BALFOUR, S1ALERTNESS CREDITED
WITH SWINGING u. S. INTO WAR
Original German Note Bidding for Next
can Alliance Against America Placed in
Wilson Hands by British Statesman.

Won Bernstorff, the German Ambassador
Of Washington, was transmitted, as q
matter of diplomatic courtesy, in that
manner.
Reasoning Proves Correct.
Balfour's reasoning was correct. I'm
der seal copy was placed in the pouch
by the German government for trans
mission to Won Bernstorff. 1t was re-
-ceived at Washington, and, wholly un-
aware of what the sealed package con-
tanned, the State Department trans
mitted 1t by messenger to Won Bern
storff.
1t was Won Bernstoff's duty to send
the copy to Won Eckhardt. A diflcult
task it proved, for when the copy
reached washington Germany had an
nounced her submarine warfare ION
January I'D and Won BernstofT's dis
missal was in preparation BY Woodrow
Wilson. Bernstoff's aides, Boy-ed and
Won Papen, already had been sent home
for their activity Had they remained
at Washington the task would have
been easy, Tor they were also accredited
to Mexico as well as to the United
States.
There was no trusted messenger at
the German embassy whom Won Bern
stoff could send to Mexico City with the
document So Bernstein, after quick de-
liberation; had an inspiration. He put
the note in q plain, unmarked envelope,
addressed it to Won Eckhardt and
dropped 1t into mail box.
