DECLINES TO MAKE REPORT
While in Berlin His Telephone Wires
Were Cut, His Mail and Telesraphic
Privileges Stopped, So That He
Could Not Instruct ConsuIs.

Zurich. Switzerland.-NOst of the
members Of Ambassador Gerard =
large party gave a genuine sigh of re-
lief when the Swiss border was
reached, for the strain OF the las
few days had told more or less on the
majority of the travellers. Ambassa-
dor Gerard met cordially the horde OF
newspaper men who crowded about
him on his arrival at Zurich, ClamOr-
ing for interviews for papers all over
the civilized world, but he kept rigidly
to his determination not to speak for
publication until after he had report
ed 10 President Wilson in Washing
ton.
The strain of the situation OF the
Americans in Berlin had been height.
ened toward the end by the efforts OF
the German authorities TO induce Mr..
Gerard TO open negotiations for an
amendment 10 the Prussian-American
treaty of 1893. AT the same time the
German newspapers were flooded with
reports of the seizure OF German
ships by America and with stories of
difficulties and indignities encountered
by Count Won Bernstorff AmbasSa-
dor Gerard was refused permission to
communicate in cipher with Washing
ton and the authorities ignored all de-
malls Of the stories printed In the
German newspapers until an official
message received through the Spanish
embassy made it clear that the stories
were false. Prior to this Ambassa-
dor Gerard's telephone wires were cut,
his mail and telegraphic privileges
stopped; so that he could not even in
struct the American consults and he
was. in his own words, a prisoner.
Mr. Gerard's farewells were said in
a friendly, though formal manner
Many Germans were in the throng at
the station, which consisted partly OF
Americans who had not received per
mission to depart on the embassy train
and must await the police routine
before being allowed to leave.
The fact that it was not generally
known that Mr.. Gerard was departing
reduced these demonstrations at The
South German stations to a minimum
of curious crowds.
The party was accompanied by two
representatives of the foreign Office
and guarded carefully by men from
the secret service. The customs in |
sepection and other examinations at |
the border were relaxed to a mere |
formality.
