The letter follows:

It was broadly intimated to the
state department that if the request
was based on something else than the
developments of the Hamburg-A -Ameri-
can line conspiracy trial or the case of
James F. sJ. Archibald, the American
war correspondent who secretly car
ried dispatches for Captain Won
Papen, Germany would decline to
withdraw either of the men.
The general impression was that
Secretary L.ansing's reply at some
length repeats that the two officers
have become persona non grata be-
cause Of their military and naval &C
tfvities and that. further. under the
diplomatic usages existing between ma
tions, it is unnecessary for one gov
ernment. to do more than intimate to
another that the presence of dipIo-
matte officer is tdistastefuI.
Overnight advices from Berlin indi-
cate that the German government
would withdraw the officers as re-
quested, although it might press for a
bill of particulars. The position of the
state department is that it Will not dis
cuss the facts in the case or reveal
the sources of, it's information which
have led to the decision that the ac-
Iivities Of the two German attaches
make their presence in this country
no longer desirable
The department of Justice is still
investigating reports that German
agents were back of alleged plans for
a counter revolution in Mexico to be
headed by General Huerta. Attorney
General Gregory said today, however,
that no new information on the sub
ject had been called to his attention
recently.
One reason why the American gov
ernment will not furnish Germany
with specific reasons for the request
for the recall of Captain Boy-Ed and
Captain Won Papen. Reports inyolv-
ing other men in this country are un-
der investigation and these the gov
ernment does not desire to disclose
until it is ready to take further; action,
Secretary Lansing also sent q reply
to Germany through Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin. In making its in
quiry, Germany also used two avenues
of communication, the German am
bassador here and the American am
bassador in Berlin.
While there was no indication to-
day that the text of Secretary Ian
sings communication would be made

TEUTONS. AND BULGARS
AIMING AT MACEDONIA

London, Dec THE campaign
against the main Serbian armies hav-
ing been closed, it is expected that
Gen. Won Gallwitz, with his German
Macedonia in an effort to crush the
French and British armies before they
become much stronger.
Information from Berlin indicates
that the German forces engaged in
the earlier movements in the Balkans
have now been detached for the pilr-
pose of sharing in the attack on the
Franco-British forces along the south
ern y Macedonian front. Dispatches
from Athens partly corroborate this
theory, as it is reported that two Ger
man divisions are cooperating with
the Bulgarians near Strumitza-
There is little to report from the
other fronts except the usual minor
operations. The French, however, are
carrying on a particularly energetic
bombardnent of the German lines in
the Champagne In Mesopotarnia the
Germans are beginning to show con-
siderable interest in the campaign,
which is developing in favor of their
Turkish allies. It is reported from
Geneva, that the Germans under Field
Marshal Won Der Goltz are prepar-
ing an extensive campaign which will
be directed toward the Persian gulf
by way of Bagdad.
Further impetus is given to peace
talk by the PapaI consistory, at which
Pope Benedict delivered an address
calling upon the beDHgerents to make
a just and immediate peace.
The effect of the dismissal of the
German military a175 naval attaches
in Washington on the Ger>~on public
is not ascertainab1e yet, as the Ger
man newspapers have not been per-
mitted to publish even the bare facts
of the incident.

Washington, Dec. THE alleged ac-

tigation here by the federal grand
jury. The District Marsha1's state
ment that the organization was ffnanc-

was the first official notice concerning
the alleged activities of Won Rintelen,

charge of trying to forge a passport.

Gueu, an employe of the New York
office of Warner Bros, corset man

and coroners now declare that there is
little doubt that he was murdered.
Gue1Ps skull was broken and other
wounds and bruises on his body indi-
Gated that he had been assaulted. The
coroners who have investigated say
they could not have been self-inhicted.
The young man was 38 years old.
He was employed in the Office of the
Warner Bros. at 225 Fifth avenue

than a year and lived with his wife,
who is less than, 20 ye3rs old. She is

DEMAND FOR RECALL
OF ATTACHES HERE
WITHHELD In BERLIN

E Berlin, Dec THE request receiv-
ed here from the United States for the
recall Of Captain Won Papen and Cap
tain Boy-Ed, military and naval at
taches respectively of the German
embassy at washington, undoubtedly
will be complied with in accordance
with. diplomatic usage. it is stated
However, Germany probably will ask
first to be informed of the grounds
on which the United States govern
nent bases the undestrabiIity of the
attaches.
News of the request for the recall
has not been published as yet by the
German press.
The above despatch is the first di-'
rect word to be received from Berlin
in regard to the probable action Of the
German government in response to
the request Of the. United States for
the recall Of the two attaches. Since
Germany already has asked Washing
ton for information as to the grounds
on which the United States bases its
request for a recall. it would appear
that this fact had not been made pub
lie in Berlin up to the time OF the
fling of the despatch.
