"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-

For Austro-Hungary not to send an

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.

J. Proctor, a picker, was caught by
a falling roof, but escaped with a few
bruises and cuts. The Salem fire de

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. There was

and 18 of Mr. Gates' associates. They
arrived in Portland over the Northern

A telegram delivered to Mr. Gates

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.
