representative of the Deutsche bank,
the sum of $1,700,000, with Instruc
tions from former Ambassador Bern
storff that It was to be held subject
to the disposal of Adolph Paven-
stedt, the state department here
made public a series of telegrams
between Bernstorff and former For
eign Minister Jsgow respeotlnj this
sum of money.
The messages, signed by voU
Bernstorff and by von Jagow, then
foreign minister, show that Jl.TOO,

"leading political personality" In
Prance, and waa counted upon to
bring peace. They were exchanged
In February, 1916, when the French
socialists threatened to overthrow
the government and there was talk
of France being tired of war and
dissatisfied with the part played by
the allies.
The wily Bernstorff ' cautioned
against expressions In the German
press concerning Internal French
changes, suggesting that German ap
proval might upset all his plana. He
also was careful not tfl put down the
name of the political
personality,
gaynR a verbal reoort would
be
made as soon as a trustworthy mes
senger could be sent. ,

Jagow, asks for the 11.700.000 be
sent to New York to loan to a "lead
ing political personality In an ene
my country" to bring about peace. -
Jagow's reply (No. 150) agreed
to the proposal, but tells Bernstorff
to drop the matter If It applies eith
