Il will hc admitted, after reading the
writer's disclosures of conditions In Ger
many since the ending of the war and his
intimate association with prominent pub
lie men there, that MIR Talbot had ex-
traordinarv opportunities Tor getting
/ facts ut first hand In the first place, he
had influence that enabled hum To enter
| Germany and go about the country with
| far greater facility than ordinary travel
crs could command, and his acquaintance
with public men also carried him lar. For
| instance. he had warm friend in Count
Won Bcrnstorff, formerly German Ann
| bassador to the United States, their ac-
| Cuaintancc having been formed IN wash
| ington and lasted throughout the war.
Mr. Hayden entered upon very re-
markable mission. that Of securing from
| the late Kaiser signed statement about
| conditions in Germany and expectations
| for the future That statement was pre-
| narrd hy Count Bernstorff DIR. Rathcnau,
| the great German chemist and manu-
| facturcr, and seven other noted Germans,
! and MIR HAYDEN undertook to convey 1t
/ II pcrsOn to the cx-kaiscr and secure his
signature. In this he failed, nor did he
succeed in even having an interview with
! the cx-kaiscr hut he had an animated
conversation with his secretary, Herr
| Doctor Krcire. who informed him OF the
| cx-kaisers refusal Ia attach his sigma
