DR.. DunbQ
to Explain
AChUitieS
viii Tell U. S. Officials Why
American Was Bearer of Sc
cret Dispatches and Answer
Charges as to Interference
with War Materials

Lenox, Mass, Sept. 6.-Dr Constant
in Theodore Dumba, amba ssador from
AUSTRIA Hungary, left the summer en-
bassy here for Washington late today.
1t was understood that he would meet
Secretary of State Lansing tomorrow
afternoon to explain how James +.
Archibald, the American correspondent.
happened to be the bearer Of secret dis
patches to the imperial Austrian gov
eminent and also to explain what was
meant by the letter written by DR..
Dumba in New York on Aug. 20. to
Foreign Minister Burian in Vienna,
suggesting that embarrassment could
be caused the munition plants through
the calling out of men Of Austrian
Hungarian citizenship. DR.. Dumba was
ont at all put about.
To newspaper correspondents he ad-
n7ltted writing the letter and said in a
iocose way: Il can't understand how
Archibald could have been so stupid
He attaches very little importance to
the report cabled from London, and
seeks the interview with Secretary OF
State Lansing for the purpose of pre-
venting any garbled copy of his letter
which Archibald carried being cabled to
the state department. The dispatch
which Archibald carried were delivered
to him in New York al a dinner at which
Count Bernstorff, Dr. Dunba and Archi-
bald were present. 1t looked to the am
bassadors as a good means of communi-
eating bulky dispatches to their govern
ments and full copies of everything
which Archibald carried are in the hands
of German and Austrian ambassadors.

Germans Forging Way
to Control Of the Gulf
OF Riga and a Path to
the Capital Of Russia
Teuons Have Firm Hold Bridge Head at Friedrchstadt
and German Aircra # Are Observing
Gulf Oppo rtunities

London. Sept. 6, 1880 P. M.-The
menace to Riga, an important Russian
seaport in the Baltic, is becoming
more serious. The Germans still hold
the bridge head at Friedrichstadt, the
occupation of which effectively cuts
off Riga's railway communication to
the south while German aircraft are
active in the gulf, perhaps presaging
another naval clash as part Of a con-
certed German move from land and
sea to complete the isolation of the
city and force its abandonment by the
Russians.

FIND BODY OF BOY
DROWNED TUESDAY

Brunswick. Sept. 6.-The body OF
Frederick S. Chase, the 1l-year-oid son
of Mrs. Flora Chase. who was drowned
in the Androscoggin Tuesday when he
fell from a skiff in which he was play
ing. was found Sunday afternoon by
Cy Collins. who has been dragging the
river continuously ever since the &C
cident. The body was lying in about
two and half feet Of water quite near
the scene Of the fatality. The river
at this point is full Of snags and that
fact made it harder for Mr. Collins to
drag the bed. DR.. Frank N. Whittier,
medical examiner, viewed the body and
declared an inquest unnecessary, as
the death was due to accident.

RANGERS FOR THE
BORDER TROUBLE

Brownsville, Texas, Sept Cool E.
P. Nafarette. commander Of the Car
rama forces along this section Of the
border, in a statement issued tonight
said if he had to deal only with the
American military authorities, the
Carranza and United States troops
could work in harmony. but that if
the Texas Rangers continued to work
along the river fronts they would be
causing trouble all the time.
Gen. Nafarrate declared he desired
to cooperate with the American COM
manders to prevent further troubles.
Asked why he believed Rangers might
cause trouble, Gen. Nafarrate said he
was disquieted by their presence be-
cause they were not careful enough to
designate at whom they were shoot
ing.
