effects of Dr. George Barthelme, Ger
man newspaper correspondent from

a letter written on the letterhead of

] been signed by him. The letter, which
! was dated May SI, 1915, follows, in
j part:
“The aim of the enclosed docu
ments is to terminate the war as
| quickly as possible to the advantage
I of Germany. For this purpose the
! widest publicity is desirable. 1 am try
ing to bring the documents to the no
tice of the Oerman-Americans, not
with a view to publication in the Ger
man-American press, for that would
look like suing for peace, but in tin
hope that some Oerman-Americans,
j through their relations with non-Ger
man papers, may be able to aid in
giving the subject ‘he desired public
ity.”
A check stub belonging to Bar
theline was found which showed that
he had paid the Postal Telegraph
company over $5,300 for messages.
Some of the checks were marked
“cable.”
