SWISS WELCOME BRAND WHITLOCK Belgians Give United States Minister a Touching Farewell By Associated Press Berne. April 4.— Brand Whitlock, American minister to Belgium, reached Berne at 6 o'clock last evening look ing worn and weary. He admitted feeling extremely nervous nnd fatigued after the tremendous strain under which he lias been working, which lias been especially hard during the last few weeks. Mr. Whitlock was accom panied from Zurich to Berne by Pleas ant A. Stovali, American minister to Switzerland, who, with the legation attaches, went part of the way to the frontier with him. The Swiss government sent three high officers to Scliaffhausen to meet the Americans to accompany them to Zurich. From Brussels to the frontier the Whitlock party was escorted by Baron von Falkenhausen, an official especially delegated by Governor-Gen eral von Bissing. The party left Brus sels on Monday night on a special train. Chinese With Party In addition to sixty Americans com prising the legation staff, consular agents and all but live of the Belgian Relief Commission officials, Mr. Whit lock traveled with the Chinese charge d'affaires from Brussels with his staff and their families. The Chinese of ficials had received instructions to leave Brussels for Havre at almost the same time as the Americans. Mr. Whitlock described his de parture from Brussels ns extremely touching. The Belgans. who since the breach of relations between the United States and Germany have been pa thetically anxious lest the departure of the Americans might mean starva tion for them, gathered by thousands at the Gare du Nord to say farewell. Tt was feared there would be some demonstration which would bring down the anger of the German au thorities and cause some reprisal on the Belgians, but the latter, realizing this themselves, remained almost en tirely silent, although many wept. As the train pulled out of the station an occasional "Vive Amerlque" broke the quiot. but the majority stood with bared heads and contented themselves with waving hats and handkerchiefs.
