Washington. Sept. 9.-Tho United States has asked for tho recall of pr. Constantin Theodore Dumba, Aus trian ambassador to this country.
 Secretary of state Lansing tonight gave cut the following statement:
 ''The d partment has instructed Ambassador Penfield at Vienna to de- liver to the minister fer foreign ar- fairs the following note:
 "'Mr Constantin Dun ba, the Aus troI Hungarian ambass dor at Wash ingion, has admitted that he proposed to his govarnment plans 10 instigate sNrikos in Ann rican manufacturing plants engaged in the production or munitions of war. The information reachel this governr ent through copy of a letter of the amba ssador to his government The bearer was an American citZen named Archibald, who was travelling under an Amer ican passport The ambassador has admitted that he employed Archibald to bear official dispatches from, him to his government.
 ''' By reason of the admitted pur- pose and intent of MT. Dumba, to c9nspire to cripple legitimate indus.- tries Of the people of the United States. and to interrupt their legiti- { mate trade, and by reason of the flag rant violation of diplomatic propriety in employing an. American citizen protected by an An erican passport as 9 secret bearer of official dispatches | through tho lines of the enemy of Austria-Hungarv the president di- | rects me 10 inform your excellency that MT. Dumba is no longer accep.- 1 able 10 thc government of the United States as the ambassador of his im- peria majesty at washington.
 Believing that the imperial and royal government will realize that in government of the United States has no alternative hut to request the recall CT MT. Dumba on account of his improper conduct. the government of the United States expresses it's 'deen rsgrst that this course has be- come necessary, and assures the im- rerial and royal government that 1t sincerely desires to continue the cor dial ard friendly relations which ex ist between inc United States and l Austria Hungary, German Attache to Go. 3ese
 The belief is strong that this government will take a similar step in the case of Capt. von Papen. the German military atache in this country. The letter written by Df. ] Dumba to his government. which was found among the effects of James j.. Archibald. when he was arrested by the English polic2, indicated that Cabtain von Papen was equally inter ested in the scheme 10 cause strikes in American plants.
 On this point, pr. Dumba's letter said:
 'It is my impression that we can disorganize and hold up for months, if not entirely prevent, the manufac- ture of munitions in bethlehem and the Middle West, which, in the Opln- ion of the Gernan military attache, IS Of great importance and amply out weighs the expenditur of money in volved."
 There is no evidence. however, to shcw that Count von Bernstorf. the German ambassador, to whom Cap> tain von Papen is responsible. had any mart in the proceedings. For this reason. it is, not believed he will be affected.
 The decision of the president to ask for the recall ofsDr. Dumba came as the result of the conference Tues day between Dr. Dwnba and Secre- J tarv Lansing. The conference was held at the request of pr. Dumpa; who desired tc, submit his version or tho incident to this government.
