BY JOHN C ALLAN O LAIK5HLIN.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14. (Special.)
With the submarine issue in the dis
cussing stage and thereby giving prom
ise of a satisfactory solution, the at
tention or this government again
turned today to the situation of Dr.
Dumba and the developments arising
therefrom.
Dr. Dumba's wireless application for
recall by his government "on leave of
absence" does not meet the wishes of
the President and Secretary of State
Lansing. They requested his recall as
a punishment and as a disavowal of
the measures he intended to attempt in
order to disturb the security and neu
trality of the United States. His de
parture on "leave of absence" will not
be approved. .
Formal D it nils a! Probable.
Certainly the State Department will
not obtain a safe conduct from the
British government for him under such
circumstances. This means that he
will be unable to go next week ahe
contemplates, unless and this is prob
able the United States formally hands
him his passports and accompanies this
action by the request to Great Britain
to permit him to. pass through her
Jines to Holland.
It is no longer a secret that Secre
tary Lansing was apprehensive that
Dr. Dumba. would make an application
for leave and that it would be ap
proved before he could get his note to
Vienna. . For this reason the fact that
lie had sent the request for the diplo
mat's recall was guarded with care.
Diplomat Kept in Dark.
Dr. l5umba did not know the decision
of the President on the day the in
structions were sent to Ambassador
I'enf ield. Four hours after the dis
k patch was put on the cable, he was of,
the opinion that the Administration did
rot know its own mind.
Events show that it did. Events to
come will show that it does, not only
in the case of Dr. Dumba, but with
reference to other Austro-Hungarian
agents who are involved in the pro
posed plan to inaugurate a strike in
the industrial plants.
The Department of Justice is looking
Into the information which has been
fathered and which will be valuable
as evidence before the courts. The Dis
trict Attorney of New York was at the
department today discussing with the
officials the case of James P. J. Archi
bald, from whom the Dumba and Von
Papen letters were taken, and that of
the Austro-Hungarian Consul-General
in New York. Within a few days an
announcement will be made of the
course of action to be pursued.
Leave of Ahftenrc Inauf flrlent.
The State Department has received
several dispatches from Ambassador
Penfield in resard to the case of Dr.
Dumba. This Government will not ac
cept the recall of the diplomat on leave
of absence as satisfaction for the of
fenses charged against the Austrian
representative. It is understood Aus
tro-Hungary is willing to accede to
the United States and to -order the re
turn of the Ambassador, but the con
ditions which will accompany such ac
tion have not been revealed and will
not be until the formal reply to the
American request is handed to Mr.
Penfield.
It seems practically certain that
the difficulties with Austro-Hungary
which Dr. Dumba's activity provoked
will be arranged in some fashion, per
haps after exchanges of notes between
the two governments.
Submarine Outlok OptlraUtli-.
There is decided optimism about an
adjustment of the German submarine
isue, as exemplified in the case of the
Lusitania and the Arabic. It is real
ised in official and diplomatic circles
that it will be extremely awkward for
the German government to disavow the
destruction of the Arabic, especially in
view of the fact that it has backed up
the submarine commander in a formal
note to this Government. Such action
would arouse the Von Tirpitz follow
ing in Berlin and perhaps enable !t to
regain dominance In the imperial coun
cils. The Administration has a slight
hope that Germany will admit in the
light of the evidence presented by this
Government that the submarine com
mander "may have made a mistake."

Pinkerton Detectives Stationed in
Biltmore Hotel to Protect
Visiting Foreigners.
NEW TORK. Sept. 14. (Special.)
That threatening letters had been sent
to members of the Anglo-French finan
cial commission, now in New York to
negotiate a f 1.000.000.000 loan, became
known today when extra guards were
hired to protect the foreign financiers
at the Biltmore Hotel.
At the same time it became known
that a thoroughly organized movement
by German sympathizers is at work in
American banks to prevent the loan to
the .entente allies. . Directors of Ger
manic extraction have threatened to re
sign and depositors of Teutonic sym
pathies have threatened to withdraw
their deposits if the banks enter the
loan.
Six Pinkerton detectives were put on
guard today at the Biltmore as the re
sult of threats received through the
mails, although none of the men con
nected with the commission would ad
mit it.

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal., Sept. 14.
When the war. broke out In Europe,
Mrs. Nancy Brooks, 72 years old, was
robbed of ner husband, an officer In
the British ffrmy. Zeppelin attacks
subsequently destroyed her home In
England. She then traveled across
the sea and a continent to spend her
declining days with her son here.
She found him today incurably in

shock of his father's death and the
refusal of recruiting officers In Van

LONDON, Sept. 9. Traveling with
two chauffeurs isn't the luxury it looks
to be, since there is only one of you,
and there is always another of these
iron men to relieve at the wheel. Nor
can I decide whether am ex-professor
of the German tongue, or an ex-road
racer who has lived six years aboard,
or a brigadier makes the most thrust
ing driver through three-mile stretches
of military traffic repeated at half-
hour Intervals.
Sometimes it was motor ambulances
strung all along a level, or supply
trains, or those eternal big guns com
ing around corners w-ith trees chained
on their long backs to puzzle aero
planes and their leafy, big shell lim
bers snorting behind them. In the rare
breathing spaces men with rollers and
road metal attacked the road.
Koadl Stand Traffic Well.
In peace the roads of France, thanks
to the motor, were none too" good. In
war they stand incessant traffic far
better than they did with the tourist.
My impression, after some 700 miles
were printed off on me at between 60
and 70 kilometers an hour, was of uni
form excellence. Nor did I come upon
any smashes or breakdowns in that
distance, and they certainly were try
ing them hard. Nor. which is the great
er marvel, did we kill anybody, though
we did miracles down streets to avoid
babes, kittens and chickens.
The land is used to every detail of
war and to Its grime, horror and make
shifts, but also to war with unbounded
courtesy, kindness and long suffering
and the gayety that comes,' thank God,
to balance the overwhelming material
loss.
Every House) Damaged.
There was a village that had been
stamped flat till it looked older than
Pompeii. There were not three roofs
left nor one whole house. In most
places you saw straight into the cellars.
But hops were ripe in the grave-dotted
fields round about. They had been
brought in and piled.
In the merest outline of a dwelling
women sat on chairs on the pavement
picking over the good-smelling bundles.
When they had finished one they
reached back and pulled another

An apparently perfectly harmless
cable dispatch reached New York yes

The inonied faction of this element.
Wall street heard, would be glad to
have a chance to help; another fact. on,
composed largely of Middle Western
bankers with pro-German sympathies,
would bitterly oppose participation in
raising funds for the use of Germany's
enemies, even though the money will
all be spent in the United States.
This wa the big feature in today's
negotiations of the Anglo-French
financial commission with Wall Street
bankers who are endeavoring to assist

Policy of Exclusion DiMivoncd.
Heretofore, the commission has met
and conferred with only such bankers
as are pro-ally in their sympathies and
connections. Not a banking house with
even the remotest connection with Ger
man financial interests has been bid
den lo send its representatives to the
meetinssat which scores of New York
and out-of-town financiers have met
the members of the commission and
discussed possible terms.
Some of the largest financial instl
tutions in the United States, including
the big banking house of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., which is second in New York
only to J. P. Morgan & Co., .have thus
been excluded by this policy. Ap
parently it had been taken for granted
that it would be useless to ask finan
ciers with German sympathies to con
tribute their dollars toward the pro
posed loan. Such a policy, however,
was disavowed late today by Basil B.
Blackett, secretary of the commission.

Overtures looking to the possible
participation of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. in
the loan, while not made today, were
said to be in the making. James J

the cause of the commission jid con

Secretary of Republican National
Committee Sajs People "Will
Force Consideration of Xecd
of Xation for Prosperity.
James B. Reynolds, of Washington.
D. C, secretary of the Republican Na
tional Committee, assistant secretary of
the Treasury under President Roosevelt
and member of President Taft's tariff
commission, dropped in on Portland
yesterday in the course of a little
'scouting" trip, as he expressed it. to
sire up political conditions in the West.
They must have pleased him. for he
declared with emphasis that the Repuo
lican nominee for President, whoever
he is, will surely be elected next year.
Even the war halo President Wilson's
admirers are trying to fasten over his
head can't stave off the Republican
return to power, said Mr. Reynolds.
Field Still Open.
"The man nominated by the Repub
lican convention in 1916 will be the
next President of the United StateB," he
asserted. "I don't know who will be
nominated. The field is open and there
will be presented at least a dozen
names of favorite sons.
"The nominee will be the man who
best fits conditions and who can best
handle the Issues that exist in June,
1915. At present it Is difficult to de
termine so far in advance just what
these Issues will be and who will be
the best man for the place. But you
can depend upon it that the Republican
nominee will be elected."
Mr. Reynolds' little "scouting" trip
has been rather strenuous. He left
Washington 16 days ago. Since then
he has stopped in Chicago, Madison.
Milwaukee, Aberdeen, S. D., where' h
also met leading Republicans of North
Dakota, Helena. Butte, Spokane, Se
attle, Tacoma, anL finally, Portland.
Republicans Met Everywhere.
At some of these cities he has had
to speak, and at all of them he has
held conferences with leading Repub
licans. When he arrived in Portland
yesterday morning, he was met by C.
B. Moores, chairman of the Republican
State Central committee, E. A. Bald
win, secretary, and Ralph Williams.
Republican national committeeman.
Mr. Reynolds declares that there has
been a great change in public senti
ment in the United States since 191-.
and that the people will return the
Republican party to power next year
to bring prosperity to the country
again.
Peace Democrats' Sole Issue.
"Such an era cannot come too'soon,"
he said at the Portland hotel, where
he is staying. "Yet President Wilsoii
and his advisers have already fixed on
a plan of campaign they hope will be
successful in giving him another tern)
in the White House. This plan is. to
have him run as a 'peace president,"
and to make that the sole Issue of the
campaign.
"'Upon all other rallying cries the
soft pedal of the administration is to
be put, and all the cabinet and the
other oratorical lights of the present
dynasty are to concentrate -their vocal
guns and their fountain pens on the
one theme of how President Wilson has
kept the United States out of a Euro
pean war.
"This Is an interesting movement and
amusing as well. It is true that this
country is not under arms, and that
other nations are. It is also true the
President has done his utmost to keep
this nation from getting embroiled in
the war. What President would not do
likewise? What man is there of suffi
cient fiber to be chosen to the Presi
dency who would not exert his every
energy to keep his own country from
the horrors or organized murder under
the name of war?
No' Issue Found.
"What man would willingly pvrmit
any White House act to be the cause
of becoming a part of a conflict that is
no part of tl-e business of the United
States?
"There is no such issue before the
American people. There can be no issue
on a question where all men agree. It
requires two sides and opposing opin
ions to make an issue. There is only
one side to the question of our re
fraining from being drawn into a
bloody European crisis.
"In doing what -he can to keep this
Nation well within the bounds of neu
trality, Mr. Wilson Is doing only what
every sane and patriotic American citi
zen would do if he were today the oc
cupant of the White House. To make
claims in his behalf on such a narrow
basis is to assume that other Amer
icans would do the things that would
make war inevitable on the part of
the United States. That is an assump
tion the whole country will resent.
"Nor can Mr. Wilson and his friends
sit down and calmly decide what will
be (he issues of the next campaign, and
v.-hat will not be permitted to be die
cu.ssed. Canipaf! issues upon which
