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 Embassy at Washington Is obtainable from the new European White Book just issued by the State Department containing additional correspondence with belligerent Gov ernments relative to neutral rights and duties.
 The real reason for their recall was because of their connection with the illegal and questionable acts of cer- tain persons within the United States" This is officially admitted in the White Book. It was generally sus- pected at the time of their recall that Boy-Ed and von Papen were regarded by the Washington Government as having had connection with Illegal as well as 'tquestionable' acts.
 It was on Dec. 1, 1915, that Secre- tary Lansing had an interview with Count von Bernstorff. the German Ambassador, in which the recall of the two attaches was requested. None of the correspondence was given out at the time, but. on thte afternoon of Dec. 3, in making the announcement that the. recall of Captains Boy-Ed and von Papen had been requested. Secretary Lansing. dictated this state ment: i4W
 1 'tOn 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 lvon Papen, as they are no longer ac- ceptable. or personae gratae. to this Government

'CHARGES AGAINST GERMAN
 NAVAL ATTACHE ARE TOLD IN NEW US. WHITE BOOK''

ernment refrained from making any such statement of its reasons beyond that given in Secreary Lansing's note of Dec. 4.
 Prompt response was made by Count von Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing's peremptory note of Dec. 10. On the same date the Ambassador sent the following:
 German Embassy,
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 10, 1915.
 MT. Secretary of State: In reply
 to your note No. 1,6S6 of the 4th
 of this month, have the honor
 to inform your Excellency that
 his Majesty the Emperor and
 King has been most graciously
 pleased to recall the Naval At
 tache, Captain Boy-Ed, and the
 Military Attache, Captain von Pa
 pen. -
 I am instructed to beg your
 Excellency to obtain for the
 above-named gentlemen and their
 servants, Gustav Winkow and Ot-
 to Mahlow, a safe conduct for
 the return trip to Germany from
 the powers at war with the Ger
 man Empire, and also to insure
 the trip of the successors of those
 gentlemen to the United States
 in the event of their being sup
 planted by his Majesty.
 Accept, &c.,
 J. BERNSTORFF.
 Acknowledged by Lansing
 Secretary Lansing acknowledged this note on Dec. Il. saying that he had asked the powers at war with Germany for safe conducts for the two attaches and their servants. But Secretary Lansing did not ask for safe conducts for successors for Cap tains Boy-Ed and von Papen. His note of Dec. Il says on this point:
 Upon the receipt of notice that his Majesty the Emperor and King has designated the successors of these gentlemen, and after the Government of the United States has decided upon their acceptability, it will be my plea sure to- request the powers at war with the German Empire to provide safe conducts for their passage to the United States"
 Only two other no.es of the series are given in the new White Book. Both were from Secretary Lansing to Count von Bernstorff., Tn one of these, dated Dec. 15,- 1915, Secretary Lan- sing informed the German Ambassa- dor that the British and French Am bassadors had advised the State De- partment that "safe conducts will be furnished to Captains Boy Ed and von Papen for their return to Germany, it being understood that they will take the southern route to Holland" This note explained that the Entente AL lies Ambassadors requested informa- ton as to the vessel and date of sail- ing of the two Attaches.
 . Secretary Lansing's note of Dec. Is added: "It is also understood that they will, of course. perform no un- neutral act, such as carrying dis patches to the German Government. 9 Secretary Lansing''s note on Dec. IS to the German Ambassador was a mere formal acknowledgement of the Bernstorff note of Dec. 10. stating that the Emperor had recalled the Attaches, and enclosed two authentf- cated sets of copies of notes from the British and, French Ambassador which would be regarded by officers of the allied cruisers as safe conducts for Captains Boy Ed. and von Papen, also a passport for each of the At -taches.

JUDGE SAYS LAWS
Be ENFORCED TOO

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2.-That the
new Georgia prohibition laws will be
strictly enforced in Fulton county, 50
far as it lies within the power of the
criminal division of Fulton county su-
perior court to enforce them, was made
emphatically clear by Judge Ben Hill,
who presides over the criminal divi-
sion, in charge delivered yesterday to
the new grand jury.
Especially significant was the por
ton of Judge Hills charge in which
lie called attention to the fact that the
laws allow an individual to have in
his possession only two quarts of whis-
key, four quarts of wine, or forty eight
pints of beer.
about the most advisable thing for
persons who have laid in a supply be
yond the limit allowed by law is to
dispose of their surplus without de-
lay" declared Judge Hill. "And in
this connection it is well to note that
the law prohibits the giving away of
prohibited liquors, SO that the only
lawful way for a person to dispose of
lis surplus is to pour it into sewer
or otherwise destroy it,"
Atlanta streets were filled yester-
day with wagons moving beer saloon
bars and other equipment from the
beer saloons to breweries and ware
houses. About half or more of the sa-
looms were owned by breweries with
men employed to run them, and with
the closing of the saloons the owners
