WASHINGTON', Dec. 3. Score tnry Lansing is understood to have informed Count Von Dornstorff, the German ambassador, that Captain Boy-Ed, naval attache to tho Ger man embassy, lind rendered himself jtcrsonn non gr..tu to tho United Stales government as a result of hi connection with tho conspirators of tlie Hamburg-American line, who yes terday wore found guilty in New York. The subject was said to have been tho subject of discussion at a cub ine.t meeting today. Secretary Lan sing, at tlio end of tho cabinet meet ing, flatly refused to answer any pie-lions on tho subject, and other members of tho cabinet were equally silent. The German embassy also refusal to talk about it. Tim stato department was believed to bo of tho opinion that as Captain Hoy-Ed had admitted It in connection with tho financing ol'.thu operations which the Now York jury gave a ver dict as being illegal there was noth ing olo to do but infonu the German got eminent of its views.

This is the usual diplomatic proced ure in the case of an attache of an embassy or a legation whom the Vnited States finds objectionable. Captain Boy-Ed's activities in tho Tnited States since the war began have been tho subject of close atten tion by tho stato department and the department of justice. Several times it had been broadly hinted that the American government might intimate to Germany that tho operations of her naval attache wero objectionable, Willi the inevitable suggestion that his connection with the embassy should be (criniiiafcd. Much time, .however, tho threatened action camo to nothing. While the stato department consistently refus ed to discuss the unptaiu's case, the German embassy intimated that it had reason to believe he had done nothing lor which lie should bo con billed. Several weeks ngo Captain Boy Ed and Prince Von Hatzfol.lt of the embassy staff went on a tour to the Pacific coast, and it was reported they were going to Mexico. Tho re port that the naval attache was about to be removed was again revived. It was stated at that timo that he was going to tho German embassy in Mexico City, as that was about the only foreign capital he could reach because of the allied control of the boas.

When Chnrlcs Trovolynn in tho Iiouko of commons last week ventur ed to express tho view thnt'thoro is nothing disgraceful or humiliating in obtaining hy negotiation rather than by fighting tho aims "for which wo aro fighting," nnd urged tho govern ment to inform tho house if nny pro posals of pcaco emtio cithor from neutrals or belligerents, ho wns hut repenting opinions which led his dis tinguished and scholarly father to withdraw from tho cabinet with Lord Morloy nnd John Hums wheu war wiib declared.

Tho labor clement that nt ouo timo wns inclined to bo lukewarm in tho support of tho war is now credited with being among its most outspoken adherents, labor lead ers having thrown themselves eagerly into backing Lord Derby in his re cruiting cnmpnigii. It is admitted ou every hand thnt tho fortunes of war do not nt iresent favor tho allies. Tho Dardanelles campaign, particularly the landing at Suhi Bay, is n tremendous disap pointment', the mlvauoo at Loos has boon followed by tho gonuial belief that, ns at Nmive Chapcllo; n brilliant opportunity to make tho most of a promising opening was lost; tho ur inal lois of tho Serbian teiritory nml the precarious position of tho urmy that lauded at Saloniki aro not tin derentimated.
