PROTESTS ACT
OF SEIZURE
German Envoy Says Britain
Should Not Have Taken
Won Papen Papers.
STATE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS
BRITONS DID NOT DO WRONG
Asserts Safe Conduct Document Re-
lated Only to Persons of Recalled
Attaches. Not to Belongings.

Count Won Bernstorh, the German
Ambassador, has made protest to the
State Department against the action
of the British authorities in seizing
the personal belongings and papers of
Capt Won Papen, the recalled military
attacfre of the German Embassy here.
UPON his arrival at Falmouth two
weeks ago.
1t is complained that the act was in
violation of the safe conduct assur-
ances given by the allied powers.
Commenting on the case. a high Ger
man official said yesterday: The Brit
ish safe conduct, seems to be mere
scrap OF paper" In this connection.
it has become known that the German
government will name no successors TO
Capts. Boyd and Won Papen.
While Ambassador Bernstorff main
tains that there was nothing incrimi-
mating in the documents seized and
declares that nothing disclosed in the
correspondence casts any cloud on the
embassy. his attitude is that the terms
of the safe conduct papers issued to
Capt. Won Papen were violated, as they
denied the right of search.
Applied Only to Their Persons.
State Department officials take a differ
ent view. They say the safe conduct re-
quested by the United States for the re-
called German attaches applied only to
their persons and not to any papers or
documents they might carry with them.
At the time the request was made, Sec
retary Lansing said no guarantee OF safe
conduct had been requested for the bag
gage or personal effects of the attaches.
Department officials said the papers tax
en- from Capt. Won Papen will be turned
over to the Department of Justice II any
thing discriminating is found in them.
The only comment Secretary Lansing
would make on the correspondence was
that he had not ordered Ambassador
Page to forward 1t to Washington. The
documents were turned over to Mr.. Page
by the British Foreign Office Mr.. Page
acted on his own initiative, the Secretary
said, in sending them here.
London, Jan. 16.-Payments by Capt.
Won Papen, the recalled military at
tache of the German Embassy at
Washington, to two persons charged
with playing important parts in the
activities of German agents in the
United States are disclosed by fur
ther examination of the documents
in the British governments posses
sion.
Stubs show that checks were given
to Paul Koenig, head of the police
service of the Hamburg-American
line, who is under arrest in New York,
and Hans Adam Won Wedell, who has
been indicted at New York for con-
spiracy. Koenig is said to have re-
ceived several checks for large sums.

THE battle in Eastern Galicia and
along the Bessara bian frontier is con-
tinuous. Fighting in the Toporoutz dis

than ever. Russian columns twelve and
fourteen lines deep attacked the Aus
