Confusion in the Dumba Case.

A version purporting to be the e1-
act text OF the Austrian Ambassadors
letter to Count BURIAN was cabled
yesterday from London to the Chi
cago Herald. II this Is the true YER
sion DR.. CoNsTANTIN THEoDoR DUN
has reported attempt to get under
cover of Vienna Is knocked into nil
by high explosive.
The Ambassadors reported expla.
nation to Secretary LANSING is that
instead Of proposing to his home Gov
eminent a plan to 'disorganize and
hold up for months, II not entirely
prevent, the manufacture Of NUM-
tons in Bethlehem and the middle
West"-an undertaking (which, in the
opinion of the German Military At.
tache, Is Of great importance and
amply ~outweighs the expenditure Of
money involved"-he, the Amba ssador,
was merely carrying out "instruc-
tons" from Vienna.
There seems here TO be an endeavor
to tie up together two entirely different
things. 1t Is quite probable that the
Ambassador has had instructions from
his home Government to notify Aus
trian and Hungaria subjects in this
! country of the existence Of a law af-
fecting them II they ever return to
Austria Hungary. That Is one thing.
1t is quite inconceivable, on the other
hand. that the Imperial Government
| should OF It's own initiative instruct
its Ambassador 10 promote and TO-
ment and procure by cash expendi-
ture labor strikes designed TO cripple
legitimate industry in a friendly for.
eign country. Governments may wink
at such things when successfully un.
dertaken and carried through by a
discreet agent, but they are never i'm
beetle enough TO responsible
ity for such measures Of interference
or to put themselves on record as hav-
ing ordered them.
Ii will be observed that the Am
bassador. in this letter TO Count
BURIAS, himself clearly makes a dis
tinction between these two very diff
ferent proceedings. First. he warmly
recommends the strike proposal to tho
favorable consideration of his Lord.
ship. Then he adds that even II
strikes do not come off, the occasion
should he used ito extort, under the
pressure of the crisis, more favorable
conditions of labor for our poor down.
trodden fellow countrymen."
And finally, as If to leave no doubt
of his own initiative with respect to
the offensive part of the programme,
DR.. DUMBA urges his Excellency "a
inform him by wireless whether he
agrees to the proposals made by the
Ambassador in the letter which ARCH
IBALD undertook to deliver.
Requests for authorization do not
ordinarily follow the receipt of spe.
cifc instructions.

WORDS AND DEEDS
A Detailed Statement Of What the
United States Might Have Done.

To rur Enron OF THE SuN-Sfr: ]
have lust read your editorial article
entitled words n DeeIs, OF sep.
tember 2. II assumes hat the words
OF Mr.. Wilson have met with "conspicu-
Gus success and that no deeds ina
Colonel Roose welt could have contrib
uted would rave served better Tor the
honor of the nation and the interests
Of mankind"
venture to ask IL THE SuN truly
and seriously thinks that Mr.. wilson's
diplomacy" has been victorious ana
his 'policy" "vindicated." or II perhaps
the article was not merely a bit or the
humorous sarcasm which we all enjoy so
much when Il liz directed against our
opponents, and which does not neces-
sarily express profound or unalterable
conviction.
Al any rate, to the question as to
what deeds would have served us n
the world better than Mr.. Wilson'S
words. I would unhesitatingly reply:
A protest in the name of the great
est OF 'neutrals" against the threatened
volation of Belgian neutrality foi-
lowed by an effort. moral or physical
or both. to prevent IT.
Immediate steps. begun a year q
TO insure the safety OF the country IN
case of war. and respect for It's solemn
and earnest views (to use Mr.. Will
sons words) at all times.
Following the Lusitania murders the
dismissal of the intriguing and un-
truthful German Ambassador and the
| withdrawal of our representative from
Berlin. :,
The announcement that America could
not be expected to discharge the duties
OF a neutral when she did not receive
| the treatment TO which as a neutral she
was entitled.
The severance, therefore. not only OF
diplomatic but also OF commercial re-
~lations with Germany, which has de-
liberately and for purposes OF fright
fulness' outlawed herself from the Fam
ily of civilized nations.
The opening Of our harbors to the
| allied fleets and HI attachment OF the
| German merchantmen that are now
taking refuge in them. This would
probably, though not necessarily. mean
war; but II II did 1t would be far better
than the d!shonorable peace which Mr..
wilson's policy" and diplomacy are
| preserving for us at the expense OF the
respect of the world and our own Ia
tional self-respect.
II believed an ultimate German VIC
tory conceivable I would further argue
that in not making II impossible we are
gambling with the future of democracy
Of everything that America holds dear,
Of civilization itself. as we understand
II.
But I have confidence that Germany
can be beaten without our help. we
are losing. therefore, merely the oppor-
tunity to shorten the war, to save count
less human lives, to assert our right 10

ton. TO maintain our honor and dignity

lieved also to be the murderer OF her
husband, Jacob Vogel, the wealthy
Frultvale banker, today was held to
answer to the superior court on-a
charge of firse degree murder by Pc.
lice Judge Mortimer Smith,
Sells took the stand in his own de.
Tense and conducted his own case. He
adhered to his prior statements that
he had an accomplice, painter, in
the robbery and double murder, al
though he was unable to introduce evi.
dence to bear ont his statements. 1t
is believed by the authorities that Sells
killed both Vogel and his wife.
His first idea in stating that he had
an accomplice, the police beliece, was
to endeavor to fasten share Of the
crime on some other person, possibly
out Of revenge.

NEW PRISON WARDEN
RETURNS FROM EAST
Harry Mimic Cannot State
When He Will Assume
Charge Of Institution

Harry p. Mimic, the newly appointed
warden of the state penitentiary, re-
turned from his eastern trip this morn
ing with Sheriff Esch, and A. B.
Cook, the latter's prisoner. Mr.. Min
to has had no opportunity to confer
with the state board Of control regard
ing his appointment but received no
tice of it while he was in New York
City. He has not, therefore, decided
when he viii assume charge of the
prison although it will probably be
April !, possibly sooner if the board SO
desires.
He says that he has no official
knowledge Of any appointments made
by the board to the prison staff dur
ing his absence and would not dis
cuss the matter. Neither would he
give out any information regarding any
changes which he might make in the
present force of officers and employees
intimating that such matters could
wait until after he had assumed formal
charge Of the institution and had
familiarized himself with the efficiency
Of the present force and where, if any
changes would be needed to promote
harmony in the administration.
On his way back from Brooklyn Mr.
Minto states that he visited and in
spected the saltwater, Minnesota, pen
itentiary which is credited with being
the best in the United States and took
some notes upon the different phases OF
the management and discipline which
might be of use and value to him in
his new position, He reports that Il
had most enjoyable time but did moi
get a chance to visit Sing Sing prison
while in New York.
