Germany Not Concerned
Over Her Diplomats Here

Berlin, Feb. s (by wireless to Say
v;lle) The date of the departure OF
Ambassador Gerard has not yet been
fixed. The German authorities are
making every endeavor to assure him
and members of the American En-
bassy of all possible facilities for
forwarding private kilograms. No
serious concern is felt here as to the
safe departure of German officials
from the United States.
This information is contained IN
an announcement made public to-day
nv the Overseas News Agency, which
follows:
"The date of the departure of the
American Ambassador has not yet
been fixed. The number Of persons
for whom passports must be secured
will be rather large, and, therefore,
this work will require some time.
Every endeavor is being made to
assure the ambassador and the per-
sonnel of the embassy all possible
facilities for private kilograms.
"While the American residents as
cept loyalty the decision OF their
government, many of them regret
the breaking off of relations with
Germany without provocation. A
number of Americans, among whom
are several newspaper correspond
ents. have decided to- stay In Ger
many until further developments.
No Word from Bernstorf
Concerning Count Won Bern
storff's departure from the United
States, up to the present no official
communication has been received for
several days. All connection with
the ambassador is completely sew
cred. and reliance has TO be placed
on all sorts of news coming from the
enemy. which cannot be examined
into as to its reliability.
Nevertheless, no serious concern
IS felt regarding the safe departure
Of German officials in the United
States, it being considered that the
United States will not depart from
the basis of the law of nations, espe-
cially that of the treaty Of l799.'
All American consuls general and
consuls have been ordered by Wash
ington to report to Vice-Consul Cen
cral Harold B. Quarton, who is IN
charge in Berlin in the absence Of

Tribune's Poll Shows Ford's
Offer Equalled Through
out Nation

Henry Ford is not alone in his offer
to place his entire plant, equipment
and personnel at the disposal of the
United States government in event OF
war without profit Many other men,
associations and corporations through
out the country stand ready 10 aid
Uncle Sam on the same patriotic basis
When Secretary Daniels on Tuesday
made public the names of those who
had come forward with offers to place
their resources at the service of the
government The Tribune sent the fol-
lowing query to each person or organ
ization mentioned in the list:
Secretary Daniels yesterday made
public the name of your firm as one OF
ninety organizations having placed
their entire resources at the disposal
of the government. In doing the same
thing, Henry Ford declared that he
would expect no profit from the gov
ernment. Will you take the same
stand?'
Few Avoid Direct Answer
A majority of the replies received so
far are in the affirmative. Few
avoided a direct answer to the profit
nroposition. Some said the matter OF
proGt would have to be put up to the
board of directors, while others assert
cd that, while the question Of proht
was secondary, still they did not be-
,;eve that the Federal government
would accept charity" One concern
made a sarcastic slap at Mr.. Ford.
The general trend of the sentiment
expressed in the poll shows however
q concrete evidence of the eificlent
campaign of marshalling the nations
resources conducted for the last year
,nd a half by the scientific. industrial
and commercial bodies which have been
cooperating with the government.
No reply received typifies this spirit
more strongly than the one received
from Frederick W. Barker, president OF
the Aeronauticsl Society Of America
"Not only Is the offer Of the society
made for its services to the govern
ment without recompense' he says
1--WE feeling that our eight or h'ne
years, exnerience in the study of aero
nautical problems comprise an asset
which il more than ever at this time

vidual members Of the society have

President H. NJ McLarin Of the Fed

made-that the needs Of the employees are
