September 24, 6.40 p.m.) Washington, September 23. ■ Captain von Papen (previously Gcrmam military attache at Washington) has been moved to Mexico, and attached to tho Legation there. The State Department views his transfer with con- . cern, as he may stir up luirest in that , country by German manipulation. _ Germany apparently is thinking that if the United States hands could lie tied wit'h. Mexico she would be inclined to pay less attention to the German submarine warfare. M. Dumba (th© Austrian Ambassador) has asked for safe conduct,, but''the; Government will take no step' in the matter until the Austrian Government replies to America's request that ho should be recalled. • VIOLATIONS OP AMERICAN HOSPITALITY.

Papen's prospects of future have been destroyed, particularly as .this is not the first time the German attaches have been charged with violating the hospitality of the United States. '
