"A Mean Performance."

Springfield. Mass, Republican:
There may be some doubt as to the
right Of the British authorities to
seize Capt. Won Papen's private
papers, in view of the safe conduct
he had been granted at the request
of the United States government. 1t
will strike many people, not German
sympathizers, as a mean performance.
The assumption of the British that
the safe conduct covers virtually no
more than a mans physical safety
and protection seems strained; IL his
private papers can be seized, why not
his teeth filings, his hairbrush and
his underclothes? Why not ship him
across the channel rolled in a blan-
ket and call it a safe conduct? But
that aside The papers Of Capt. Won
Papen seized by the British officials
actually prove nothing; but they do
increase the SUSPICION with which his
activities as German military attache
at Washington have been regarded
and they strengthen the justification
the president had in demanding that
the German emperor recall him. What
singular folly for a man SO expert
enced as the captain to carry any
thing which would embarrass the Ger
man cause if confiscated by his coun-
try's enemies
