PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
WILL RECEIVE GERARD
Ex-Ambassador Signally Hon
ored in Paris-Congratu-
.... lated by Americans

PARIS, Feb. 16--Although James w,
Gerard former American Ambassador TO
Germany. Is travelling home In the role OF
n private citizen! President Poincare has
given orders that everything possible be
done TO make his stay in Paris pleasant
one II was reported today that arrange
ments would be made for Mr.. Gerard to
call upon the French President before he
leaves Paris.
The French Government and the French
people are extending a warmer welcome to
MIR. Gerard than to any other private Amer
lean citizen who has come to Paris since
the war began.
The former Ambassador and Mrs. Gerard
are at the Rtz-Carlton hotel, where they
are rapidly recovering from the nervous
strain imposed upon them during the last
few days of their stay in Germany.
Many members Of the American colony
are calling upon Mr.. Gerard to extend con-
gratuations upon the success with which
he handled delicate diplomatic affairs In
Germany-the storm center OF Europe
and to felctate him upon the future In
fact. there is much speculation as to MIR.
Gerard's future activities. He left the
bench to become Ambassador to Germany.
so three courses are open to him He may
return to the law: he may enter poll
tics in New York or he may continue in
the diplomatic service
Mr. Gerard was compelled today TO re-
iterate his declaration OF silence, for cor
respondents are still trying to get state
ment from him.' Despite their insistence
the ex-Ambasssdor maintained his suavity.
replying:
Gentlemen, I can say nothing until l
have reported to President Wilson"

FRENCH CRAFT REPORTS
FIGHT WITH SUBMARINE
Honduras Hit Several Times.
but, Unlimbering, Chased
Away U-Boat

NEW YORK. Feb. 10. - The French
steamship Honduras. 1913 tons. arriving
here today from Havre. reported having
a running battle with a German submarine
on December T. while en- route from the
United States to her home port Because
of the restrictions placed by the Allied Gov
ernments on shipping news the battle was
not reported on this side.
The Honduras was proceeding twenty
miles west Of Brest when the C-boat rose
from the water and commenced sheling
her Several shots took effect damaging
the bridge and stern before the Honduras
crew could get their gun unlimbered. The
steamship replied to the attack with about
thirty shots, and the German submarine
commander then abandoned the chase.
