be emphasized. They relinquished
valuable water rights on Hig Untie

unhampered, with the assurancs only
that Khould these waters ultimately

system we would use our host efforts
toward securing for them reasonable

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. 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

Jt is pointed out by American of
ficials that there are international as
well ns internal questions in Iho Mex
ican situation that need consideration
and adjustment. One is whether Car
ranza is in a position to afford nde

and another concerns payment of
claims of foreigners growing out of
the revolution.
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. II is pointed out now that
