NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Abassador
Gerard sailed for Norway today ur.i.r
a guarantee of safe conduct from he
British government. He refused t.
make any statement for publiealion
before sailing and explained that of
necessity all diplomatic business with
which he is entrusted must first b
done before it can be given out f
publication and that then It must
come from one or the other of the
foreign offices and not from him un
less he is specially authorized to make
statement.
Yesterday before his departure
from Washington, Ambassador Gerard
had a conference with Secretary of
States Lensing which lasted over an
hour. He then took luncheon with
German Ambassodor Bcrnstorff at
the German embassy.
From the highest official sources it
has been learned that on his return to
Berlin Ambassador Gerard will bn in
a position to take positive 3teps in
furthering the concerted movement for
1 peace.
Inasmuch as the first peace over
turncs came from Germany an 1 have
since been partially acceded to by tie
allied powers it is not though that the
Austro-Gcrman success in Floumanlu
will have any deterrent effect on tin
peace project so far as the central
powers are concerned. It is possible,
however, that the successful invasion
of Floumania coupled with the seem
ing inability of the entente powers to j
make headway against the German
trench defenses will further increase
the desire of all nations for a truce
for the purpose of making a final set
tlement.
