Sugar beets were pulled out and part of

busy with cultivation. Steam plows have

His Private Letters Showed
A Far Different Tone

Utterly different in tone were the private
letters Albert received from Berlin. A
typical one is that written by his friend
Trautmann, then attached to the Foreign
Office. It is dated April % and the final
PAL agraph notes that "as the courier
leaves for America, on May 6; I am hurry

Thereupon the German Ambassador was
ready to show the American Government
that he, representative of Wilhelm Hohen-
zollern, that august democrat, was large
enough to give his permission to American
firms to sell and ship to allied Powers

permit the starving women and babies of
the Fatherland to receive bread from the
United States. Was not the shame of Eng

on the head unsuspecting wayfarers whom
Bernstorff waved past with flourish of

gesting to the German Chancellor, VoI,
Bethmann.Hollweg methods of bringing
America to time. One of these sugges-
tions had to do with the protests of
American importers of German and Aus
trian goods against the British Order in
Council. l quote it from one of the Albert
waetzoldt letters to Won Bethmann- Holl.
veg:
From a German standpoint, the press
ure upon the American Government can be
strengthened by the interruption Of de-
liveries from Germany even If the British
Government should permit exceptions.
Those shipments especially should be in
terrupted which the American industries
so badly require especially chemicals and
dyestuffs. as also goods which are used In
the realm Of the fine arts. The withhold
ing of goods is the surest means of
casioning the placing before the Admins
tration I'm Washington (the wefare) of
American interests
Those protests have the most weight
which come from American industries
which employ many workmen. The COM
plant of one OF the great American dye
factories which declared that the continu-
ing of Withholding of dyestuffs would
make necessary the dismissal of 1000
workmen has done more than the protest
Of the importers"
Despite Alberts gloomy warnings and
prophecies, he clung desperately to hope
that Germany would come out victorious
and in some way avoid direct conflict with
the United States. He and Waetzoldt
collaborated in a bit of significant specu
lation in futures in one of their reports
to Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
This report is dated. June 3, 1915.

Fright now," IL reads, "the German in.

ferring German industries to the United
States TO a greater extent than has been
done already-when the time arrives. :.
May the German industries then make
their decision for the true interests OF
the Fatherland and not alone for profit.
II the decision is again brought
home to German industry let it not be
forgotten what position the United States
took with reference to Germany in this
war"
