I doubt this will remain a mystery for long..

    Yes;  I doubt this will remain a mystery for long...today's cryptographers, aided by computers ought to be able to crack this code in reasonably short order..

  A WW1 message normally should be a "piece of cake" for them..

i caught that article too. very interesting stuff.
i dont know alot about codes and cyphers, but i find it all very interesting to read about.
i'd like to know what it says too, but i'd bet it a key for decoding messages , being is in 5 letter groups.

 There's a guy on this board from Florida who probably knew what it said before they opened the capsule.  ;)
