YEAR 82 -- NO 210 PTEMBER 10, 1915 LAST EDITION AUSTRIA IS ASKED TO RECALL ENVOY United States Charges Flagrant Violation of Diplomatic Propriety----Austrian Ambas- ~ Sador Attempted to Cripple In- dustries of States. Washington; Sept. 10.--Ambassador Penfield at Vienna has been in- structed to inform the Austro-Hungarian Government that Dr. Constantin Dumba no longer is acceptable as an envoy to the United States, and to ask for his recall Secretary Lansing fofmally, announced the action. It was the an- -swer of the American Government to Dr. Dumba's explanation of his in= tercepted letters to Vienna outlining plans for handicapping plants in this country making war supplies for the Allies Ambassador Penfield was instructed by cable to deliver the follow- ing note to the Foreign Office: . The Ambassador's Admissions. "Constantin Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador at Washington, has admitted that he proposed to his government plans to instigate strikes in American manufacturing plants engaged in the production of muni- tions of war. "The information reached this Government through a copy of a let- ter of the ambassador to his government. The bearer was an Ameri- can citizen named Archibald, who was travelling under an American pass- port. The ambassador has admitted that he employed Arcibald to bear official despatches from him to his government. Conspiracy Against Trade. "By reason of the admitted purpose and intent of Mr. Dumba to con- spire to cripple legitimate industries of the people of the United States and to interrupt their legitimate trade, and by reason of the flagrant yio- lation of diplomatic propriety in employing an American citizen protect- ed by an American passport as a secret bearer of official through the line of the enemy of Austro-Hungary, the President directs me to inform your excellency that Mr. Dumba is no longer acceptable to the government of the United States as the ambassador of His Imperial Majesty at Washington. "Believing that the Imperial and Royal Government will realize that tha Government of the United States has no alternative but to request the recall of Mr. Dumba on account of his improper conduct, the Government of the United States expresses its deep regret that this course has become necessary, and assures.the Imperial and Royal Government that it sincere- ly desires to continue the cordial and friendly relations which exist be- 'ween the United States and Austria-Hungary." RELATIONS ARE STRAINED = BETWEEN U.S-AND AUSTRIA : (Special to the Whig.) Washington, D.C., Sept. 10.--Relations between the United States and Austria-Hungary were strained to the breaking point to-day. A breach between the two countries; which may sever all diplomatic relations, but not necessarily result in war, was reached. The Administration's request on Vienna for Ambassador Constantin Dumba's recall, it was admitted in high official circles, was pregnant with possibilities of ail open break with Austria. If his Government refuses to recall Dumba, this country will hand him his passports. "If the Administration is forced to dismiss Dumba it was regarded certain that American Ambassador Penfield at Vienna would likewise re- ceive his passports, ending diplomatic reldtions between the two coun- tries. There was good ground for belief 'that the Austrian Government will back up Dumba and force a more serious issue than merely thé elimi- nation of its envoy. Will Give Austria Reasonable Time. (Special to the Whig.) Washington," Sept. 10.--Secretary Lansing said to-day that the Unit- ed States will wait a reasonable time for Austria to comply with the re- quest for Dumba's removal. His intimation was plain that the Ghbvern- ment is prepared to hand Dumba his passports if Austria does not respond.

The latest name to be | placed upon the roll of honor is Gun- | ner Robert Campbell, who was re- cently killed at the front. Rev. G. I.

He was a carpenter by trade. Upon the ad- | vice of Rev. Mr. Campbell he decid- | ed to enlist, and became attached to the 3rd Battery of the 1st Brig- Add; Which 'encountered some pretty stiff fights. : A letter forwarded to Rev. Mr. Campbell told of his experiences and how he was meeting them. Por- tions of the same latter were print- ed in the Whig two months ago. A few days ago Rev. Mr. SauipBelt re- ceived a field post-card from Gunner Campbell stating that he was well. On Thursday the sad news was re- ceived by the: local clergyman that the' gunner had been killed in a re- cent battle, Gunner Campbell was a finely built young man. . He was thirty- two years of age and unmarried, | having while in 'the city boarded on Princess street above Albert street. ROVERTO IN FLAMES.

The Amsterdam message states that the entire town is now in flames GERMANY HAS THE GALL: To Say That Dumba Merely Did His Duty. 7 London, Sept. . 10.;.--An 'Amster dam despatch to Reuter's Telgram Company says the Wolff Bureau of Berlin has issued a semi-official note stating that if Ambassador Dumba only warned his countrymen against committing acts which the Austrian military penal code threatens to pun- ish severely, 'then this was not only his right, but also his duty."

SAME DIRTY BRUSH. All Teuton Diplomats Alike, Says Daily Telegraph. London, Sept.10.--The Daily. Tele- graph in an editorial says: "It means no difference to Great Britain and the Allies whether Austria is repre- sented at Washington by Dumba or by another. The more the changes are rung on these diplomats of Cen- tral Europedn powers, the more' they prove to be the same, whether it is Dernburg, or Bernstorff, or Dumba. They are all much alike, and all tar- red with the same dirty brush. Their means are foul. True or false, right or wrong, honorable or dishon; le, they are equally ready to tity either, provided that it looks like serving Germany's immediate inter- est of the moment. rman diplo- mats are like German generals.

"The trade in munitions will end with the war, but the trade England is now building will last," said Mr. Arneld: "It is a cunning game to obtain the world trade denied to the Teutonic allies, and: which is denied to the United States by the contra- band regulations. ° .
