CHICAGO, September 11.-Ambassa-
dors Dumba of Austria and Won Bern
storff of Germany are mentioned in a
suit for $4,000 filed today by the Polish
Peoples Publishing Company against
the Polish National Alliance of the
United States Of America.
1t was charged that the alliance,
through the publication controlled by
it," printed a statement that Dzlen-
mix Ludowy, the plaintiffs paper, had
been receiving contributions from va
rious foreign diplomats, given in order
to influence the papers attitude on the
European war.
The declaration sets forth that the
rival paper. under the heading "Red
Rank" referring to the society which
supports the plaintiffs paper, publish
ed statement to the effect that va
rious contributions had been given for
their support by the following:
Alleged Contributors.
"Dr. Dumba. $500; Bernstorff. $3.50;
Geissler of Chicago. 800; Reinicke of
Boston, 800; Richter of Tacoma, $50;

efforts to maintain neutrality in the
European war, and charges that the

Gen. Villas agents here had no

Villa had executed Urbina. whom
he charged with desertiOn. The

many Mexfcans here to believe 1T

had executed Gen. Urbina for nm

Urbina refused orders to report

Berlin THINKS US.

Germans Regard Hesoerian
Case Chiefly Concerning
Teutons and British.

BERLIN, September II, via London,
September 1.-THE German foreign
Office and the admiralty stated today
that they had no news regarding the
Hesperian incident. concerning which
Ambassador Gerard asked information
recently. The question of whether
Americans lost their lives when. the
Hesperian was blown up will probably
have a bearing on the ultimate answer
to washington, it is said.
Since the steamer was a British YES
sci, bound from a British to a Canadian
port, the Germans are inclined to hold
that the question on its merits is one
concerning chiefly Great Britain and
Germany, and that American interests
can be based only on actual damage to
Americans. This attitude is as yet
largely academic for Germany thus
far has nothing to indicate that the
ship was not destroyed by mine in
stead of a submarine. it is stated.
In view of the reiterated and
strengthened instructions issued to
submarine commanders there is little
inclination here to accept the assump-
tion that the ship was torpedoed
