NO CONFIRMATION
OF DRESE'S BEING
NAMED AMBASSADOR
Reports Received in Berlin From
London and Paris Cause
Much Speculation.
fsx The Assoelated Pressl

BERLIN. Sept. 5.-The German for
eign office is without confirmation OF
reports received here from London and
Paris that Ellis Loring Drese1 is to be
appointed ambassador to Germany,
The report was printed in the Berlin
newspapers and resulted in Mr. Dresel
being overwhelmed with congratuia-
tions. He said today that he was en-
tirely IN the dark as to the state de-
partments decision with regard to tho
Berlin post or concerning his future
disposition.
DR.. Friederich Rosen. the foreig$
minister, is still scanning the German
horizon for an ambassador to the Uni
ted States who would be considered as
true representative of New Germany.
Men OF the ambassadorial stamp who
the government has had In view are
out Of It's reach. while others who have
volunteered to fill the post at Wash
ington are said not to be finding Of
ficial favor or receiving encourage
ment.
The Washington assignment In
wolves a number of perpIexing diff
culties for the cabinet OF DR.. Wirth.
In addition to the question OF the ann
bassador's personality one OF the chief
questions is the expense Of the Wash
ington mission The German ambassador
who would be content to maintain a
modest establishment would cost Ger
many a minimum of $4,000 a year,
which today exceeds 100000 marks.
This would not include the staff or
other embassy expenses. even allowing
for rigid curtailments in many direc-
tions.
Up to the present no wealthy man in
Germany has volunteered for the
Washington portfolio. or If he has, has
not proved himself sufficiently unin-
numbered to warrant consideration by
the cabinet.
A member OF the rolchstag foreign
relations cohmittee. discussing the
situation with the Associated Press to-
day. expressed the hope that the
American government would simplify
the procedure for Germany by tenn
