CITY ATTORNEY TOOMEY's
 GUESTS.

The members of Sams Uncas, ac- companied by the No Harmony band visited the home of MT. and Mrs. J. D. Toomey, Jr., on Washing ton avenue last evening. The band played, as it only can, the classical compositions peculiar to it's reper- toire. A very enoyab1e evening was spent. The guests who numbered about 30, were received by Mrs. Toomey, assisted by her sisters, the Misses Roland, and Miss Norris of Brooklyn, and Miss Donahue of James street. After the band had played all the airs it knew, and several it didn't know. F'inton Kelley declared the evenings festivities opened, in a speech was scintilated with witty al- lusions. In behalf of the little men in the party he said he had a, griev- ance against the city; the sidewalks were built too near them. It was at- ter midnight when the party sat down tosa tempting repast. Music, singing, stories and short talks comprised the programme. By a unanin1ous vote Ben Miller and Harry Reilley were elected members of the camp.

arc persona non grata makes ae-
quiescence by Germany in their re-
call imperative. State department
officials were today bending their
energies TO avoid fat disagreement
on this proposition Most OF all the
department wishes to avoid curt and
summary dismissal Of the two en-
bassy attaches. the only recourse left
open. IL Germany should squarely
and fatty refuse TO detach them.
II Is explained that Lansing's
statement TO Bernstorff that the re-
quest for the recall was for mill.
tary" reasons was voluntary and not
required by this government under
diplomatic etiquette.
Another angle of the dispute was
the position taken by Ambassador
Bernstorff thar Germany Is not re-
quired TO ask for safe conduct for
the two attaches. but that IL is in
cumbent upon the United States to
insure their safe return 10 Germany.
Lansing has said fatty that this
government. by international usage.
is required only to provide safe con-
duct for the attaches across the
United States border. or as far as
the three-mile limit at sea. Inter
national law is supposed 10 protect
diplomats at sea. regardless of their
military character and the fact that
their countries are at war.
Angered by the implied personal
reflections upon his two assistants,
Bernstorff is taking the position that
the American governments demands
are in reality a reflection upon the
German government. Denying they
have participated in criminal con
spjracies recently exposed or under
investigation, the German envoy in
sists any acts they have performed
were specifically in behalf OF their
government, in their Official capac-
tiles
There were indications today that
the whole matter would be handled
directly between Berlin and Wash
ineton, through American Amoassa-
dor Gerard. So far the discussions
with Gerard have been informal.
