the youngest brother, represented
this country as ambassador TO

in the cabinet of Theodore Roose-
welt.
Nathan Straus literally saved the

such shipments sent by Germany to
Russia within the last few years.
German engineers and chemists
will erect and supervise the fac
tories, which can be used, and prob

poisonous war gas. Perhaps we un-

Germany and making her worth
less as a buffer between Russia
and western Europe. 915i#
