Washington, Dec. diplomatic rela.

There was no sign early today Of an

MAY CAUSE GOODNESS
z. BETWEEN COUNTRIES
Germany Will Not Be Told
Why BOy-ed and Won Papen
Are Not Wanted

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE state de-
partment s formal refusal to give its
reasons for asking recall of Boy-ed and
Won Papen, German embassy attaches,
was forwarded last night to Berlin and
given to Ambassador Won Bernstorff,
il became known today.
The embassy interpreted this action
as every unfriendly."
The embassy explained, too, that the
Berlin foreign office had asked that
America IS reasons be given secretly, if
the state department did not care to
make them public. Secretary Lansing,
however, the embassy said, refused any
information.
State department authorities did not
minimize the effect the refusal reply
would have on Berlin, but they pointed
out that Lansing is merely abiding by
u strict custom.
The refusal has the effect Of call
ing for a show down from Berlin.
Germany probably will ask that
Bernstorff now confer further with
Lansing on the subject.
With these developments giving a
new tinge Of seriousness to German
American relations, it was admitted
that negotiations over the German tor.
pedoing of the liner Lusitania will be
hopelessly muddled if Germany makes
good any diplomatic bluff she may be
attempting in the Boy.ed-Von Papen
cases. For either breaking off diplo-
matte relations or a complete acquies.
cence in America 's demands are Ger
many's only alternatives, unless the
state department permits a long series
of conferences which would keep Boy
ed and Won Papen nere indefinitely
pending outcome Of the sessions.
To the moment of going to the cap
ito to address congress, the president
discussed with his cabinet concerning
the German.American situation. From
them he gained approval of the scath.

Congress MAY Act Calmly,
Discretely and Wisely"

Washington, Dec. z. - President
Woodrow Wilson today made his tenth
appearance before joint session of the
house and senate.
The lure of seeing him and of get
ting glimpse of his fiancee in the
presidential gallery; the desire to hear
his views urged on one of the most mo-
mentous congresses in the nation IS his
tory drew great crowds. From early
morning on, they came. Hundreds were
turned aside in disappointment, how
ever, for anly sos admissions were is
sued, and all of these were used.
The diplomatic and executive galleri-
les were filled. Seats reserved for for
tunate ticket holders among the gem
eral public were filled long before the
president entered the hall Of the lower
house. Some Of the early comers
brought their lunches, prepared to camp
out all day; doorkeepers shattered their
plans, however, refusing them admit
taEce until they had laid aside or eat
en- the lunches. The usual group of old
ladies, with their knitting, too, were on
hand.

When the president, escorted by dele
gates from the senate and house, enter.
ed the chamber, mighty roar of ap-
plause burst forth, and then the as
semblage suddenly hushed.
The blind Chaplain Couden rose. His
prayer was that congress might receive
the presidents message and "act calm
ly discreetly, and wisely, and so as to
serve the people 's interests"
For those to whom the opening mes
sage of the Gath congress meant only a
spectacle, the center of attraction with
Mrs. Norman Gait, the president s fian-
Gee. Smiling, handsome, dressed in a
dark blue broadcloth suit adorned with
bouquet of rare orchids, and wearing
dark hat, she made her way into the
executive balcony shortly after noon.
With her were Miss Margaret Will
son, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, Mrs
McAdoo and Mrs Boiling.
