PRESIDENT URGES Buy Safety first" heatin FIRE PREVENTION Berlin Says Ambassador Did Not Expect to Return Home When He Left There. Attention of People is Called to Special Precautionary - Measures Today. 1 VACATION DECLARED DUE "CLEANING UP" IS ADVISED THE 3IORXING bREGOXIATC. MONDAY. OCTOBER 9. 191G. Siptj : im lis pBi i wMmmm -jp :j Intimate Reports on Situation Ex-pci-ted, but Nothing More Vis its 'With German Statesmen . of Unofficial Nature. BERLIN, Oct. 7, via London, Oct. 8. It was said emphatically here today that Ambassador Gerard bears no com munications from Emperor William of any description and, as a matter of fact, when he left Berlin, he did not even know that he was going' to Amer ica. He had almost abandoned hope of hearing from Washington concern Ins his request for a leave of ab sence, and thought he would probably return to Berlin after a week in Swed en, and so informed the foreign office officials before he left. Herr von Jagow, secretary for for eign affairs; Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, the under secretary for foreign affairs, and Dr. Solf, secretary for state for the colonies, all saw the American am bassador the day before he left, but the visits were of a private nature and had no official character. Ambassador Oerard's trip is regarded by officials here as having no more significance than a leave taken by any ambassador tinder similar circumstances. He had been on duty here for three years, and needed a vacation, to which he was entitled, and the present time seemed to be a suitable opportunity. He will, it is understood, have in formative conferences with President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, to nvhom he will be able to give more ex haustive and more intimate reports of the situation than he could through the regular diplomatic channels, and his reports are expected to be utilized by the President in determining his future policy. Ambassador Gerard, as is natural from his present career, is also keenly Interested in the coming presidential election in the United States, but he did not expect, when he departed, to play any particular role in the politi cal campaign. This is believed to be the extent of his "mission." GOLD RESERVE IS VAST GERMAN AGENCY SAYS SUPPLY OF COIN , HOLDS OUT WELL.

Russian - and French Gains laReierve Declared Small In Proportion to Increase In Notes. BERLIN, Oct. 8. by wirless to Say ville, N. Y.
