OF the Germany embassy here
Similar action is being considered
as to DR.. Won Nuber the Austrian con.
sui general at New York, and decision
in his case is regarded a matter of
only short time, delay being due to
further investigation.
German Ambassador Notified.
The request for the recall of the two
attaches was made to the German Am.
bassador verbally. Count Won Bern.
storff informed Secretary Lansing that
the Berlin government had acknowl.
edged receipt of his dispatch but he
had not yet received any orders in
the matter.
The action of this government
against the German attaches is due to
no single incident in either case, but
was based on an accumulation of i'm
proper activities connected with the
handling of German military and ma
val matters in this country. The con-
nection of at least one of the attaches
with the plot on the part of certain
German interests to set Huerta up
again in Mexico as a means of en-
barrassing this government, figured
more than any other single incident
in the determination to adopt a dras-
tic course toward these representa-.
tives of the German government.

official for improper conduct, follow

withdrawal of Captains Karl Boy-Ed
