Can Gerard ever return officially to
Berlin?
These arc the questions ut diplomacy
and precedent which arc the topic of
larger conversation IN official and So
cial circles. in the capital tanElc
Opinions vary. aud they arc all inter.
cstinS and instructive.
Mr.. Gerard Was recalled by his own
government from the German capital
enjoying the fun confidence Of the
Washington administration, respect and
regard II the Imperial government"
His recall carries no reflection upon
him by his own government and no
distrust 10 him by the government to
which he was accredited. He was
persona grata TO both. when the diff
fcrcHces between Washington and
Berlin arc solved and healed, many
diplomats here sec no reason why MI
Gerard should not return To his post
and be welcomed there
There are some who strongly dis
sent to this view. upon the idea that
Mr.. Gerard would always recall to the
German government and people the dis
agreeable incidents OF tho severance OF
relations between the two countries,
and his presence would continually
touch sore spot in the feelings OF the
German people.
The case OF Count BernstorH is al
together different, and much more un.
fortunate. Tho American ambassador
waB honorably recalled by his own
government, The German ambassador
was percmptorily dismissed by the
government 70 which lie MAS accredited.
The ono instance carries no reflection
