Gerard's much discussed speech on his
return to Berlin, in which he was
quoted as saying that never since the
beginning Of the war have the rela-

Germany been as cordial as now" was
reported substantially as made, it was
said at the state department today.
The text will be examined carefully
and it is probable some announcement
will be made later. It Is stated Off
cially that the departments request
that the ambassador send his exact
words is merely the customary proce-
dure.
Mr.. ,Gerard's speech has caused more
comment abroad than any utterance Of
any American diplomat since the war
began. It was significant. it was said,
because it followed so closely on the
ambassadors visit to the president.
The German chancellors supporters
and those looking for an early peace
approved 1t, but opponents Of the
chancellor saw in it little to approve.
