ELLIS L. DRESEL, DIPLOMAT, DEAD
Succumbs in Home at Prides Crossing
Signed Peace Treaty With Germany After World War
Served There Later as Charge d'Affaires
PRIDES CROSSING, Sept. 20 – Ellis Loring Dresel, signer of the peace treaty between the United States and Germany, died here at his home yesterday. He was almost 60 years old.
Mr. Dresel was born in Boston and made his home there, at 328 Beacon St. most of his life. He was graduated from Harvard in 1887 and from Harvard Law school in 1892. In 1898 he entered the law firm of Goodwin, Dresel and Parker, in which he was active for a quarter of a century .
At the outbreak of the World War, he joined the staff of Ambassador Gerard in Berlin and did excellent service in caring for stranded American tourists and British prisoners of war. He had an admirable command of the French and German languages and a thorough knowledge of Continental political affairs, which qualified him particularly for the diplomatic service.
When the United States entered the war, Mr. Dresel was transferred to Switzerland. At the end of the war, he was selected as a member of the Peace Commission. In that capacity he made several trips into Germany while this country still was theoretically at war with Germany.
After the treaty was concluded, Mr. Dresel was named American chargé d'affaires at Berlin. He was mentioned as a possible ambassador. At that time he sent home a report on conditions in Germany which attracted wide attention in this country and abroad.
Since 1922, Mr. Dresel has been living in this country, out of the diplomatic service. He crossed the Atlantic more than 15 times, in connection with his work for the government and as a tourist. He was a member of many clubs in Boston and New York. In 1922 Harvard bestowed upon him the honorary degree of A. M. in recognition of his services in Germany. Mr. Dresel never married. He is survived by a sister Louisa Loring Dresel.
Funeral services will be held at St. John's Episcopal Church, Beverly, Tuesday, at noon

CAUSE OF DEATH: Cancer.
