U. S. ENVOY TO RETURN
BRAND WHITLOCK, MINISTER TO
BELGIUM, COMING HOME.
Ill Health Is Assigned as Reason
Was Active In Cavcll Case Hit
by German Press.
Washington, Nov. 5. Brand Whlt
lock, United States minister to Bel
glum, is returning homo. This an
nouncement was mado hero on
Wednesday.
Tho reason given for Whitlock's re
turn is ill health. His physician, it
was stated, has advised him that ho
would bo unablo to regain his health
if ho persisted in bis strenuous du
ties at Brussels.
Although it has been known for
some time that Minister Whltlock has
been In 111 health, tho announcement
that he was returning at this time
caused a sonsatlon.
The fact that German nowspapors
havo criticized in tho most sovore
terms Whitlock's activities In behalf
of Edith Cavell, tho nurso spy, whom
ho tried to savo from execution, somo
oven demanding that his recall bo
asked, aroused considerable specula
tion. That ho has been summoned homo
by tho stato department after Ger
many had protested against tho mak
ing public of his account of the Cavell
execution, was the belief in somo
quarters.
Ho indirectly charged breach of
diplomatic confidence against the Brit
ish foreign offlco for making public
tho report from Secretary Gibson of
the American logatlon at Brussels.
Whltlock in hiB report said that tho
publicity caused him sorlous embar
rassment with tho Germans.
At tho timo Miss Cavell was sen
tenced to death, Whltlock was con
fined to his bed, but made an effort
to savo hor by using his sccrotary and
securing tho aid of tho Spanish min
ister. "NO PEACE TILL ALLIES WIN"
