Won PAPEN AND
BOY-ED MUST GO
United States 10 Danish German
Attaches.
FOR DIRECTING PLOTS
Immediate Recall OF Both Is Asked.
Attaches Activities In Military
and Naval Matters Found
Objectionable.

Observation-Disclosures complications
in the relations Of the United States
and Germany developed, when Secre-
tary OF State Lansing announced:
"On account of what this Govern
ment considers improper activities in
military and naval matters, this Gov
ernment has requested the immediate
recall of Captain Boyd, the German
naval attache, and Captain Won Papen,
the German military, attache, as they
are no longer acceptable to this Gov
ernment"
The Secretary acted with the full APP
proyal OF President Wilson, who is un-
derstood to have determined that the
United States shall be rid of foreign
officials who make themselves obnox-
ious by activity harEful 10 the best
interests of the nation.
Won Bernstorff Notified.
The formal statement marked the
conclusion Of an exhaustive investiga-
ton of the activities OF German repre-
sentatives in this country, conducted
by the State Department and the De
partment Of Justice.
The Secretary of State made it
clear that the recall of the German
military and naval attaches was not
due to the verdict in the New York
Federal Court against representatives
of the Hamburg Line, found
guilty Of conspiracy in connection with
the supplying Of German warships at
sea.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff called at
the State Department and advised Sec
retary Lansing that the message de-
manding the recall OF Captain Boy-Ed
and Captain Won Papen had been de-
livered in Berlin. but that no reply
had been received. Therefore. no re-
quest has so far been made for the
safe conduct of the two attaches to
their own frontiers.
II was authoritatively stated that
the United States does not expect and
would not countenance any delay on
the part of the German Government
in replying to the demand for the re-
call Of the two diplomats. The re-
port was so phrased as 40 necessitate
immediate action by Germany,
The demand for the recall OF the
two attaches is the elimination of a
long series Of charges and counter
charges. plots and counter-plots, in
volying American neutrality violations,
which have been thrashed out by the
Federal Government
II also became known that the de-
partment has under consideration the
case Of Alexander Won Nuber, Aus
tro-Hungarian Consul-General at New
York, whose name frequently has been
mentioned with those of Boy-Ed and
Won Papen in connection with activi-
ties which have been frowned upon by
the United States Government.

Hertzlan Waves.

Hertzian waves are electric waves,
so called from Heinrich Hertz (ls57.
1894. a German engineer and scien-
tist who first demonstrated the possi-
bility of wireless telegraphy. In the
course OF his investigations he dem.
onstrated some new principles regard
ing the transmission of light and eloc-
tricity and his premature death was
regarded as a distinct loss to science.
Wireless telegraphy is sometimes
called Hertzian telegraphy. The pres
ent Marconi method of telegraphing
without wires is by means of "Hert-
zian waves" which pass through the
ether-the medium that fills all space,
and remains after air has been ex-
hausted The apparatus generates
and transmits these waves. the exis-
tence and operation of which were
FIRST demonstrated by Hertz.

NEW PROTEST
| SENT ENGLAND.
RequlsItioning Of American
Ships Causes Stir.
TO GO BEFORE CONGRESS
Action Declared Unprecedented-De-
nounced As Utterly lndefenslble
Under international
Law

Washington action OF Great
Britain in requisitioning the American
steamships Genesee and Hooking,
owned by the American Transatlantic
Steamship Company has developed
the most acute issue between the two
governments since the beginning o.
the war.
At the State Department Il was de-
scribed as "unexampled as an arbitrary
act and without precedent as viola
tion OF international law"
To Go Before Congress.
The entire matter will be called to
the attention OF Congress. A resolu-
tion will be introduced in the Senate
directing the Foreign Relations Com
mittee to investigate the blockade OF
neutral ports by Great Britain and re-
port what legislation Is needed to pro
tect American vessels. The resolution
will lie on the table for two OF three
days for discussion. In this way the
whole question of British treatment Of
American commerce will be threshed
out. Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
has already prepared a lengthy speech
on the subject
Protest Sent London.
In the meantime the state Depart
ment mas protested to Great Britain.
If she declines to heed the protest the
department will demand peremptorily
that the vessels be released and that
the act be disavowed. State Depart
ment officials said that if Great Britain
should refuse redress must be sought
elsewhere than in the department.
This was interpreted to mean that the
Administration would lay the whole
matter before Congress and ask it to
decide what TO do.
There is no precedent or authority
in international law to justify the re-
questioning Of a vessel before its case
has been adjudicated in the prize
court, according to Cone Johnson,
solicitor for the State Department.
mo neutral ship would be safe from
seizures on the high seas If such are
permitted to go unchallenged in a
vigorous manner" said Mr.. Johnson.
"The requlsitionlng of the two vessels
is utterly contrary to our conception
of international law"
II was admitted at the State Depart,
ment that the position already adopted
by this Government makes It i'm
perative that prompt and vigorous
action be taken in this instance. 1t
was pointed out that Great Britain,
in requistioning the vessels before the
prize courts had passed upon the
legality OF their seizure and detention,
had acted upon an order in council.
The United States long ago notified
Great Britain that it would not rec.
ognize orders in council.
