Interest in the fighting in the Euro pean war for the moment has been over shadowed by political issues.
 Coming almost immediately on the conviction of four officials of the Ham
 burg-American line for conspiracy in obtaining manifests for vessels with which to place supplies on German war ships in the Atlantic. has come the an- nouncement that several days ago the United States requested that Germany recall Captain Boy-EdS German naval att tache. and Franz von Papen, military attache of the German embassy at Wash ington.
 The officers, 1t is said, made the step necessary by improper activities in con
 neotion with naval and military mat ters It Is said that the state depart ment is considering whether steps should
 be taken with regard to higher officials of foreign embassies at Washington for
 similar activities.
 The request for the recall of the at-
 taches is tantamount to their forced WltuuTdWdl ITOIu tH6 ulpiOIudtiC SeTVlce of Germany in this country.
 Official confirmation has been received
 in London thai. the American steamers
 Hooking and Genesee, belonging to the American Transatlantic line, have been requisitoned by the British government. A protest already has been made by the state department at Washington on the seizure and requisitioning of the Hock- ing and it is probable also that similar representations will be made with regard to the Genesee. Great Britain explains that as prize court proceedings have been centralized in London the requisi- tioning of the steamers really means a trip for them from Halifax and St. Lucia, respectively. to London. where the prZe court will take control of them. Greece, so far as is known. has not answered satisfactorily the demands ot the entente powers with regard to the status of their troops on Greek soil.
