Duma, the Austrian-Hungarian ambassador, laid before Secretary Lansing to-day an explanation of 1 letter written by him to the Vienna foreign office discussing plans for withdrawing Austro-Hungarian labor from American plants making war en-nrilioc fnr firent Rritnin anH hpt* allies. Neither the ambassador' nor Mr. Lansing would comment upon the interview when it was over. The impression prevailed in official quarters, however, that the Secretary would submit the matter to President Wilson, with whom would rest the decision as to whether the explanation was satisfactory. The text of Dr. Dumba'j letter, recently seized by British authorities from its bearer, James F. J. Archibald, an American, was cabled to the State department early today by Ambassador Page at London, and had been the subject of a conference between the President and Secretary Lansing before the ambassador reach 4-V* /-I Tf 1C nw/loWArtrl cu me ucpai UII^IIU id 10 uiiutiawva that the use of an American passport to shield the messenger who carried not only the Duraba letter, but dispatches from the German embassy und other documents was regarded by them as quite as serious a matter as the activities revealed by the letter itself. , Lansing is Silent. Mr. Lansing's only statement on the subject was a negative response when asked whether any steps had teen taken towards bringing the situation to the attention of the Austro-Hungarian foreign office. From reliable sources it was learned to-night that Dr. Dumba, in making his explanation, outlined the Austro-Hungarian view ef the plans dealt with in his letter, contending that it contained no violation of laws ;>f the United States nor offences against American institutions. So'far, it was said, no steps had been taken, but the ambassador had been instructed to give widest publicity to a new decree of his Government mak- * ng nationals liable under martial law fnr rpmleHncr nssistnnrp in mnrrn ? o ?? facture of munitions of war for the pnemy. This decree, previously announced, provides punishment of long terms of imprisonment, and even ' death by hanging, for Austro-Hunjarians committing the offence at 1 home or abroad. Co-operation in 1 carrying out the purposes of the law, it was pointed out, was held to be I mere fulfilment of the d.uty of an ] ambassador charged with protection ] of his nationals. It was not denied \ however, that Austria Hungary's rep- ( resentatives, while they had no desire [ ^ injure American interests, would < not. hesitate to handicap* in any way possible the efforts of their enemies to obtain munitions. l^Riployment Bureau. > At thp pmhaetv tn.riiorVit it mac ' stated that Ambassador Dumba ex- I pected to see Secretary of Labor Wil- ,, ion to-morrow before returning to his summer quarters at Lenox, Mass. The ambassador is known to be working ] sn a scheme for setting up an employment bureau to take care of men /?ho leave munition factories at his ? instigation. He wants the co-operation of department of labor officials in the plan. After seeing Secretary ? Lansing, Dr. Dumba returned to the s State department and conferred with 1 Assistant Secretary Phillips, in rharge of the Western European af- l [airs division. It was understood ;hat they discussed some matters of C routine business. There has been no suggestion here .hat the ambassador had violate^ American law, and apparently the >nly question is whether the Adminstration will regard his acts as s jreaches of diplomatic propriety.
