Ing been cut by the enemy, many
utterly false reports have been circu-
lated. AS an example Of how complete
is the isolation, the death of Mrs Wood
row Wilson was not known at the Ger
man capital when / left there on Thurs
day night.
Many Of the stories solemnly circu-
lated broadcast regarding happenings
within Germany are absolutely false.
One of the most cruel is that the
Socialistic delegation in the Reichstag
has been executed, 100 OF them, by the
order OF the Kaiser. because they par
ticipated in anti-war demonstrations
This story also said that Deputy Lieb-
knecht. leader OF the Socialists. was
summarily shot by a firing squad after
he had refused to join his regiment and
that Rosa Luxembourg, whose stories
OF alleged cruelties to the German COM
mon soldier by his superior officers re-
suited in her arrest some months ago,

members OF the party to rush to the
colors and TO aid in saving the Father
land.
There has not been an anti-war So
cialist demonstration in part of Berlin
since three days before the first declara-
ton OF war. 1t was not until then that
the Socialists realized that war was in
evitable. Since then they have acct pied
the outcome and have Loyalty rallied to
the aid OF their country. This last
demonstration, however, was broken up
by the police. The mounted officers
charged the crowds without regard for
any one. My foot was severely crushed
by being trampled by police horse.
Another story given circulation Is that
Ambassador Gerard has attended meet
ings held to celebrate German victories.
This Is utterly without foundation. The
American Ambassador has taken abso-
lutely no part in any happening o. a
political nature. He ana Mrs. Gerard
have been working eighteen hours
day caring for the Americans VINO are
in Germany, and who. so far nave been
unable 10 get out OF the country.
