about his own recall. smiled a broad,
expansive smile at the land he Was

81 go away without airy I'll VIII
toward any one. My stay of more
than two years is a delightful memory.
Some time | hope to come back and
make a pleasant and extended tour OF
your country" Before boarding the
steamer. an hour before sailing time,
DR.. Dumba made the above statement.
When he alighted from a tsxicab at
the entrance to the pier DR.. Dumba
wore an expression OF apprehension.
He glanced nervously through the rain
spattered glass door before leaving the
vehicle, as though fearing n demon
stration. Or. Dumba had sent his vi
vacious young wife from the Hotel st.
Regis 10 the Nieuw Amsterdam in an
other machine half an hour earlier, as
a matter of precaution.
Gaining the upper floor Of the pier
and meeting only silent, curious
glances from the ships passengers and
their friends, the departing ambassa-
dor became easier. lie became affable
and allowed photographers to lead him
to the very end of the structure, down
a fight Of dark stairs, and then stood
looking out over the driZZle-swept
Hudson as the camera men snapped
him. lie obeyed their instructions to
assume various poses as recruit
would heed orders Of drillmaster.
Dumba Smiles Farewell.
When the ship was under way DR..
Dumba unmasked his most delighted
look As the Nieuw Amsterdam began
sliding out alongside the pier the eyes
of the Austrian Ambassador, who stood
with his wife at the rail. lit with
merry twinkle. lie reached in a pocket
for handkerchief and glancing di-
rectly toward Prince zu Hohenlohe-
Schillingsfuerst. first secretary of the
Austrian Embassy, on the pier, he
dabbed the bit Of folded linen TO either
cheek. II might have been that the
fine rain driving against his face an
noyed him.
Dr. Dumba's last hours spend in thia
country were busy. A dozen friends
called at the St Regis before 10 o'clock
70 bid him bon voyage. There were the
employees TO tip. which he did, literally,
with S. bills: personal servants 70 send
to the steamer; the safety OF his wife
on her last trip across town TO con-
slider. and a gathering of reporters to
talk TO without saying anything.
That he anticipated an unfriendly
outburst was evident. When he
glanced through the hotels revolving
door at the curious crowd gathered on
the curb, he was obviously relieved to
see dozen patrolmen, summoned by
the management Of the hotel, holding
them in check.
At the steamship pier in Hoboken
the departing ambassador regretted
his inability to comment upon the Dip
lomatic or political situations, or the
war.
"You may say, however" he said,
chat | leave this country with regret.

come acquainted with the natural won

with the East, and | would like TO have

To a Tribune reporter DR.. Dumba
said his plans for the future were UNI
decided. but that he wished TO retire
from public life and spend the rest of
his years on his estates near Vienna
and IN the Austrian Tyrol. Dr.. Dumba
IS ffty-nine years old and is possessed
of a large fortune. DR.. Dumba denied
again that he ever had personal in
terview with James +. Archibald. the
American correspondent who was in
tercepted by the British authorities on
his way TO Austria with DR.. Dumba's
letter 10 his government, in which he
outlined his plan to cripple the ammu-
milton industry here.
Nine. Dumba, the beautiful young
wife OF the retiring diplomat, was pre-
coded TO the steamer by maid carry
ing canary bird in cage and an
English spaniel under her arm. Henry
de Hedri, one of the embassy attaches,
accompanied Nine. Dumba.
at is not my place TO make state
ments, but II ! must say something let
it be that am sorry 10 leave, and hope
