Washington, Sept. 1O.-President
Wilson's request for the recall Of
Austrian Ambassador Dumba has
broadened into a situation involving
Captain Frank Won Papen, military
attache Of the German embassy;
Austrian Consul General Won Pereked
at New York and possibly the Ger
man ambassador, Count Won Bern
storff. The official view is that the
ambassador, although technically in
voIved, is not so seriously concerned
as the others It is not unlikely that
Van Papen and Won Pereked win be
recalled Or dismissed from the coun-
try.
Official Washington takes the view
that the friendly relations with the
Gcrmanic powers are more strained
than ever as the result of these dis
closures. coupled with Germany's
disappointing and unsatisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the sinking of the
Arabic. Hopes that the submarine
crisis had been passed, and a break
with Germany avoided, have been dis
placed by misgivings. The talk of
the possibility Of breaking diplomatic
relations again is heard This time
it involves both Germanic powers.
The only basis of optimism in the
submarine question in official quart
ers is furnished BY unofficial reports
that a second note has been started
from Berlin The reply to the Arabic
note probably will be delayed until
additional advices from Berlin are
received. If no modification is re-
ceived a reply probably will be sent
to Berlin next week.
