reached Berne last evening looking
worn and weary. He admitted feel
Ing extremely nervous and fatigued
after the tremendous strain under
which he has been working, which has
been especially hard during the last
few weeks. Mr.. whitlock was ac-
companied from Zurich to Berne by
Pleasant A. Stovall. American Min
lister TO Switzerland. who with the
Legation attaches went part Of the
way TO the frontier 20 meet him.
The Swiss Government sent three
high officers to Schaffhausen to meet
the Americans and accompany them
to Zurich. From Brussels to the
frontier the Whitlock party was
escorted by Baron Won Falkenhausen,
an official especially delegated by
Governor General Won BisslnR. The
party left Brussels on Monday night
/ on special train.
4 In addition to sixty Americans,
comprising the Legation stan. con =
Belgian Relief Commission officials,
Mr. Whitlock travelled with the
/ Chinese Charge d'Affaires from Brus-
scls with his stan and their families
The Chinese officials had received in
structions to leave Brussels for
| Havre at almost the same time as
the Americans.
Mr.. Whitlock described his de-
parture from Brussels as extremely
touching. The Belgians, who, since
the breach OF relations between the
United States and Germany, have
been pathetically anxious lest the de-
parture OF the Americans might mean
starvation for them, gathered by thou
sands at the Care du Nord TO say
farewell. IL was feared that there
would be some demonstration which
would bring down the anger OF the
German authorities and cause some
rcprisal on the Belgians, but the lat.
ter. realizing this themselves, re.
mained almost entirely silent, al
though many wept. As the tralr
pulled out OF the station an occasiona
"Vive Amerique!" broke the quiet
but the majority stood with barred
heads and contented themselves with
waving hats and handkerchiefs.
The trip was speedy and unevent
full and the boundary was crossed a
