In Intimate to.icli with Berlin's policies.
Tho statement Is, of course, unolllclal,

GERMANS WITHHOLD NEWS
OF HOY-ED'S RECALL
AMSTERDAM, Dec. fi.-Tlie German pa
pers printed on Sunday did not contain
nny mention of the request of Secretary
of State Lansing for tho recall of Cap
tain Boy-Ed and Captain Franz von Pa
pen, respectively naol and military at
taches to tho German Embassy at Wash
ington. It Is reported from Berlin that ofllclal
circles are Intensely aggravated over the
action of the American State Department.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.
Another field of German activity Is now
being probed by the United Stales In
olvod In tho latest nngle of Teutonic
plotting, which centres about an organl
jatlon called Lnbor-s National Peace
Council, arc a Congressman, ft former
Representative nnd several well-known
lobbyists. ,
The Federal Grand Jury nt New lorlt
Is sifting evidence concerning the activ
ities of the organization. Soon after the
war opened, this organization nppeared
nnd began to grow like n mushroom for
a llttlo while, then shrank up almost as
rapidly as It had expanded.
Organized labor, as represented by the
olllcers of tho American Federation of
Labor, declined to havo nnjthlng to do
Willi tho council, notwithstanding thnt
sorno of Its members Insisted that It
represented the protest of Amerlcnn
union men against the murder of their
fellow-laborers In the European trenches.
lnfoimatlon 1ms been laid before tup
New York Grand Jury thnt persons con
nected with this organization received
Jtii'.CXH from ngents of the German Gov
ernment It Is chnrged that the council
wns organized In the Interest of Germnny
anil that some of Its members hae had
a hand In tho Ocrmnn propaganda.
The men who will be asked to testify
before the Grand Jury are:
REPRESENTATIVE FRANK 131'-
CIIA.NA.V. who Is known as n "labor"
. member from Chicago.
EX-REPRESENTAT1VE ROBERT
I FOWLER, of Illinois, known ns the
I attorney for the organization.

Martin. Shultels nnd Lamar formerly

been seen In Washington since .u wns

out on ball.
The precise nature nf the- lnfoimatlon
which the Department of Justice has
gathered concerning the activities of the
"council," and the manner In which the
mono Is supposed to have been expended,
cannot bc ascertained here.
Olllclals of the Department of Justice
declined to throw nny light upon tho sub
ject. They would not even admit that the
council Is tho subject of the present In
vestigation. For several days It has been
known that the department has been lay
ing extremely Impoitunt lnfoimatlon be
fore the Grnnd Jury In New York
Persons connected with the Administra
tion appear to bc xntlstled that the results
of the Grand Jury's action will bc of a
sensational nature. They seem to think
that tho next batch of Indictments will
uncover a line of German activities which
has not been touched upon In the past nnd
that nnmes of national prominence may
be dragged Into the case.

These negotiations had not so fnr re

which Insured success, though they were
still far from a deadlock.
Tho recall cases rested unchanged to
day. Secretary Lansing preserved com
plete silence on all matters connected
with the German relations. Ambassador
von Rernatorft did the same. Captain
Eoy-Ed, who came down from New York
has returned to hls post. Captain von
Popen arrived here yesterday, nnd Is ex
pected to remain for several das.
ihe nossibllltv of A deadlock In the
Lusltanla enne wns the subject of wide
nnd serious discussion here today. The
Administration has staken so much on
the success of Its diplomacy In winning
concessions from Germany, nnd Its sup
porters have been so Jubilant over the
p.irtlAl assurances given after the sink
ing of tho Arabic thnt a failure now to
reach some tort of nn understanding to
be presented to Congress nnd tho nation
as a diplomatic victory would be a seri
ous blow to Mr. Wilson.

CETTLVJE, Dec. 6. A repulse of
the Germanic allies is reported in the
following communique of the Montene
grin War Oflicc today:
"The enemy severely attacked our
positions on the left bank of the
Tcheholina. Wc repulsed him and
took a number of prisoners. Other
attacks toward Brodavero, Picnitza
and Drcdopoll were also repulsed with
large Austrian losses."
ATIIENH, Doc. 6.
The 103th German Division has been
melted to Hutachck, ptcaumnbly lo meet
Itumnnlan concentration near that point
and to repel an expected movement of
ltusalait troops. Greek military authori

Tho Itumnnlan order commandeering nil

was scheduled to go into effect today.
It was expected to give rise to troublo

Uulgarian cargo boats carrying munitions.

King Constnntlnc. It was reliably re
ported today. Is about to assuro the
Allies that their demands wilt b met In
full, Greece may not openly state her
position to tha world, but the assurances
will be of such definite nature as to re
move all doubt In Iiondon and Paris.
Since Serbian troops retreated Into
Greek territory last week, after the fall
of Monastlr, no word of their movements
has reached Athens in press dispatches.
It Is declared positively, however, that
the Serbs have been allowed to retain
their arms and are making way along tho
frontier lo Join the Anglo-French forces.
Only minor clashes with the Teutonic
advance guards are now marking tho
Serbian retirement Into Albania. The
most severe fighting In tho Balkans Is
going on south of Plevlje. In this region
the fierce resistance of the Montenegrins
Is reported to have checked the Austrian
Invasion.
