OTHERS INVOLVED n mm mm German Attache and Possibly Count von Bernstorff Him i self Now Concerned. TALK OF BREAK RENEWED Relations Sow Keg-arded as More Strained Than Ever Report of Second Note i""rora Berlin Only Ray of Liglit. "WASHINGTON", Sept. 10. President Wilson's request for the recall of the Auetrian Ambassador, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, has broadened into a situation involving: Captain Franz von Papen. the militarv nttachA nf th. man Embassy; Alexander Nuber von f Pereked. the Austrian Consul-General In New York, and possibly Count von Bernstorff, the' German Ambassador. . The official view is that the Am bassador, although technically involved, is not so seriously concerned as the military attache or the Consul-General. It is not unlikely that both of the latter may be recalled or dismissed lrom the country. Relation Seriouxly Strained. Coupled with Germany's disappoint ing and unsatisfactory explanation of the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic after Count von Bernstorft, had Kiven assurances that full satisfaction would be given if it were established that a German submarine sank the ship, official Washington views the friendly relations with the Germanic powers strained more toward the breaking point than ever before. Hopes that the submarine crisis had been safely passed and that a break between Germany and the Unlceo. States had been avoided were displaced today by misgivings. Talk of the possibility of breaking diplomatic relations was heard .again, although this time it in volved both central powers, on the theory that Austria, after having her Ambassador practically dismissed from the country, might stand with her ally in relations with the United States. Second German Note Reported. Unofficial reports that a second note had been started from the Berlin For eign Office for Washington furnished about the only basis of optimism in official quarters so far as the sub marine controversy was concerned. It may be said, however, that if nothing comes in the nature of a modification of Germany's explanation an American note will reach Berlin probably early next week, which will set forth the views of the United States in a brief and unmistakeable manner. Germany's declaration that while she regrets, the operations of the subma rines she admits no liability for in demnity, even if the submarine' com mander was mistaken in believing the steamer was about to attack him, and offering to arbitrate the principle, is regarded in official circles as leaving the whole submarine question prac tically where it was left by the Ber lin government's unresponsive atti tude toward the Lusitania negotia tions. ' i DIappointment Kelt Keenly. The President spent most of today going over the German note. No of ficial comment was made at the White House or the State Department, but the disappointment of officials was un disguised. The latest turn in the sub marine controversy almost overshad owed the Dumba case. Captain von Papen is involved in the Dumba case because he forwarded by James F. J. Archibald, the American correspondent traveling under an American passport, a personal letter in which he made offensive statements about American officials. Moreover, Ambassador Dumba's letter to the Aus trian Foreign Office, found on Archi bald, mentioned Von Papen as having approved what the State Department in Its note to the Austro-Hungarlan gov ernment characterized as a conspiracy to cripple the legitimate industries of the United States. Consul-General Nuber is drawn into the case because the Dumba letter disclosed that he was connected with this strike plan. Hungarian Editor Implicated. High officials indicated today that the Government would take steps o some kind against the editor of a Hun garian newspaper in this country from whom a memorandum was inclosed in the Dumba letter outlining carefully prepared plans for putting into effect the scheme for handicapping munitions plants. Count von Bernstorff is Involved technically because Archibald carried a letter for him, but as it was a copy of a statement previously made to the Ambassador by Secretary Lansing and wholly of an innocuous character, of ficial do not regard the German Am bassador's attitude in the affair as ap proaching that of hla military attache or the Austrian Consul-General. It is probable that until the Vienna Foreign Office answers the request for the withdrawal of Dr. Dumba nothing further will be done in his case, nor the cases of Von Papen or Nuber. The fact that Von Papen's letter was a personal one would not alter the Fituallon. It was pointed out today that Lord Sackville-West's personal letter on the political situation resulted in his recall from the British Embassy here. CiljKMAX STAND IS APPLAUDED Berlin Newspaper Defends Position of . Submarine Commander. BERLIN, via London, Sept. 10. The German government's note to the United States concerning the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic was published in the afternoon papers here today. None of the newspapers comments on the note except the Germania. which calls attention to the point in the com munication that the responsibility of a submarine commander ceases when an enemy steamer arouses suspicion that "he is preparing to attack or ram the underwater boat. "This standpoint will meet with ap plause everywhere among the German people." adds the Germania- PENIFIELD MAY BE SENT (Continued From First Page-) violated the hospitality 01 the United States. Should Austro-Hungary recall Dr. Iumba and leave her interests in charge of the Counsellor of the em bassy, with the rank nt Charge d'Af fairs, the I'nited States will recall Am bassador Penfield. For Austro-Hungary not to send an Ambassador to replace Dr. Dumba would be an act of discourtesy. Under diplomatic usage the only course for the Government to pursue would be to withdraw Mr. Penfield and leave Amer ican affairs in the hands of the first eecrtary of the American embassy.

AMBASSADORS FROM GERMANY AND AUSTRIA-HUNGARY YOLVED IN NEW AND COMPLEX PROBLEMS OF IN TERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIP. ig&zgk rim I W. J. BURNS VISITOR Prevention Rather Than Pun ishment, Detective's Idea. FEW PAROLES ADVOCATED Reckless Granting of Freedom Is Declared Defeat of Ends In tended Crime Found to Be Growing MncJi Less. It Is now proposed to apply the "Safety First" principle to criminals and the operations of criminals. And the proposal comes from no lesser an authority than W. J. Burns, the famous detective, who was In Port land yesterday. In other words Mr. Burns believes that the great idea for the modern de tective and the modern policeman is to prevent crime rather than to cap ture the criminal and punish him after the crime is committed. "The general trend of human en deavor," said Mr. Burns at the Mult nomah Hotel yesterday, "is to prevent and counteract the ills that prey upon society. "If we can teach the cracksman that it is unprofitable in the long run to rob a bank, we have gone a long way toward protecting the bank." Mr. Burns addressed the bank ers at their Seattle meeting. He was accompanied by his son, Ray mond Burns, who is associated wit him in his work. They arrived in Port land yesterday morning and were en tertained here by S. J. Alkus. manager of the - Portland branch of the Burns detective service. Mr. Burns has positive ideas about the parole system for criminals which has been receiving much attention from "prison reformers." "I certainly believe in paroles," he declared, "but I don't believe in them on a wholesale scale. There is no rule that can be followed in granting pa roles. Each individual case must be judged on its own merits. "If paroling is carried to an extreme as it has been in some states the prac tice defeats the very ends for which it is intended. The crook takes advan tage of it. Every moral delinquent ap peals to public sympathy and obtains it. If he is granted a parole, the result is that he is free to go out and indulge in hi3 criminal practices further." Mr. Burns would treat the first termer in this respect the same as the confirmed criminal. "It all depends upon the individual." he said. "Many first offenders are con firmed 'crooks' just as much as those who have served years of time." Crime and criminal tendencies, he continued, are growing less, due to the various agencies that have been at work to counteract their effects and to prevent them. In this connection he declared that prohibition has done much to eliminate crime. It has driven out the low dive and the rum Joint, he pointed out, and has removed the natural breeding places for crime. Another subject upon which Mr. Burns speaks with distinct assurance is the Leo Frank case. Following Frank's conviction in Georgia Mr. Burns made a thorough investigation of the case, and announced his conclusions that Frank was unjustly convicted. "Frank was absolutely innocent." he declared. LOSS IS $50,000 BY FIRE (Continued From First Page.) spread wet blankets over the roofs and women even offered their outer skirts for this service. J. Proctor, a picker, was caught by a falling roof, but escaped with a few bruises and cuts. The Salem fire de partment was appealed to for aid. but no water bein?? available it did not respond. The fire spread to a stubble field and another containing brush, about 15 acres being swept before it burned itself out. Two strawstacks were consumed but no farmhouses were endangered. The blaze having originated in the roof of one of the drying-houses, it is believed that it was caused by a spark or spontaneous combustion.

About 1250 bales of freshly picked hops were consumed. Four houses belontrinir to V. Young were destroyed, the fire being oi mysterious origin. Mr. Young de clined to estimate the loss tonight, but the larger part of the hops picked on the ranch were burned. Two barns were destroyed on the ranch of Wlgrich, Richardson & Co., but no hops were lost. Farm machinery and hay. were destroyed. George Ruef lost one drying house and all hops that had been picked at the yard. Investigation has not disclosed that I. W.

GOVERNOR RATES IS GUEST Vermont Executive Taken for Trip Over Columbia Highway. Charles W. Gates, Governor of Ver mont, was in the city yesterday, ac companied by his secretary, Benjamin Gates, of Montpeller, who is no relative, and 18 of Mr. Gates' associates. They arrived in Portland over the Northern Pacific and left last night for San Fran cisco. Mr. Gates' first wish when he got to this city was to see the Columbia High way, and Samuel Hill took the Gates party over the highway, which Mr. Gates pronounced would be a model of good roads when completed. A telegram delivered to Mr. Gates last night said his mother had suffered a paralytic shock. MRS. M. M. KNIGHT AT REST Funeral Services Are Held From Home on Willamette.

Contlnugf3 From First Page.) branches that gave one the first view of the devil and all his works. It was a stretch of open country with a few sticks, like old tooth brushes, which had. once been trees around a farm. The rest was yellow grass, barren to all appearances as the veldt. ' "The grass is yellow because they have used gas here," said art officer. "Their trenches are you can see for yourself." Voice o Shells Impersonal. The guns in the woods began again. They seemed to have no relation to the regularly-spaced bursts of smoke along a little smear in the desert earth 2000 yards away, no connection at all with the strong voices over head coming and going. It was as impersonal as the drive of the sea along a breakwater. Thus it went a pause, a gathering of sound like the race of an incoming wave. then the high-flung heads of breakers spouting white up the face of a groyne. Suddenly a seventh wave broke and spread the shape of its foam like a plume over-topping all the others. "That's one of our torpilleurs, what you call trench sweepers; said the ob server. Among the whispering leaves some one crossed tho platform to consult the map with its ranges. A blistering out break of white smoke rose a lltt,le be yond the large plume. It was as if the tide had struck a reef out yonder. Then a new voice of tremendous vol ume lifted itself. Out of a lull that followed somebody laughed. Evidently the voice was known. Work Like That of Waves. "That Is not for us," a gunner said. "They are being waked up from " Ho named a distant French position "and so the torpilleur is attending to them there. We go on with our usual work. "Look! Another torpilleur. Tho bar barian!" Again a big plume rose and again the lighter shells broke at their ap pointed distance beyond it. The smoke died away on that stretch of trench, as the foam of a swell dies in the angle of a harbor wall, and broke out afresh half a mile lower down. In its apparent laziness. In its awful deliberation, and its quick spasms of wrath, it was more like the work of waves than of men, and our high plat form's gentle sway and glide was -ex-; actly the motion of a ship drifting with us toward that shore. "Tho usual work; only the usuaj work," the officer explained. "Some-1 times it ris here, sometimes above or below us. I have been here since May." A little sunshine flooded the strick en landscape and made its chemical yellow look more foul. A detachment of men moved out on a road which ran toward the French trenches and then vanished at the foot of a little rise. Other men appeared moving toward us with that concentration of purpose and bearing shown in both armies when dinner is at hand. They looked like people who had been digging hard. People Are Being Consumed. "The same work, always the same work," the officer said, "and you could walk from here to the sea or to Switz erland in t,hat ditch and find the same work going on everywhere. "It isn't war, it's better than that," said another. "It's the eating up of a people. They come and they fill the trenches, and they die and they die, and -they send more and these die. We do the same, of course, but look!" He pointed to the large, deliberate smoke heads renewing themselves along the yellowed beach. "That is the frontier of civilization. They have all civilization against them those brutes yonder. It's not the local victories of the old wars that we're after; it's the barbarians, all the barbarians. Now you've seen the whole thing in little; come and look at our children." We left that tall tree whose fruits are death, ripened and distributed at the tinkle of small bells. The ob server returned to his map : and cal culations, the -telephone boy stiffened up beside his exchange. As the ama teurs went out of his life some one called down through the branches to ask who was attending to Belial, let us say, for I could not catch the gun's name. It seemed to belong to that terrific new voice which had lifted Itself for the second or third time. It appeared from the reply that if Belial talked too long he would be dealt with from an other point miles away. Men Live Underground. The " troops we came down to see were at rest in a chain of caves which had begun life as quarries and had been fitted up by the army for its own uses. There were underground corri dors, ante-chambers, rotundas and ven tilating shafts, with a bewildering play of cross lights, so that wherever you looked you saw Goya's pictures of men at arms. Every soldier has some of the old maid in him and rejoices in all the lit tle gadgets and devices of his own in vention. Death and wounding come by nature, but to lie dry, sleep soft and keep yourself clean by forethought and contrivance is art, and in all things the Frenchman is gloriously an artist.
