Best in the Washing

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-"He IL the
shrewdest, ablest Ambassador in Wash

This was the judgment OF Or. Dumha
given by one of his colleagues just be-
fore the British authorities seized James
+. J. Archibald. the bearer Of the Am
bsssador's plan to provoke strikes in
American munitions factories.
The same diplomat said tonight

Or. Dumba has been one OF the closest
advisers Of Count Won Bernstorff. the
German Ambassador. lie is credited
with having had a happy knack OF know
ing Just how far Germany could go with
out actually inviting hostile action by
the United states,
Perhaps the keynote to DIR. Dumha's
character is furnished by a remark he
made to "A friend when he came to

trusted to Archibald,

DR.. Dumba realizes that his choice OF
a messenger was a mistake. He be-
lieved that Archibald would confide his
dispatches to an attendant or conceal
them somehow until Dutch territory
was reached.
DR., pumba is witty and ingratiating
and has made many friends during his
two years stay In Washington. Soon
after his arrival he attended "A dinner OF
the Gridlron Club and made an effective
speech, devoted wholly to the friendly
relations between the United states and
Austria Hungary.
Nine. DumDa was In Austria when the

Or, Dumba was discovered too soon TO
permit of his doing any vast amount of
havoc, but there is no doubt what might
have happened had he been allowed To
continue his rabid and dangerous propa-
ganda in this country.
The summary action taken in this case
should prove Il salutary warning to other
foreign representatives who have been

shrewd enough to prevent a fun en-
posure OF their acts. There are members
of the German Embassy whose conduct
