SOUTHWEST WELCOMES CHANCE
TO AID THE RED CROSS IN WAR
(BY H. S. H.)

The facts, nevertheless, are very clear. The German authorities granted the American consular staff every facility for departure. For instance seven gentlemen who happened to be in Berlin at the time of the departurs of Ambassador Gerard left with him in his special train to Switzerland. The others, after Ambassador Gerard had been consulted with, were requested in a circular telegram to indicate by what route they wished to travel. The message suggested to them that they take the route by way of Munich and Lindau, in order to facilitate their crossing the border from Lindau, which point is of course guarded by the military authorities. It is obvl- ously easier to instruct officials at one place than those at many places.
 Some Awaiting Transfers:
 Almost all the American consuls took advantage of this offer. and the majority of them have already arrived in Munich, and will leave on the 20th by way of Lindau. Some of the gen. tlemen will stay, not because they were forced to do so, but because the American government has transferred them to countries allied with Germany. They are still awaiting the necessary documents to enable them to enter these countries and travel to Buda- pest or Constantinople. Some of them received their notifications of transfer only on February 19, which of course delayed their departure.
 'One other gentleman still remains, General Harris, at Frankfort Main. He was taken i'll with pneumonia, but is now improving, so that he will leave soon.
 '"rhe departure of so many persons was not easy to manage in wartime, especially since so many. different de- sires had to be taken into considera- ton. One gentleman wished to marry before leaving. and that was made possible.''
 To the remark that one of the con- sular officers was reported to have complained to Amsterdam, the official replied:
 "He was transferred to Amsterdam and therefore preferred not to travel by way of Munich, his preference,
