HUN PERFIDY
DISCLOSED BY
CODE MESSAGE
Editor Ratham Shows That
Bernstorf Knew Lusi-
! tania Was Doomed.

A cipher message proving that
Count Won Bernstorff was aware that
the Lusitania was definitely doomed
when she left the New York docks
has been made public by John r.
Ratham, the spy-catching Rhode Is
land editor. who has unearthed nu-
Werous German plots during the last
ehree years. A New York World al
manac was utilized as a code book by
the Germans.
A wireless code message sent from
Nauen. Germany, to the big Sayville
station was caught on April %. 1915.
by the operator of a station MAIN
tanned by Mr.. Ratham.
The cipher message read as follows:
From Berlin Foreign Office. To
Botschaft. Washington. 669 (4-w)-
Welt nineteen fifteen warne l75 @
stop l75 2 stop durch e22 2 4 stop 10 Z
Is stop LIX II 3466
Every attempt to decipher the mes
sage failed until some one familiar
with the activities of the German EN-
bassy remembered that during the
morning Prince HatzfeIdt had been
looking for q World Almanac. The
first two words of the message.
bore out this clue. Following the
code numbers as representing page.
line and word In the World Almanac.
the following message was decoded: ::
Warn Lusitania passengers through
press not voyage across Atlantic"
Two days later the German EN-
bassy advertised in the New York
papers the now famous warning to
persons taking passage on trans
Atlantic liners. And a week later
the Lusitania was sunk.
Bernstorff after the sinking of
the Lusitania. declared that the ad-
vertisement published by him in
the New York Press was inserted
on his own responsibility without
particular reference to the Lusi-
tania. The cipher message proves
that he deliberately lied.

U. S. PREPARES
TO GUARD LIFE
OF DIPLOMAT
David R. Francis Threaten
ed Because of Berkman-
Goldman Verdict.

Steps were taken last night by the
American government to safeguard
the life of David r. Francis, United
States Ambassador at Petrograd.
Anarchists at Helsingfors, Finland,
have informed the Ambassador that
he will be held personally responsible
unless the United States government
at once effects the release Of Alex
ander Berkman. leader of the reds
in this country.
In a written communication to the
Ambassador the Finnish terrorists
complained In violent language OF
what they described as the ''relent-
less and pitiless persecution" Of Berk-
man by the American government.
| II harm came to Berkman. either
through death or by imprisonment,
they informed the Ambassador. he
would have to answer for it.
To Make Inquiry.
A copy of the threat was received
at the State Department yesterday
in Official dispatches from the Amer
! lean Embassy at Petrograd. The Am
bassador did not express any alarm
or ask that anything be done for his
protection.
Owing to the fact that the United
States has not yee recognized the in
dependence of Finland. it was decided
to make informal inquiries" OF the
Lenine-Trotzky government at Petro-
grad. with an implied demand for
greater protection of the Embassy
and members of the staff.
The United States Supreme Court
last Monday decided that both Berk-
man and Emma Goldman, who was
associated with him in efforts to
thwart the enforcement of the seIec-
tive draft act. should serve prison
sentences. Both have been prominent
for years as leaders among the "di-
rect action" anarchists in this coun-
try Emma Goldman was known as
the Queen of the Reds The two
published the anarchist paper Mother
Earth
Ambassador Francis life las on sev-
eral occasions been threatened. Ex-
tremists in Russia have been encour-
aged by Trotzky himself in the belief
that the American Ambassador is an
enemy of the revolution and a reac-
tionary. Bitter attacks have been
made on him in the Bolsheviki organs
at Petrograd, particularly since efforts
were made by Trotzky to prove that
Francis was employing the facilities
of the American Red Cross In Russia
to get aid to the Cossack movement,
headed by Kornilofr. Indirect intima-
tions have come to this government
from Trotzky that the st. Louis man
was persona non grata" in Petro-
grad. These intimations, 1t is under
stood. were made at the time that the
Bolsheviki government obtained the
recall of Buchanan, the British Am
bassador, who was looked upon as a
friend of the overthrown Car.
On one occasion within the past
month Ambassador Francis, revolver
in hand, was reported by returning
American travellers as having held of
a mob that menaced the embassy.

Shiny Gold Pieces Prove
Qndoing of Dusky Lads

A jit's Sit. two bits is a days
work. 80 cents fortune and a green
back is SOME MONEY. but when it
comes to shining gold pieces. the aver
age "cullud'' child is out OF his class.
Thirteen-year-old Richard johnson
and John Butler. his 16-year-old COM
panion. proved this theory yesterday
afternoon when, after clever manipu-
lation. they had stolen a bag of SO
and $50 gold pieces from the United
Savings Bank, Fourteenth and u
streets northwest. they stood on a
nearby corner and endeavored to bar
ter them away for "de silver coins
what dey knowed about"
After encountering repeated rebufrs
from passersby. who Indignantly re-
fused TO listen to the ytung negroes,
the boys went to the home Of Miss
Ruth Dabney, 1l3S Third street north
The Washington herald., 1918-01-31

west. and inquired of her the value of
the coins. Suspicious on account OF
the question and the boys actions,
Miss Dabney notified the police. who
overlook them short distance from
the Dabney home. All the $500 con-
tanned in the bag, with the exception
of $50. was recovered.
Police say the boys obtained the
money by reaching through window
In the bank while the receiving teller
had his back turned. The boys placed
the money in a bag which they carried
and left the bank without arousing
suspicion.
John Butler gave his address as l4ot
7 street northwest. while Richard
johnson said he lived at PIG Eleventh
street northwest. They are being held
at the Second precinct on a charge OF
grand larceny.

AIR RAIDERS
B0MBL LONDON
FOR SIX HOURS
People Sought Shelter with
Casualties and Damage
Relatively Light.
Special Cable to The Washington
Herald and New York Tribune.

Herald and New York Tribune.
London. Jan. 3o.-From the time
OF warning to the bugIe announcing
all clear there was a span Of more
than six hours Monday night dur
ing which Londoners heard the
longest and most violent cannonade
since the German Gothas began
visiting the capital. Flocks OF
raiders penetrated the city's de-
fenses.
The fact that the people have
learned to seek shelter the moment
. the alarm Is given and no longer
allow curiosity to\get the better of
their judgment is responsible
for the comparatively small number
OF casualties. Though several bombs
fell in the business section the
damage was confined to small
area and measured in money 1t was
insignificant.
The intensity of the barrage and
the reverberation of the guns was
enough to test the nerves of vet
eran soldiers. but the people pre-
served remarkable calm and no
panics were reported, though the
first raiders came when the stream
OF homegoers and pleasure seekers
was at the food. Most OF the the
aters carried out their regular per-
foTmances- Gen. Jan Smuts deliv-
cred a lecture on the African COL
onies to the Royal Geographical
Society and the house OF lords con-
tinued its session right through the
whole raid. Many buses and taxi
cabs. especially in the outskirts OF
the city, rolled along under a rain
of shrapnel.
The night was perfect for the
raiders, the moon being almost full
and not cloud in the Sky and
hardly a breath OF wind. The first
and second fiOcks OF Gothas came
with such a short interval between
that the rain of bombs and the fire
OF guns was almost continuous.
Then followed a period of calm
lasting over an hour, during which
many people who had been strand
ed made a break to get home Just
after midnight the third relay ar
rived. but it merely skirted the city
and hurried away.
