ready tber. An answer within ' two
day8 la anticipated, because cf a prob
ability that Austria wishes to prevent
a more grievous rupture than already
conrrontg tha two nations.
Dumba's passports have been pre
pared and will be forwarded to him as
oon as Vienna's plans are known. He
will not call again at the state depart
ment, and probably will not return to
Washington.
It was officially stated that Presi
dent Wilson was most reluctant to act
against Dumha. desiring to avoid a
breach, particularly at a time when J
relations with Austria's ally, Ger
many, are already stralnea.
Bernstorff Hay Be Involved.
The possibility was suggested that a
similar Issue will be raised with Ber
lin on account of German Ambassador
Bernstorffa relations with American
Correspondent Archibald and the en-1
voy s alleged interest in a. utiuuu
plan to call out German munition
workers, as Dumba contemplated doing
with Austrlans.
Archibald, upon whom were found
the telltale Dumba letters. Is return
ing to America, under an emergency
passport Issued By this government,
and an investigation of his part in
the Austrian and perhaps German
plans will be instituted.
Contents of tetters Concealed.
Archibald was quoted this week as
saying he trad been made a scape
goat by Dumba, not knowing the con
tents of the letters he was carrying
to Vienna. If he proves this, it la be
lieved that. the United States can maka
no case against him.
If Austria ' supports Ambasador
Dumba and insists that It was not
only his right, but his duty to warn
Austrlans against working In muni
tion plants the crisis will be reached.
In such an event there would un
doubtedly be diplomatic negotiations
to thresh out the old dispute of "dual
citizenship."
Etiquette Beqnires Recall.
The issue of rights of a foreigner,
without naturalization in this country,
has not arisen in a long time.
It was regarded as possible, how
ever, that to avoid a further breach
Austria would merely register Its dis
pleasure and give Its moral support to
Dumba b,y falling to appoint a suc
cessor. Diplomatic etiquette practically re
quires his recall.
The "'code" of relations between gov
ernments Kives America the right to
determine a diplomat's personal desir
ability, though at the same time it
would not prevent Austria, In the pres
ent circumstances, from making an
issue.
Action Cause Sensation.
The American government's action i
against Dumba created a distinct sen-
satlon.
It had been known that the admlnis- J
tratlou was distinctly displeased at nis
course, and while inklings of drastic
ction were given late yesterday,
officials had not generally known that
this government Intended to go as far
as to ask recall.
Dumba was popular with the diplo
matic and social set of the capital. Hi
had served here nearly three years,
marking the culmination of over 30
years of service in Important capac
ities in capitals.
Will Recall Dumba, lieport Says.
Amsterdam, Sept. 10. (I. N. S. )
Consternation reigned in Vienna when
President Wilson's message demanding
the recall of the ambassador to Wash
ington, Konstantin Dumha, was re
ceived, according to dispatches here
today from the Austrian capital. As
noon as Ambassador I'enfield delivered
the communication of hiB government,
Baron ISgrian. Austrian foreign minis
ter, conferred at length with Kmperor
1'ianz Josef. No statement was given
out as to the rrnult of the conference.
"It can be definitely stated, how

New York, Kept 10. (I. N. S.)
Count von Hohenlohe, attache of the
Austrian embassy, stated here today
that Ambassador Dumba had been
forewarned that he would be recallod
from service In Washington and that
he would not be surprised by receipt
of an official order to return to
Vienna.
Ambassador Dumba and Count von
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
conferred for hours yesterday. They
were out in an automobile together
until early today. It was intimated
by Count von Hohenlohe that Von
Bernstorff will direct Austrian at
fairs In the United States after
Dumba Is recalled.

manding Recall.
MORE THAN A REBUKE
Only Course Compatible with Dignity
ox United States ; Other Forma of
Commendation Are Expressed,
New York, Sept. 10.-(1. N. S.) The
announcement that President Wilson
has asked Austria-Hungary to recall
Ambassador Dumba for conspiring to
disorganize the munitions industry
came so late that few editorials cn the
matter were printed throughout tho
United States.
Those newspapers that had an op
portunity to express themselves de
clared In no uncertain terms that
President Wilson took the onlv pos
sible move to preserve the dignity of
the United States. Some of the edi
torials are appended:
Is More Than a Befenke.
New York World President Wilson
haa done more than rebuke an indis
creet diplomatist who was found
guilty of grossly reprehensible con
duct. He has served notice upon both
Germany and Austria that there is an
end to the anti-American conspiracy
which they have subsidized In this
country in flagrant disregard of inter
national good faith and International
decency.
New York Sun The critical circum
stances brought about by Ambassador
Dumba's maladroitness have been met
with a dignity and a decision that must
command the respect of the citizens of
the United States.
Austria Evaded Duty.
New York Times Waiting too long
and evading her plain duty, Austria
has brought upon herself the humilia
tion of having to be told that her am
bassador to the United States is m
longer acceptable and must be recalled
A finer sense of the international pro
prieties would have prompted her tc
forestall this unpleasant reminder by
a notice to our government that Mr.
Dumba's acts were disapproved.
President's Action Pleasing.
New York Herald A great wave
of satisfaction will sweep over
the United States because of the ac
tion of President Wilson in asking for
the recall of Dr. Dumha. '
That the ambassador who Is recalled
Is not Count von Bernstorff Is due
not to the count's lack of offense, but
to the greater finesse which the Ger
man diplomatist has employed In com
mitting even greater offenses than Dr.
Dumba.
Took Only Course Open.
.New York Tribune President Wil
son has taken the only course compati
ble with the dignity and honor of the
United States. To have hesitated to dis
miss him, to have waited one minute
beyond the time necefcsary for a proper
Investigation, to have seemed to count
the cost, would have been to lower the
prestige of this country and to Invite
further affronts to Its honor.
New York Press It 'is a relief to
Fee that President Wilson has at last
got up pluck enough to Intimate to
Vlnn, lhaf II.
ambassador to this
country Is no longer acceptable to us.
This way of getting rid of Dumba is
thoroughly a Wilson way a way that
robs the act of all emphasis and all
the force of red-blooded Indignation.
Calls It Say of Light.
Philadelphia Inquirer ThiB Is the
first genuine ray of light that has
come out from Washington since thu j
Kuropean war began. The United
States has been played with. But at j
last President Wilson has come to th
conclusion that If this country is to
be respected something more than
mere words is necessary. And so Dr.
Dumha Is to go. i

Si:
dent Wilson did the only thing possi
ble to do under the circumstances. He
could not have done leas and main-;
tained even a shadow of self respect. ,
He could not have done less and re
tained the respect and confidence of j
the American people. I
"Wall Done, Woodrow Wilson." J
Philadelphia Record The verdict f i
the country upon this outcome of the
revelation of Dumba's plotting against
the Industrial peace of
the United 1
States will be "well done, Woodrow
Wilson!" Who wants to be next?
Chicago Herald The government of
the United States nas notified the
government of Austria that it can no
longer tolerate the presence in thts
country of Dr. Dumba, ambassador
from Vienna, and asked that he be re
moved from Washington.
President Wilson has taken tha
proper and only possible action in the
case. Dr. Dumba connived at and
plotted to destroy our industrial
peace. He violated the
ethics of hospitality, sought secretly
embarrass the government to which
he is accredited, flagrantly set at i
naught the code of diplomatic pro
priety and conspired to cripple our In
dustries and destroy our legitimate
trade.
For these reasons Dr. Dumba must
go. If Austria, in view of all these
facts, will not recall him, he must be
expelled.
Country Will Support President.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat While it
Is to be hoped that Austria-Hungary
will graciously respond to the request
for the recall of Dr. Dumba and dis
avow his activities, the country will
support the president in his request,
necessary to protect the dignity of th
nation, whatever the consequences.
It is difficult to see how Austria
Hungary can in good faith defend its
ambassador's course.
Cleveland Leader Dumba must go.
The president has acted wholly within
the limits of right and propriety in
requesting the recall of Dr. Dumba.
That gentleman has made impossible
such relations between himself and the
government at Washington as are im
plied in the diplomatic intercourse ot
friendly states. He has absolutely
ended his usefulness in his present
position.
Boston Journal Secretary Lansing's
request for the recall of Ambassador
Dumba Is the only course this country
could pursue after the revelations of
the Austrian envoy's malicious med
dling with American affairs. It satis
fies both the honor and neutrality of
the United States.
Official usefulness Affected.
Kansas City Journal The American
people are amazed to learn that so far
from any "explanation" being offered
Ambassador Dumba vigorously defends
his actions so far as they concern him
personally and declares that he acted
:n obedience to explicit instructions
from his government.
If this does not end the official use
fulness of Dr. Dumha In this country,
what conceivable breach of the propri
eties, if not violation of the laws of
nations, would be calculated to do so?
Springfield (111.) State Register
This morning's developments say that
Dumba's recall has been asked by the
American government. This Is the
proper course to pursue.

their patriotism. He declared they are
fighting the employers' greed. In re
sponse to this, Lloyd-George told the
members of the Bristol congress that
profits have been eliminated from 9a
per cent of. the munition factories.
Nevertheless, Lansbury is right in
declaring the workers must struggle
to meet the high. cost of living. It is
improbable that Britain will solve the
munitions problem until the problem
following the rise of S3 per cent In
the cost of living this year has been
solved first.
