German Citizens in u. S.

ished by Consuls
BERLIN FOREIGN
OFFICE GAVE ORDER
Action Taken to End Various Alleged
Violations of American Neutrality

Washington

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Germanv,
through Count Won Bernstorff, has in
structed all German consuls in the
United States to admonish German CIT
Izens in their districts to scrupulously

IN an effort to end various alleged vio-
lations of American neutrality. The
ambassador acted on instructions from
the Berlin foreign office.
The action was announced TODAY in
this official statement from the Ger
man embassy: "In consequence of
cases which have occurred of late the
German ambassador has sent instruc.
tion to all German consuls in the
United States to strongly impress upon
German citizens living in their dis
tricts that it is their duty scrupouslv
to obey the laws of the state in which
they reside
1t was said at the German embassy
that the instructions were designed to
prevent plots or lawlessness on the
part of German citizens who might be
disposed to engage in such. The Ger
man government, it is said, looks
with disfavor on any such conduct and
desires that they shall not engage in
any undertaking in any way outside
the law.
II was not disclosed whether spc.
cifie cases have been brought to the
attention of the German government
but it was made clear that Berlin of
fcials want the United States and its
people to know that they have not
countenaneed any illegal affairs with
which German citizens or svmpathizers
in this country have been connected
