GERARD EXPLAINS
u. S. SALES ABROAD
Tells Germany His Country May
Have Goods if Ii Can
Get Them.
fBy C.bl. to Tho Tribune. ]

London, Dec. 4.-"The Times says:
"The American Ambassador in Berlin,
James w. Gerard, it is reported had
conversation at Munich with a repre-
sentative of the 'Munchnerneueste
Nachrichten.' In reply to the German
journalists question Of how the de-
livery of war material to Germany's
enemies was to be reconciled with
President Wilson's declaration of neu-
trality at the beginning of the war, the
ambassador said he had no personal
knowledge of such deliveries, but that
if the reports we're true there was no
offence against international law.
Private firms in America would send
the same goods to Germany If they
were ordered and if the German cruis-
ers could catch the ships that were
taking contraband of war TO England
they would seize them as prizes" The
ambassador added, perhaps rather un-
kindly that "0f course, the transport
of goods to Germany was more difficult
and the risk greater"

time advised the American Ambassa-
dor, who is charged with German in
terests in France, that members of

protest, a number of those serving in
French ambulances have been released

DON JAIME TAKES
REFUGE WITH SWISS
Spanish Pretender Given Choice
of Leaving Austria or Stay
ing as Prisoner.

Paris, Dec. 3.-"L'Eclair" declares
in its issue to-day that Don jaime, of
Bourbon, the Spanish pretender, ad-
dressed an appeal to his partisans
some time ago to side with France in
the war This came to the knowledge
of the Austrian authorities, and as
Don jaime lives in Austria he was
placed under close arrest in his castle
at Frohsdorf. The immediate excuse
for this action was the fact that Don
jaime had been a colonel in the Rus.
sian army.
An appeal was made to Emperor
Francis Joseph, but the Emperor said
he could do nothing in the matter.
Don jaime persisted in his efforts
to gain his freedom, and was told
finally that he could either remain a
prisoner in Austria until the end Of
the war or leave the country. He chose
the latter course, and is now in
Switzerland.

ACTS FOR KAISER
tBy Gable to The Tribune.l

Copenhagen, Dec. 3.-The King of
Saxony left Dresden to-day for Bel
GUM to encourage the troops and rep
resent the Kaiser during his absence at
the eastern seat of war.
During the Kaiser's sojourn in East
Prussia three German aeroplanes are
continuously flying over his headquar-
tiers. The skilful Russian airmen have
been showing much activity, and hence
these precautions.
According to reliable information,
the Kaiser is somewhat depressed by
the news that the Russians have occu-
pied his shooting estate at Rominten,
though it appears that they have treat
ed his property with special care.
