GERHARD SAILED
No Other Man, 1t is Asserted.
Was Struggled Home Are
His Safe Conduct nor Was He
Accompanied by Secret Agent
in Disguise.

washington, June l6.--SeCretary Lansing
received word late to-day from sources
which he regarded as reliable that the
man who sailed for Germany with a safe
conduct carrying messages to tho foreign
office at Berlin from Count Won Bern
storff. the German ambassador was Or.
Anton Meyer-Gerhard.
Doubt had been cast on the identity
of the German ambassadors envoy by
published reports that the safe conduct
in Dr. Gerhard's name was in reality
obtained for Dr. Alfred Meyer, chief Of
the supply department of the German
army. who vas said to have been buying
supplies in the United States. Another
story was to the effect that DR.. Meyer
accompanied Gerhard.
State department officials to-day oX-
pressed much curiosity over the reports.
Ibut instituted no formal investigation.
From one Of the editors of New York
ne eWspapor, an American citizen, came
word that he knew both DR.. Meyer and
Dr. Gerhard, and that he personally saw
the latter on June take the boat for
Norway.
