t Austro-#!ungM-Ua Ambaraador Calls
on American Secretary of State and
Goes Into Detailed Explanation of
His Intention*—Would Keep Sub
ject* Out of Munition Factories.
Dr. Constantin T. Dumba, the Aua-
trlan-Hungaricn ambassador, laid be
fore Secretary Lansing Tuesday an
explanation of a letter written by him
to the Vienna foreign office discuss
ing plans for withdrawing Austro-
Hungarian labor from American
plants making war supplios for Great
Britain and her allies.
Neither the ambassador nor Mr
Lansing would comment upon the in
terview when it was over. The im
pression prevailed In official quarters,
however, that the secretary would
submit the matter to iPresldent Wil
son, with whom would rest the deci
sion as to whether the explanation
was satisfactory.
The text of Dr. Dumba's letter, re
cently setzfed by British authorities
from its bearer, James 'F. J. Archi
bald, an American, was cabled to the
state department by Ambassador
Page at London, and had been the
subject of a conference between the
president and Secretary Lansing be
fore the ambassador reached the de
partment.
It is understood that the use of an
American passport to shield the mes
senger who carried not only the
Dumba letter, but dispatches from
the German embassy and other docu
ments, was regarded by them as quite
as serious a matter as the activities
revealed by the letter itsolf.
Mr. Lansing's only statement on
the subject was a negative response
when asked whether any steps had
been taken toward bringing the situ
ation to the attention of the Austro-
Hungarian foreign office.
From reliable sources It was learn
ed that Dr. Dumba, in making his ex
planation, outlined the Austro-Hun
garian view of the plans dealt with In
hie letter, contending that It contain
ed no violation of laws of the United
States nor offences t gainst American
Inatitotions. Bo far. It was said, no
steps had been taken, but the ambas
sador had been instructed to give
widest publicity to a new decree of
his government making nationals
liable under martial law for render
ing assistance in the manufacture of
munitions of war for the enemy.
This decree, previously announced,
provides punishment of long terms of
imprisonment, and even death by
hanging, for Austro-Hnngarinns com-
mltting the offence at home or
abroad. Co-operation in carrying out
the purposes of the law, It was point
ed out, was held to be mere fulfill
ment of the duty of an ambassador
charged with protection of his na
tionals. It was not denied, however,
that Austria-Hungary's representa
tives, while they had no desire to In
jure American Interests, would not
hesitate to handicap In any way pos
sible the efforts of their enemies to
obtain munitions.
At the embassy It was stated that
Ambassador Dumba expected to see
Secretary of Labor Wilson before re
turning to his summer quarters at
Lenox, Maas. The ambassador is
known to be working on a scheme
for setting up an employment bureau
to take care of men who leave muni
tion factories at his instigation.
He wants the co-operation of de
partment of labor oridals In the plan.
After seeing Secretary Lansing. Dr.
Dumba returned to the state depart
ment and conferred with Assistant
Secretary Phillips, in charge of the
Western European affairs division. It
was understood that they discussed
some matters of routine business.
There has been no suggestion that
the ambassador had violated Ameri
can law, and apparently the only
question is whether the administra
tion will regard his acts as breaches
of diplomatic propriety. Dr. Dumba
himself asked for the conference with
Mr. Lansing after the announcement
of Archibald's detention and the pub
lication in this country of extracts
from his letter.
The first Information of the fact
that Archibald was a messenger to
Germany came from London when
the British authorities gave to the
New York World’s correspondent the
facts. When they were published in
America, says the New York Times,
Dr. Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian
ambassador, admitted that he gave
James J. Archibald, an American
newspaper correspondent, a letter for
delivery to Foreign Minister Burian
In Vienna, In which he proposed cer
tain measures to be taken to hamper
the manufacture of munitions for the
Allies in America.
Dr. Dumba did not seem perturbed
aver the detention of Archibald at
Falmouth and the confiscation of the
letter and other official documents
which the German and Austro-Hun
garian embassies in this country had
intrusted to him for delivery to home
officials of their respective govern
ments. He defended as entirely le
gitimate the measures which he pro
posed in his letter, as calculated to
restrict the output of munitions for
the Allies.
According to dispatches cabled to
this country, the letter written by Dr.
Dumba, which was found in Archi
bald’s cabin on the steamship Rot
terdam, represented that “We can
disorganize and hold up for months,
If not entirely prevent, the manufac-
of munitions In Bethlehem and
gflddle West, which, in the opin
ion or the German military attache,
i» of great Importance and amply out
weighs the expenditure of ths money
volved.” This object has to be ac

The Ruulah'cabinet resigned Sat
urday. A coalition cabinet will be
formed in its stead. Some of the
former .ministers will have posts in
the new cabinet. The reorganisation
of the cabinet which Is expected to
bring with It an Increase of repre
sentatives by ten, five of whom are to
come from tho Duma, follows the de
mand of the majority of the Duma,
consisting of liberal and progressive
members for a number of reforms
among which seven are chlofly promi
nent,
It was stated on August 30 that
the .Czar's government stood ready to
make the cabinet revision, adding
five members of tho council of the
empire to the five Duma members, by
which the governing body was to be
augmented. The purpose is to make
the cabinet and the representative
body more closely co-operative. 1 It is
expected that M. Krivosheln, minis
ter of agriculture, will succeed M.
Goremykn as premier.
The reforms that are demanded
with the reorganization Include am
nesty for political and religious of
fenders, autonomy for Poland, steps
to remove the disabilities of the
Jews, a conciliatory policy for Fin
land, the enlargement of the rights of
labor, including the fostering of
labor union workers’ interests, the
agreement of the government of the
Duma upon bills for supplying muni
tions and providing for the defence
and measures of internal reform.
M. Goremykn, who, as president of
the council of ministers, served as
premier, will retire from active ser
vice. Goremykn was appointed Jan
uary 30, 1914. Minister of War Pol-
tvanoff will retain his post in the
new cabinet, according to rettahje re
ports. Foreign Minister Sasonoff Is
also expected to keep his portfolio
It Is understood Emperor Nicholas
has requested Finance Minister Bark
to continue his duties.
According to reliable reports, the
reorganization of the cabinet which
had been planned by the Czar for
more than a month. The new cabinet
will be known as “a war ministry.’’
and it Is probable that a minister of
munitions will be added to It, as was
done in England.
Premier Goremykn has always
been regarded as a bureaucrat and
reactionary. It was his Influence that
caused the downfall of M White as
a power in Russia. When he was ap
pointed premier one authority said
“The friends of progress view hie
appointment with the gravest appre
hension.’’
Only recently the Czar bestowed
upon him the Order of 8t. Andrew,
highest of the Muscovite decorations
and a mark of signal honor. He Is
seventy-one years old and one of the
richest men In Russia.
BERNSTORFF DENIES HE USED
ARCHIBALD AS MESSENGER
Denounce* Several “Interviews’’ as
False—Did Not and Will .Not
Talk to tlie Reporters. %
Count von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, emphatically denied in
New York on Saturday that he had
used or attempted to use Jemes F. J.
Archibald, the American messenger
of Dr. Constantin T. Dumba, Aus
trian ambassador, as a message-bear
er to Berlin.
“In view of the repeated assertions
by several newspapers that I sent
messages to my government by Mr.
Archibald,, said Count von Bern
storff, "I wish to state that I never
gave Mr. Archibald a single paper or
anything else. I thought I made this
plain In Washington, but feci a repe
tition Is now needed.
“I did not attempt to use Mr. Arch
ibald as a messenger, chiefly because
did not think It safe, and he cer
tainly did not prove safe.”
Count von Bernstorff, when shown
a newspaper containing cn Interview
purporting to have been given by the
ambassador through a person close
to the ambassador, quoting him as
saying that if the United States sev
ered diplomatic relations with Ger
many war would follow almost Imme
diately, made this statement:
“I lia%p given no interview: I never
intend to give an interview, and any
thing that is published and represent
ed as coming from me Is a fake. Ob
viously, I can not discuss the partic
ulars of the purportel interview, for
if I dfd I would then be giving an in
terview,”

Use of Archibald aa Messenger Says
Lansing, is an Abuse Of American
Jaasport—Several Other German
Attaclies are Under Cloud—Papers
are Awaited.
President Wilson’s request to Aus
tria to recall her ambassador, DRr.
Constantin Theo<lor Dumba, has
brought about a situation which con
tains possibilities of extending to oth
er diplomats of the Germanic allies.
dr. Dumba used James F. J. Archi
bald, an American bearing an Ameri
can passport, as a messenger to carry
a communication to the Vienna for
eign office. Although it has not been
called officially to the attention of
this government, the state depart
ment understands unofficially that
Archibald also carried a communica
tion for Captain von Papen, military
attache, of the German embassy.
Secretary Lansing said Friday that
the American government considered
the ending of any communication by
the means which Dr. Dumba used an
abuse of an American passport. Of
ficials refused to discuss the situa
tion further, but it is known that the
activities of Consul Gen. von Nuber
of Austria, and Vount von Bern
storff, the German ambassador, are
again being reviewed by the state de
partment.
Captain von Papen’s letter, which
was a private communication to his
wife, is now on its way to the state
department from London. Officials
said the fact that it was a private
and not an official communication
did not alter the case. It is under
stood that the writer made slighting
references to American officials.
Another document for which offi
cials are waiting is an enclosure In
Dr. Dumba's letter which referred to
negotiations between Consul General
von Nuber and the editor of a for
eign language newspaper concerning
the bringing about of strikes in the
Bethlehem works and other war mu
nitions factories.
It was made plain, however, that
although the state department has
been fully advised of the activities of
Count von Bernstorff, he was not in
volved to the extent of Dr. Dumba.
There was serious consideration,
however, whether Captain von Papen
or Consul General von Nuber should
be allowed to remain longer in the
countrv.
Archibald also carried a communi
cation for Count Bernstorff, but It
was a copy of a statement which had
been forwarded to the German am
bassador by Secretary Lansing. In
the note to the Vienna foreign office
asking Dr. Dumba's recall. Secretary
Lansing referred to the purpose of
the ambassador to conspire to cripple
legitimate Industries. Officials were
engaged Friday In a study of whether
Cspt. von Papen and Consul Gen von
Nuber were not concerned In whet
the American government has charac
terised as a conspiracy.
One official who has been studying
the situation said Friday that al
though the German ambassador. In
sending a communication by a person
carrying an American passport may.
have technically contributed to an
abuse of that document, in the view
of ths stats department, the nature
of the communication he sent was of
such a legitimate character that his
act probably would not be regarded
as offensive.
Captain von Papen’s letter, how
ever, is said to be decidedly offen
sive. as it is the nature of Consul
Gen. von Nuber's connection with the
affair as disclosed by the papers
which the British secret service men
took from Archibald at Falmouth.
It was believed In the best Inform
ed circles that further ateps would
not be taken until the additional doc
umentary evidence comes from Lon
don and until Vienna has been heard
irom on President Wilson’s request
for the recall of Dr. Dumba.
In official and diplomatic circles, it
is expected Austria will recall her'
ambassador without delay, but that
if she recents the action of the Unit
ed States and stands behind the ac
tion of her envoy she may not send
another.
Summary action of the United
States government in the case of Am
bassador Dumba recalled to students
of diplomacy similar incidents in
America’s international relations.
The first case was handled by Pres
ident Washington, who In 1793 ask
ed for the yecaTl of the French am
bassador, Citizen Genet. He repre
sented the citizen’s committee of
France, organized by Louis XVI.
Coming with commissions for Ameri
cans willing to equip sea raiders
against British commerce, he began,
a series of speeches against England.
These were declared to be unneutral
and Genet was recalled.
The Spanish minister to Washing
ton in 1850 was compelled to accept
his passports after he had been
charged with Offering to bribe a Phil
adelphia editor to represent Spain’s
arguments in a controversy with the
United States.
The first British representative in
Washington, to be recalled was F. J.
Jackson, who In 1809 charged bad
faith against the American govern
ment. He declared an agreement had
been made between his predecessor
and the United States, which, Ameri
can officials know,\ the English min
ister had no power to sign.
M. Potssun. the French minister,
was recalled in 1849 becanse he had
been Impudent to the American sec
retary of state.
Great Britain recalled Minister
Crampton in 1855. He was charted
with three British consuls, with mak
ing engagements for recruits for the
English army daring the Crimean
war. Actual engagement was not to
taka place until the recruits reached
Various Flags.
A statement given out by the Over
seas News Agency In Berlin and re
layed to America by wireless quotes
the Weberzetltung of Bremen as say
ing that the British steamship South
land, serving as a transport, was tor
pedoed recently In Turkish waters.
“The’ Weserzeltung of . Bremen
points out that the transport South
land was torpedoed In Turkish
waters. The Southland formerly was
the Red Star liner Vaderland, These
steamers flew the Belgian fldfg ’up to
the time of the occupation of Bel
gium, and then sailed under the
American flag. Now the Southland,
which lately was flying the American
flag, suddenly was changed Into a
British transport.
No previous report has been made
concerning the torpedoing of the
Southland. A wireless dispatch from
Berlin last week quoted a telegram
from Sofia to the effect that a British
transport had been sunk by a mine
off the entrance to the Dardanelles,
with the loss of 1,870 men. It was
thought at the time that the Berlin
report might have been an inaccurate
version of the sinking of the British
transport Royal Edward in the
Aegean Sea on August 14 by a Ger
man submarine.
The British government has made
no announcement of the sinking of
another transport, following the loss
of the Royal Edward. Shipping rec
ords show, however, that the Red
Star liner Vaderland was renamed the
Southland, being placed under the
British flag, and was commandeered
by the British government for war
purposes last March. She is listed as
being employed in the hospital ser
vice.
SAYS WEATHER WAS BAD
WHEN 0RDUNA WAS SHELLED
German Government Says Submarine
Commander Violated Instruc
tions in Firing on Liner.
Germany’s explanation of the un
successful attempt to destroy the
Cunard liner Orduna on July 9, is
that the submarine commander vio
lated his instructions, which were not
to attack any liner but that because
of the weather he waa unable to
make out the character or nationality
of the Orduna.
The Orduna, bound from Liverpool
to New York with some two hundred
passengers, of which twenty-two were
Americans, was attacked by a torpedo
which barely mlsaed and then was
shelled by the submarine until she
was out of range.
To substantiate the statement that
the German commander was Inclined
to follow his orders. It is stated that
he soon afterward allowed the steam
er Normandie, carrying a cargo of
lumber, to pass unmolested.
The German explanation, which
comes In the form of a note, was laid
before President Wilson Monday by
Secretary Lansing and may figure In
further discussions of the submarine
issue with Count von Bernstorff, the
German ambassador.

BERUN TAKES SANE VIEW
Newspapers See Friendliness and Ha/
Recall Request Admissible.
The Berlin newspapers, after see
ing the American note to Austria re
questing the recall of Ambassador
Dumba. and having read the letter
from Dr. Dumba to Baron Burian,
Austrian minister of foreign affairs,
which caused the sending of the note,
discuss the matter with greater re
serve.
The Tageblatt says the fact can
not be mistaken that the American
government has taken pains to keep
the note In friendly tones. The pa
per calls attention to the fact that
Washington asks, not demands, the
recall of Dr. -Dumba, and wishes a
continuance of friendly relations.
’ ' The Vosslsche Zeitung also notes
that Washington avoids the more
abrupt course of demanding the re
call of Dr. Dumba, dissolving per
sonal relatioas and handing him his
passports, which, It says, Is admis
sible In such cases.
