(by wireless to Say- ‘All these reports about n consuls and consular officers detained by force in Germany are ma- licious inventians, just as were so many other reports we have had dur- ing the last few weeks,” said a promi- nent German official to a staff mem- ber of the Overseas News Agency ser- vice. He continued ¢s the agency report of the interview: “The case is rather complicated.

Tor instance, seven | gentlemen who happened to be inj 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 af course guarded by the military authorities. It is obvi- 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 awalting 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-on-Main, He was taken fll with pneumonia, but is now improving, so that he will leave soon. *““The departure of s0 many persons was not easy to manage in wartime, especially since so many_ different de- sires had to be taken into considera- | tion. 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 camplained to Amsterdam, the official replied: “He was transferred to Amsterdam and therefore preferred not to travel by way of Munich, his preference, | { bition amendment, undoubtedly would | [become operative as soon 4 ident ha he pres- signed the measure. .
