Washington, Dec. 7.-Dcvelopments
In the relations between the United
States and Germany growing out of
the request for the recall of Captains
Boyd and Won Papen. German en-
bassy attaches, are rapidly approach
Ing q climax.
Germany called on the United
States for the reasons for the recall
Of these two officers.
High officials Of the state depart
ment declared that the United States
will give neither to Germany nor to
anyone else the sources of informa-
tion" on which the recall was de-
manded.
Instructions from Berlin received
BY Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador. directing him to ask for
Q bill Of particulars. did not say
whether Germany would recall tho
attaches as requested. In some quar-
ters II was intimated. however. that
even II the request Is granted. the
German ambassador will not ask the
United States to obtain safe conduct
for the two men: that unless the
United States OF it's own motion OBJ
tains safe conduct. not only for Cap
tains Boy-Ed and Won Papen. but for
their successors, to reach the United
States. Captains Boyd and Won Pa
pen will remain In this country In .
private capacity.
At the state department there was
nothing TO show that the United
States has modified its original In
tention In regard to the recall-name-
ly, that the two men should withdraw
from the country. II was stated post
lively that unless a safe conduct was
asked. the United States would not
voluntarily arrange for II. The POSI-
tion was taken that actually Q safe
conduct would be superfiuous, mas
much as the two attaches will retain
their diplomatic immunity from SELF

would protect them. but should
safe conduct not be obtained the re-
sponsibility OF the United States In
the premises would not extend be-
yond the three-mile limit.
Adding to the tension at this end
over the impasse which has de-
veloped over the demand for the re-
call. Of the two attaches, the state de.
partment has received a cipher dis
patch from United States Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin. about which there
Is much secrecy. but the contents Of
which are believed TO have described
the effect Of the recall request in Ger

barrass the negotiations between the
two governments for settlement of

Possibility Of Damage in the KAw

When Heavy Rains

Topeka, May 2s.-The possibility
CT serious foundations along the
Kaw valley was practically dissipat-
ed last night when reports we're re-
ceived from Manhattan that the riv-
er had remained stationary through
out the day and had begun to fall
slowly in the early evening. The
Kaw there is thirteen feet above the
normal. having reached q height OF
seventeen feet. The flood stage 10
twenty-five feet and unless severe
rains occur today there is NO posi-
bility that It will reach that height.
The Blue is also falling at Manhat-
tan.
Although light rains occurred
throughout the Kaw river water
shed yesterday 1t is not believed
they will add any serious complica-
tons to high water troubles.
