s too small to have any serious eff 1 'ect in that country. So, too, in the | ,ase of Italy, for it would not be | worth while to spend so much.
