Transcription: Krabbe (a Dane) from Geneva has been staying with me for a week. He has been the officer in Geneva who has been most concerned with Danzig questions for the past couple of years, and had never seen Danzig. His visit is a purely personal one of course, and Krabbe had been frequently urged by Bottcher and Greiser and other members of the Danzig delegation to visit the City.   Böttcher dined with us the first night after Krabbe's arrival and made use of his first private conversation with Krabbe to complain that he had not been consulted about the visit and knew nothing about it until that day; he said that he supposed he had come up to see the Opposition and proceeded then to attack the High Commissioner. This all made an extremely bad impression on Krabbe and was another confirmation of Böttcher's stupidity. On the same occasion Böttcher had a conversation with myself, in the course of which I said that I proposed very formally and very seriously in my next interview with President Greiser to warn him of the dangers of continuing his present policy of ignoring and defying the League. (Böttcher had said to Krabbe that there would be great difficulty in carrying out the Council recommendations with regard to the Ehrenschutz law, which is of course the most vital principle decided by the Council.)   Since that night the Danzig people have done everything possible to impress Krabbe, and beyond bringing him also into contact with the Poles I have naturally given them a free hand. Greiser has been absent attending Nazi Party meetings in Germany.

Transcription: Dined with Ziehm, who was President of the Senate for several years. As we alighted from the car four young men converged, examined us & then withdrew. Police or Nazi. Ziehm who is about 70 & for many years a distinguished Prussian official, is no longer "in politics." He gives the impression of being cultivated & "well-bred"— while most, if not all, of the present government are obviously parvenu. Not that that would matter if they had political balance and commonsense. The dinner party was small Count von Krakov whose old moated castle near Putzig (now in Poland) has been occupied by his family for 800 years. A typical Junker, rather boorish in fact, and with very limited interests. His wife a striking contrast, vivacious & intelligent - a daughter of the von Belows. Fräulein Schmidt, fiancee to Ziehm's son  Günther Ziehm , has just spent a year in T.C.D. & brought messages from friends such as the Misses Cunningham.   Von Paseck had a new story. The King of Italy interviewed was asked what would happen to him if Italy won the war. "I suppose I would become the Negus"; "And if Italy lost?" "Then I might become the King of Italy". von Poseck, just back from Warsaw where he has many connections is certain that Beck's days as Foreign Minister are numbered, and that there will be no further development towards closer Polish-German relations.

Transcription: of a kind for social affairs, she is rather too pressing in her invitations. Her present husband is a timber merchant who lived at Odessa for most of his life. She knew Bishop Count O'Rarke  Rourke  in Petrograd and he dines  with them once a week to talk Russian and play his quite impossible game of bridge. 31st October.   Di Lieto, Italian Consul General, has just called to say good-bye. He had been appointed Minister in Ecuador but declined, and now goes to Rome. He has been a pleasant participator in our little society here. A rather good type of Italian diplomat & gentleman & one of the more intelligent members of the Consular-diplomatic corps in the Free City.   Talking today of he dangers of the present Danzig situation, he said that the machinery of the League might be difficult to put in motion but might be even more difficult to stop. And he felt the same about the present League-Italian situation.

Transcription: - 3 - Hamborn, Mittwoch 15. Septb. 1915. Sophie u. ich machten heute nachmittag unsern Besuch bei Frau Dr. M. Es war ein schwerer Gang. Kaum 4 Jahre ist d. Arme verheiratet gewesen und nun schon Witwe! Alle hatten sie über den  Zustand ihres Mannes zu täuschen verstanden. Unvorbereitet erfuhr sie in Bonn das Schreckliche. Dazu d. Sorge um d. Zukunft. Das mag schwer werden, sich wieder in bescheidene Verhältnisse zu fügen. - Von Essen geht d. Anregung aus, ein Heim für Kriegerwaisen zu gründen. Was nutzt da ein Waisenhaus für so viele Waisen? In Wesel hatten sich in d. vorig. Woche 150 Landsturmleute zu stellen, Leute d. ältesten Jahrgangs. Sie ließen 1100 Kinder in der Heimat zurück! Samstag, 18, Septb. Im Bereich des VII. Armeekorps ist es Vorschrift, daß ein jeder Inländer einen von der Verwaltungsbehörde ausgestellten Erlaubnisschein zur Ausübung der Jagd besitzen muß. Für jeden Kreis

Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
