REFUSES 0 HELEASE RINTELEN Lansing Sends Sharp Reply to De- mand From Germany —The German reprisals Washington, June § government has threatened against Americans in Germany unless the States government re- leases Captain Lieutenant Franz Rin- telen, the German naval officer, one- time banker and intimate of the Ger- man crown prince, i exchange for Siegfried Paul TLondon, an alleged American, whom the Germans have had in custody in Warsaw. That the United States has defled the German government in the mat- ter. refused to release Rintelen, and has warned the Berlin authorities that if reprisals were taken against Americans in Germany, this govern- ment might take similar reciprocal action against the great numbers of German subjects in this country, was disclosed yesterday afternoon by Sec- United o ¥'s proposal for the change of London for Rintelen made on April 20 last, when the Swiss here presented to Secre ansing a note verbale frem the German government. On Junc 4 Secretary Lansing sent this government's defiance of the German threat of rep Rintelen is Mercer County after conviction of conspiring with Lam and others to foment in American munition fac- When he finishes that sen- cheduled to serve a year at Atlanta under his con- of fraudulently obtaining a state department passport in 1915 just before sailing for Burope. After that he must serve 12 months under his recent conviction of con- spiring to destroy food and munition ships of the Entente Alli by placing fire bombs in their cargoes. For some time Germany has been trying to have Rintelen treated as a prisoner of war rather than as criminal. The man for whom German government proposed have Rintelen exchanged, London, was born in Germany, in 1862, went York in 1882, lived there until 1902, was natura- lized by the court of common pleas in New York in 1887, and since 1903 has been living in Warsaw His na- turalized American citizenship is doubtful on the score of long and centinued residence abroad. He was arrested in Warsaw, Poland, Aug. 27, 1915, charged with being a spy. He was tried in January, 1916, escaped and was re-arrested in September, 1917. He was sentenced to death Dec. 20, 1917, and in January, 1918, this sentence was commuted to ten vears’ imprisonment. The verbal note from the German government in which its offer of ex- change and threat of reprisal were made read as follows: “On Deec. 20, 1917, the merchant and interpreter, Siegfried Paul TLon- don, a citizen of the United States, war condemned to death by court- martial at Warsaw for war treason ac a spy. The governor general of Warsaw, exercising judicial clemency, or Jan. 9. 1918, commuted this sen- tence to ten years penal servitude. According to facts established at the court-martial, T.ondon obtained citi- zenship In the year 1887. He is mar- ried to an American citizen, Mary Leonhard. “TLondon was found guilty because, for the period from the beginning of the war until about May, 1915, he served the enemy as a spy. He was arrested on this account as early as August 27, 1915. He succeeded, how- ever, in escaping, but was recaptured on Sept. 24, 1917; for this reason the chief proceedings against him tcok place only recently. “Up to the present time the efforts of the German government to effect an improvement in the situation of Captain Lieutenant Rintelen, who passed into the hands of the Ameri- can authorities by reason of acts of the British government, contrary to international law, have been unsuc- cessful. The attempt to bring to a halt the criminal proceedings brought against him in America and to se- cure his release has likewise been without result. In order to lend greater emphasis to the protests which have been lodged with the American gqyernment the German government contemplates some ap- propriate measures of reprisal. It would, however, prefer to avold the contingency that persons be taken and made to suffer because the gov- ernment of the United States was apparently not sufficlently cognizant of its international obligations toward a German subject. Proposal for Exchange. “Before making a definite deci- sion, the German government believes it should propose to the government of the United States that Captain Lieutenant Rintelen be set at liberty by exchange for the American citizen Siegfried Paul London, who was con- demned to death for espionage, and whose sentence was later commuted to ten years' penal servitude, and that Captain Lieutenant Rintelen be per- mitted forthwith to return to Ger- many. hould the United States a ex- was a term in the penitentiary government of the ;ree to this proposal the German government would take steps that London’s uncompleted term of imprisonment be remitted and that he be set at liberty in order that he may immediately leave the country.” The secretary of state, in reply, sent the following to the Swiss min- ister on June 4: “Sir:—I have the honor to ac- kncwledge the receipt of your mem- orandum of April 13, 1918, commun- icating a translation of a note ver- balc from the German government, tremsmitted by the Swiss political de- partment, proposing the exchange of Captain ILieutenant Franz sRintelen for Siegfried Paul London, an alleged American cit vears' penal The German measures of not released don. “In reply, T have the honor to ad- vise you that this government can- not consider the exchange of Rinte- len for London, nor can it consider thc release of Rintelin, nor any in- terference with the due process of law in his case. “The threat of the German gov- ernment to retaliate by making Amer- icans in Germany suffer clearly im- plies that the government proposes to adopt the principle that reprisals oc- casioning physical suffering are le- gitimate and necessary in order to cnforce demands from one belliger- ent to another. The ‘government of the United States acknowledges no such principle. and would zen condemned to ten servitude in Germany. government threatens reprisal if Rintelen or exchanged for Lon- upon that principle it will inevitably be understood to invite simiiar recip- rccal action on the part of the United States with respect to the great num- bers of German subjects in country. Tansing’s Reply. “It is assumed that the government before acting will give duc reflection and due weight to this consideration. “I beg that vou will be encugh to bring the foregoing state- ment to the attention of the German government.” The German government contends that Rintelen should be treated as a prisoner of war and not as a crim- inal. He was arrested in England when trying to get to Germany on a Swiss passport before the ited States entered the war. government extradited him to United States after this government became a belligerent, and he was tried here on the charges committed when the United States was a neutral nation. It the German government cons tends that the offenses charged against Rintelen in this country were com:mitted in his capacity as an offi- cer of the German navy, the United States government would be in a posi- tion to bring Rintelen before a trib- unal for trial as a spy with death as the punishment on conviction. The German government has dem- onstrated its cruelty the action of the British government ir treating members of a captured T-boat crew as criminals for their viclation of the established principles of international law and humanity. In retaliation for confining these prisoners in a penal institution in- stead of in a camp where prisoners o* war are quartered, the German government selected twenty-nine British officers in German prison camps and placed them in solitary confinement on a diet of bread and water. with references to their social posi- tion in England. Some of them bore titles and all of them were of nohle or aristocratic families of great prominence. After learning of the suffering of these British officers the British gov- ernment removed the U-boat crew to a camp for prisoners and the German government reported that it had re- leased the British officers from soli- tary confinement and a starvation diet. The latest records of the war de- partment show that a total of 133 American soldiers have been located at German prison camps. There also are 216 American civilians, including sailors, who are interned in Germany. About 5,000 Germans are interned in this country. This includes 1,310 prisoners of war at Fort McPherson, Georgia, most of whom were sea- men on German ships; 839 at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia; 432 at Fort Douglas, Utah, and between 2,000 and 2,500 prisoners taken from Ger- man merchantmen, at Hot Springs, N. C., at present under the depart- ment of labor. Five hundred Germans interned in this country are One hundred of them go to Devens, 100 to Camp Grant, 100 to Camp Sevier, 100 to Camp Wads- worth, and 100 to Camp Sherman. Camp CITY COURT MATTERS. Attorney for “New Haven” Wants B. & M. Made Separate Defendant. Attorney N. 8. Buckingham, of New Haven, appeared before Judge James T. Meskill in the city court yesterday afternoon in the interests of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rall- road Co., defendant in a suit brought by Frank Kowalczky, of this city, to recover $328.50. In the writ issued by Attorney Joseph G. Woods for the plaintiff the Boston and Maine Rail- road Co. is named a joint defendant, but counsel for the ‘“New Haven” maintained at yesterday’s hearing that the latter company has not served with papers. Attorney Buck- ingham asked that separate papers be made out against each road. Judge Meskill requested the lawyer to pre- sent his claims before the court in writing and give Attorney Woods an opportunity to be heard on the mo- tion. Kowalszky alleges that a con- signment of onlons shipped from Hat- | field, Mass.,, over the roads of the above companies was spilled to a con- siderable extent.

Buffalo. So grave were the disclosures consid- ered that a meeting was immeditely held in Buffalo. A minarity of the com- mittee at that time urged immediate publication of the discoveries but more ultimate course of the committee is yet to be determined, the sub-committee desiring to-day bafe the discoveries to the full committee and to Special Investigator Hughes. understood to have found at the Cur- tiss plant are: 1. That following the pacing large orders alterations were ordered in such rapid succession as completely to demoralize industrial conditions at the plant. 2. That when these alterations were | made the material used under pre- vious plans was scrapped, without the slightest regard even for its value as fuel, and that upon some of these or- ders the spruce for which the whole country had been scoured went to make nightly bonfires. 3. That on the roster of this plant the prevelance of German names, in- cluding some of the most trusted ex- pert employees, was such as to jus- the margin of safety had been passed. officials of the corporation who alleged that he came to Washington for in- structions, the changes not only in the fundamental of design, but in the smallest details, increased rather than diminished, re- tarding more than ever the effort to turn out aeroplanes. While this was going on at the Cur- tiss plant to so great an extent as to arouse comment and suspicions even of laborers in the plant, matters were running smoothly in the plant of the Curtiss Company's only rival, the ‘Wright-Dayton Company at Dayton, Ohio, and quantity production was be- ing reached even in combat planes, of which the Curtiss company has vet to produce a single one, although it has built a considerable number of hydroplanes. This, in the minds of the sub-com- mittee, suggested that there might ex ist a reason other than one of mechan- ics or engineering for the demoraliza- tion of the Curtiss plant. The committee has visited Dayton and Detrait since the survey of the Curtiss plant. At both places gene ally satisfactory conditions are unde stood to have been found. Tt is under- stood the committee’s investigation at Dayton and Detroit served to empha- size the ominous character of the su picions engendered at Buffalo, and that upon the committee’s return these suspicions, with the facts giving rise to them, will be presented in de- tail at a meeting of the full commit- tee next week.
