U. S. HAS ASKED FOR RECALL OF
AMBASSADOR DUMBA
Washington, Sept. 1o.-The U. S.
has asked for the recall of Dr. Con-
stantin Theodore Dumba, Austrian
ambassador to this government, be-
cause of his admission that he pro-
posed to his government plans to in
stigate strikes in American manu-
featuring plants engaged in the pro-
duction of munitions of war.
In the.note given Ambassador Pen
field at Vienna to deliver to the min
lister of foreign affairs, the U. S. gov
eminent charges fragrant violations
of diplomatic propriety in conspiring
to cripple legitimate industries of the
people of the U. s. and to interrupt
their legitimate trade and in employ
ing an American citizen, protected by
an American passport as a secret
bearer of official dispatches through
the lines of the enemy of Austro-
Hungary. 49,.
A similar step may be taken in re-
gard to the German military attache,
Capt Won Papen. In the letter writ
ten by Dr. Dumba to his government,
which was found among the effects
of James ]. F. Archibald when he was
arrested by the English police, Capt
Won Pepen was equally interested in
the scheme to cause strikes in Ameri-
can manufacturing plants.
Three British ministers, two French

A. G. SPALDING DEAD

San Diego, CAL, Sept. 1o.-Friends
of Albert G. Spalding, the millionaire
sporting goods man and veteran big
league baseball pitcher, who died sud-

DO YOU DREAD The COLD?

Some people enjoy cold weather, take
pleasure in winter sports and the keen
air calls the pink to their cheeks and the
red to their lips. Others shrink from
cold and turn blue at the least exposure
to frosty air.
The difference is In the blood. Rich,
red blood warns the body. Every long
breath OF pure cold air increases the oxy-
gen it carries to everypart of the system.
Thin blood is unable to take up the life
sustaining oxygen. The body lacks nour-
ishment and the sufferer is always cold,
takes chill easily and is miserable all
winter.
Thin blood is largely hesufferer's own
fault. 1t results from neglect, because
the blood can be builtup. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills supply the elements that the
blood needs to make it rich and red and
to enable it to carry more oxygen. Build
ing up the red portion OF the blood is
simple but because thin blood does not
call attention to itselfit is often neglected.
Have you seriously considered taking
course of treatment with these blood
making pills? Ifyou are in doubt write
Tor information.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and the DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, will send
