Interested, But Not ofhcially.

Disclosures of alleged activities of
German agents in the United States
contained in the papers seized by the
British from Capt. Won Papen. the
former German military attache here,
while they have commanded intense
interest, have brought no indication of
official notice. The general view Is
that the United States government
practically closed the incident when
it called for the withdrawal of Capt.
Won Papen and his colleague, Capt.
Boy Ed, the naval attache.
Much of the correspondence cabled
to this country is looked upon by most
officials as being little more than in
;teresting. That which purports to be
between Won Papen and Werner Horn
is eagerly awaited, however. as pos
sibly being link in the chain of evil
dence government agents collected re-
garding the attempted destruction OF
the railway bridge at Vanceboro, Me.
