Indignation over Ambassador Dunn
ba's conduct reached a high point to-
night Among officials the demand that
the Austrian Ambassador be sent home
was open, and diplomats generally de-
clared that they could see no other
course open to President Wilson.
There is no denying that DR.. Dumba
has lost his usefulness in this country.
Because Of the delicate relations be-
tween the United States and the Ger.
manic countries, however, President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing are not
inclined TO hand the Austrian Ambas-
sador his passports now.

The Ambassador left Secretary Lam

planation" of the plan to incite labor
troubles in this country had not been
satisfactory TO Mr. Lansing, and that
he had been told so in terms far from

tons are strengthening their positions
on the Rivers Save and Danube, pre-

The Russians already are nearly
holding their own against the Aus

most points has been brought to stop,
and in places are carrying on an active
counter offensive.

EXPLANATION ADDS
WEIGHT TO OFFENCE
Ambassador Tells Lansing He
Acted Under Instructions
from Vienna.
lFrom The rribun. Bureau. ]

Washington, Sept. President
Wilson and Secretary of State Lam
sing are considering tonight the
advisability of handing passports to
DR.. Constantin 7. Dumba, Austrian
Ambassador to this country. Both
the President and the Secretary re-
gard the action of DR.. Dumba as
merely "indiscreet" and think that
his peremptory dismissal from this
country would be too drastic punish
r1ent. Other high officials here,
however, hold different views. 1t is
understood that the President will
make known his decision tomorrow.
This information came from an
authoritative source this evening,
following a half-hour conference be-
tween Secretary Lansing and Am
bassador Dumba, in which the latter
tried to explain his reasons for seek
ing to foment trouble among Aus
trians and Hungarians employed in
the big steel plants in this country.
The offence against this govern
ment committed by Ambassador
Dumba was regarded as much more
serious tonight when the under
standing got abroad that the Am
tassador had told Secretary Lansing
that he was acting under instruc-
tions from the Austrian govern
ment in conducting his propaganda.
Neither Secretary Lansing nor DR..
Dumba would confirm this, but IT
came from persons usually we'll in
formed and caused a deep impress
sion.
It is held in official quarters that
instead of a mere case of improper
conduct by DR.. Dumba this makes it
a question of unfriendly interfer-
ence by foreign power. The recall
Of DR.. Dumba in such case, it is
declared, would not satisfy this gov
ernment, but the Austrian govern
ment would be called on to apologize.
Meant No Offence.
II is stated in making his evplana-
tion DR.. Dumba outlined the Austro-
Hungarian view of the plans dealt with
in hi: letter, contending that it con-
templated no violation of laws of the
United States nor offence against
American institutions. So far, it was
said. no steps had been taken, but the
ambassador had been instructed to give
the widest publicity to a new decree of
his government making nationsls liable
under martial law for rendering as
sistance in the manufacture Of muni-
tions of war for the enemy. This de-
cree, previously announced, provides
long terms Of imprisonment and even
hanging for Austro- o-Hungarians COM
mitting the offence at home or abroad.
Cooperation in carrying out the pur-
poses Of the law, it was pointed out,
was held 70 be mere fulflment of the
duty of an ambassador charged with
the protection of his nationals. 1t was
not denied, however. that Austro Hun
gary's representatives, while they had
no desire 10 injure American inter-
ests. would not hesitate to handicap in
any way possible the efforts Of their
enemies to obtain munitions.

Hope Seen for Riga.

Riga remains the danger point, but
the fact that the Russians still hold the
town after the Germans have advanced

the conclusion that the Russians feel
sure of their ability to defend the river
and in time to push far enough west
ward to relieve the pressure on theh
forces on the shores of the Gulf OF
Riga.
The defeat of the Russians over
front of about twenty-five miles IN the

the corn market until corn has gone
up high, for no apparent reason.
Three million bushels of corn are
now on the Kansas City markets
and II millions in Chicago, with lit

has caused heavier cattle shipments,
