All Nebraskans on Hand. Every member of the Nebraska delega- tion was present when the gavsel fell in senato and house. Representative Lo-| beck arrived early this morning to par-| ticipate in the organization of the lower branch of congress, with which he has been associated since the Sixty-second congress. His leteness in arriving was due to a death in his family which de- late rthan he planped for arrival in the | capital. Among the first bills to go into the “hoppet’ were those of Mr. Lobeck for individual pensions for & number of per- sons in his dfstrict, He also reintroduced his bill of the last congress providing for the price for a site at the Union station at Omaha for the erection of a sub- postoffice and a bill appropriating $100,000 for the erection of a boulevard between | Fort Croo kand Omaha.

REASONS CONTRARY TO ALL PRECEDENTS WASHINGTON, l)m\ ~Later | today the State department recelved another inquiry on the reason for the recall of German attaches from the Berlin foreign office, transmitted by Ambassador Gerard. It was made known officially here that the Unitedq States would decline to go into the questions of fact on the subject and would not disclose the sources of ita information which lead to its request. 1t is known that state department officials are of the opinion that should Germany decline to ask for safe conducts, the ataches may have to leave the country without them, out that the men could with safety proceed to Mexico, To attempt to reach Germany without safe conducts would be an extremely hazardous undertaking. The depart- | ment does not consider itself bound tc get their successors here, WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 6.— ‘ount von Bernstorff today presented |to the State department a communi- |cation asking for the reasons for the request of the withdrawal of Cap- tain Boy-Ed and Captain von Papen, the German naval and military at- taches, respectively. It was stated authoritatively, though not in the communication, that the ambassador would under no consideration ask the United States to get safe conduct for the attach The German government was repre- |sented as considering it incumbent upon the United States to return the attaches in safety to German territory and bring their successors here. Position Taken by Katser, Should it develop from the Btate de- partiment's answer that than the Archibald case and the festis mony at the trial of the conspirators of the Hamburg-American line were consid- ered by the United States in asking that the attaches be withdrawn, Germany will contest the withdrawals. Should the department. reply that those two Incldents alone were responsible, the | withdrawal will take place without fur- ther Inquiry or protest. The embassy was represented as con- sidering that it and the attaches stand before the bar of public opinfon. In such circumstance the understanding ia that the embussy will deny that the attaches have in any way been connected with anything other than the Archibald in- cldent and the Hamburg-American ca Contrary to Precedents. All this action is considered by officlals of the State department to be contrary to precedents of diplomatic procedure. Under all diplomatic usage, it ls only necessary for the United States to indi- cate to Germany that the attaches are pergona non grata and it is not neces- sary to give a reason for asking their withdrawal, Captain Boy-Ed and Captain von Papen ‘were In Washington today and conferred severa] times with Count von Bernstorff, Warrant for Crowley.
