II a ASKS RECALLS CAPT. BOY ED AND CAPT. VON PA- PEN DECLARED PERSONA NON QftATA TO GOVERNMENT. GERMAN SCOUTING PARTY IN THE CHAMPAGNE ay % msm ADMITTED CONSPIRACY IN U. S. Secretary Lansing Announces at , Washington That Improper Actlvt* ' ties in Military and Naval Matters Caused Action Against Attaches. Washington. Dec. 6.--The state de­ partment announced formally on Frit day that It had asked for the recall of Captain Boy-Ed and Captain von Pa pen. naval and military attaches, re­ spectively, of the German embassy here, because of the "objectionable ac­ tivities in connection with military and iiaval matters." * Secretary Lansing informed Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassa­ dor, that Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache to the German embassy, had rendered himself persona non grata to the Uni­ ted States government as the result of his connection with the conspirators of the Ham burg-American line, who were found guilty in New York. The state department was believed to be of the opinion that as Captain Boy-Ed had admitted his connection with the financing of the operations which the New York Jury gave a ver­ dict as being illegal there was nothing else to do but inform the German gov­ ernment of its views. Secretary Lansing issued this state­ ment: "On account of what this govern­ ment considers improper activities in military and naval matters this gov­ ernment has requested the immediate recall of Captain Boy-Ed, German naval attache, and Captain von Papen, German military attache, as they are no longer acceptable to this govern­ ment" It is understood Count von Bern­ storff notified Berlin. By informing the ambassador that the attache is persona non grata, the United States leaves it with the Ger­ man government as to the manner in which Captain Boy-Ed shall terminate -his connection with the embassy. This is the usual diplomatic pro­ cedure in the case of an attache. Captain Boy-Ed's activities in the United States since the war began •have been the subject of close atten­ tion by the state department and th* department of Justice:. Several times it bas been broadly hinted that the American government might intimate to Germany that the operations of her naval attache were objectionable, with the inevitable sug­ gestion that his connection with the embassy should be terminated. Each time, however, the threatened action came to nothing. . Captain Boy-Ed first attracted the attention of the government in connec­ tion with the mTsuse of American passports by German reservists seek­ ing to slip through the allied lines to Join their armies. Some of the men in connection with whose cases the captain's name was mentioned now are serving terms in federal peniten- tlariea. 1 l«ater Captain Boy-Ed's name was mentioned in connection with the chartering of ships from American ports to supply fuel and food to Ger­ man warships. The same alleged connection came up again during the trials of the Ham. burg-American line officials Just con­ cluded in New York, in which wit­ nesses testified that Captain Boy-Ed handled $750,000. which came from Berlin for chartering the Bhips and furnishing them with supplies.

Adding to Her Lines. George M. Cohan engaged a young woman for one of his productions whose ambition excelled her abilities. One morning she went to Mr. Cohan: "I have only one line in the first act, Mr. Cohan," said she, "and but one in the second. Couldn't you give me a line for the third act, also?" Mr. Cohan thought for a moment Of all the trouble the girl had caused him, and of the exalted opinion she had of her poor acting. "Well, yes," replied Mr. Coha* "during the banquet scene in the third act you may enter and say: 'Here if a ham'." "Oh," she exclaimed, "and do I bring a ham on the stage with me?" "No," answered Mr. Cohan, "it is not a speech; it is a confession, my dear." Canada's Herring Fisheries.

Washington, Dec. 8.--The state de­ partment received another inquiry on Monday on the request for the Boy-Ed and Von Papen inquiry from the Ber­ lin foreign office, transmitted by Am ba^ssador Gerard. It was made known officially here that the United States would decline to go into the question of facts on the subject and would not disclose the sources of its information. Count von Bernstorff presented to the state department a communication asking for the reasons for the request for the withdrawal of Captain Boy-Ed and Captain von Papen, the German naval and military attaches, respec­ tively. It was stated authoritatively, though not in the communication, that the am­ bassador would under no considera tion ask the United States to get safe conducts for the attaches. The -Ger man government was represented as considering it incumbent upon the United States to return the attaches in safety to German territory and bring their successors here. All the action is considered by offi­ cials of the state department to be contrary to precedents of diplomatic procedure. While conferences upon the subject are in progress the two attaches, Captain Boy-Ed and Captain von Papen, will' remain within the United States. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, made emphatic denial of reports that Germany or German offi­ cial agents had been concerned in re cent attempts to set up a counter revo­ lution in Mexico.

CALL FIVE DEATH PLOTTERS Federal Grand Jury Returns Indict­ ments Against Breitung, Fay and Others--Murder New Charge. New York, Dec. 8.--Five additional indictments were returned by the fed­ eral grand Jury on Monday against Robert Fay, Walter Scholz, Max Brei­ tung, Dr. Herbert Kienzle, Englebert Bronkhorst, and Paul Daeche. All were charged with conspiracy to com­ mit murder, to commit assai^lt with deadly weapons and to destroy ships. The previous indictments against them merely charged them with at­ tempting to destroy ships. The orig­ inal charge referred to ships presum­ ably owned by the al^ed nations. The new indictments specifically state that the alleged conspiracy was di­ rected against Americans and ships owned in part or whole in this coun­ try. Assistant District Attorney Knox, who has been in charge of the case, explained that the indictments for conspiracy to commit murder did not necessarily mean that murder was planned, but that men who conspired to commit an act which might result in murder could be charged with the more serious crime.

For, while the movement of these heavy shipments has been wonderfully rapid, the resources of the different roads, despite enlarged equipments and increased facilities, have been strained as never before, and previous records have thus been broken in all directions. The largest Canadian wheat shipments through New York ever known are reported for the period up to October 15th, upwards of four and 4 quarter million bushels being exported in less than six weeks* and this was but the overflow of shipments to Montreal, through which point shipments wete much larger than to New York. Yields as high as 60 bushels of wheat per acre are reported bom all parts of the country; while yields of 45 bushels per acre are common.
