GERARD DENIES THAT GERMANS
HAVE ILL-TREATEp
AMERICANS.

Berlin, August 22, S:45 a. m. via Co
penhagen and London.-The American
ambassador. James ". Gerard, pub
fishes in the newspapers a denial of
reports that Americans have been ill
treated in Germany. He states that
come few were arrested during the
first days of the war, but adds that
such mishaps are almost unavoidable
during big wars, and that in all cases
those arrested were speedily liber-
ated.
Americans in Germany" says the
ambassador. "enjoy as great security
as they do in America. The populace
is extremely courteous, and the gov
eminent has made great efforts to
place special trains at the disposal of
Americans, even during mobilization.
The banks are very considerate. pay
ing checks and letters of credit"
Ambassador Gerard said that he de-
sired to assure the American people
that the greatest possible ~politeness
is the only help possible under the cir
cumstances, and this has been shown
to Americans in Germany.

THE SILENCE OF GERMANY
BY Haniel Won Haimhausen.
German Charge d'Afaires.

The inconvenience from which the
American public suffers in not deriv-
ing direct information from German
sources is no greater than the incon
venience thus occasioned to the Ger
man Government itself. The German
cable has been cut. All other cable
connections are in English hands.
The British Government not merely
censors all cables but entirely refuses
transmission of messages addressed
to Germany. The direct wireless con
nection by way of Sayville and Tuck
erton is irregular. 1t is to be hoped,
however. that an improvement is soon
to be made. Today, Thursday, the first
ineligible telegram had been receiv-
ed from Germany by way Of Tucker
ton. | have asked the State Depart
ment to use its influence that the pres
ent inconvenience be eliminated or at
least ameliorated. In the first case, of
course, | desire to communicate with
my own Government by code. If a re-
liable direct connection with Germany
is restored, American business men
with commercial connections in Ger
many, and Americans with relatives
abroad, will be much relieved from
worry.
1t is inevitable that during a mobili.
cation on a grand scale the non-combat-
anats should be Inconvenience. The
exclusive use of the railroads to the
frontier, however, by an expeditionary
force seldom lasts more than about
two weeks. The excited impressions
of newspaper correspondents involved
in the advance Of a great army will be
corrected by the evidence of the thou
sands of visitors to Germany who can
go about their affairs, except at STRAIT
egic points. OF course those who are
discovered with maps that would be
useful to the enemy must expect a
rigid scrutiny of their effects If they
attract the attention Of the police.
The visitors to Bad Nauheim or other
watering places will perhaps detect lit
tie to suggest that a great war is rag.
ing on the frontier. They will take
their baths and their waters as usual
undisturbed by bloodshed and un-
plagued by unnecessary invasions of
their personal rights.

DENIES WAR TALE
Ambassador, Returned to U. s., Says
Won Emmleh Is Not a Suicide.

New York, Aug. 24.-"The German
Crown Prince Frederick William has
not been wounded, nor did Gen. Won
Emmich. who commanded the attack
on Liege commit suicide" said Count
Johann Won Bernstorff, German Am
bassador to the United States, upon
his arrival here today on the s. S. Nor
dam, from Rotterdam.
Count Won Bernstorff, who talked
with unusual freedom for a diplomat
whose country is at war, said further:
Conditions in Germany are SPLEEN
did. The whole nation. from the Kai-
ser to. the poorest laborer, is standing
together to defend itself against this
u~nwarranted attack. That Germany
will be victorious | have perfect conf
dence. Already 1900 900 have volun-
teered their services. more than could
have been called upon for active serv-
ice.
my wife is with the Red Cross at
Munich. My son is with the Emper-
or's guard. My only regret is that
was not able to stay and fight myself.
All my secretaries have gone to the
front"
Asked about the attitude of Japan,
the Ambassador said:
THE calling in of the yellow men in
to a European quarrel shows that the
allies do not feel sure of the outcome.
The Japanese will profit by this coca
sion, if they can gain control of the
Pacific Ocean"
The Ambassador said that the Ger
mar soldiers are lighting brayely and
that the report of the suicide of Gen.
Won Emmrich probably arose from the
fact that he was wounded in the leg
in the fighting at Liege.
Count Won Bernstorff said that Liege
had been taken by German troops. He
declared that 1t required only six in
fantry regiments totaling 5000 to 5000
men, to capture the Belgian town.
