GERMANY DEMANDING
WASHINGTON,. D. C., Dec. 6.—
At no time has the international
^tuatlon been so critical as at the
present time as far as the Unito«1
States and Germany are concerned
Germany has sent in to the State
Department a' demand for some
reason for dismissing the attaches
■who have been considered objec
tionable by the United States, and
intimates that unless good reasons
are forthcoming no such dismissal
will be conceded.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 6.—
It is almost admitted that Ger
many’s demands for some reason
for the dismissal of its attaches in
the United States is tantamount to
a rejection of the United States po
sition that they have rendered them
selves personae non gratae.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5.—
Testimony has been offered by a
witness showing that the Ancona
was sunk by two submarines, or at
least attacked by two acting in con
cert.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 6.—
Boyed, von Papen and Bernstroff
went into conference here this after- j
noon. It is admitted that the situa '
tion will be very serious should Ger
many decline to accede to the re
quest for the immediate withdrawal
of the attaches.
A good deal of tho feeling which
had been roused during the election
is again being stirred up and feel
ings not at all friendly to Germany
are being stirred to the depths.
ATTENTION! EAGLES!

I to the military nature of the boy
scout movement, declaring that it
was but militarism in disguise, they
were right and he and the various
