Germany WANTS LAWS OF
UNITED STATES OBSERVED
Tothe Letter So as to End VAR
lous Alleged Violations of
American Neutrality.
C0NSULS ARE INSTRUCTED
Germans Also Asked 10 Observe
the Laws of State Where
in They Reside.
tsY AsseeiArre rRtrs,

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Germany,
through Count Won Bernstorff, has in
structed all German consuls in the
United States to admonish German cit
liens IN their districts to scrupulously
observe American laws. This was
done In an effort to end various alleged
violations Of American neutrality.
The ambassador acted on instruc-
tons from the Berlin foreign Office.
The action was announced today in
this official statement from the German
embassy:
In consequence Of cases which have
occurred of late the German ambassa-
dor has sent instructions to all Ger
man consuls in the United States to
strongly impress upon German citizens
living in their districts that It Is their
duty to scrupulously 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 German government, 1t was said,
looks with great disfavor upon any
such conduct and desires that they
shall not engage in any undertaking
in any way outside the law.
1t was not disclosed whether spe-
cif1c cases had been brought to the at
tention of the German government, but
1t was made clear that Berlin officials
want the United States and its people
to understand that they have not
countenanced any illegal affairs with
which German citizens or sympathizers
in this country have been connected.
Count Won Bernstroff's instructions
were received last night and were for
warded to German consuls Immediate
~.
Administration officials were much
interested in the statement issued by
Count Won Bernstorlf and expressed
themselves as much pleased.
1t was said the instructions to Ger,
man consuls were not the result of any
action Of the United States. Officials
thought the step might do much to re-
lieve troublesome conditions which
have manifested themselves almost
since the beginning of the war.
1t Is understood the Berlin foreign
Office learned that public opinion in
this country was being affected by
activities Of sympathizers concerned in
passport frauds. bomb plots and sim
liar operations.
