News of Austria-Hungary's reception of the American note requesting the! recall of Ambassador Dnntlm eagerly was awaited here today in government and diplomatic circles. Officials appear ed optimistic in tho belief that the sumiuarv notion would not result, in any international issue. Tlio recall of the'eiivoy was asked for in a communication from Secre tary Lansing, which Ambassador 1'enficld nt Vienna was to deliver at once to the Austrian foreign minister. It stated in patt: Cripplo U. S. liulit.stry "Hy reason of tho admitted purposo and intent of Mr. Diimba to conspire to cripple legitimate industries of the people of the United States nnd to interrupt their legitimate trade, and by reason of the flagrant violation of diplomatic propriety in employing ar. American citizen protected hy an American passport as u secret bearer of official dispatches thiough the lines of Austria-Hungary, tho presi dent directs me to inform your excel lency that Mr. Dunibn is no longer acceptable to the govcrnmont of tho United Status as tlio ambassador of his imperial majesty ut Washington.'' The note expressed regrot for tho necessity of retiuesting Dr. lliunba's recall and gave assurances of u de sire for the continuance of cordial and friendly relations between the United States and Austro-Ilungary. Zm-ldliick in Clint go 11 was-suggested that Huron Von Zweidinck, counsellor of the embassy, would be made charge d'nffni't's to remain until the conclusion of tho war. In ordinary times the failtiro of a government to send a successor to nn ambassador who had been recalled would indicate its displeasure over the request. In this case, however, it was pointed out that difficttltiot over sending a new envoy mndo a dis tinct difference. It was admitted (hat n situation might nriso which might have a seii niis effect on tho relations between the two governments. Tho text of tho note was hold clearly to indicati Washington's desire to have Dr. Ihiinbu recalled without stirring up n diplomatic issue. It was pointed out, however, tlint it the Vienna foroi-'n offieo should determine to uphold tho ambassador, severance of diplomatic relations probably would result. Such a development, oven it war did no', follow, would seriously affect Amer ica's rolo of diplomatic representa tive for Austria-Hungary and other European belligerents. Diplomatic Kensatloii Whilo Secretary Lnnsing's an nouncement of the rcouest for tho rc call added another international sen sation to the list thai has stirred Washington intlio last your, official comment was not forthcoming. Ne. crlhiiless, the feeling seemed appar ent in government circles that no dip lomatic jssuo willi Austria-Hungary would arii-c. Hr. lhtmba probably will not be compelled to accept his passpotts, hut will be permitted to re main in the United States at will and await word from Vienna. If he wants lo return home, the United State must secure nssurnncoi. of safe con duct for him fiom Circut Hrituiu and her allies. The determination to ask for Or, Diimba's recall followed swiftly upon his interview Tuesday with Secretary Lansing. He admitted then that he hnd proposed to his government plans o initinto strikes in American iniuii tiuus factories. While it hud been known that officials considered the ambassador's conduct us a grave breneh of propriety, yot there was a widespread impression that tho onl, immediate step would bo the cancel lation of the passport of Arehibald, (he American messenger whoa ar test by Itrilii.lt officials and seizure of Dr. Duiubn's dimtcho procipi tstcd ilia incident.

(leneral Carranan will declare, however, that he does not wish to ig nore the fricndlv liitciest of the United States, Argentine, llrnzil llo livia, Chile, Uruguay and fluateninla, and for that reason will say that if there are any international aspects which can properly ho considered with representatives of tho Piui-Atii-erican governments ho will appoint representatives to inoqt them.

At tho mutilation conference at Ni agara Falls last year Carranza de clined mediation of internal affairs of Mexico, but offered to outer the con ference to consider international questions. His proposal was i eject cd on tlm ground that he could not be permitted lo limit the scope of the mediation.
