WON'T TELL WHY
State Department Silent in
Boyd Case.
German Embassy Say Action Is
every Unfriendly."

Washington, Dec. 7.-Emphatic re-
fusaI by the state department of the
reasons actuating the United States in
asking for the recall of Captain Boy
Ed and Captain Won Papen was sent
last night to Berlin and also to Am
bassador Bernstorff, it became known
today
The action was interpreted at the
Germany embassy today as Every un-
friendly
The German government, through
Ambas dor Bernstorff at Washing
ton, and Ambassador Gerald at Ber-
lin, it was stated at the embassy had
requested that the reasons for the re-
call be given privatery to the German
government; if the state department
did not care to make public the
reasons
Secretary Lansing, in his reply, re-
fused any information either privately
or publicly, it was said.
State department officials made no
attempt to minimize the effect such a
reply would have upon the German
government, but it was pointed out
that Secretary Lansing is abiding
strictly by custom in his refusal, and
furthermore, that the refusal has the
effect of calling for a show down on
the part of Germany.
Right up to the moment of leaving
for the capitol, the president dis
cusSed with the cabinet today the sit
uation between Germany and the
United States Armed with all infor-
nation possessed by the state and JUS
tice departments regarding the activi-
ties of the German diplomats, the pres
ident left to give his scathing arraign-
men of hyphenated Americans who
plan conspiracy against this govern
ment.
Whether the German government is
behind the activities of Boy-Ed and
Won Papen and whether it sanctions
and approves their acts is the key to
the situation as the cabinet sees it.
The declaration of the president was
made today with the cabinets full
approval
Back of Mexican Revolution.
The department of justice is still

WILSON, SMITES HYPHEN IN PLEA FOR L0
Germans urn
to Sn1ite French
in Balkan Crash

London, Dec. THE campaign
against the main Serbian armies
having been closed, it is expected
General Won Gallwitz, with his
German forces, will join the Bull
garians in Macedonia in an effort
to crush the French and British
armies before they become much
stronger.
Information from Berlin indi-
Gates that the German forces en-
gagged in the earlier movements in
the Balkans have now been de-
tached for the purpose of sharing
in the attack on the Franco-Brit-
ish forces along the southern
Macedonian front. Dispatches
from Athens partly corroborate
this theory
AS it is reported, two German
divisions are cooperating with
the Bulgarians near Strumitsa.
There is little to report from
the other fronts, save the usual
minor operations. The French,
however, are carrying on a par
ticularly energetic bombardment
of the German lines in the Cham
pagne.
In Mesopotamia the Germans
are beginning to show consider
! able interests in the campaign
which is developing in favor of
the Turkish allies.
1t is reported from Geneva that
the Germans under Field Marshal
Won Der GoltZ are preparing an
extensive campaign which will be
directed toward the Persian gulf
by way of Bagdad.
Further impetus is given to
peace talk by the papal consistory.
at which Pope Benedict delivered
an address calling upon the bel
ligerents to make just and i'm
mediate peace.
The effect of the dismissal of
the German military and naval
attaches at Washington on the
German public is not ascertain
able, as the German newspapers
have not been permitted to pub
lish even the bare facts of the
incident
