Austro-Hungarian embassy declare
there is little room for doubt that DR.
Dumba will be Immediately recalled
upon receipt Of Secretary Lansing's re-
quest Baron Won Zwiedenek, coun-
sellor, probably will be made charge
d'affaires to remain as head Of the EN-
bassy until the end Of the war While
ordinarily, it was explained, the failure
to send a successor to an ambassador
would indicate the displeasure of his
government over the request for his
recall, the difficulties which would at
tend the coming of a new ambassador
made a distinct difference in this case,
1t is understood that Ambassador
Dumba will not be handed his pass
ports. but will be permitted to follow
his own course and await word from
Vienna. If he should desire to return
home it will be necessary for the Amer
lean government to secure a safe con-
duct for him from the allies.

the request of the government for the
recall of DR.. Constantin L. Dumba. Aus.
tro-Hungarian ambassador, was taken
TO the summer embassy here tonight it
was said that DR.. Dumba was not there.
HIS secretary Baron Stephen Hedry De
Hedr. said he believed the ambassador
was IN New York. He thought that DR..
Dumna might return to Lenox tomor-
row. but added that he had no definite
Information of his intended movements.
oincials Of the embassy were inclined to
doubt the accuracy of the Washington
dispatches conveying the news.
1T cannot be believed" one Of them
said, adding that a day or two would
prove the unreliability of the report In
formation that the announcement of the
recall request was given out by Secre-
tary Of State Lansing was also received
with apparent incredulity.

The Germans in their Zeppelin attacks

Whether or not extensive damage was

it is apparent that London was deeply
stirred by the attack. 1t may be in
ferred that the bombardment was so Sc
rious as to arouse fears on the part of
Americans in London that their friends
in this country would be alarmed for
their safety. The censor passed a dis
patch stating that there were no Ameri-
cans among the dead or wounded accord

bassy and the American consulate. A

PRESIDENT OF
BRAZIL SENATE
IS ASSASS|NATED

Rio Janeiro, Sept. 9.-The assassination
yesterday of Senator Pnheiro Machado
has caused profound sensation through
out Brazil. The Spaniard charged with
the murder has confessed, the authori-
ties assert, that he had no accomplices
and that he killed Senator Machado be-
cause he blamed the politician for mis-
fortunes which had befallen his family.
Pinheiro Machado frequently was re-
ferred to as the political BOSS" of Bra
zil He was president Of the Senate and
leader of the Conservatives. He had be-
come unpopular of late because he cham
pioned the cause of former President
Fonseca. who recently was elected to the
Senate.
Machado. who was reputed to be i'm
mensely wealthy, was credited with
playing an important part in bringing
about the election OF President Braz. 1t
was said he forced the proclamation of
martial law in Rio Janeiro early in 1914
as a piece of political strategy.

NEUTRAL DUTIES
SEEN BY PRES.
OF SWITZERLAND

Paris, Sept. $3.50 A. M.).-Neutral
nations are justified in protesting against
war because they are its victims, in the
opinion of DR.. Giuseppe Motta, president
of Switzerland, who expressed his views
in a conversation with Etienne Lamy,
the French academician, published today
in the Petit Parisien.
Past wars" President Motta is quoted
as saying. affected only belligerents, but
nowadays, owing to growth, the change
In ideas, habits and wealth. there is a
community among peoples. The rupture
Of this community by war between GER
tain states affects all the rest.
Passiveness Improper
1.-The will of neutrals is less respected
in this time of war. 1t is not them suf-
ficient that they await the end of the
conflict. For them passiveness has ceas-
ed to be a duty and energy has become
the proper policy. They have right 70
raise their voices against war, because
they are it's victims. 1t is legitimate for
them to unite their influences because
they are injured in common, but the
hour has not come for that effort. Words,
like spent bullets. would glance off the
arnlor of belligerents without penetrat-
ing it, but armor finally becomes heavy
even for the strongest arms.
Switzerland Will Act
1.-THE first sign of that fatigue will not
find Switzerland inattentive or hesitant.
She will act in accord with other neutral
governments. convinced as she is that
the cause of peace is the cause of all.
Necessary peace is not one which will be
glorious for all. but equitable justice
alone is lasting in effects

ESTIMATE RECEIPTS
OF FAIR AT S17,5OO

State Fair Treasurer Callahan was
able at 3 P. NJ Thursday to see ap-
proximately what the receipts for 1915
would be.
Il should say" said he, that they
would be approximately s17.50o. They
may go to $4,000. they may drop or
a little from what l have said"
This is a little better than the re-
suits of 1914, when the total receipts
were s16.621.77.
Possibly it will overrun this by
$1,000.
The expenses of the fair for 1915
are about as usual.
On this basis the fair will be able
to pay all bills and something on its
obligations.

no declarations Of war followed, not only
on account of the position in which "

but because of its effect upon the part
the United States is playing as diplomat
&c representative of Austria Hungary and
other belligerents of Europe.
Only Immediate Step
News that DR.. Dumba's recall had
been requested created a sensation in
the capital. 1t had been known in Off
cial and diplomatic circles that Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing re-
garded the conduct of the ambassador
as grave breach Of propriety. but
there had been a well-defined impress
sion that the only immediate step
would be the cancellation, announced
today, Of the passport Of Archibald, the
American, who carried the Intercepted
dispatches.
Dr. Dumba left yesterday supposed
~ for the summer embassy at Lenox,
Mass, to await word as to whether the
administration was satisfied with the
explanation he made to Mr.. Lansing
Tuesday. He had come to Washington
on his own initiative after news Of
Archibald's detention and extracts Of
his dispatches to Vienna had been
published in this country.
No statement was made either by the
ambassador or Secretary Lansing con-
corning their conference, though it was
learned later that DR.. Dumba frankly
admitted having employed Archibald as
messenger and his plans for with
drawing Austro-Hungarian labor and
handicapping American plants making
war munitions for the Allies.
It was stated at theembassy that the
ambassador had been instructed by the
foreign Office to give the widest publicity
possible to decree against the aiding
by Austro-Hungarians in the manufac-
ture Of munitions for the enemies Of
their country. and that this was the only
step contemplated in orders so far re-
cetved. The plans proposed for embar-
