Won Papen. recalled German military
attache from the United States, when
he reached Falmouth, England, showed
he made payments to persons charged
with responsibility for blowing up
bridges and munition plants in the
United States. aroused intense interest
here today.
II don't believe" was the only COM
ment Count Won Bernstorff. the Ger.
man ambassador, would make. In Ger
man diplomatic quarters the impress
sion was that it was possible that
Captain Won Papen had been connected
with the published documents by Brit
ish agents. 1t was argued that Won
Papen. with the knowledge that his
ship would be taken into a British port
for search. would have carried any such
correspondence even if he possessed 1t.
At the German embassy 1t was said
that the ambassador had paid consid-
erable money to Won Papen as salary
and the expense of such work as he
was expected to conduct as military at
tache. Embassy officials had no ac-
count Of his private bank account.
Administration officials declined to
comment on the dispatches pending re-
ceipt Of copies of the correspondence.
Responsible Only to Berlin.
1t was made. clear at the German en-
bassy today that Captain Won Papen
was In no way-responsible to the ana
bassador for his expenditures. ~
-It waas admitted had been Gtvcy'
money on various occasions F0r "
expenditure he was solely responsible.
1t was said, to the German war office.
Embassy officials do not regard the
situation as serious. They consider
that as Won Papen was withdrawn. the
question Is at an end and publication
OF evidence is now Of little Importance.
AS for the alleged payment of $700 to
Werner Horn, it was said at the en-
bassy that the money might have been
spent in counsel fees.
Embassy officials were interested. In

ceedings, reviewed today for the AS
sociated Press, the evolutions of the
orders in council. He said:
"The British government shows a
tendency now to shift around to the
American contention that the interna-
tional law which prevailed before the
present war must ultimately govern
Great Britain's assertion of her sea
power 1t is well that when the war
began the admiralty urged upon the
foreign office the necessity of the
declaration of an actual blockade. but
the latter believed the neutrals could
be better met by orders in council and
the government began it's interminable
agreements with neutrals.
Present Course Doomed to Fail.
"The compromise out of court by the
British government with the Chicago
packers is the best concrete effort Of
the government to modify the orders
to meet demands.
Great Britain's attempt to substi-
tute code Of her own which would not
form precedence, is doomed to fail, and
II should not be surprised il the foreign
office adoHts the course recommended
by the admiralty and declares an ac-
tual Blockade.
How strictly an actual blockade
has been enforced is a subject of specu-
lation. Even the British officials admit
that the declaration Of blockade
would would have strong backing in
American precedence"
Pail Mall Gazette Bitter.
The Pail Mall Gazette, discussing
American press reports regarding the
attitude the United States may adopt
with regard to the blockade question,
says: l ~
'If Count Won Bernstorff succeeds in
obtaining a quid pro quo for the out
ward recantation by Germany Of her
acts Of piracy and succeeds in enlist
ing the United States as one Of Ger
many's minor indirect allies in her ef-
forts to rule the world, we may expect
fresh attacks upon our Interpretation
of international law.
Should President Wilson choose to
walk the road constructed for him by
Germany, he should know where it will
lead him.
"The British empire, which Is she'd
ing blood and not ink for vindication Of
neutral rights has reached the stage
where 1t can not permit others to stay
it's weapons Of warfare.
Our right to prevent munitions and
