GERMAN ATTACHES
ASKED TO OUT i. S.
CAPT. KARL BOY-ED AND CAPT.
FRANZ Won PAPEN'S WITH
DRAWAL REQUESTED.
ACTIVITIES ARE IMPROPER
President Wilson Is Determined That
United States Shall Be "Rid of For
sian Officials Who Make Them
selves Obnoxious"

Washington, Dec. 6. Immediate
withdrawal of Capt. Karl Boy-Ed and
Capt. Franz Won Papen, respectively
naval and military attaches of the
German embassy, has been requested
by the state department.
In making formal announcement Of
this action Secretary Lansing said
the attaches had rendered themselves
persona non grata to the United
States government by improper &C
tivities in connection with naval and
military matters.
The secretary acted with the full
approval of President Wilson who is
understood to have determined that
the United States shall be rid Of
foreign officials who make themselves
obnoxious by activity harmful to the
best interests of the nation"
Won Nuber Also May Go.
1t also became known that the
department has under consideration
the case of Alexander Won Nuber,
Austro-H Hungarian consul general at
New York, whose name frequently
has been mentioned with those Of
Boyd and Won Papen in connection
with activities which have been
frowned upon by the United States
government. 1t was intimated that
the state department also was con-
sidering whether any step should be
taken regarding other high officials
of foreign embassies in Washington
The complaints against Won Paren
and Boyd were accumulative, dat
ing back to the early days of the
European war. The case against
them is peculiar, not being capable
OF legal proof. 1t consisted of an ac-
emulation Of suspicious, circum-
stances and conditions which con-
nected the attaches with attempts to
violate the neutrality laws of the
United States.

Pope in Consistory Will Urge Quick

st. Paul, Dec. Archbishop John
Ireland of st. Paul again stands in the
line for the red hat. His name, it is
said, will be before Pope Benedict
shortly in a consistory at the Vatican

At the archbishop's residence it was

AERIAL DUEL HIGH ABOVE SEA
French Aviator Bring Down German
A~eroplane Which Falls Into Water
Of Belgian Coast.

Paris, Dec. "Details Of the aerial
duel in which a German aeroplane was
brought down into the sea off the Bel
gian coast have just been given by
the French aviator who performed the
feat.
Although 1t was very cold on that
Sunday morning" said the aviator, II

ognized as one of our best marksmen.
"As we approached the Dixmade-

Washington, Dec. 4. - Republican

Congress, with Representative Mann
of Illinois as candidate for speaker
and thus again minority leader. The
140 representatives present acted
unanimously. except in one instance,
when Representative Cooper of Wis

wal to the allies. If such a measure
is introduced, as it in all probability
will be, some lively arguments on the
neutrality question may be expected.
The president is known t be of the
same mind o on this question as
he was last session, that is, that an
embargo IN arms, far from assuring
the United States impartiality in the
war, would actually be in direct vio-
lation of true neutrality.
Indications of the bitterness to
characterize the battling over the
Philippine question have already been
seen in the attacks of Republican
members of the insular affairs COM
mittees upon the administration Of
Harrison, Democrat,
appointed less than two years ago by
President Wilson. Charges of mis-
management made in public, state
ments by the Republicans of the in
sular affairs committees have been re-
futed by Democratic members who
have visited the islands recently. Leg
islation will be r~eintroduced providing
limited autonomy for the Philippines.
Just how limited it shall be will form
the chief subject of controversy over
its passage.
OF the other island possessions Of
the United States, Porto Rico prom
ises to furnish topic for considerable
argument. Recent Investigation by
the industrial relations commission
into labor conditions of the island
produced shocking revelations.
Mexico win Demand Attention.
The Mexican policy always may be
counted upon to occupy a conspicuous
position in the limelight of congress-.
AS depredations, loss of American
lives and property, and disorders con-
tinue In the turbulent republic, Re-
publican members are gathering am
munition for vigorous attacks upon
the ADMINISTRATIONS recognition of
Carranza. The administration, how
ever, is confident that the situation is
clearing up and that conditions will
be SO improved before the first of the
year that the Mexican muddle will be
taken entirely out of politics in the
coming presidential campaign.
Antidumping legislation will be
brought in early in the session upon
recommendation of the department Of
commerce, and perhaps of the presi-
dent. This measure will aim to pre-
vent the dumping of European goods
into the United States after the war
at below-the-market prices to regain
lost trade. 1t is proposed to impose
a tax upon such goods sufficient to
bring their selling price in America up
to the regular market price.
An amendment to the antitrust
laws to permit American manufacture
ers to combine for the purpose of
maintaining cooperative selling agen-
cies abroad will be attempted also.
Under the present laws American cor
porations find prohibitive the cost of
operating individual selling agencies
in European countries because OF
government supervision of the mar
kets there.
Laws probably will be enacted on
suggestion of the department of JUS
tice to facilitate the prosecution Of
violation Of the neutrality statutes.
The department has found it very diff
ficult TO make cases against the per-
petrators of the plots against NUM-
lions factories and shiDning

guilty in the federal district court
Of having violated the laws Of the
United States in sending coal and
other supplies to German cruisers in
the South Atlantic in the first few
months of the European war. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty on
each of two indictments. The specific

for each Indictment is two years i'm
prisonment and $4,000 fine.

In reaching It's decision the jury IS
reported to have taken only one bal
lot and this after several hours of dis
cussion of the evidence in minute de-
tails.
An appeal, 1t seemed certain, will
be made to the federal court of APP
peals and In case the verdict Is up
held, to the supreme court of tho Unit

In the meantime, the defendants
will probably remain at liberty under
$4,000 bail each as 1t Is the present
intention of the government not to be
asked that the bond be increased.

verdict are:
