Washington, Oct. 10.—A further ex-
position of Ambassador Bernstorff’s
activity in the United States was giv-
en out by Secretary Lansing today,
who made public three telegrams
which passed between the ambassador
and the German foreign office.
The statement follows:
The Secretary of State publishes
the following two telegrams from the
German foreign office to Ambassador
Bernstorff, in January, 1916:
“January 3—(Secret): The general
staff desires energetic action in re-
gard to the proposed destruction of
the Canadian Pacific railway at sev-
eral points with a view tp complete
and protracted interruption of traffic.
Captain Boehm, who is known on your
side, and shortly returning, has been
given instructions. Inform the mili-
tary attache and provide the necessary
funds. (Signed) Zimmerman.”
“January 26.—For Military Attache:
You can obtain particulars to per-
sons suitable for carrying on sabotage
in the United States and Canada from
the following persons: (1) Joseph
McGarrity, Philadelphia, Pa.; (2) John
P. Keating, Michigan Ave„ Chicago;
(3) Jeremiah O’Leary, No. 16 Park
Row, New York. One and two are
absolutely reliable and discreet. Num-
ber three is reliable, but not always
discreet. These persons were indict-
ed by Sir Roger Casement. In the
United States sabotage can be carried
out on every kind of factory for sup-
plying munitions of war. ’ Railway
embankments and bridges musn’t be
touched. The embassy must in no
circumstances be compromised, Sim-
ilar precautions must be taken in
regard to the Irish pro-German propa-
ganda. (Signed) Representative Gen-
eral Staff.”
The following from Ambassador
Bernstorff to the foreign office in Ber-
lin was sent in September, 1916:
“September 15.—Reference report
A. N. two hundred and sixty-six of
May 10, 191<>: The embargo confer-
ence in regard to those earlier fruitful
co-operation. Doctor Hale can give
information; is just about to enter

houses of congress favorable to Ger-
many and requests further report.
There’s no possibility of our being
compromised. Request telegraphic re-
ply.”

Washington, Oct. 10.—Germany’s
military strength now shows a clear
decrease for the first time since the
war began, according to a review bas-
ed upon data of the French general
staff made public here last night by
the French high commission. Worn
down and driven by the never ending
pounding of the allies on the western
front, the statement says, the Ger-
mans have made their supreme mili-
tary effort after drawing heavily upon
their inactive armies in the east and
calling out their 1918 and part of the
1919 reserves. Thus while the allies
have reached and are prepared to
maintain their full .strength while
awaiting the coming of America’s
great army, the enemy resources are
diminishing at the very moment when
the military situation demands- that
they increase.
“This shows,” concludes the state-
ment, “the decisive character attend-
ing the operations in 1918, w’hen three
great democracies, England, France
and America, will unite their entire
strength in attackfhg the enemy in
conformity with the only sound prin-
ciples of war.”
The commission’s statement issued
through the committee on public in-
formation, follows:
“Both Franco-German fronts on the
Aisne, 1917, and Verdun, 1916, have
already been compared and it has been
noted that they are practically of the
same length. It has been stated that
the German forces occupying them be-
fore the attack were equally compar-
able, twelve and fourteen divisions It
is known during the same period from
May to September the Germans en-
gaged twenty-five fresh divisions at
Verdun and that they have been oblig-
ed to engage forty-five on the Aisne.
“Furthermore, during an equal pe-
riod the French took 5,863 prisoners
at Verdun, and 8,853 on the Aisne.
This comparison included only a small
sector of the French front, but it
showed a very interesting result due
to the increase of the material forces
of the allies and the improved French
fighting methods since adopted by the
other armies, and also, as testified by
the German staff itself, apropos of
the battle of the Somme in explaining
their defeat ‘to the perfect use of tech-
nical methods.'
“If the above comparison is extend-
ed today to the entire Franco-English
front; if you consider that from April
15 to June 15, the enemy engaged 108
divisions against the Anglo-French
forces and finally if one bears in mind
that the successes of the British offen-
sive at Ypres obliged the enemy to
engage fifteen divisions during the
last ten days you can understand w'hy
the German losses on the western
front grew heavier. (They admit the
loss of 116,000 men during the month
of May, 140,000 men are estimated by
the allied staff during the month of
June, etc.) 1
‘This is because the fighting on the
western front as a matter of fact prac-
tically never ceases. Whether in the
French sectors or Verdun or the Aisne
or in the English sectors of Arras and
Ypres, the fighting is only discontin-
ued at one point to be taken up at an-
other. In addition to the big attacks
a quantity of carefully prepared small
actions which have been crowned with
success and of which the bulletins are
not able to give a clear idea in the
attrition of the Germans.
“This constant activity coinciding
with the weakness and inaction of the
Russians also explains why the Ger-
mans are obliged to maintain and suc-
ceed in effectually maintaining three
times larger forces on the French
Rout than on the Russian front. (In
the beginning of the summer ther$
were 156 German divisions to 700 kilo*

time since the beginning of the war a*
ciear decrease in the total strength oft
the German forces is on record.
“At the very time that her tota&
strength is diminishing Germany finds;-
herself obliged to increase h« Re-
serves on the French front to forty'
divisions with the sole aim of pposrld-r'
ing relay and resistance. Therefore^
just as the offensive strength of ther
Germans has been broken in the- auen>
fields on the Marne and the Yser arndi
in the trench warfare at Verdun h«r
facilities for maneuvering,, that, ifi tor
say, the
valuable
tive operations and that the reaction
of the internal events in Russia on
the eastern front has allowed Ger-
many to consider it during four
months as a veritable reserve for the
western front.
“It clearly appears at present that
the German staff realizes the critical
situation in which they found them-
selves following the Anglo-French
Somme success in 1916 and fear to
find their western front broken by the
allies in 1917. All the measures they
have taken have been defensive in
character intended to strengthen their . .
resistance in the race of Anglo-French valuab]e reserves from one front *1#
forces. Not content with declining to another’ is Prevented at preset

ed. The total cost is $1,150,400,000. 130 Austro-German and Bulgarian di-
visions. 77 of which were German -oh
the eastern front.) -
'It is known that the Russian win-
all so-
have transported to the
western front between January and
April a certain number of divisions
drawn from the eastern front. As this
did not suffice they have drawn the
picked men from each of their com-
panies on the eastern front and with
the assistance of the class of 1918 have
forced twenty-sexen new divisions,
twenty-six of which have appeared in
France.
“They have then exchanged their
picked troops of the eastern front for
the inferior ones of the western front
(Landwehr). Finally once the battle j
begun in order to hold out they have!
successively replaced number for num-
ber sixteen exhausted divisions from j
the French front by fresh divisions
from the eastern front.
However, in spite of using all these
methods of which the latter only had
been possible this year, due to trou-
ble made by the Russian revolution,
Germany has made her supreme mili-
tary effort. This is evidenced by the
following statements which should be
compared for future enlightenment:
“After the formation of the twenty-
seven divisions above mentioned Ger-
many had intended to create ten more
divisions with the regiments of the
series 601-602. Not only has she been
obliged to abandon the latter part of
her program in spite of calling out a
portion of the class of 1919, but she
has been obliged to break up several
newly formed regiments to re-enforce
her fighting units and for the first
still great powers of resistance whtalm
: will take all the allied forces to hce^pdi
’ She is capable of executing very xilpi^
orous local offensives. But bar
sources are diminishing at tte MVry
moment when the military situation,
requires that they should incraun.
“That is the principal poibCfi-
“On the other hand Brltfsh and!
French armies have reached their fnlB
, strength in men and material and are*
j capable with the held of Americar at*
| maintaining the enormous strength;
which they have gained to the end «C
the war. To this strength will be adtf-
the great American army, which!
will arrive as quickly as possible' as*
three years of war have demonstrated?
the value of time and the advantage?
of each day is gained.
“This shows the decisive character-
of operations of 1918 when three great:
democracies, England, France- and!
America will unite their entire-fj
strength in attacking the enemy im
conformity to the only sound prlndbtar
of war.”
