DIRECTED SINKING
Berlin Foreign Office Ordered
Lusitania Tragedy.
Code Message Proves Plot Was
Laid Officially.

> New York, Jan. S0.-The cipher mes
sage which proved that Berlin directed
the sinking of the Lusitania is made
public, for the first time in the
Worlds Work magazine, published to-
day John R. Rathom, editor of the
Providence Journal, which exposed nu-
merous German plots in this country
during the last three years, in an arti-
Gle giving in detail the methods he
used to unearth the work of the Ger
man agents, quotes this message from
his files, and explains how it was de-
coded. The message, in cipher, reads
as follows:

This cipher message came thru
from Nauen, Germany, to Sayville,
Long Island, at 2 o'clock on the morn
ing of April 20, 1915, and was caught
by, the operator at a wireless station
maintained by the Providence Jour-
nal 1t was especially interesting be-
cause it followed none of the codes
which they had previously observed.
1t was evidently important, because
four attempts were made to put it

ceeded in overcoming the unfavorable
static conditions which prevailed that
morning.

Every attempt to decipher it failed
until somebody with a line on the in
ternal activities of the Germany en-
bassy remembered that during that
morning Prince Hatzfeldt, of the en-
bassy staff, had been looking for a
New York World Almanac" The
first two words of the message, welt
German for Worldly 1916" supplied
the clue. Following the other num-
bers in the. message as representing
page, line, and word in the World
almanac" for, 1915, the Journal
men decided the message as follows;
Warn Lusitania passenger (s) thru
press not voyage across the Atlantic.
Two days later the German embassy
printed the now historic advertise
ment in the New York papers warn
ing travellers not to cross the Atlantic
and a week later, on May z, the
Lusitania was sunk by a German SUBJ
marine.
Bernstorff Grief Feigned.
Two words of the message are
spelled out in German. They are
'4warne," which in English is warn" A;
and "durch," which means thru
The word "botschaft" is German OF
embassy"
The German ambassador, i'm
mediately after ~the sinking of the
Lusitania declared that the adver-
tisement he had published in the New
York papers was inserted on his own
responsibility and had no particular
reference to the Lusitania. AS printed
this advertisement mentioned no ship
by name But the cipher message
now reveals the fact that he deliber-
ately lied, and that Berlin directed the
whole tragedy.
Incidentally, Mr.. Rathom's article
adds that on the evening after the
Lusitania was sunk, when friends OF
Won Bernstorff declared that he was
overwhelmed with grief and secluded
in his rooms in New York hotel, he
was Mn reality giving dinner in the
apartments of a friend in New York
and there toasted the commander OF
the U-boat which sunk the liner.
