WhitlOCk with
Family Leaves
for Havre
Paris, April 1s.-Brand Whitlock. the

Paris, April 1s.-Brand Whitlock, tho
American minister to Belgium. left
here today for Havre. where the Am
erican legation will be established. He
was accompanied by his family.
Prior to his departure, Mr.. Whit
lock had a lengthy conference with
Premier Ribot. Mr.. Whitlock has
carefully avoided making statements
concerning conditions in Brussels, but
from other quarters, it is learned that
he had several disagreeable experien-
ces with German officials in Brussels
following the rupture Of relations be-
tween the United States and Germany.
Immediately after notice was receive
ed that relations had been broken of,
the German official communications
ceased addressing Mr.. Whitlock as
"Excellency." and referred to him SIM
ply as Mr." When he made known
his intention to leave Brussels with
the other American officials and con-
suls and their families. reply was
sent him by Baron Won der Lancken,
chief of the German political depart
ment in Brussels. that the minister
and his family might depart but that
other Americans in Belgium, including
the consuls at Liege, Antwerp and
elsewhere, could not go. Mr.. Whit
lock. it is said, made an emphatic
protest against the detention of any
of the Americans, declaring that he
and his family would remain in Bel
GUM as long as any Americans were
held. The Germans finally weakened
before Mr.. Whitlock's insistence, and
week after the request for passports
the documents were issued for the
minister and all other Americans who
desired to leave.
Throughout the closing days Of Mr..
Whitlock's stay in Brussels, the Ger
mans are said to have shown intense
bitterness against the United States
for rupturing relations. General Won
Moltke. relative of the late Lieut.
Gen. Helmuth Won Moltke. chief Of the
German general staff, said to the le-
CATION officials:
If it had not been for America, We
would have won this war"
1t is understood that Gen. Won Piss
ing. the German governor general in
Belgium, made a similar remark To
Mr.. Whitlock.
