GERMANY WAITS
FOR REPORT ON
THE NEBRASKAN

Berlin, May % (yia London, ll;40
D m. )-The foreign office and the
admiralty are still without news con-
cerning the reported torpedoing of the
American steamship Nebraskan and
deprecate all discussion of possible
effect on German-American negotla-
tions pending an authoritative confir-
nation of an attack on the ship. Ger
man newspapers have printed nothing
about the Nebraskan incident since
the first Rotterdam dispatches Fe-
porting that the ship had been torpe-
doed. and that she was still afloat
with the crew safe in her life boats.
The torpedoing of the steamer Gull
flight is now established as due to a
German submarine, the report of the
commander of the submarine In ques-
tion having been received by the ad-
miralty The commander stated that
when he first saw the Gulflight she
was being conveyed by two patrol
boats and he concluded that she must
be a British vessel or was carrying
contraband. The presence OF the pa
troll boats, the commander reported
made closer investigation dangerous.
The main points of the German. re-
ply TO the American note on the SINK
ing of the Lusitania probably are
known to the administration in wash
ington now so the note itself, which
it is expected will be delivered tomor-
row, will not come as an absolute
surprise. The American ambassador
has had daily conferences at the for
eign office, where terms of the Ger
man answer were discussed. Admiral
Behncke, acting chief of the admiralty
staff, called at the American embassy
to explain certain technical details OF
Germany's position relating to sub
marine warfare.

THE DUMBA AFFAIR
LOOMS Up DARKER
EnvOy'S Statement Involving
Austrian Government Lends
Graver Aspect.
MINISTER AWAITS EVENTS.
Understood He Means to Go Ahead
without Regard to Americas
Attitude

Washington, Sept. S.-Dr. Con-
stantin Dumba, the Austro-Hungar-
ian ambassad dor, returned late today
to the summer embassy at Lennox,
Mass, to await word from Secretary
Lansing as to whether the United
States is satisfied with his explana-
tion of his intercepted letter to
Vienna outlining plans for with-
drawing Austro-Hungarian labor ana
aandicapping American plants man
ufacturing war supplies.
The ambassadors statement to
Mr.. Lansing yesterday that he was
| acting under instructions from his
government apparently has made the
affair more serious than a mere ques-
ton Of ethics or propriety involving
only DR.. Dumba himself. Silence on
the subject was observed again today
at the White House, and state depart
ment. The President, carrying the
cabled copy of the ambassadors let
ter. walked over to the department
I during the morning. surprised Secre-
tary Lansing in his office, and spent
fifteen minutes discussing the situa-
ton. 1t was the first time a Presf-
: dent had done such a thing since
Spanish war days.
Before leaving Washington, Am
bassador Dumba called at the depart
ment of labor to seek cooperation in
: his program for providing new en-
ployment for workmen expected to
walk out of the munitions plants.
Sechetary Wilson was not in his
Office. but he talked with Acting Sec
retary Densmore. 1t is no secret in
; official circles that the administration
would not countenance any sort of
participation in a movement.
; 1t is understood the ambassador
u proposes to go ahead with his plans
without regard to the attitude of the
% American government.
10 At the embassy today ii was en-
= phasized that the only step so far
ordered in the instructions from
Vienna was the issuance OF procla
nation calling on all Austro-Hun
garian subjects to obey the decree o
their government against aiding IL
the manufacture of war munition
!" for the enemy.
4 decree similar TO this one wa
g. issued some time ago by Germany
,ir though it attracted little comment
ge 1t is stated that soon after the de
ed cree was proclaimed most of the Ger
tn mans employed in munitions plants
es chiefly in executive or scientific dc
n partments, quickly sought other pos
,e- tions without waiting for urgin
OF through diplomatic agencies.
