WHY B0Y-ED AND
 VON PAPEN WENT
Correspondence Between U. s.
 and Germany Now in Print

Washington, Aug 17.-A more def mite official statement of the real req son for the recall of Captain Karl Boy- Ed, Naval Attache and Captain Franz von Papen, Military Attache, of the German Elm mbassy at Washington, is Obtainable from the new European White Book just issued by the state department containing additional cor respondence with belligerent govern ments relative to neutral rights and duties.
 The real reason for their recall was because of their "connection with the illegal and question: ble acts of certain persons within the United States" This is officially admitted in the White Book. It was generally suspected at the time of their recall that Boy-Ed and von Papen were regarded by the Washington governme ent as having had connection with "illegaI' as well as "questiona ble" acts.
 It was On December 1, 1915, that Secretary Lansing had an interview with Count von Bernstorff, the Ger man ambassador, in which the recall of the two attaches was requested. None of the correspondence was giv- en out at the time, but on the after noon of December 3, in making the annOuncem ent that the recall of Cap tains Boy-Ed and von Papen had been requested, Secretary Lansing dictated this statement:
 "On account of what this govern ment considers improper activities in military and naval matters, this gov ernment has requested the immediate recall of Captain Boy-Ed and Captain von Papen, as they are no longer ac- ceptable, or personae gratae, to this government"
 Lansing to BernstOrff.
 The white book just made public contains the following note from Secretary Lansing to Count von Bern- storff:
 Department of State
 Washington, Dec. 4, 1915.
 'Excellency.-Confir my con- versatiOn with you on December 1, have the honor to state that various facts and circumstances having come to the knowledge of the governme ent of the United States as to connection of Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache, and Captain vOn Papen, military attache, of the Imperial Germany em bassy, with the illegal and questionable acts of certain persons within the United States, the president reached the con- V1ctlon that the continued presence of these gentlemen as attaches of the em bassy would no longer serve the purpose of their mission, and would be unacceptable to the government
 The president, therefore, directed me to notify your Excellency, as I did
New Britain herald., 1916-08-17

orally, that Captain Boy-Ed and Cap tain von Papen are no longer accept able to the government of the United States as attaches of his Imperial Majesty's em bassy at Washington, and to request that your Fxcellency's gov ernment withdraw them immediately from their official connection with the Imperial German embassy.
 AS 1 informed you at the time of our interview, the government of the United States deeply regrets that this action has become necessary and be- lieves that the imperial government will realize that this government has in view of all the circumstances, no alternative course consistent with the interests of the two governments in their relations with each other."
 Accept &c.
 ROBERT LANSING.''
 At the time demand for the recall of the attaches 1t was the un- derstanding in Washington that Count von Bernstorff asked for a bill of par ticulars, and that this government re- fused to go into details. A note which the German ambassa dor was under stood to have written at the time ask ing for the facts against the attaches does not appear in the partial corre- spondence made public.
 Repeats Recall Demand.
 The notes now given out jump in dates from December to December 10, when, it now becomes known, Secretary Lansing found it necessary to send a sharp reiteration of his de- mand to the German ambassador for the recall of the two attaches. This note follows:
 "Department of State
 Wa shin gtOn, D. C., Dec. 10, 1915. My Dear MT. Ambassador:
 "On December 1, I informed Your Fxcellency that Captain BOy-Ed, the naval attache of your embassy, and Captain von Papen, the military at tache, were no longer personae gratae to my government and requested that the imperial government immediately recall the two attaches.
 ''As ten days have passed without the request of this governmen being compiled with and without commun1- cation from you on the subject other than your personal letter of the 5th inst, which in no way affected the fact that the two attaches were un- acceptable or presented a ground for delay, I feel compelled to direct your attention to the expectation of this government that it's request would be imm ediately granted.
 "I trust my dear ambassador, that you appreciate the situation and will urge upon your government a prompt compliance with the request in order that this government may not be compelled to take action without awaiting the recall of the attaches, an action this government does not desire to take but will be forced to take unless the imperial governm lent meets the express wish of this gov ernment without further delay. need not impress upon your Excel lency the desira bility of avoiding a circumstance which would increase the embarra ssment of the present sit uatlOn. l am, &c.,
 ROBERT LANSING."
 Count von Bernstorff's "personal letter of the 9th inst" to which allu-

sion is made is not included in the few von Papen and Boy-Ed papers now made public for the first time and has never been made public, This is the note to which allusiOn was made as having been delivered by Count von Bernstorff, asking for B statement of reasons for the recall of the attaches. This government re- trained from making any such state ment of it's reasons beyond that given in Secretary Lansing's note of Decem- Der 4
 Prompt response was made by Count von Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing's peremptory note of Decem- Der 10. On the same date the am- bassador sent the following:
 "German Embassy,
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 10, 1915
 MT. Secretary of State: In reply to your note No. 1,686 of the 4th of this month, I have the honor to in form your EXCellency that his Majes- ty the Emperor and King has been most gra ciously pleased to recall the naval attache of the Imperial em- bassy, Captain Boy-Ed, and the mili- tary attache, Captain von Papen
 T am instructed to beg your Ex- Cellency to obtain for the above named gentlemen and their servants, Gustav WinkOW and Otto Mahlow, a safe conduct for the return trip to Germany from the powers at war with the German Empire, and also to insure the trip of the successors of those gentlemen to the United States in the event of their being supplanted by his Majesty"

HUGHES RIGHT AT HOME,
Republican Candidate Delivers Port-

Portland, Ore, Aug. 17.-Charles E. Hughes before a large audience in the ice rink last night assailed the democratic party for it's policy toward the Philippines. We cannot afford in this country to lose sight of our na- tional obliga tions," MT. Hughes said. "Our friends on the other side were almost ready to say that we should abandon the Philippines. That was a matter of national honor. We as stunned obligations there which we are bound to discharge. And we ought not to consider the suggestion of scut- tling out of the Philippines to leave them in the predicament which you know perfectly we'll without my de scribing it."
