"Publication of the cipher letter which
I sent to Robert Grimm at Petrograd
through the Swiss legation and where
in l expressed my conception of the
peace conditions of the central powers
as they concerned Russia and the other
entente states have created a situation
ternal and foreign policies of our coun-

union and dissensions and might harm my
beloved country. l therefore ask you to
