Sherlock Holmes And The Telegram From Hell, Meyer - B

             In 1916, Whitehall asks Holmes to go to the US to learn anything he can about the efforts being taken in Washington by the German Embassy to keep America out of the war. He recruits Watson and off they go. Their primary contact is Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who is having an affair with the German ambassador, and it is she who learns that he has forwarded to Mexico a telegram from Berlin - the one from hell. Holmes and Watson make for Mexico and make a copy of the infamous Zimmerman Telegram, and forward it to London. When it is made public in the US, the anger about the proposed German-Mexican alliance helps propel America into the war.
