COUNT BERNSTORFF
ALSO is INVOLVED


XKJ NSHINGTON. Sept. 1O.-Presi-
w dent Wilson's request for the
recall of the Austrian ambassador,
DR.. COnstantin ThCOdOr Dumba, has
brOadCncd into II situation involving
Capt. Franz Won Papin, the mi itary
nttachc of the German embassy; Al
cNandCr Nubcr Won PCrCkCd, the AUS
trian consul general in New York, and
uOseibN Count Won BcrnStOrll, the
GCruIan ambassador. Tho official
view i that the ambassador although
technically involved, is not 50 seriously
concerned as the military attuchc or
the consul general. II Is not unlikely
that both of the latter may be recalled
or dismissed from the country
Coupled with GCImnny'~ diSappOint-
ING and unsatisfactory explanation OF
the sinking of the White Star liner
Arabic after Count Won BCrnstorit luu
given assurances that full satisfaction
would he given if il was established
that IA German submarine sunk the
ship, official Washington views the
friendly relations with the GCrmanlC
powers strained more toward the
breaking point than ever before.
Hopes tAat the submarine crisis had
been safely passed and that "A break
between Germany and the United
States had been avoided were dis
placed today by miSGiNings. Talk OF
the possibility of breaking diplomatic
relations was heard again although
this time it involved both the central
powCrs, on the theory that Austria
after having her ambassador practic-
ally dismissed from the country might
stand with her ally in relations with
the United States.
Unofficial reports that second note
had been started f.Om the Berlin for
Cgn office for Washington furnished
about the only basis of optimism in Of
fiCial quarters 80 far as the submarine
controversy was concerned. There was
no official intimatiOn that another
communication was on the way but
the American reply TO the note on the
Arabic will be delayed until officials
can learn whether to expect anything
additional from Berlin. II may bc
stated. however, that if nothing comes
in the nature of modification of
GCFmanyS explanation, an American
note will reach Berlin probably early
next week which will set forth the
views of the United States in a brief
and unmistakablc manner.
Germanys declaration that while
she regrets the loss of Americans,
SIt recognizes no lldDlulN LOT III
demnity if even the submarine COM
mander was mistaken in believing the
Arabic was about to attack him, espe-
cially offering to arbitrate the prin-
Ciple Is regarded i'm official circles
as leaving the whole submarine Ques-
tiOn practically where it was left by
the Berlin governments unrespOnsive
attitude toward the Lusitania negotia-
tions and in remarkable cOntravention
of the favorable view which state de-
partmcnt officials had been led to
take by the statement of the German
ambassador
Wilson Disappointed.
The president spent most of today
going over the German note. No of
fiCial comment was made at the
White House or the state department,
but the disappointment Of officials
was und 'sguised.
The latest turn in the submarine
controversy almost overshadowed the
Dumba case.
Captain Won Papen is involved in
the Dumba case because he for
warded by James f.. j Archibald, the
American correspondent travelling
under American passport, a per-
sonal letter in which he made often
sive statements about American Of
ficials. Moreover. Ambassador Dum-
t''s letter to the Vienna foreign Of
..ce, found on Archibald, mentioned
Won Papen as having approved what
the state department in its note to
the Austro- Hungarian government,
characterized as a conspiracy TO Grip
pie the legitimate industries OF the
United States. Consul General Nuber
Is drawn into the case because the
Dumba letter disclosed that he was
connected with this strike plan.
Editor Is Involved.
High officials indicated today that
the government would take steps Of
some kind against the editor Of a
Hungarian newspaper in this country
from whom a memorandum was en-
closed in the Dumba letter outlining
carefully prepared plans for putting
into effect the scheme for handicap
ping munitions plants.
Count Won Bernstorff is involved
technically because Archibald carried
