Washington. Dec. 7.—3ecretary
of State Robert M. Lansing today
told Germany that the United States
Government’s request for the recall
of Captains Von Papen and Boy-Ed
due entirely because of their
military and naval activities.
The reply to the German Inquiry
was made in a long communication
delivered to the German Embassy,
and which was immedbtely
warded to Berlin. The Embassy re
fused to make any comment
The German Inquiry indicated
that the Berlin Foreign Office
tended to contest the withdrawal of
these attaches, under certain condi
tions.
No information was given out. as
to whether or not the reply would
meet the contention of the German
Government that it should know the
reasons for the request, it was
quite broadly intimated to the State
Department that if the request was
based on something other f.ian the
Hamburg-Amerlcan conspiracy trial
and the Archibald case, Germany
would decline to withdraw either
man.
The General impression is that
the Lansing reply, at some length,
repeats the fact that these officers
have become “persona non grata,”
because of their unbecoming mili
tary and naval activities, and that,
under diplomatic usage, it Is un
necessary to do more than to inti
mate that their presence is distaste
ful to this government.
Overnight advices from Berlin
indicated that Germany might with
draw the men, as had been request
ed, although it might press the State
Department for a bill of particu
lars.
The State Department’s position
is that it will jiot discuss the facts
nor will it reveal Its sources of In
formation.
