RL P. A MYSTERY,
HAS WILSON'S EAR
"The World" Uncovers an
Unknown Figure in Ger?
man Activities.
A "myStery of a fascinating sor*" is
offered by "The New fort World" this
morning in continuing its revel
of German activities in this country
nothing less than tnc doings of oie
"M. P.," who is supposed to have access
to thi? President and Secretary Lan?
sing, and to pass in their confidences
to the German agents, through "I.real
Agent Levy" (not identified) and John
Simon, a member of the firm of Simon
& Bros., cotton brokers, ,71-72 Cotton
Exchange. Concerning this mystery
"The World" says:
"The i iii' ipondence introduces as
the chief fignre of it a person of the
greatest prominence and influence in
the affairs of the United States env?
eniment, according to the correspon?
dence. He :- designated as *M. I*.,'
and, if the communications revealing
the extent of his resources are to he
credited, is privileged to w-alk in and
: the White House and the State
Department at Washington, and secure
from the President and the Secretary
of State secrets which he in turn com?
municates in the form of a 'conversa?
tion' destined to reach in a roundabout
way the officials of the German gov?
ernment.
1 1er the head of 'Grave Diplo
matic Secrets,' which rarely ever find
their way into print, might be cata?
logued the first communication which
is in the shape of memoranda to which
ached the terse comments of a
; diplomat, - horourl 11 fami'iar
with the subject, which, with other cor
i ? i ondence 11 lating to the Uei man
propaganda In this country, has come
ion of "The World.'
"The memoranda Is in the form of a
'conversation' with Legal Agent Levy
and John Simon, who, from the tenor
of the 'conversation,1 sppear to have
been 11,1 rusted ? of the most
subtle and important undertakings of
the German government in the United
States. The persons who figure in the
report of the 'conversation,' which,
obviou trie German Amb
? :.ir and Privy Councillor Albert in the
luna of copies of the original, are the
President of the United States ami
the Secretary of State, having super
vison over foreign ntfairs for the
I States government
"'?ne of the most extraordinary feat?
ures of the alleged 'conversation' be?
tween M. P. and the President is that
M. ". claims to have asked for anil re
1 from the President a 'candid,
confidential tintement in order to make
not oily his own position, but
al o necessarily the political oppor?
tunity.'
"The impressions which M. 1'. claimed
t-i have brought away from the Pre i
dent were of the most vital importance.
They a ? i e:
"1. The note m' protest to Ungland
will go m any event, whether Germany
answers satisfactorily ?>r not.
'"?. Should it be possible to settle
faetorily the Lusitania case, the
President will bmd himself to earrj

that it will be possible to bring this
plan to the front with the assistance

willingness to discuss the note to ('er
many sent on July 21) with M. P..
and 'eventually to so influence it that
there will be an agreement for its re?
ception,' and also to be ready to m
fluerec the p-ess 'through a wink.'
"The President is also repres? nted as
having 'openly declared that he could
hardly hope for a positive statement
that the submarine warfare would be
, discontinued.' The Pre
is of the opinion that Americans who
in the present situation take pi

Austro - Hungarian Em?
bassy Thinks Position
Best for Next Year.
OUTWITTED ENEMIES,
SEIZED RICH LANDS
Britain Rent from Within?Her
Allies Pressed for Money
?Teutons Calm.
Washington, Aug. 22. The Austro
Rungarian Embassy to-day pave out
for publication a review of the first
year of the war from the standpoint of
the Teutonic and Turkish allies. The
embasay came to the conclusion that
"the position of Austria-Hungary and
Germany is moat encouraging, from a
military, economic and financial point
of view," and that the second year of
the conflict had begun under "the most
promising auspices for the allies of
Central Furope."
The statement is, in part, as follows:
"Great Britain and her Allies were
the victims of an astoundingly gross
miscalculation when they embarked
upon an ailventurous undertaking in
the belief that an easy victory would
be theirs.
"In August. 1914, Germany nnd Aus?
tria-Hungary found themselves face to
face w-ith the most powerful coalition
in history. The military achievements
of the two centrai powers are, there?
fore, all the more remarkable.
"The raids and lncurs'ons of the
huge Russian armies on the eastern
front, like those of the French in Al
ii.-ivi' proved disastrous to the in?
vaders. Though outnumbered, the
Austro-Hungariani effectively under?
took, in August, 1 '.? i i, tne surprising
drive against Krasnik snd Lublin. This
movement succeeded ni 11.s u'm to cause
a s*r,,;;ir diversion.
"Incomplete Victors" in \Vi>'.
"The German advance in the west,
with Paria a- it- objective, failed of
swift realization because of the i?
anee offered by Belgium and 'he intor
Thp faillir.? to
reach the i lita! si 'he drat
drive caused keen diaappoirtment in
Germany, Hut it is moat unreasonable
to talk of a defeat of 'he Gcrmsna or
??:' a deciaive victory for the Triple Fn
ten'e on the Marne. The Germana fell
back on the line of the Aiane, where
they had prepared formidable intrench
menta. Notwithstanding frequent as?
saults by the Aoglo-Franco-Belgian
armiea, the Germant have never budged
from their positions. The result of the
military operations in Western Furope
can be defined si a German victory
whir1 ?be complete !
"No one conversant with the facts
can deny the military importance of
Antwerp and of the porl oi the ? nan
ill held by the Germans, The com?
mercial and industrial significance of
the tei ten ii no les?, imprei

The shortage of ammunition and other
