Der %, but it is generally believed
that Germany will prevent this
Germany May Charge injustice.
A note from Germany declaring the
American attitude in the case of the
two attaches to have been unjust and
unnecessarily provocative also is
limited at in German quarters. While
such a communication would not re-
quire an answer, but would be intended
merely TO make Germany's feelings on
the subject a matter of record, II
would almost certainly increase an
estrsngement already highly prejudi-
eial TO the amicable adjustment Of out
standing difficulties between the two
governments.
The German request for the reasons
for the non-acceptability of Captains
Boy-Ed and Won Papen was the result
Of a Misunderstanding between the
German Embassy here and the Berlin
Foreign Office. Secretary Lansing's
original demand for the recall of the
attaches was made orally TO Count Won
Bernstortr. Only the most general
reasons were alleged Two days later
the Secretary sent the Ambassador a
formal memorandum setting forth the
reasons more fully, but before TINS
communication was received in Berlin
the request for more complete reasons
was on the way.
Ambassador Won Bernstorf communi-
Gated this request 70 Secretary Lansing
last Sunday in private letter. which
was Immediately answered by turther
amplifcation Of the grounds OF com
plant.
IL was this last exchange Of letters
between the Secretary and the German
Ambassador that proved to be super
fuous, as the Foreign ONCE was con
tent with the Secretary's formal note
and already had decided on the recall
Nuber Not Likely to BE Tried.
The State Department to-day adopted
toward the case Of Consul General Won
Nuber that reticence which always pre-
cedes the announcement Of decisive
action. While il is denied that de-
rision has been reached, il is known
that il is only the manner Of the consul
generals going that is yet TO be De
cided on. The indications are that the
Department of Justice Will be over
ruled in its desire to prosecute Won
Nuber on charges of conspiracy and
hat his withdrawal from the country
will be asked
II Is understood, that Won Nubers
departure will be followed by the dis,
nissal of several other Austrian and
German consular officers who, have
figured prominently in the revelations att ,
concerning Teutonic propaganda. There
is every evidence that when the heads
begin to fall the State Department Will
not be content with less than com
piete cleaning out OF the oihclaI orahch
Of the Austro- German system.

$4,000 from Brother's Estate.


The Appellate Division upheld yester
day the claim of the estate Of the Rev
John b. Morgan, founder Of the Ameri-
can Protestant Episcopal Church in
Paris, to a legacy Of $4,000 from the
estate Of his brother, George II. Nor
gan. Under this decision the debts
owed by the minister 10 his brother are
also wiped out. The debts amounted to
less than $4,000 The brothers were
cousins Of the late J. p. Morgan.

estate of George H. Morgan, refused 70
pay the legacy until the court pssgt
on the amount due. lie contended that
the debt forgiveness clause was to b

a further complication in the situa-
tion developed to-day when it was dis
closed that an Austrian submarine,
which shelled the American Standard
Oil steamship Petrolite in the Medi-
terranean last week, sent a boarding
party and took part Of the ships pro
visions. This news came in consular
dispatch from Algiers, and was the
hrst official word Of the safety Of the
Petrolite, which was not greatly dam
aged by the shelling, and proceeded
TO Algiers with one man slightly
wounded.
So far as the Petrolite incident is
concerned there probably will be no
action by the State Department until
more complete reports are received,
showing the exact circumstances under
which the vessel was attacked. If the
/ tanker was shelled while trying TO
escape in disregard of warning from
/ the submarine there would be no com
plant on that score. When she did
stop and submit TO search. however,
/ in the view of officials here. the sub
marine commander, on finding her a
neutral ship bound on legitimate bust
ness, had no right TO seize her prop
/ prty.

Washington, Dec. 10.--Determination
that the Ancona case shall be the su-
preme test Of the whole submarine is
sue between the United States and the
Germanic allies was shown in admins
tration circles to-day. The note dis
patched to Austria is regarded as hav-
ing the force Of an utimatum, and a
break in relations with the Dual Mon
erchy is said to be inevitable unless
the American demands are met
promptly and fully.
The State Department has not yet
been informed Of the arrival of the
note in Vienna, and is consequently
unable to appoint a date for making 1t
public In the mean time, public COM
nent is withheld. Privately, however,
the administration is allowing it to be
krown that the note is intended as a
warning to Berlin as well as Vienna,
and is in fact a summary notice to the
German government that unlawful sub
marine attacks on American rights by
either Of the Teutonic allies will hence
forth be dealt with under the terms
OF the Lusitania note of July 81, which
announced that such attacks would be
regarded as deliberately unfriendly."
Believe Vienna Convicted.
The Austrian government is expected
to announce her position without delay.
The State Department has closed its
ears to explanations and temporizations
os all kinds. It belle es that Austria
is convicted on her own official state
ment, which admitted that many pas
sengers went down on the Ancona while
the submarine looked on.
1t is evident already that the German
government is preparing to wash its
hands of the Ancona affair. In German
circles here II was pointed out tonight
that a German submarine in the Med
iterranean recently spared an enemy
passenger ship, which stopped in an
swer to its warning. 1t is also stated
that Germany's submarine activities
against merchant shipping have been
confined to declared "war zones" and
Austrias action l.. carrying this kind
Of warfare into open waters is frowned
upon.
All talk of this kind falls on deaf
ears so far as administration officials
are concerned. The State Department
glimpses a German hand in the Medi-
terranean operations but, lacking proof
Of its suspicions, believes Berlin can
be reached most effectively through a
drastic treatment Of the case with Aus
tria.

Raises New Question.

Warships in the past when in dire
need Of food for their crews often
have held up merchantmen without re-
card TO their national ty, and carried
of what they wanted, giving receipt to
assure ultimate payment for what was
taken. Under such circumstances, II is
said, the governments concerned have
not been inclined to regard the pro-
ceedings as a very serious breach Of
their rights. provided a merchantman
was not left without suihc. supplies
to make port.
vessel by a submarine, however, raises
a new and interesting point in inter-
national law. 1t is pointed out th,. II
this practice became general belliger-
ent submarines preying upon an en-
emy's commerce practically wouI. be
unlimite, in their radius Of action and
almost wholly independent Of bases OF
supplies.
Will Impress Berlin.
No ATTEMPT will be made. for the
nresent. to resume the Lusitania con
t,ersations with Ambassador Won Bern
storF. The Boy-Ed-Non Papen case has
made il impossible TO expect frank deal
ing al this time. In addition, IL Is eK-
pected that the outcome of the Ancona
affair will greatly strengthen the po-
sition of the United States and impress
Berlin with the necessity Of giving COM
plete satisfaction.
The Lusitania negotiations were
broken off when the demand for the re-
call OF the two attaches was asked. AT
that time the result of more than six
months diplomacy was negligible. Ger
many still claimed justification for the
sinking Of the LusitanIa, but was will
ing 20 submit the question TO arbitra-
ton, in the mean time expressing "sln-
cere regret" for the loss Of more than
a hundred American lives.
This proposal was rejected by Secre-
tary Lansing. While he partly with
drew the original demand for n dis
avowal, he insisted on an apology and
an admission Of error. carrying with
II liability for damages.
IL Is apparent. therefore. that Ger
many had not greatly receded from
the position taken il the reply 20 the

Americas Warning

"lf the commanders of German
vessels of war;" said that warm
ing, should act upon the pre-
sumption that the flag of the
United States wasn't being used
in good faith and should destroy
on the high seas an American
vessel, or the lives of American
citizens, it would be difficult for
the Government of the United
States to view the fact in any 9TH
er light than as an indefensible
violation of neutral rights which
it would be very hard indeed to
reconcile with the friendly rela-
tons now happily subsisting be-
tween the two governments"
1t is assumed that the eXplana-
tons that will be forthcoming will
be based on the fact that the Ger
man commander thought the
American flag was being misused,
but the previous warning of this
government would indicate that
it will continue to hold that he
should have assured himself of
this fact before taking action.

relates an incident illustrative OF this
fact:
In 1922 NJ. de Marillac rode away on
horseback from an audience with the
king. His horse stepped on sent.
nel's foot. The man struck the horse.
which ieaped forward and shook N. de

lac severely. told him that the sentinel
should have killed him and forbade
him to exercise his command as chief

The sentinel was tried before a coun.
