 Member of Reichstag

 Foreign Secretary Zimmermann, ac- cording to the Vossische Zeitung, replied that MT. Gerard had complained in re- gard to several Americans who had pub lished pamphlets attacking him, and who had founded so-called league of truth. Herr Zimmerman said that Mr. Gerard wished proceedings to be taken against these gentlemen whom the American ann bassador described as his bitterest en- emies
 AS far as the pamphlets were con- cerned, the foreign secretary is quoted as saying: T made inquiries in the in- terest of the state, and found the ale represented differences of opinion be- tween Americans and their ambassador, and these I did not touch. I considered 1t my duty as long as the ambassador was here. to treat him with necessary de- ference"
