the Inevitable suggestion that his con
nectlon with the embassy should be term
inated. Each time, .however, the threatened
action came to nothing. While the State
department consistently refused to dis
cuss the captain's rase, the German em
bassy intimated that it had reason to be
lieve he had dons nothing for which he
should be censured.
Captain Boy-ed'a first activities which
attracted the attention of the government
were In connection with the misuse of
American passports to Oerman reservists
seeking to slip through ths allied lines
to join their armies. Boms of ths men In

' Later Captain Boy-ed's name was men
tioned In connection with the chartering

fuel and food to Oerman vessels, whloh
In the first months ef the war were hard
pressed by the allied flying squadrons.
The asms alleged connection rams up
again during ths trials ef ths Hamburg
Ameriran line officials Just concluded In
New York, In which witnesses testified
that Captain Boy-ed handled ths money
which earns from Berlin for chartering
ths ships and furnishing them with sup
plies. Ths government did not contend that
an offense sgalmt ths neutrality of the
United Btates had been committed by
sending ths ships, but that ths officials
of ths Hamburg-American line had guilty
knowledge ef ths fact that ths customs
houses of ths United States were de
ceived and defrauded Into Issuing clear

The inference ran broadly all through
the trial that Captain Boy-ed. too, was
cognisant of the offenses which the gov
ernment charged and. In the early .days
of the trial his nams was frequently
mentioned In open court by ths govern
ment prosecutors. Finally the State de
partment, here suddenly Intervened and
cautioned the officials of the Judiciary
arm ef the government that unless they
expected to indict Captain Boy-ed for
the offenses charged, the language em
ployed by prosecutors should be avoided
for the reason It might endanger the
friendly relations between the United
States and Germany,
Carman Embassy Displeased.
The Germany embassy manifested to
the Btate department Its displeasure with
features of the trial in New. York which
reflected upon the character of officials
not under charges. - Ths State depart

line fficlais, however,
the situation became one where a Jury

certain operations in eonnsctlon with
which the German naval attache was
generally accredited with having been
connected and the usual diplomatic pro
cedure la such a ease Is to regard the
usefulness of such an officer as ended
and his further presence as objectionable.
in the case of minor officials of an
embassy, such as Captain Boy-ed, the
government does not ask for a recall, for
that Is quite outside of Its power. Ths
usual course Is to Indlcats to ths head
of ths embassy. In this ease Count von

.Captain Boy-ed would not necessarily
need to leave the country, although It Is
expected he probably would. The coun
tries to which he might go under exist

to Mexico, Cube, South America or tl
Dutch West Indies, and he might have
difficulty ta getting that far. slnos It is
doubted that the allied governments
