the
TURK AND TEUTON
Ambassador Morgenthau's Story of Great War Plots
By HENRY MOIttiKVniAl.
(Continued from Previous Issue.)
I have ortcn speculated on what
would have happened if the English
"battle cruisers, which pursued the Bres
lau and Goeben up to the mouth of
the Dardanelles had not been too gen
tlemanly to violate international law.
Buppoee they had entered tha strait,
attacked the Oerman cruiaeri In the
Marmora, and sunk them They could
have done this, and, knowing; all that
We know now. such an action would
have been Justified Not improbably
tha deatruetlon would have kept Tur
key out of the war For the nrrival of
thete cruisers made it inevitable that
Turkey, when the proper moment came,
ehould Join her forces with Germany
With them me I urmsn navy nmnr
(stronger than the Russian Black sea
fleet, and thus made It certain that
Hussla could make no attack on Con
stantinople, and thus they furnished
the means by which the Oerman navy,
If the occasion should arise, could ter
rorise the Turks. 1 am convinced that,
when the, judicious historian reviews
this war and Its consequences, ho will
ay that the passage of the strait by
these German ships made it Inevitable
that Turkey should Join Germany at
the moment that Germany desired her
assistance, and that it likewise sealed
the doom of the Turkish empire There
Were men In the Turkish cabinet who
perceived this, even then The story
was told In Constantinople --though I
ids not vouch for It as authentic, history
that the cabinet meeting at which
this momentous decision had been made
had not been altogether harmonious.
The grand vliler and DJemal, It was
aid, objected to the fictitious 'sale,"
snd demanded that it should not be
completed. When the discussion had
leached Its height F.nver, who was play
ing Germany's game, announced that
he had already practically completed
the transaction. In ths silence that
followed his ststement this young Na
poleon pulled out his pistol snd Isid it
m ths table.
"If anyone here wishes to question
this purchase ' hs said, quietly and
Icily, "I am ready to meet him
A few weeks after ths Goeben and
the iBreslau had taken up permanent
headquarters In the Boiphorui, DJavld
Bev. minister of finance, happened to
meet a distinguished Belgian jurist,
then in Constantinople
"I have terrible news for you.' said
the sympathetic Turkish statesman.
The Germans have captured Brus
sels" The Belgian, a huge figure, more
thsn six feet high, put his arm sooth
ingly upon the shoulder of the diminu
tive Turk.
"I have even more terrible news ff
you," he said, pointing out to the
tresm where the Goeben and the Rree
ktu lay anchored "The Germans have
captured Turkey."
CHATTER VI
Wsngenheim Tells the Ams-lcsn Am
bsssador How ths Kalssr
Started ths War.
But there was one quarter In which
this transaction produced no appreci
able gloom That was the German em
bassy. This great "success" fairly In
toxicated the impressionable Wangcn
heim and other happenings now aroused
his furor Teutonlcuj to a fever heat.
The Goeben ami the Breslau arrived
almost at the same time that the Ger
mans captured Liege. Nsniur and other
Belgian towns. And now followed the
Oerman sweep Into Kranc ie and the ap
parently triumphant rush to l'arls In
all these happenings YVanganhetm, like
the militant Prussian that be was, saw
the fulfillment of a 40 years' dream.
We were all still living In the sum
mer embassies along the Bosporous.
Oarmsny hsd a beautiful park, which
ths sultan had personally presented to
ths kaiser's government; yet for snnte
reason Wangenhelm did not nosm to
fifty his headquarters during these
summer days A little guard house
tood directly In front of hie embassy,
on the street within 20 feet of the
rushing Bojpornus, and in front of this
was a stone bench This bench was
Eroperly a resting place for the guard,
ut Wangenhelm seemed to have a
strong liking for It I shall always keep
In my mind the figure of this Ger
man dlp'omat, In those exciting days
before the Marne, sitting out on this
little bench, now and then Jumping up
for a stroll back and forth In front of
his house Everybody passing from
Constantinople to the northern auburbs
had to pass along this road, snd even
ths Russian and trench diplomats fre
quently went by, stiffly Ignoring, of
course, the triumphant ambassadorial
figure on his stone bench I sometimes
think that Wangenhelm est there for
the express purpose of puffing his cigar
moke In their direction. It all remind
ed me of the scene In Schiller's Wll
helm Tell, where Tell sits In ths moun
tain pass, with his bow and arrow at
his side, walling for his Intended vlo
tlme. Gessler. to go by
,"Here through this deep defile he needs
must pass;
There lesds no other rosd to Kuss
nacht "
Wangenhelm would also buttonhole
his friends, or those whom he regsrded
as his ft lends, snd have bis little Jolli
fications over German victories. I no
ticed that he stationed himself there
only when the German armies were
winning; If news came of a reverse.
Wangenhelm was utterly Invisible This
led me to remark that he reminded
trie of a toy weather prophet, which
Is always outside the nox when the
weather la fine hut which retires with
in when storms are gathering. Wangen
helm appreciated my little Joke as
keenly as the rest of the diplomatic
et.
In those early days, however, the
weather for the German ambassador
was distinctly favorable. The good
fortune of the German armies so ex
cited him that he was sometimes led
Into Indiscretions, snd his exuberance
one day caused him to tell me cer
tain facts which, 1 think, will always
have great historical value, lie dis
closed precisely bow and when Ger
many had precipitated this war Today
his revelation of this secret looks like
a most monstrous indiscretion, but we
must remember W'engenhelm'e state of
mind at th time. The whole world
then believed that Varta was doomed
and Wangenhelm reflected this atti
tude In his frequent declarations that
the war would be over In two or three
months. The whole German enterprise
was evidently progressing according to
program
1 have already mentioned that the
German ambassador had left, for Ber
lin soon after the assassination of the
MISSOl RI PA COTC RAILROAD.

grand duke. a:.d he now reveal.-. I the
cause of hla sudden disappearance The
kaiser, he told me. had summoned him
to Berlin for an imperial conference.
This meeting took place at I'otsdam
on July Mh The kaiser presided and
nearly ail the important umbassadors
attended Wangenhelm himself was
summoned to give assurance about Tur
key and enlighten his associates gen
erally on the situation in Constantl
nople, which wss then regarded aa al
most the pivotal point In the impend
ing war. In telling me who attended
this conference Wangenhelm used no
names, though he specifically said that
among them were the facts ure so
important that I quote his exact words
In the German which he used "die
Jlaupter des Generalataba und der Ma
rine" (The heada of the general staff
end of the navy), by which I have as
sumed that he meant Von Moltke and
Von Tlrpltz The great hankers, rail
road directors, and the captains of Ger
man Industry, all of whom were aa
necessary to German wsr preparations
as the army Itself! also attended.
Wangenhelm now told me that the
gaiSer solemnly put the question to
each man in turn Are you ready for
war?" All replied "yes" except the
financiers They ssld thst they must
hae two weeks to sell their foreign
se, urittes and to make loans. At that
time few people had looked upon the
Sarajevo tragedy as something that
would Inevitably lead to war This con
ference. Wangenheim told me, took all
precautions thai no such suspicion
should be arouned. It decided to give
the bankers time to readjust their
finances for the coming war. and then
the several members went quietly back
to their work or atsrted on vacation?
The kaiser went to Norway on his
yacht, Von Bethmann Hollwag left for
a rest, and Wangentieitu returned to
Constantinople
In telling me about this conference
Wangenhelm. of course, admitted tha
Germany had precipitated Die war I
think that lie was rather proud of the
Whole performance, proud that Germany
had gone about the matter in so meth
odical and far-seeing a way. and es
pecially proud that be himself bad been
Invited to participate In so momentous
a gathering. I have often wondered
Why he revealed to me ho momentous
a secret, and I think that perhaps Iho
real reason was his excessive vanity
his desire to show me how close he
stood to Ihe Inner counsels of his em
peror and th part that he had played
In bringing on this conflict Whatever
the motive, this Indiscretion certainly
had the effect Of showing ins who were
really the guilty parties In this mon
strous crime. The several blue, red
and yellow books which flooded Europe
during the few months following the
outbreak, and the hundreds of docu
ments which were Issued by German
propaganda attempting to establish
Germany's Innocence, have never made
the slightest Impression on me For my
not based on susplclops or belief or the I
study of circumstantial data. I oo not
have to reason or argue about the mat
ter. I know The conspiracy that has
caused this greatest of human trage
dlea was hatched by the kaiser and his
Imperial crew at this Potsdam confer
ence of July 1914. One of the chief
participants, flushed with his ttluinpn
nt the apparent lUCCeas of the plot, told
me the details with his own mouth.
Whenever 1 hear people arguing about
Ihe responsibility for this war or read
the clumsy and lying excuses put forth
by Germany, I almply recall the burly
figure of Wangenhelm as he appeared
that August afternoon, puffing away at
a huge black cigar, snd giving me his
account of this historic meeting. Why
waste any time discussing the matter
after that?
The impel mi conference took place
July 6th, and the Siberian ultimatum
was sent on July li That la Just about
two weeks' Interval which the finan
ciers had dotutnded to complete their
plans All the great stock exchanges
of tho world show that the German
bankers profitably used this Interval
Their records disclose that stocks were
being sold in large quantities and thst
prices declined rapidly At that time
the markets were somewhat pussled at
this movement hut Wangenhelm s ex
planation cleats up any doubts thai
may still remain Germany was chang
ing her securities Into cash for war
purposes. If anyone wishes to, verify
Wangenhelm. I would suggest that he
examine the quotations of the New
York stock market for these two his
toric weeks, lie will find thst there
Wre astonishing slumps In prices, es
pecially on the stocks that had an In
ternational market Between July 5
and July SI, I'nlon Pacific dropped
from lSMii to 127'i. Baltimore ei Ohio
from m to Si, Vnlted States Steel
from 61 to MVk, Canadian raolflc from
ll4 to ISf.iv. and Northern Pacific from
IU to I"" At that time the high
protectionists were blaming the Sim
mons I'uderwood tariff act as respon
sible for this fall In values, while other
critics of the administration attributed
It to Ihe federal reserve act--which had
not vet been put into effect. How lit
tle Wall street brokers and the tlnan
cial experts realised that the Imperial
conference, which had been held In
Potsdam and presided over by Ihe kai
ser, was the real force that was then
depressing the market.

UNCLE WIGU1LY AND

"Now do be careful, won't you. I'ncle
Wlgglly?' said Nurse Jsne Fussy
Wuszy. the muskrat lady housekeeper,
as she ssw. one morning, the bunny rab
bit gentlemen putting on his tall, silk
hat.
"Careful? Careful about what, may
It please you?" he eased, sort of like
an old history book, but still very
polite.
"Be careful about what kind of ad
ventures you have," went on Miss
Kuziy Wusay. Tion't let any more
bad Chugalugs catch you."
"I won't If I can help It." laughed
I'ncle Wlgglly. ' I thought you meant
(hat I was to be careful about putting
my hat on straight as you are with
yours. Oh. yes' I'll be careful. And If
a Chugalug. or anything like that

You remember, in the story before

1'mie Wlgglly started off oyer tiie

he might have a nice adventure, and
surely enough, he did I mesn he bad
an adventure, whether It wae nice or
not. I'll iet you tell me after it Is ell
over.
On and on went the bunny rabbit
and pretty noon he came to where a
big chestnut tree stood all by Itself In
a field This was one of the few chest
nut trees that had not been spoiled by
the blight. It still had plenty of nuts
on It. but the nuts were fattened In
side big prickly burrs, with sharp
points all over them Jack Frost bad

It was psst their time. However, you

of the tree "More bullets. I see. Well
I don't know that I shall need to have
you shoot snyone for me todsy."
There sre no bullets on my tree, ss
there are on the oak tree," said the bit
chestnut tree. "At least 1 don't call
them bullets.
"What do you call them?" asked
Uncle Wlgglly. curious like.
"Swords" was the answer of the

like a flickering lightning bug. 'J don't

"Just you wait." spoke the cheetnut
tree For If there is a language of
flowers, there must be one of trees I
think
So Uncle Wlccll was lust savtntr
good bye to the tall chestnut tree and
wondering how it could be that there
might be swords on It, when, sll of a

CHAPTER NO. 6.
THE TOUCH OF A ROSL
The car stopped in front of the house
in which Mrs Deane and Elisabeth
lived. It was of brownstone and old
fashioned. It wasn't an "apartment;"
It was really a "flat." There was no
hall service, and you had to walk up
stairs But the rooms, when you were
in them, were comfortable and large
and cheery. There wae sunshine and
an open fireplace for winter, "which
make up for almost anything," as Mrs.
Deane ueed to eay. When the evening!
grew cold In the autumn she would alt
before the blaze, Elisabeth on a cuehlon

had sent, the box of roses he hlmse'f
had bought for her, "with Ills own
money."
Mis. Deane opened the door for him.
She knew at once what the parcels

He grinned at her adorably. Then:
"Where's Klizabeth?" he asked. "I

of the place. He loved the chintzes,
with their pretty colors: the tea table.
and the lots of books. He liked to look
at Mrs. Deane. She seemed always to
