Note--Both the circulars bear the
penciied notation that the German Sc
cret service bureau at Petrograd has
received them, signed Agasfer, the
cipher signature of Major hubert, head
of the bureau, as will be shown in
document No. S. The German intent
here was to remove from the records
of the old Russian government the
evidence, first, that Germany was be-
ginning in June 1914, its active prep
aration for the war that surprised the
world in August, 1914, and second, to
remove the evidence of its response

in the United States, a country with
which Germany was then at peace.
The result was to give new evidence
OF the truth OF the charges.
