 THE SWISS MINISTER
SECRETARY SAYS DR. RlTTER'S CONDUCT HAS BEEN PERFECT
 " PROPER.

Washington, March '.--Sccretary Lansing, after q tclI today with Dr Paul Ritter. Swiss minister here ao- solved the minister of all blame for certain charges of undue German propaganda in his position in charge of German interests. The secretary said.
 'I consider Dr. Ritters conduct per fectly proper and right and regret very much the attacks made on him in the papers. It is a wrong impress. sion of the feeling here. We ought not to have any feeling against man doing his duty faithfully even if he is caring for the interests of a govern ment with which we have severed re- lations"
 Dr. Ritter had been charged in cer- tain newspapers Of having exceeded his authority as minister entrusted with carrying on any negotiations be- tween this country and Germany and of having made use of this position to further the German cause.
