WASHINGTON', Dec. 3 Tho stato
department nnnounccd formally lato
today that It had asked for tho recall
of Captain )oy-Etl, and Captain Von
Papon, naval and military attaches
respectively of tho German ambassy
hero, bocniiBo of tho "objcctlonablo
activities In connection with military
and naval matters."
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.
Hy informing tho ambaasodor that
the attaclie is personn non grata the
I'uited Status Iuuvok it with tlie Ger
man government as to the manner, in
which Captain Hoy-I'll shall termin
ate his connection with tho embassy.
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.

Tho moro tho .fortunes of war ap
pear to turn npninst llio allies tho
less tho British seem inclined to lis
ten with pntlenco to any stijrscsHon
that pcaco can como through other
means than militury achievement.
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.
Moreover, his statement that term
ination of tho war by negotiation
would give a greater guaranteo of
permanent pcaco, because less hatred
would bo engendered, served to em
phasize tho spirit of tho houso and
thu icoplo nt large. Bonar Law said
it was useless folly to pretend to be
lievo that Germany would give up
Belgium, Poland nnd Alsace ho
might havo ndded Sorbin unlit film
wns beaten. T. P. O'Counor suid
that such it speech would bo forbid
den in tho French chamber, the Rus
sian dtimn or the Qennnn rcichstmr,
and tho discussion closed with tho
announcement of n third member that
Mr. Trovolyau's constituents In York
shire had already selected another
liberal for his scat its they could nut
tolerate his opinions.
All observers ngrco that tho penco
advocates in Croat Britain have dwin
dled in numbers. 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. The attltudo of Grccco
and Iliimania, tho disagreements in
the eabitiet and other disturbing fac
tors are all weighed in tho balanco
nml contribute to a general appre
hension Hint things nro not going well,
us Mr. Churchill expressed it in his
apology. Still tho British nro not dis
mayed ami tho universal belief is that
any chnnoollory which "sounded"
Downing street ou the possibility of
peace would find no welcome. That
"men, munitions nnd money" will win
the war is tho common conviction
that no ndvcmitv has shaken.
