The place where the accident hap

from the track, the resulting casual

Austrian Envoy to Continue Strikes in
v. S. With or Without Consent.
Washington-Dr. Constantin Dunn.
ba, the Austro- Hungarian ambassador,
left Wednesday for the summer en-
bassy at LenoX, Mass, to await word
from Secretary Lansing as to whether
the United States government is sat
isfied with his explanation of his in
tercepted letter to the Vienna foreign
office outlining plans for Withdrawing
Austro Hungarian labor and handicap
ping American plants manufacturing
war supplies.
1t is no secret in official circles that
the administration would not counte
nance any sort of participation in such
a movement.
The ambassadors statement to Mr..
Lansing that he was acting under in
structions from his government in all
that he planned to do apparently has
made a diplomatic issue of the affair
far more serious than a mere ques-
ton of ethics or propriety involving
only DR.. Dumba himself.
1t is understood that the ambassador
proposes TO go ahead with his plans
without regard to the attitude of the
American government
