CORRESPONDENT

Washington, Feb. THE state de-
partmcnt tonight was deeply per
picked over the whereabouts of Ann
hassador Gerard. Contradictory cable
grams left grave doubts in the minds
Of officials as TO whether the Ameri-
can diplomat is still in Berlin or has
rea ched some point in neutral terri
tory The department has received
no direct word from the ambc. ssad or
since Sunday.
Ambassador Gerard ca bled the de-
partment from Berlin on February 4.
asking for instructions as to the dis
position OF his staff. Before the mes
sage reached the department, Secre-
tarv Lansing had started on it's way
to Berlin message giving instruc-
tons affecting the staff.
Anxious Over Reports.
Much anxiety was caused at the
department by reports that Mr.. Ger
ard was being detained in Berlin as a
hostage. and probably would be so
held until Count Won Bernstorff de-
parts for Germany. The department
hurriedly took steps TO ascertain the
reasons for the ENJOYS detention.
A cablegram was received later in
the dav from Ambassador Willard, at
message from Gerard, apparently
dated at Berne, Switzerland.
The department was left in
quandry as to its meaning.
For "A time they believed that Ger
ard may have reached neutral soil
as he intended coming home by way or
Switzerland. They were inclined 10
the view. however. that Mr.. Gerard
would have reported his arrival IN
Berne direct TO the state depe rtment
II was thought possible he may have
sent one of the secretaries of the en-
bassy ahead of him to Berne with in
structons to communicate with AM
bassador willard.
In the speculation that followed the
receipt of the Willard dispatch it
was suggested that Gerard may have
encountered some difflculty in arrang-
ing for his departure from Berlin and
had sought to get in quick touch with
Willard in message reiayed through
Bernn This was given credence by
some of the higher officials because
OF the fact that the Spanish oyern-
ment has taken ever American inter-
ests in Berlin since diplomatic rela
