Washington Has Every
Reason to Believe There Is
Nothing in Peace Overtures

Washington, Oct. Z. The State
Departments view of reports that
Ambassador Gerard is returning to
the United States from Germany pre-
pared to seek mediation in the war
on behalf of Emperor William, was
expressed to-day in this official an
nouncement:
I'VE have no reason to believe there
is anything in it and every reason to
believe there is nothing in it. a.
Department officials refused to dis
cuss the report further except to re-
call that when Mr.. Gerard went to
Copenhagen from Berlin he expected
to say good-by to his wife who was
returning to the United States and was
far from certain that he would be
able to leave Europe at that time.
1t was pointed out that If Mr..
Gerard had had any peace overtures
from the Emperor there would have
been no such uncertainty in his mind
about coming home.
