GERARD KEPT RUSY

Continued from page One

Honed there to listen to all conversa-j Hons. Americans used to say that j

within half an hour after they made iny Important remark about Qermany and the United States it -was known at the Foreign Office or General Staff. Of the numerous incidents which occurred here one is typical of how overtealous some of the spies were, especially some who did not understand English perfectly. One day S. B. Conger, of Grand Rapids, Mich., chief of The Aeoclated Press, and Philip M. Powers, of Boston, also of that organization, and I

wm llrsif fm a tnaatlnc nf ttlA War !

TTsssau tiviu v uvMe vs. Press Bureau to the Adlon. Conger 'and I stopped in the lobby to talk about the censorship. Both of us were having difficulty in getting our dispatches past the Foreign Office censorship and we discussed means of protesting against the stupidity of the officials. No other subject was discussed, although at the time Berlin was aroused over the possibility of a break with the United States. A few hours afterward I saw Joseph

C Rw nt Rnnf-nn first erfrv of

the embassy. Ambassador Gerard was at the time in New York... Grew said Count Montgelas, chief of the American division of the Foreign Office, had asked him whether the United States was about to break diplomatic rela

tions, because "Mr. Conger and Mr.

Ackerman had stated that afternoon that they were packing their trunks to be ready for the break." Street Only 8afe Place. Some one of the numerous agents at

the Adlon had reported his version of our conversation; After this incident

whenever Conger and I met to talk about anything we selected the middle of the street! In Berlin I lived on the top floor of an apartment house in Wllmersdorf, a quiet suburb of Berlin. When I moved In the apartment underneath was occupied by a German family, which moved ?ut very suddenly after the Sussex was torpedoed. A few days later I read on the name plate of the apartment the card of the new occupant. His name was German, but the card was his former business card which he used in Petrograd. One evening T returned from the office and was dining on the balcony,

such as are built on all Berlin apart' ments. After I was there a few minutes talking to my wife, a ten-year-old boy, son of the couple living under

neath our apartment, ran into his fath

er's study and shouted: "Oh, daddy, that man's home upstairs." In a few seconds the whole family was sitting on the balcony underneath. I found out afterward that they knew English as well as I did. One day Ambassador Gerard received through the mail a letter addressed In a plain envelop containing a spy's report on Gerard addressed to the Ministry of War. The report covered several typewritten pages and narrated about everything the Ambassador had done and said during the previous week. It was so accurate that the Ambassador thought he might have dictated it himself. What Mr. Gerard did with the letter finally I do not know, but he said at the time that he believed the report was sent to him intentionally although there were evilences that it might have been placed in the wrong envelope by the writer. ,Work of Code Experts. TJrurcode experts in the Foreign Office and military bureaus were considered experts in any code in the world. Although the United States used three codes it was known that at least two were known to the German government but the State Department in sending dispatches usually mixed the codes so that any one knowing two of Ihem or even the third, could not decipher the telegram. That was, howtver, the intention of the State Department, but frequently dispatches were lent to the Embassy from Washington ind then made public verbatim as they were sent. Because this had happened several times the Ambassador feared the government could read all his telegrams,

so he adopted the policy of sending all Important confidential communications through the United State government's private mail pouches, which were sent to the United States weekly by courier. President Wilson, Colonel House and Secretary Lansing were thus in confidential communication despite the vigilance of the German government. When the Berlin code experts succeeded In deciphering dispatches these were rompnrd with other information from the United States and in this way the government spy system had a complete check on all important reports.

Something must be done to adjust, the high cost of living it's not all up to the grocer and butcherit's up to every business man in the United States who has any patriotic spirit in him to adjust his busi

ness and his profits in a way that he can sell to the buying public his merchandise at as small a cost as possible, and we go at the head of the list in Richmond in lowering our prices during the entire period of the present war. This is not an advertisement to make you hurry to our store to buy furniture it's published for the purpose of letting the public know that we feel it is our patriotic duty to the United States of North America, and its people, to sell them our merchandise at as low a price as we possibly can. Up to this time we have been opera

ting our business on a 20 margin of profit, but after today we are going to cut our profits in one-half and during the entire war we will operate on a 10 margin of profit. This will cause a reduction on every article of furniture in our store and we defend ourselves against anyone who says we will not carry this new plan to its fullest. Our hopes are that other merchants in this city will follow our plan and we would be highly pleased to see advertisements from them making a similar announcement Now we are doing our part and it's up to the people to do their part, and the way for you to do is to save money. Don't spend next week's salary this week, but instead save a little and spend last week's salary this week. Pay cash for your goods during these war times and you'll profit in the end.
