R latloiiH between America iinil Austria Hungary were istralned today to the breaking point. follOwlriK America's request for Austrian Amdasnadnr Diim lia's recall becailso of his efforts to cripple American munition plants In which AuHtrlunu are employed. The threatened breach may cause pcveranrc of diplomatic relations be tween the two nations, but this would not necessarily result In war, was the conclusion reached In authoritative cir cles here. Certainly, admitted hlrh officials, the request for his recall is pregnant with possibilities of art open break. If Austria refusea 10 heed the Amer ican request, and recnll Dutnba, the United States Kovernment will hand him his pavsports. Such a course, U Is believed, would he followed by Aus trla'" handlmr pnssports to American Ambassador 1'enfleld at Vienna. There was good ground lor the be lief that liumba's home government mHy bade htm up In his recent activ ities, it was pointed out that he ap parently was acting with the direct ap proval of Austria, thounh the foreign office perhaps did not know the exact steps tie had tuken in his munition crippling plan. Should lift Koverntnent support him, Officials said u more .serious Issue would he forced than the mere elimina tion of Dumba as diplomatic represen tative here. Tho administration, how ever, confidently hopes that Austria will comply with the recall request. This government Is already arranging with the allies for'n ral'e conduct for the envoy. The general opinion here was that Ihimba will be recalled, but (Conctudert on raize TtiteH, Column One CAPTAIN VON PAPEN CASE AND MAY GO Complications With Germany May Result on Account of Military Attache's Activity, 1 1 NVOLVED IN DUMBA Washington, Sept. 10.

If It was decided that Von i'apen must be eliminated, this ko eminent would probably hint to Ambassador von Hernstorff that it would be "ac ceptable" to have the attache removed.

BRIGADIER GENERAL ONE OF VICTIMS OF TURKS Many Deaths Indicate Des perate Attempt by Allies to Force Dardanelles. London. Sept. 10. ( i. x. s.) Fif teen hundred and two British officers had been killtd, wounded and are missing for the two weeks ending August HO. on the Gallipoli Peninsula, aciording to official announcement here today. This indicates that a des perate attempt to open the Darda nelles was In progress during, that time, and probably still is In progress. The announcement said that Briga dier General Baldwin wil3 killed and three brigadier generals wounded In tho fighting. Allies Prepare for Nw Attack. I.on ion, Sept. 10. (1 N. s. ) Lord Robert Cecil, under secretary for for eign affairs, in a speech at Croydon last night, expressed the firm belief that the Dardanelles expedition was near a great success, which "would have an enormous effect in all parts of the world." It ia stated on reliable authority that a general attack on the Darda nelles may be expected very shortly. The allies are preparing for a mon ster assault. Both the fleet and land forces will be used. Large forces, including heavy land ing artillery, are now being concen trated in the Dardanelles region for the attack. Advices from Sofia state that many mine sweepers are being gathered in the vicinity of bedd-Kl-Bahr, near the entrance to the -straits. This is be lieved to foreshadow a great bom bardment "of the outer Dardanelles forts by the allies' fleet. The concentration of the allied forces recalls the reports that two large forces of Italian troops, with warships, have left Italian ports, pre sumably for the Gallipoli Peninsula, within the last few weeks.

THE Brisk Demand for Columbia River Salmon Greatest Output of Canned Product in History?; Kurope Is Buying Fresh Fish in Norhtuest. With one of the greatest outputs of tanr.ed salmon in the history of the Pacific northwest, and the greatest for a number of years, packing interests are today being almost swamped with orders for supplies at extreme prices. Not only is there liberal buying of Columbia river chlnook reported from American points by packers, and an active demand from European inter ests, but Europe is today negotiating for heavy supplies of fresh salmon in the Pacific northwest, and a goodly portion of this business will undoubt edly come to the Columbia river. Opening prices were announced to day for Alaska salmon by local inter ests. Tlie prices in comparison with a year ago show: 1915. 1914. Doz. Doz. Red $1.50 11.45 Medium red 1.15 1.15 Pink 75 .90 Chum . 65 .85 These prices are in line with the slight reduction made for Columbia river canned salmon at the opening this season, but It is believed that many of the packers will refuse to sell ex cep at slightly higher figures. The strength of the foreign demand is the big factor in the trade, and ac cording to packers assures prosperity for the entire fishing industry of the Pacific northwest. While the Columbia river pack of salmon this season is one of the great est in years, the output on Puget sound and in Alaska is abnormally small.

Antl-Oernau. Out break. Follawr. Iondon, Sept. 10. (U. i'.)Atill German outbreaks here are feared to day as a result of Wednesday night's Zeppelin attack against the city and eastern counties. German shops, boarded up since the recent antl-tjerman activities, and the subsequent internment of alien sub jects, are under close guard, lest mobs wreak their Jury upon the establish-, tne ti t s. Feeling as a result of the raids. Is at fever heat. Nothing thus far In tha war, as tt affects Kngland, has aroused such horror and resentment at the last sweep of Count Zeppelin's airships. Tho public Is nngereo, tiowever, rather than terrorized. Nevertheless Insurance companies are swamped with orders for protection policies. The government Insurance bureau Is charging less than BO cents per $.100 airship Insurance on dwellings, but In the case of protection for business buildings the rate N higher.
