  This photograph of G.S. (George Sylvester) Viereck is related, news-wise, to another photo on this page, that of Mrs. R. P. (Richard P.) Stegler. Both George Viereck and Richard Stegler were entwined in an alleged German spying scheme to obtain fake U.S. Passports in February of 1915. – The New York Times
