WHY RECALL OF
B
Bernstorff Presents Demand as to
Reason for Attache's Dismissal
Hints at Contesting. Withdrawal
Action Is Unprecedented in History
of Diplomacy.
WASIHNGTON, Dec. 0. Count
Von Dernstorff today presented to
tho stifte department ti communien
tion asking for the reasons for tho
1'equcst for tho withdrawal of Cap
tain Hoy-Kd nnd Cnptnin Von Pnpen,
tho German naval and military at
taches, respectively.
It wns stnted authoritatively,
thoturh uot iu tho communication,
that tho ambassador would under no
consideration ask tho United States
to get safe conduct for tho attaches
Tho Oermnn government wns repre
sented as considering it incumbent
upon the United Slates to seo tho nt
tachos in snfety to Oermnn territory
nnd bring their successors here.
To Contest Dismissal
Should it develop from tho btnto
department's answer that other inei
dents than tho Archibald case nnd tho
testimony nt the trinl of the eonspir
ntors of tho Hamburg-American line
were considered by the United States
iu asking thnt the attaches bo with
drawn, Germany will contest the
withdrawals.
Should the department reply thnt
thoso two incidents nlono were re
sponsible, the withdrawal will tako
place without further inquiry or pro
test. Tho embassy was represented ns
considering that it and the attaches
stand before tho bar of public opin
ion. Iu such circumstances that
opinion that tho embassy attaches
have been iu nny wny connected with
anything under nttnek other thnn the
Archibald incident and the Hamburg
American activities.
Contrary lo Precedents
This action is considered by offic
ials of tho htate department to bo
contrary to precedents of diplomatic
procedure. Under all diplomatic us
ngo it is only necessary for the
United States to indicate to Germany
that tho attaches are persona non
grntn nnd it is not necessary to give
u reason for asking their with
drawal. Cnplnin Hoy-Kd and Von Pnpcn
were iu Washington today and con
ferred several times with Count Von
Hemstorff.
Information Itcfusisl
It is known that stale department
officials nre of the opinion that
should Germany decline to nsk for
safo conducts the attaches may have
to leave the country without them.
It wns pointed out that tho men
could with snfety proceed to Mexico.
To attempt to reach Germany with
out snfe conducts would be nn ex
tremely hazardous undertaking. The
department does not consider itself
hound to get their successors here.
Later today tho state department
received another inquiry on the same
subject from tho Ilorlin foreign of
fice transmitted by Ambassador Ger
ard. It was mndo known officially
bore that tho United States would de
cline to go into tho question of f.iets
on tho subject nnd would not riis
close the sources of its information.
