GENEVA, SWITZERLAND.
January 24, 1916.
Gherardi is here and has told me in some detail of the plans of the German
Navy as far as he can make them out, and of their proposed under-sea warfare.
This information is important and of great interest at the moment, but will not
be when the war is over, therefore I shall not give it in detail.
Minister Stovall came here to meet me and urged that I visit Berne
to meet the Swiss Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and the President. I
told him that Switzerland and Holland are the two countries where I must be
most careful, because of the intrigues of the belligerent nations in Berne and
the Hague. Switzerland has become a huge whispering gallery and my movements
are noted to the last detail, and if I said anything it would be twisted in the
repeating and no end of trouble might follow.
Stovall went a part of the way with us to Bale which we reached in
time for dinner.
BALE, SWITZERLAND.
January 25, 1916.
Our Consul, Mr. Holland, tells me that the greatest amount of curiosity has
been evinced in Switzerland over my visit, and he has had numerous requests
from people to be presented to me. Quite a crowd of curious people collected
at the door of the hotel as we left. Our trip across the frontier was without
incident. The German Foreign Office having made it as pleasant as possible.
At Baden, a staff correspondent from one of the leading Berlin papers met me.
I did not give him much that was worth while but, on the contrary, quizzed him
obtaining what information I could.
