 Thus far no report of any nature has been received from Dr. Dumba and Il is assumed here that because of the diff. culties of communication he will wait un- til he can make . report in person. Uptil such . report is available the government has no information concerning the affail further than what has appeared In thu newspapers 1t is stAted. and feeis com. pelled to exercise reticencs.

RECALL OF DUMBA CANNOT EFFECT GOOD RELATIONS OF
 AUSTRIA AND UNITED STATES

in the American note that the friendly and cordial relations may remain un- changed is shared to the fullest degree by the Austrian government.
 .'The American government undoubted- ly considered itself in good faith bound to request the ambassadors recall. Cases of recall of ambassadors often have oc- cured in peace times without any espe- cial importance being ascribed to them and the Dumba case should also be con- sidered from the same standpoiht.''
 The correspondent mentioned the fact that other officials in Austrian govern mental circles had intimated to him their feeling that pr. Dumba. in 70 far as he warned his countrymen against as- sisting in the making of munitions, did cnly his duty.
 '.That is certainly true, twas the an swer. Subjects of the dual Monarchy whu do such work make themselves guilty Of high treason and would beTsewere1y pun ished in case of their return. It wac, therefore, the ambassadors . duty to warn them.'' M ' E What says your excellency concerninR The employment, Of Archibd1d al . mes EeenRer?'' asked the correspopdsh6 aS1d Erscedved this reply;
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-22

If, as reported in the press. Arch- ibald was an old friend of Dr. Dumba, 1t was understandable that the arnbas- sador. in view of the great difficulties of communication, employed him without giving the matter a second thought"
 The correspondent asked how the Amer ican answer to the Austrian protest con- corning the export of munitions had been received. The reply was:
 Naturally there are wide differences between ours and the American stand points. The matter is still under consid- eration and it Is possible that the Amer lean note will be replied to.
 The correspondent learned that there was no lack of candidates already for appointment as ambassador to Washing ton. The press was not permitted to re. fer to the affair in any way until last Wednesday. when only the Neue Freie Presse published, with a short comment the American note and the letter written by Dr.. Dumba to Baron Burian, the Aus trian foreign minister. which was taker from James F. J. Archibald. The other papers published the news on the follow. ing day without a word of comment. Since then tbe affair has not been referred to.
 The friendly tone of the American note hss mads . most agreeable impression everywhere

Formal Announcement of Success of Transaction Now Expected Within Three or Four Days
MAY CONTINUE TO PAY ENGLISH GOLD
 FOR WAR SUPPLIES
Notes to Run for E;0 ears
 and May Be seendered
 at Maturi' Q SSSerman Fi- nanciers ledge Support

New York, September 31.-Borrow- CTS and lendexs of the vast sum sought in America by Great Britain and France tonight were said to be in vir- tual accord on all details of the pro possed loan except two. These, 1t was said. were not of prime importance. Formal proclamation of the success of negotiations Is expected within three or four days. perhaps sooner.
 A rough inventory of what was ac- complished today. 1t WAS said, read about as follows:
 Members of New York's pro-German banking houses will help float the loan.
 Munitions of war no longer enter into the topics discussed. While 1t cannot be guaranteed that they will be excluded from the loans operation. 1t tinue paying for them by shipments of gold and American securities.
 The size of the loan has been defi- niteIy agreed to, subject of course. to eleventh-hour revision. It will be less than ss00.00O.o0o. probably $7o0.- 100000 or thereabouts
 Notes to Run Five Years
 The notes issued for the loan will run five years. These notes will carry conversion privilege entitling the holders to surrender them at maturity, If desired, for joint Anglo French gov ernment bonds bearing AZ per cent o.,A rov.{x, no fnd nf years. redeemable, however, at the op- tton of Great Britain and France be- fore maturity.
 While agreement on, the foregoing dstafls was said to have been reached. with increasingly optimistic prospects that the two other details would soon be settled, the entire programme was regarded as tentative and subject to revision before the issuance of for nal statement.
 Members of at least two big finan- cial institutions regarded as pro-Ger- man in their sympathies were said to have pledged their support to the proj- ect and others were expected to fall in line. The firm was Kuhn. Loeb X Co.
 Other powerful financial interests, it was said also were willing to subscribe to the loan. This report was strength ened by the presence during the day of William Rockefeller and Henry c. Prick at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. Mir. Morgan has been devoting virtually his entire time recently to the negotiations. and 1t was announced that some of the Rockefeller and Prick millions would besirvested.
 There was considerable speculation as to the nature of the details of the proposed loan, said to remain unde- cided One, it was thought. was the size of the fee to be paid to the un- derwriters. The other was thought to relate to the participation of Russia.

DUMbA'S SUCCESSOR IS ANNOUNCED FROM CAPITAL 0F AUSTRIA
Former Ambassador tt Rome Comes to United States, Says Report
 From Vienna

Budapest, Hungary, September 21 (Via London)--A Vienna dispatch Is published here today saying it has been learden in diplomatic circles at the Austrian capital that the government will not await the arrival of Dr. Con- stantin T. Dumba before appointing his suc0es~ v TbA new amb assador, 1t u stated. will be named at once
 The dispatch says that Katjetar Merry von Kapas-Mere. former Austro- Hungarian ambassador at Rome, has been selected for this place, following a conference at Vienna.
 Kajetan Mercy von Kapos- Mere served as Austro-H Hungarian ambassa- dor at Rome from June of 1910 to Au- gust of last year. Tn March of this year he returned to Rome as representative of his government in the unsuccessful negotiations with Italy In regard tc territorial concessions by Austria the war.
 Washington, September 21.-No in. | trian foreign office as to the accepta- bility of Kajetan von Kapas-Mere as ambassador to the United States. IT fact. no inquiries have been made re- garding any prospective successor tt Dr. Dumha.
 Ambassador Penfeld's latest dis patches indicate the Austrian govern. ment has made no decision concern ing the recall of Dr. Dumba. Tho impression given in Mr. Pen. fields messages Is that the Austrian authorities are waiting to hear from Dr. Dumba, and it is considered pos sible that on account of the difficulties of wireless communication, he may. oi his own initiative, leave the United States on September 2S to make a re- port to his foreign office. and that his status will not be determined until after he has reached Vienna. Documents carried by James F reached the department to- day but were not made public
