WH|TL0Ck So ON
LEAVES BELGIUM

Washington, Nov. 3.-Brand Whitlock,
American minister to Belgium, cabed the
state department TODAY that he was
preparing to return to the United States
for a vacation on account of i'll health
Mr.. Whitlocks decision to return home,
he advised the department, was in pur.
suance of orders from his physicians
Officials had known Of his i'll health for
some time and several weeks ago he was
instructed to leave whenever his condi.
ton required II.
In view OF rumors published abroad that
Germany had asked for the recall II
Mr. Whitlock on account of his report
on the case OF Miss Cavell. the nurse
executed for assisting British and BEL
gan prisoners to escape, officials stated
emphatically tonight that the minister's
departure, so far as they are aware. was
entirely OF his own initiative and in no
way connected with the Cavel incident.
They pointed out that permission to leave
had been granted before Miss Caven was
arrested
The minister leaves Belgium with
the highest commendation of the
Washington government, his record
being regarded here as one of the
most brilliant made by any of tho
American diplomatic officers abroad.
In view of the transfer of the scat
OF the Belgian government TO Havrc,
France, Mr.. Whitlocks sojourn in
Belgium has been by permission of
the Germans. It was said tonight
by high officials that there never had
been the slightest intimation from
Germany that his presence was unde-
sirable and that there had been no
communication whatever between
Germany and the United States on
the Cavell incident,

Washington, Nov. 3.-At the instance

latest American note to Great Britain
protesting against interferences with neu-

that France is equally concerned with
Great Britain in the subject matter or
