Whitlock Explains
His Recent Actions
WINONA, Minn.. Nov. t Special Tel
lock, American minister to Belgium, haa
transmitted a lengthy report to the
United States government reviewing In
detail the step taken by him and the
members of his legation staff In connec
tion with th execution by the Oerman
military authorities of Mine Edith Cave II,
a British nurse.
The minister declares that the reports
made by him on the aubjnrt constituted
merely a recital of fact without expres
sion of opinion, and that he had sub
mitted them to Ambassador Page at Lon
don for hla Information, but not for pub
lication. The British foreign office, made
them public.
Publication of the letters, Mr. Whit
lock says, greatly - embarrassed him In
Brussels with the Oerman authorities, al
though he add that th latter now seem
satisfied with his explanation, and there
la no Indication of further difficulty.
