Consul Frost's report to the Amer

One American. Richard Wal

After having thus shelled the
survivors the German submarine
disappeared without proffering

Consul Frost said the sea was
moderately rough at the time of
the attack and that the lifeboats
with the Eavestones crew, living
and dead, drifted about for sever

finally sighted them and brought
them into port.
Frost's report was reported by
telegraph from Queenstown. He
declared the German submarine

a distance of 5000 yards and that

GERARD?

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Z.
"A state department official
message today said Ambassador
Gerard had gone to Berne; anoth-
er message said that he would
leave soon; previously a message
had come indicating that the Ger
man government was OBTAINING his
transportation until it was known
that Count Bernstorff had been
safely passed, while still another
message indicated there was no
difficulty and that all was being
arranged agreeably.
This conflict of reports puzzled
officials, though they told the
United Press that the latest report
indicated that matters were adj
justing themselves and that Ger
ard would be quitting Germany
very soon.
Message From willard.
A message saying Gerard was
in Berne was received from Am
bassador Willard in Madrid, but
in view of previous conflicting
messages the department was not
sure Wizards information was
accurate.
Willard has been asked to
communicate with Gerard in Ber-
lin. He replied that he had re-
ceived a message from Berne,
signed Gerard, and asked if he
should forward the communica-
ton to the state department.
Gerard may be in Berne, but it
was suggested at the department
that some embassy attache may
have gone ahead of the ambassa-
dor and sent the message to Mad
rid, signing Gerard's name.
The state department has now
cabled to the American minister
at Berne asking if Gerard is
there.

able, we are assuming the fearful
responsibility of leading, not only
our own country, but other nations

Following the severe criticism
by Senator Works, Senator Stone,
