GERMAN AMBASSADOR
MEETS WITH LANSING
Asks This Country to Use Good
Offices in Securing Safe Con
duct For Retiring Officials and
For Successors; Subject Not
Closed.
By Associated Press.
Washington Dec 10. Emperor William
has personally recalled the naval and mill
lary attaches of the German embassy here
who by their activities renderofl themselves
persona non (trata to the United States gov
ernnnnt. The emperor requested the United
States to use Its good offices : In securing
gale conduct Tor the departing attaches and
for their successors who wltf be named
later.
A hminunlcatlon Tram the German foreign
office innnuncing the action Was delivered
to Secrelay Lansing today hy Count von
llernstorff. ttx German ambassador who
hurried her from New York when he was
advised that a reply to the request of the
V nlted States had been rcrwvcp at the ei
hHssv from Berlin. Mr. Lansing after
conference of five minutos with the am
bassador authorized the following official
announcement :
Official No' If teal Inn .
"The German ambassador lias Informed
me tha'. the emperor has bcett pleased to
recall Captains von papen- and Boy-Ed In
C( uipllance with the wishes of the United
States."
There was much satisfaction in official
nmirtera at the oroiont action tsken by Em
peror William and at the outcome or a
situation which for a timo appeared to be
threatened with serious dirricuuttes. Count
von Herostorrr's mannor ashe left he sute
department reflected his own apparent
gratification.
It was learned tonight that there wis a
possibility or further dlplnniatlii correspond-
ence In the subject of tin- withdrawal of
the attaches. While the reasons given by
the United States for Its request were ac-
cented as satisfactory because in reply to
an objection on the part of the Atucrlean
government that the attaches have rendered
their continued presence undesirable the
German government later muy se fit to
address communication to the United
States stating' that It does not rind Itself
able to agree -that tne attaches conducted
themselves n a manner which Justiricd
them in being declared undesirables.
Safe (mullid Home.
The llrltlsli and French embassies Imme
diately will be asked by Secretary Lansing
to secure safe conducís tor the return to
Germany or the orricers. The requests will
on to the Loudon and Paris foreign omr.es
and It Is said that either Great Britain or
France or both may demand mat ir tap-
tain Boy-Ed and Captain von l'apen 'leave
the united Stales they must go under pa
role giving their words not to take part
10 Hie nosillllies III turupe.
On the other hand the opinion Is under
stood to prevail at the German embassy
ilmt It Is proper to ask Tor safe conducts
without qualification as the rómtng of suc-
cessors to the attaches would remove two
fighting officers from Germany secretary
Lansing has determined that the question
of asking sale conducts for the successors
of the attaches shall be decided after they
have been named.

Situation Fraught With Possibilities.
By Associated Press.
Washington Dec. 10. Diplomatic rela-
tions with Austria are in grave dancer of
being broken orr over the sinking of the
Italian liner Ancona with the loss or Ameri-
can lives. All orriclals here conUnue to
preserve slleice over the negotiations with
Austria but through the veil which has
been drawn about the situation It seen a
crisis Just as grave as that which attend-
ed the submarine negotiations with Ger-
many. The question or continuing diplomatic re-
lations may be said to depend upon a sat-
tsractory reply to Secretary Lansing's note
which now probably Is before the Vlenns
foreign orrire. demanding a disavowal or
the sinking or the Ancona reparation ror
the lives lost and assurances that passenger
ships shall not be attacked without warn-
ing or any opportunity ror non-combatants
to take places or sarety.
Situation Is Tense.
The situation tonight Is tense and rraught
with possibilities. It Is comnarcd to the
last days or the Arable negotiations with
(jenminy when probably no one but Presi-
dent Wilson hlmseir knew how closo the
country was to a severanco of diplomatic
relations with llerlln.
Orriclals or the state department will not
discuss the American note oven so tar as
to say ir they knew whether It has reached
Vienna or wlien thev expect to permit pub
lications or It In this country. It Is taken
ror granted In orriclal circles generally
however that tha communication cabled
last Tuesday must have neon delivered He-
lore this and a reply Is anxiously awaited.
A further complication to tho situation
developed today when It was disclosed
that an Austrian submarine which shelled
the American Standard (Ml tank ship Petro-
llte In tin? Mediterranean last week sent a
boarding party and took part or the ship's
provisions. This news came In a consular
dispatch from Algiers and was the Urst r-
riel.il word or Hie sarety or Ihe pelrollle.
which was not greatly damaged hy the
smiling and proceeded to Algiers with one
man slightly wounded.
Action Delayed.
So rar as the petrollte Incident Is con
cerned there probably will be no action
by the stale department until more com-
plete reports are received showing the e -act
circumstances under which the vessel
was attacked.

procedlng as a very serious breach or their

vessel by a submarine however raises

tically would be unlimited In their radius

Editor "I the Morning Times:
Hear Sir. Permit me lo rail your at-
tention to a delightful enterprise which
was successfully laoaliratrd In nnl (if
the manual training srhonls In Chicago
In 1911. The students allied them-
selves Into Ihe "Brotherhood of Christ-
mas Workers" and called upon Ihe
public In send lo Ihe school all kinds
of broken toys. Of course in a ell y
of Ihe slr of Chicago. Ihe donations
were almost oirrwlirlnilngly large.
Many ol Ihe toys sent In were beyond
repair but hundreds were made as
good as new with a bit of glue or
wire. ew eyes were pul In rabbit
horses were rehaired dolls were given
new scalps railroads trains and street
cars were made oirr. Fresh paint In
bright colors completed Ihe Innovation.
The toys were senl Into homes Itere
ISyi were scarcely known. The boys
and girls who did I lie mirk showed the
grrnlest rnthiislasm. II was work thev
liked to do Irsled their Iniiriinlli . muí
furnished ahumlanl fun. More Import-
ant It gave Ihrm an Insight Into part
of life that young people all should
have ami prnniotrd a Christmas spirit
or Ihe Vtry best hile ihe suggestion
may come a little late. El Paso will
hardly contain so many toys to be re-

done In ten days. Very sincerely yours

Phlii Brown at Hay. met death on the.
gallows at 3:15 o'clock this afternuon In
Ihe state penitentiary Here. Even on the
srafrnld the Mexican refused to make a
confession asserting Ids innocence anil
declaring that lie forgave those whose duty
It was to Hang him ror their part In his
death.
There was no sIkii of weakening 00 the
part or the eon icuined man. He walked
steadily to Ule death chamber and stood
calm while the black cap and noose Were
adjusted. He wore s bouquet or riowcrs
which friends had given him but rsfUSMl
to don a new suit of clothes iiist before
the execution ho bid his friends farewell
embracing Warden II. B. Sims and tbo
guards.
"I am Innocent. I have killed no one. 1
rorglvc everybody" were the last words
that he said.
Vlllalobo was attended by l ather Peter
Herlz the priest who twice before prepared
him for death and who was with blm
from ewly morning lo the hour of the exe-
rutlon. When the prisoner lelt the c. 11.
the priest preceded him to the deatb
chamber.
At the last moment there was a rinal
errort to postpone again the execution.
Attorneys for Vlllslobo served notice on
Warden Kims that an execution without Hi
presence ol the attorney general was Il-
legal. Assistant Attorney General Harben
was present however and presented the
warden with a wrlilen certiricaP; stating
that he represents Hie attorney general's
office.
Sims iiii d the guards to his office at
S: o'clock. A ti w minute later be went
lo the desth rhamoer. The Irap ws sprung
at 3 la o'clock.
Arter the execution It becarne known
that Vlllalobo had lert a written itatemeul
with bis attorneys which It is believed will
shed rurther light on .the murder r I'hin
Brown. Vlllalobo requested that the
statement he held a few days before being
