Washington, Dec. 6.-Serious ten
sion has developed over the demand
that Captains Boy-Ed and Won Paper
be recalled, and there were indications
that an actual break might come with
Germany. Germany is likely to insist
that safe conducts for new attaches
must be given before she will re-
call the men who have become per-
soma non grata, and also to demand a
bill Of particulars as to the charges
against them.
Both of these demands are contrary
to all precedent. Under diplomatic
usage the mere word of government
that any man accredited to it is un-
welcome has always been enough to
insure his recall. If Germany, there
fore, insists on these points, officials
admit a situation novel in diplomacy
and charged with all kinds of pos
sible trouble will develop.
The replacing of the German at
taches, it is understood, will be con-
sidered by the state department as
something entirely apart from their
recall, and Secretary Lansing is eX-
pected to insist that the recall be Civ
en- before any other matter is taken
up. The state department has the
power to return their passports to
both diplomats, thus automatically
ending their right to remain in this
country, and then to insist that they
depart
1t is hoped that no action will be
necessary, as it would be certain to
which the department has, gone to
great lengths to avoid. The state de-
partment was worried today at the
revival of rumors that Germany might
bar Minister Whitlocks return to
Brussels. The possibility of such a
complication with the Lusitania case
still unsettled and with the dispute
sure to arise over the Ancona, as yet
in its initial stages, is admittedly
worrying Washington officials.
Germany's defiant attitude today
largely overshadowed the question of
what further action this government
plans toward wiping out the system
which Boy-Ed and Won Papen organ
lied.
Sovereignty Is Violated.
New York, Dec. 6.-"The activities
of the German agents in this country
as reported in the newspapers, consti-
tute amazing and fragrant violation
of the sovereignty Of the United States
of America"
This is the declaration of Professor
Ellery Stowell, the famous Columbia
University expert on internationa
law, in reference to the startling facts
brought out in the trial, in the New
York federal court, of the Hamburg
American Steamship Company's Off
cals on charge of conspiring to senC
supplies to German sea raiders from
Amer lean ports, contrary to The
usages of neutrality.
Professor Stowell has tust given al
exposition of the bewildering tangl,
of international law involved in tn,
trial of these alleged German conspi
rators, taking as a base the evidence
already introduced which is INTENDED
by the prosecution to show that Ger
man agents had chartered a steame
in New York to supply ships at Sc;
days before Germany was at wa
