Berlin. Feb. c0.-(Ry Wireless In

American consuls and consular off
GERS detained by force in Germany
are malicious inventions, just as were
so many other reports we have had
during the last few weeks" said a Ger
man official to staff member of the
Overseas News agency today. He con-
tinued. says the agency report Of the
interview:
1.-THE case Is rather complicated. The
facts. nevertheless, are very clear. The
German authorities granted the Amer
lean consular staff every facility for
departure. For instance. seven gentle
men who happened to be in Berlin at
the time of the departure OF Ambassa-
dor Gerard. left with him In his spe-
clal train to Switzerland The others,
after Ambassador Gerard had been
consulted, were requested in a circular
telegram to indicate by what route
hey wished to travel. The message
suggested to them that they take the
route by way of Munich and Lindan.
which point is OF course guarded by
the military authorities. 1t is obvious
" easier to instruct officials at one
place than those at many places
almost all the American consuls
took advantage OF this offer and the
majority OF them have already ar
rived in Munich and will leave on the
2sth by way Of I-indau. Some of the
gentlemen will stay. not because they
were forced to do so. but because the
American government has transferred
them to countries allied with Ger
many. They are still awaiting the
necessary documents to enable them
to enter those countries and travel
to Buda Pest or Constantinople Some
of them received their notifications of
transfer only on February 49, which
Of course delayed their departure. One
gentleman wished to marry before
leaving and this was made possible"
