Berlin, Jan. 10.-(By wireless to The
Associated Press, via SayVille) With
reference to the message sent by the
state department at Washington to
Ambassador Gerard asking for infor-
ma ton on his speech at the banquet
given in his honor Saturday night by
the American Association of Commerce
and Trade, it can be stated that the
Ambassadors remarks were quoted
correctly in the dispatches forwarded
to the United States. The report sent
out by the overseas News Agency
quoted the ambassador as saying
Never since the beginning of the war
have the relations between Germany
and the United States been so cordial
as now"
The speaker avoided any reference
to the other powers in this connection
and confined himself to statement on
the present friendly relations between
the two governments. His remark was
received with hearty applause by most
Of the Germans present and has been
cited with approval by the newspa-
pers, with few exceptions.
The Associated Press is informed
that it was welcomed in high quarters
Ambassador Gerard was received
Monday by Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg for a half hours discussion of
German American relations.
