The Ambassador in Germany ( Gerard ) to the Secretary of State
Berlin , August 9, 1914, 2 p.m.

[Telegram]
Germany wants permission to send telegrams in cipher via Tuckerton wireless station which is in connection with Eilvese station here in Hanover. I suggest while waiting this permission, if you give it unconditionally, for the moment, Germany allowing me to send you daily one long despatch in cipher or English and that you be allowed to answer it in same manner. Send Tennessee, Rotterdam. Germany wants to communicate their Embassy at Tokyo. Better keep this communication your hands so we can keep this line open via Tuckerton.
