with the goods already there (Shanghai), because if, as is to be

expected, the Suez Canal is closed, delivery of goods from England

will cease entirely, and the English will have the experience that

instead of damaging the German trade as they intended, the damage

will recoil on their own heads. One can already say that English trade is suffering more through the war than German is."

20th. April, 1915.

"I received on the 15th. instant your letter dated 3rd.

of March, Finance No. 280 and note with regret that a whole row

of letters has failed to reach you, notwithstanding the fact that all correspondence has been sent at least three times by different routes. As the oldest letters date from 5th. December it is hardly to be expected that you will now receive the originals. I send these again via America and will send copies via Switzerland. This latter route seems to me the safest, as the route via Siberia has

apparently become unsafe, as your last letters to Messrs. C. Schmid-Wahlgren were all opened by the Russian Censor at Tormen. I would recommend you the following routes:- Originals by German Post, first copy to Herrn Ludvig Nystrom, Gothenburg. This is a second firm belonging to Herrn C. Schmid-Wahlgren, be- -Ceuse I anticipate that the Russian Censors opened the letters because they guessed there was a German behind C. Schmid-Wahlgren, not without right. There are of course no Russians at the Frontier, but the English will have placed people there to hold up the German correspondence. The second copy please sent to St. Gallen. I will not in future make use of covering addresses, as you do not

wish me to do so*.
