enough in itself to keep an envoy at
his wits ends. Frightened women and
children OF nations hostile to France
must be protected or at least were con-
WINGED that they must be. Then there
were questions of state to be handled.
Mr.. Herrick Immediately took ad-
vantage OF offers of assistance from
American friends In Paris and organ
lied a large force as best he could.
There were several committees formed
for relief work. He and Mrs. Her
rick worked day and night. They
placed their motor cars In service. They
opened their house and refurnished
1t and here they gave the homeless
lodging and supplied food to many.
They used large amounts OF their own
money in their work. Both fell Ill,
but kept on working. Finally Mr..
Herrick remained the only ambsssa-
dor In Paris.
Mr.. Sharp and Robert Bacon. a for
mer United States ambassador, luck
lily arrived In time to be of assistance,
but Mr.. Herrick did the principal work
and his name will figure in history
with that OF Washburne, American

The story Of Mr.. Herricks work In

y J took up his duties in Berlin and
\ rented the Schwabach palace al
$4,000 a year, besides spending
several thousands more in refitting
undoubtedly he had little thought fol-
other than magnificent receptions and
dinners. the usual things Uncle Sam
always expects his diplomatists to dc
and to pay for out of their own
pockets.
But the month OF August found this
same magnificent home filled with a
mob Of angry. complaining. frightened
tourists. unreasonably demanding the
impossible. Mr.. Gerard met them
with calm patience. He stood In his
office day and night. constantly II
seemed. giving words of advice and
cheer. Several times he even accom-.
panied trainloads OF Americans to Rot
terdam just to see that they got
through all right. In addition to these
duties he had charge OF the interest
OF England, Russia, Japan, France, Bel
GUM. Servia and Montenegro.
His efforts were misunderstood by
a section of the German press, which
saw in his assiduity In getting Ameri-
cans home the threat OF war by the
United States against Germany.
Yet the bulk OF Germans watched
American efficiency with admiration,
and Mr.. Gerard was acclaimed as a
worthy representative of a great neu-
trail country.
In Belgium Brand Whitlock, our min
lister. found himself in the actual thea
ter OF war operations First he had
to meet swarm of frightened persons
caught In the rapid advance of the
German army and escort them to Ant
werp. Then came the occupation of
the Belgian capital. Undoubtedly Mr..
Whitlock should have most of the
credit for preventing scenes of vio-
lence In Brussels. He accompanied
the burgomaster, M. Max, to meet the
German conqueror, General SAKE Won
Arnim. II he did not actually. as
told In some cabled stories, take Brus-
sells under American protection" yet
he undoubtedly had much to do with
arranging the terms of surrender and
In calming the populace. The Bruxel-
lois swear by Mr.. Whitlock now.
In Vienna Frederick C. Penfield. like
Mr.. Gerard. had to look out for the
citizens Of Russia, England, Japan,
Belgium, France, Servia and Montene-
gro. as well as his own countrymen.
His beautiful home was converted to
the needs OF charity.
Henry Van Dyke, minister to Hol.
land, and Thomas Nelson Page. am
bassador to Italy, also felt the heavy
strain and acquitted themselves cred
itably.
1t is undoubted that one effect OF
the war will be to raise the estimation
Of American diplomats and diplomacy
abroad. The peoples of Europe realize
the heavy debt they all owe to Amer
lean representatives and when the
time comes to settle this huge and
dreadful war the ambassadors OF
will have much to do with
the difficult task of arranging the
terms of peace.
