DETENTION 0F
 GERARD RESENTED
OFFICIALS CONFIDENT GERMANY WAS AWARE OF THE CoURTE. SEES GRANTED BERN.
 STORFF.

Washington. Feb 1o-Gcrmany's delay in permitting Ambassador Ger ard and other American officials to leave the country has aroused deep est resentment here, especially in view .of the steps taken to arrange all DOS. sible conyeniences for the homeward trips of German officials in the United States.
 A dispatch today from American Minister Stoyall at Berne. Switzerland said he had been informed that Mir. Gerard would leave the German car- ital tonight arriving at Zurich tomcr row. The minister said he had ar ranged to meet the party at the iron. tier When he state department closed for the day. however it Was said no further word had been recajy- ed.
 II was disclosed at the department that an inquiry regarding the delay had been addressed to Mr. Gerard through the Spanish ambassador at Berlin Officials have indicated, how ever. that cnce Mr Gerard and his narly are safely out of Germany the United States probably will consider the incident closed
 Officials were confident that Ger many has had in its possession from the start the fullest information a. 10 the courtesies granted former Ger. man officials and the rights admitted to German property n this country This information has been sent daily both through the Swiss legation here, representing German interests, and he Spanish embassy in Berlin, rep resenting American interests. Plans for Count yOn BernstorfCs departure the decision not to seize German war bound ships and other developments have been detailed
 The animation that Mir. Gerard was being detained because Count you Bernstorit was not allowed to com municate With his government was indicnantly denied here.
 No ward has been received from he Spanish ambassador in Berlin since he took over american interests ehere after the break. A dispatch from Am bassador Willard at Madrid received today said the Spanish foreign office up to yesterday had received nc word from the ambassador as to whether he had actually taken over American interests in Germany through Am bassador Risno here has formally notified tile state department of Spa.n's willingness to.
 While no mention has been made in recent dispatches of the American con,n's in Germany and of the Amori- can soldiers brought in as prisoners on the Yarrowda,e, it is assumed that all ol them will accompany Mr.. Gerard when he is finally permitted to leave Germany The consuls will face unique situation when they ar- rive in Switzerland as there will be 93 first class officers and more sub ordnates whose positions have sud denly been destroyed The present plan is 10 continue all these men on the official payrolls under a special emergency provision, some going to po:ts in other parts of the world, particularly South America, and others being recalled 10 Washington on special duty.

Report on Condition Of the Field At
tseks Validity Of the Rev. Or. Boyd,
Claim to Ownership Of Publishing
eoard-Thsrs 10 Only ons National
Baptist Convention
Chicago-The enlistment committee
OF the National Baptist Convention OF
America. the Rev. DR.. l.. h Williams
OF this city, chairman, issues the fol.
lowing statement as to its findings on
the condition Of the field:
The committee can in all truth state
that its observations confirm the cur.
rent belief that a majority of the peo-
pie in the United States are with the
National Baptist convention. Let none
hesitate to believe this, for 1t is abso-
lutely true
The committee has found that the
people who are with the Boyd conven.
ton, many of them, are good meaning
Baptists. though misled and misin.
formed Many believe that DR.. BOYD
is the father and sole patron Of the
publishing idea. that he began and
crystallized with his own brain and
money the enterprise and that the Ma
tonal Baptist convention for these rea-
sons is cruel and heartless In its ef.
forts to control the National Baptist
publishing board. They believe that
since he began the project with his
own means he is the most sorely per.
secuted man in all the world
THE committee has shown such per
sons that the convention. began and
partly crystallized the publishing idea
and enterprise before 1t knew DR.
Boyd And as this has been shown
good people who have been misled and
misguided on this point have shown
disposition to stand for denomination
al or conventional management or own
ership against board or individual
management and ownership.
Ownership Of the Publishing Board.
The committee has found another
class of good people who think that the
publishing enterprise IL already a de,
nominational or convention concern
and that there is no need Of the pres.
ent agitation. We have shown them
that the convention thought that the
publishing board was convention or
a denominationnl affair, that DIR. BOYD
had so stated the same for years, but
he refused to obey the orders OF tile
denomination. given through the con.
vention. and had at last refused to turn
over to the denomination the publish
Ing enterprise as ordered by the con-
vention In its annual meeting In Chi
