Washington, Sept. 1O.-The

News of Austria-Hungary's S
reception of the American note
requesting the recall of Ambas-

ed, here today in government and
diplomatic circles.

The recall of the envoy was asked
for in a communication from Secretary
Lansing. which Ambassador Penfietd
at Vienna was to deliver imme diately

bassador Penfield, it was believed.
could have effected delivery of the
note by today. When a response would
be reached and the form it woulh
take was a matter of speculation. 1t
was suggested in some quarters that
it would not be necessary for Austria
Hungary to make a formal reply, but
it was assumed that under the circum-
stances an official responsibilities
definite action-would be forthcom-
ing.
Diplomats in touch with the Vienna
embassy here thought today there was
little doubt that DR.. Dumba immedi-
ately would be recalled. 1t was sug
geSted that Baron Won Zwiedinek,
counsellor of the embassy, would be
made charge d'afaires to remain un-
til the close of the war.
Friendly Relations Endangered.
In ordinary times the failure of
government to send a successor to an
ambassador who had been recalled
would indicate its displeasure over the
request. In this case. however, il
was pointed out that difficulties over
sending a new envoy made a distinct
difference.
Despite belief expressed in some cir
cIes that Vienna would not hesitate
to comply with Secretary Lansings
request, it was admitted that a situa-
tion might arise which would have a
serious effect on the relations between

Topeka's municipal electric lighting
plant, for which Frank NewIand, city
commissioner of water and lighting
asked $12,5OO, to be used in making
improvements, the request for which
was denied by Mayor House and Com.
missioners Tandy and Wasson, in max
ing up the last city budget, is today
out of commission, and tonight and
for several nights to come the streets
of the city will be lighted with cur

at $120 per night
Last night the discovery was made
that one of the large castings of the
big engine was breaking. The casting
weighs approximately two TONS A
crack twenty-five inches long was
found. The purpose of this piece of
the engine is to hold the big piston
arm in the slots in which it works.
Should the casting give way while the
engine is working. in the opinion of
Mr.. Newland, practically the entire
plant would be wrecked
"It came sooner than we expected
and in a different place." said Mr..
Newland, speaking of the break Mr.
to be frequent. owing to the heavy
load carried and the failure of the
city to provide funds for improve
ments. He had planned to shut down
for two weeks or more after fair
week and take current from the Edi-
son company while the cylinders of
the big engine were being rebored and
down came before they were prepared
to make these repairs.
Mr.. Newland hopes that the plant
will be in operation within two days.

Washington. Sept 10.-A new crisis
in Americas relations with two allied
powers, Austria and Germany, was
reached today.
The issues upon which the United
States future course in worlds politics
hung were:
First-The demand upon Aus
tria for Ambassador Dumba's re-
Second-Germany's unsatisfac-
tory and disappointing note on the
Arabic incident.
Officials admitted that the two dis
putes were linked. Germany is in
vclved in circumstances leading to the
Dumba situation. Austrian support of
Germany in any diplomatic disagree
ment over the Arabic case is taken for
granted.
Penfieid May Come Home.
An open break with Austria and re-
tirement CT Ambassador Penfield
from Vienna was deemed possible If
Austria supports Dumba's scheme of
q general strike of Austro- Hungarian
subjects in American war supply
plants.
Germany's pointblank refusal to as
sumo responsibilities for Americans lost
on the Arabic, coupled with a qualified
offer to submit the matter of financial
reparatiOn to arbitration at The Hague
was recognized as presenting a new
obstacle in the way of settlement of
the dispute concerning submarine war
fare.
BernstOrffS Promise CnfulfilIed.
President Wilson devoted several
hours today to the study of Germanys
note on the sinking of the Arabic. No
official comment was MADE, but it was
indicated plainly that the German ex-
PLANTATION is unsatisfactory.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, had assured Secretary
Lansing that full satisfaction would
be given, if it was determined that a
German submarine sank the Arabic.
Germany's statement that she could
not acknowledge any obligation to
grant indemnity is not considered full
satisfaction by the officials of the gov
ernment. 1t is understood the United
States government would be willing to
submit to The Hague the question of
how much indemnity should be paid,
but it is improbable that it will con-
sent to arbitrate the principle in
volved-
