GERARD IS CRITICISED
LONDON. Feb. S
Interesting additions to tho Von I'apen
correspondence are contained In a par
llnmentnry paper Issued last nlsht. Tho
paper gives tho translations of nil the
documents taken from Captain Frnnz von
Pnpen, 06 former Clermnn mllltnry at
tncho nt Washington, and the full entries
of his bank nccoimt with fac similes of
checks nnd stubs.
A letter dated merely "Washington,
Tuesday," and signed "It. Hntzfeld" Is
one of tho documents now for tho first
time divulged.
trrlnce Hermann von' Halzfoldt-
Trnchenberg Is counsel of the German
nmbnssy nt Washington. 1
This letter contains tho following'
"I telephoned today to Albert. The Am
bassador. In my opinion, should necrtho
less Issuo a statement to enlighten tho
native Americans and pro-Germans nnd
lend their thoughts Into right channels
Tho peopl6 are really so stupid; besides,
this means wo can openly dcfcnd( tho
Americans In the Adams, ltodley. who aro
Implicated In this nffnlr."
Other letters obviously refer to Major
Langhonip, formerly United States mlll
tnry nttncho In llerlln, who wns sum
moned home early In 1913. These lcttois
arc from Coloi el Herwarth, of the Ger
man Gcncrnl Stun. Ono letter to Captain
von Pnpen says:
"I strongly advise you to see Lang
horne. Of course jou know h Is re
turning. Kvcrybody regrets his depart
ure. He Is iiulto exceptionally popular
with every ono here
"The bearer of this letter, Mr. Lycll
Fox, can give you news of Berlin. He
Is rellnblo and understands how shame
fully dependent on Hnglnnd the United
States have become, Tro forma, of
course, he Is n neutral, I think there
will soon be n big change In Amcrlcnn
opinion,"
Another Herwarth letter, dated March
22, says:
"I hope you nnd Boy-L'd received all
my letters, which I forwarded to ou
through Langhorne nnd Fox. I hope the
people over there will gradually hoc rea
son. I am suro you nnd Boy-F.d will
do jour share to contribute to this re
sult. I shall do all I can by Influencing
tho reporters, who always come to see
me."
A letter from Hdwnrd Lycll Fox, dated
Berlin, July 23, says:

Allies' lines in northern France
nnd Belgium ns the first move of
their new offensive. Hundreds of
new guns from the Krupp works

reported by Allied nvintors.
French guns, in reply to the Ger

Pnris nlso reports the destruction
of a German blockhouse between
the Oise and Alsnc.
Rumnnian participation in the
wnr is agitating both Allies and
the Central Empires. Germany, it
is reported, is ready to make a
military demonstration to counter
act the Allies' diplomacy at Buch

London that the Central Empires
have dispatched n menncing ulti

German troops continue concen

Bulgnrs also arc there in force.
Turks arc massing on the Ru

Enforcement of Com

LONDON, Feb. 8. Four more groups
of Ungllsh nrm recruits, enlisted under
the Iird Derby sjstcm. "began reporting
to the colors todn. These men will not
be ready for active service until summer.
It Is estimated that the British Army will
be Increased by approximately a quarter
of n tnllllon men by tho calling out of
these recruits
This makes eight croups of recruits that
tlnue to present themselves.
There wns n big rush of Derby volun
teers today to enroll thcmselyk-s beforo
the conncrlptlon law goes Into effect on
Thursday. H nitrating before Thursday
the lecriills snc themselves from tho
stigma of draft.
Special nppenls have been Issued by Sir
Charles Wnkefield, tho Lord Mayor of
London, who has published n list of
famous London corps with vvhldh men
may enroll. Sir Chnrlcs Is anxious that
the famous London cglmcnts. which
hnvo distinguished themselves In the first
year of the wnr, shall bo kept nt their full
HtlCllgtll.
hnlf of many other Amcrlcnn correspond
ents here, that the misunderstandings
between our cuuutrles nre due to the
poor advice and vvurpcit viewpoint of tho
American Kmbassy In Berlin. President
Wilson ennnot know the German view
point under tho existing circumstances."
Doctor Dumba, tho former Austro-Itun-garlan
Ambassador nt Washington, nhoso
recall was requested by the Amcrlcnn
Government September 23, wrote from
Lenox September 1;
"Everything hns ended happily In
In Washington, and the people already
think they henr the bells of pcaco i lug

It Just shows what a good etTcet Is pro
duced by good words and u light hand."
