WITHDRAWAL
OF ATTACHES
IS DEMANDE
BOY-ED AND VON PAPEN
ARE REGARDED AS
OBNOXIOUS
NO REPLY FROM
GERMANY NEEDED
Offending Officers Will Be Given
Safe Conduct-Successors
Not Expected.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Tho immed
iate withdrawal of Captain Roy-Ed and
Von Papen, German naval and mili
tary attaches, was requested by the
state department three days ago, with
tho full approval of the president, it
was announced today. . Secretary
Lansing said Obst the attaches had
rendered themselves obnoxious by im
proper activities in connection wita
military and naval matters.
Although AmbassaJor von Hern
Ktorff received no reply from Germany
to his notification of tho United
States' decision, none was needed. It
wa3 .taken for granted that the at
taches would be ordered away. While
it is exnectod that tho United State"}
would obtain safe conduct for the
pair, it lo not likely ti'.int the allies will
permit their successors to como here.
Tho cases against the two aro not
capablo of legal proof, hut coardst
o? accumu.atlons of suspicions, suf
ficient to convince tho government
that their official >3tatus should bo dls
contiuubc.
The department considered that tho
attempts ^of the Hamburg-American
Gfflcers to supply Gorman warships
asd 'Boy-?d'p sloged connection willi
passport frauds and sending reports
to Austria through- James F, J. Arch
bald, in ono of which Von Papen re^
forred tb "thei? idbtlc Yankees,'' while
not It is clear that Eoy-Ed violated tho
neutrality laws in the Hamburg-Amer
ican cases, tho United States can act
through diplomatic ciiannels without
technical infringements.
Investigate Austrian CousnJ.
It io said that becauso investigations
arc ii nd cr TV a y io detcrniiuo the desira
bility of Austrian Consul Genoral Von
Huber, no action has boen, taken ro
jgardlng tho statement Issued by the
sumo ' to the department, of justice,
seemingly substantiating Dr. Gorlcars,
former Austrian consul, chargbs of
Austrian plots to ' wreck munition
plants. This statement bas been thc
subject, of a recent inquiry from . tt"ie
Austrlau foreign office through Am
bassador .Penfield.
Tho effect of tho action on German
public opinion, is absorbing officials

Tho state department was believed
to bo-cf tho opinion that as Boy-Ed
