My dear Papen: just a few words

best of all, there is something big com

you see. have been fairly busy the
short time I have been here.
On Sunday I start on a trip to see
the cities of Southern Germany in war

"Your Berlin looks wonderful this
summer; the climate, they tell me, is
unusually good. Of course, on the part
OF the masses there is an undercurrent
against Americans, but the people
worth while are all splendidly broad
minded. 1t is my sincere conviction
and the belief of many other American
correspondents here that the misun-
derstandings between our two countries
are due to the poor advice and the
warped viewpoint Of the American EN-
bassy in Berlin. President Wilson can
not know the German viewpoint under
existing circumstances
Write me how things are going.
Best wishes for successful work.
Yours, +. L. FOX"

also found from Lieutenant Colonel H.
Herwarth. who at present is official d-
rector of the German press bureau.
This letter was delivered to Won Papen
by Fox when he returned to the United
States. 1t read:
Berlin, March 10, 1915.
MY Dear Papen-Many thanks for
your kind letter Of the 18th February.
! strongly advise you to see
1anghorne; of course, you know he is
returning. Everybody regrets his de-
parture. He is quite exceptionally pop
ular with every one here.
Il am frightfully busy, and, like you,
| long to be at the front, for office
work ultimately becomes unbearablc
and totally unsatisfying. There is,
however, no prospect of my relieving
you. You must look around for an
other successor, though you probably
Will meet with no success. The other
military attaches are no better off.
They also would like to leave, but have
to remain where they are. The bearer
of this letter, Mr.. Lyle Fox, can give
you news of Berlin He is reliable and
understands how shamefully dependent
on England the United States have be-
come. Pro forma, of course, he is neu-
tral. l think there will soon be big
change in American opinion.
II should like to write more. but
there, is no time. We are frantically
busy here in the press section. A small
part of our work is now being printed
as you will observe from the 'Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine zeitung' which 7
inclose. Let Boy-Ed have a look at it
and give him my kind regards He has
probably received my pamphlet on the
campaign of enlightenment in America.
"Goodby now. my dear Papen, and
kind regards from yours very sincerely.
III. HERWARTH"
Mr.. Becker is anxious to locate
George Won Shal, former managing ed
ltor of the "Staats-Zeitung," to inter
rogate him regarding certain facts re-
lating to the information service. A
letter from Won Shal to Maximilian
Harden, of Berlin, was also discovered
among Won Papen's effects. In this he
lauded the work of Count Bernstorff
in this country. and explained that it
was hard to fully appreciate his sue
cess under the circum stances.
Another man who will be questioned
is Heinrich Charles, a sSrmer Hearst
employe. who was secretary of the
Chamber of German American Com.
