Announcement TO this effect VAS
made this afternoon by Secretary
Lansing in the following statement.
"On account Of what this govern
nent considers their improper 8ctivi-
lies in military and naval matters
his government has requested the
Immediate recall OF Captain Boy Ed
and Captain Won Papan as they are
no longer acceptable to this govern
ment.''
The action Of this government
against the German attaches is due q.
no single incident in either case. but
was based on an accumulation Of Inn
proper activities connected with the
handling Of German military and
naval matters tn this country The
connection Of at least one OF the at
faches with the plot on the part Of
certain German interests to set Huorta
up again In Mexico. as a means of
EN- EMBARRASSING this government. figured
more than any other single incident
In the determination to adopt a dras-
tic course toward these representa-
tives OF the German government.
The request for the recall of the two
attaches was made to the German am
bassador verbally three days ago.
Count Won Eernsterff informed Secre-
tary lansing today that the Berlin
government had acknowledge receipt
Of his dispatch. hut he had not yet
received any orders In the matter.
There is no doubt that Germany will
In accordance with custom yield to the
request OF this government.
To say that the action against vor
Papen and Boyd came as 2 sur
prise in Washington. is putting IL mild
lv. The conviction had gradually set
tied upon Washington, and appar-
entity with good reason, that the ad-
nninistration was seeking 10 avoid the
friction with Germany which q de-
Inand OF this character would canse.
It has been known here for months
that information was In the hands al
the state Department which war
ranted a request for the recall Of the
attaches II this government desired
tn follow that course. Up to this tire
however. there had been q very APP
parent effort on the part of the state
Department Ia ward of any such de
velopment.
