Arthur Zimmermann had no idea that "Blinker"
Hall had read his secret message. But now that
Hall had read it, what could he do with this
information? On one hand, he believed that
President Wilson, faced with the information in
the telegram, would declare war on Germany. On
the other hand, to share the telegram with Wilson
would surely alert Berlin that the British had been
reading their secret messages. As he walked
back to his office, Hall considered ways that he
could share the intelligence in the Zimmermann
telegram and establish its authenticity without
letting Berlin know that Room 40 had intercepted
and read hundreds of their secret messages.
