official announcement OF Emperor
Williams action was made by Secre-
tary Lansing. The emperor also re.
quested safe conduct for their success
ors. Action on this, however, will
await the selection Of the successors.
There was some speculation here to-
day as to whether Great Britain and
France would demand that the two
German attaches go under parole,
pledging themselves not to participate
in the European war. in some quar-
ters it was thought such a demand
might be made. Officials of the Ger
man embassy, however. are said to be-
lieve it improper to ask for safe con
duct for the attaches without qualifi.
cation, because their successors would
remove two fighting officers from Ger
many.
Officials were plainly gratified over
the outcome of the situation. AS a
result, Secretary Lansing now is free
to again take up negotiations with
Germany for settlement Of the Lusi-
tania controversy and the cases of
other foreign diplomatic and consular
officers. 1t is expected that the case
of Alexander Won Nuber, Austrian con.
sui general at New York. will be the
first to be acted upon.
