London. Sept. 10.-The Russian vic
tory at Tarnopol, Eastern Galicia, has
been followed by another effective
blow at the Austrians at Trembowla,
twenty miles farther south. In the
combined actions more than $4,000
prisoners have been taken. according
to Petrograd's reports. AS was the
case at Tarnopol the Russians were
unable to follow up the advantages ow-
ing to their inferiorty in artillery, and
the Austrians We're not pushed beyond
the line of the river Sereth.
Basing it's judgment on reports that
the Germans are fortifying themselves
in the vicinity of wilma, together with
the trend OF events on the southern
wing of the eastern front and the
slow progress Of the Teutonic center,
the British feeling is that cessation OF
the Austro- German offensive in the
east may be at hand. Such may dispel
chance OF victory for the Germans
French and German claims are so
contradictory that it is impossible at
this time to obtain a clear view OF
the situation in the ArSonne. The
French are attempting to recover lost
ground which the Germans assert in
cludes the fortified position at Marie
Therese. 1t Is likely that this region
will witness some OF the bitterest fight

days.

Wilson Note Charges
Ambassador D,ln1ba
With Inpropr;ety

Washington. Sep:. 10.-The note
requesting the recall OF Ambassa-
dor Dumba is as follows:
MIR. Constantin Dumba, the
Austro- Hungarian ambassador at
Washington, has admitted that he
proposed to his government plans
to instigate strikes In American
manufacturing plants engaged in
the production of munitions OF war.
The information reached this gov
ernment thru u copy of letter Of
tie ambassador to his government.
The bearer was an American citi-
zen named Archibald, who was
travelling under an American pass
port. The ambassador has admit
ted that he employed Archibald to
bear dispatches from him to his
government.
BY reason of the admitted pur-
pose and intent of Mr.. Dumba to
conspire to cripple legitimate in
dustries of the people of the
United States and to interrupt
their legitimate trade, and by rea-
son of the fragrant violation of dip
lomatic propriety In employing an
American citizen protected by an
American passport as u secret
bearer, of official dispatches thru
the lines of the enemy Of Austria
Hungary. the president directs me
to inform your eXceItency that Mr..
Dumba is no longer acceptable to
the government of the United
States as the ambassador of his i'm
perial majesty at Washington.
Believing that the imperial and
royal government win realize that
the government of the United
States has no alternative but to
request the recall of Mr.. Dumba.
on account of his improper conduct,
the government of The United
States expresses it's deep regret
that this course has become nee
essary, and assures the imperial
and royal government that it sin
cerely desires to continue the cor
dial and friendly relations which
exist between the United States
and Austria Hungary"

"Thc Nicosian did not sink. probably
because she had in her hold cargo OF

CARRANZA WILL
REJECT PEACE PLAN
Willing TO Agree to Any international
Aspects Of Mexican Situation, But
Declines TO Enter Conference to
Settle Internal Affairs.

rama, in his reply to the Pan-Ameri-
can conference. 1t was learned hero to-
day, will agree to any international
aspects of the Mexican situation, but
VIII decline to enter IL conference on
internal affairs.
Carranza's answer, expected today
or tomorrow, Is said to decline the
offer to arrange conference OF the
Mexican factions to choose n provis-
ionai government.
Carranza's main contention, 1t Is
said, is that his terces are In practi-
cal control OF the country and to
enter into such conference would
have no beneficial effect.
General Carranza will declare. how
ever, that he does not wish to ignore
the friendly interest OF the United
States. Argentina, Brazil. Chile
Bolivia. Uruguay and Guatemala. and
for that reason will say that IL there
are any international aspects which
can properly be considered with rep
resentatives Of the Pan American gov
crtIE,nnts. he will appoint representa-
tives to meet them.
There are international questions
that need consideration ana adjust
mcnt. One Is whether Carranxa Is IL
a position to AFFORD adequate protec-
ton 10 sise and property and another
concerns Of payment OF claims o!
foreigners growing out OF revolution.
Last year Carranza declined media
tion Of internal affairs OF Mexico but
offered to consider international ques-
tions. His proposal was rejected OF
the ground that he could not be per
mitted to limit the scope OF mediation

Washington, Sept. 10.-President
Wilson devoted several hours today to

that the German explanation is dis
appointing.
Count Won Bernstorff had assured
Secretary Lansing that full satisfac-

the Arabic.
Germany's statement that she could
not acknowledge any obligation to

1t is understood that the United

submit to The Hague the question of
determining the amount Of indemnity
which should be paid. An answer to
