tries and must be validated for France
by special State department authorize
ton Anxious crowds also inquired
about railroad communications, espe-
cially sleepers, which supply appar-

one wants to leave with Mr.. Gerard.
Berne, already flooded with Ameri-
cans, was today awaiting further in
hux with the impending arrival of an
other trainload, including consuls who
were unable to catch the ambassa-
dorial train, because Mr.. Gerard was

Mr.. Gerard maintained his reticence
today and merely shrugged his shoul-
