|DR. RITTER GETTING
IN BAD AT CAPITAL

Washington. Mar. l.--An accuru-
lation OF annoying activities OF DR..
Paul Ritter, Swiss minister to the
United States. and Germany's indirect
representative here. has tended to put
him in the same near-persona non
grata class in which German Am
bassador Won Bernstorff several times
found himself following his propa-
ganda schemes OF the last two years.
While government heads refused to
comment officially on the matter
some privately admit that the admin
istration Is beginning TO believe that
Dr. Ritter inherited not only Bern
storff's diplomatic work here. but that
he has taken up. as well. certain Ger
man propaganda work that may force
a flat showdown between himself
and the state department.
The first evidence OF this sort OF
work was Rittcr's dissemination OF
reports that Germany was anxious for
German-American conference, at
which all points at issue between the
two nations could be discussed
This propaganda work was started
exactly one week after severance OF
German-American relations
/ What chiefly incensed Secretary
Lansing and President Wilson was
the fact that Dr Ritter made his
peace conference" suggestions to
newspapermen several hours before
the state department had any idea OF
them II was learned today that his
hurried trip TO the state department
within few hours after he per.
mitted" the peace conference" news
to go out through the press, was In
response to an urgent request" tina,
he call on Lansing.
1t is understood that his plans
Germany later announced II origin
ated with Ritter himself. and not
from the German foreign oiiice--met
with such brusque rebuff that II fell
flat.
OHicials believe that the plan, by
tho very nature OF the way II was
made public, was an appeal over gov.
ernment officials heads to the people
chiefly the pacifist element, to urge
such a conference.
The latest bit OF obvious German
propaganda work by DR.. Ritter came
yesterday, when he--once more
through the press---let II be known
that Germany proposed to detail Ave
American consular officers until Ger.
many was assured all her consular Of
Hcers and other officials were not he

Diplomacy required that Ritter
communicate this to the state depart

ed that Ritter leave II to the state

government TO publish the fact,
