BY ellison Gardner

The business of handing his
passports to a no longer accept
able foreign ambassador follows
perfectly regular precedents and
form.
In the case of Dumba, Vienna,
having been notified through
American Ambassador Penfield
that Dumba is non grata, the nex.
move is by the Austrian govern
ment.
II Austria should choose to be
very much displeased, that gov
eminent might refuse to recall
Dumba, making it necessary for
our state department to hand
Dumba his passports as a sign oi
dismissal.
This would be followed by a
similar handing of passports to
American Ambassador Penfield
and the result would be breach
of diplomatic relations.
The ordinary course, how
ever, and the one which un-
questionably will be followed
In this case Is for Vienna to
notify our state department,
either through Penfield or
their embassy here, that
Dumba has been recalled and
ut the same time they will
designate some member Of
the embassy staff to act as
q charge .d'affaires in his
place, as, for instance, the
present counselor, Baron
Erich Zwiedinek.
The state department, there
upon, will move to provide Dunn
ba with a safe conduct, applying
for the same to the British aud
French ambassadors here. These
papers, with a passport, signed
by Secretary of State Lansing,
made out by the regular passport
bureau, will be sent by a special
messenger and delivered In per-
son to Mr.. Dumba, wherever he
happens to be.
On receipt of these, DIR. Dumba
becomes a private citizen of for
eign birth. He may stay in the
United States indefinitely, or he
may go home, as he chooses. lie
is just like any Austrian citizen,
and SO long as he behaves him
self, nobody will interfere with
him.
In his case undoubtedly he
would be watched TO prevent
his carrying out his ANNOUNCE
ed plan to foment strikes;
and probably he will choose
to go home and be assigned
to some other diplomatic
post.

I. Trades Drink For Secret;
Society Girl Tells Of It

A society girl who served as a
Red Cross nurse in the thick of
the fighting in France has re-
turned to this country and writ
ten a book about her expert
ences--one of the most simple
and yet touching and convincing
documents the war has produced.
This girl is Adele Bleneau-Or
rather that Is the name she
chooses to use for the public. An
American girl, the daughter of a
physician of French descent, she
was among the first women to
volunteer for service in France
and because of skill acquired in
her fathers office she was in
stantly accepted. While at the
front she fell in love with an
English officer whom she nursed
after he had been desperately
wounded in battle. Today she is
married to him and is now in the
neighborhood of New York city
awaiting the birth of a child.

POLICE WORKING ON
STABB|NG MYSTERY
Andrew Sabo, Sr., Found With
Serious Wound in Back-No
Trace of Criminal.

The police began work in another
sta bbing mystery yesterday when it
had been reported that Andrew Sabo,
Sr., had been attacked mysteriously
and wounded so badly that seven
stitches had to be taken in his back.

are at loss to know who committed
the crime The police appeared baf-
fed to about the same degree and
have no trace of the criminal. Two
men who were accompanying the vic
tim at the time of the crime Satur-
day failed to halt the assailant and
they are equally as much in the dark
as is Sabo, according to the best in
formation in the hands of the police.
The stabbing was done as Sabo in
company with others was walking
along Grove street, his son informed
Patrolman Kozusko yesterday morn
ing. He told the officer that his
father was passing Tenegris's bot
thing establishment in Grove street,
when the attack was made from the
rear. DIR. M. s. Meinzer was sum-
moned to dress the mans injuries,
which consisted of deep stab wounds
in the back.
Sergeants Huff and Long made de-
tailed investigation of the alleged
crime They were unable to find any
clues to the Identity of the alleged
assailant.

Theatre of War, Paris Says.
Special By United Press Wire.


Paris, Sept. IA: - Two million
shells have been hurled across the
Franco-Flanders battlefront in the
greatest artillery battle the world
ever knew, according to estimate
today.
The rain of shells continues with
no Indication of cessation. Sunday,
the fifteenth day of the long drawn
cut bombardment, the action was of
extreme violence on nearly every
section of the battlefront. An Of
fetal statement supplementary of the
daily communiques was giVeA1lApt

bonn bardment
.s0ur methodical cannonade aimed
at harassing the enemy, impeding his
formation, destroying his earthworks
and generally wearing down his de-
fensiVe ability at all times, has been
fruitful, especially in the Artoix re-
gion," the statement said. In this
region German works have been seri-
ously damaged. Infantry action has
taken place during the week, princi-
pally in the Vosges and the Argonne.
In the latter region French positions
were maintained despite German at
tacks by liquid fire, by which mo-
mentary gains were made.
During the past week allied avi-
ators have dropped bombs on mill
tary establishments at Fribourg,
Brisgau and Frascati and on the
railway stations at Saarburg, Sab

PETER NELSON FASTENS
SELF SECURELY IN CELL

For a time Friday it appeared as
though Peter Nelson, thirty
years old, of 531 Smith street, would
have to serve an unauthorized and in
definite term in jail here. He was
locked up in the padded cell compart-
ment of the station. The police de-
clare that he tampered with the lock
from the inside, breaking it in such
way that it could not be unlocked
and he could not be extricated until
the lock had been jimmied from the
iron door
Nelson, who is often a prisoner
here after he has become violent as
the result of excessive drinking, was
arraigned before Recorder Pickers-
gill yesterday. Rasmus Nelson, the
mans father, was the complaining
witness, who charged his son with
being disorderly. The accused man
was sent to the county Jail for three
months

HEALTH BAD, MAN
KILLS HIMSELF
John Sedlak Presses Revolver
Close Against His Throat
and Fires Fatal Shot.

Despondent because of failing
health and other reverses, John
Sedlak, fifty-fve years old, of 335
Keene street, shot himself to death
late last night or early this morn
ing. He pressed the muzZle of a
thirty-eight calibre revolver close
against his throat, we'll under the
chin and fired once, according to the
findings of Coroner Eugene ]. Null
len. The bullet travelled almost the
entire length of his head and the
powder burned hole about the size
of a silver dollar in the mans
throat. Death is believed to have
been almost instantaneous.
Sedlak was the head of a family
of FIVE children and wife. Investi-
cation among these relatives today
showed that he had been brooding
of late over ill health and failure to
work as a result. 1t appears that he
stole from his bed some time during
the night or early morning, went to
the kitchen and opened a trap door
and descended into the cellar. He
committed the deed directly at the
foot of the steps and his body was
discovered there by his wife about 4
o'clock this morning. No one has
been found who heard the shot.
1t was shortly before clock that
Mrs. Sedlak missed her husband. She
waited for few minutes and then be-
gan search for him. To her surprise
and horror, as she held a lamp in one
hand and lifted the cellar door with
the other, she saw his body lying in
a pool of blood at the foot of the steps.
DIR. Seigel was notified. Finding the
man dead, he notified Coroner Mullen.
The case was carefully investigated
by the coroner and by Detective Ser
geants Huff and Long. No evidence of
any foul play was noted and the Off
eials generally declared that it was a
plain case of suicide, The officials ex-
amined the revolver used. 1t had one
chamber entirely empty and there was
one exploded cartridge and loaded
cartridges in the others.

Washington, Sept. 1S:-President

visitors from Manassas that the seri-
business of the international situa-
ton makes it impossible for him to
consider any speaking dates.

BILE to predict any possible course Of

said.
II feel very much attracted by

traordinary circumstances of these

No confirmation of this could be

have the Swedish army help Ger
many. This party includes the fnan-
cial interests but is in the minority
numerically.
The progressive party, which out
voted the reactionary party 2 to
in the last election is anti-German
and anti-war.
The war party in Sweden is trying
to create popular sentiment against
Russia, reminding the Swedes that
Russia took Finland from Sweden.
The nlijitarists of Sweden are of
the German school; the Swedish ar
my is trained on German lines The
sympathies of many Swedish mill
tarists are with Germany.
The chief outstanding faci is that
Sweden's democracy is being Sc
verely tested on the war question. II
this democracy succeeds Sweden will
not enter the war.
