L. s. Arms Orders Involved.
The full gravity of the ambassadors
offence was brought nearer TO home to-
night when il became known that am
munition plants at which DR.. Dumba
proposed 70 foment labor troubles hold
large orders from both the Navy ana
War departments Of the United States.
That President Wilson had made up
his mind TO take drastic action IN the
case Of Austro- Hungarian Ambassador
was told exclusively in The Tribune
this morning. The President has been
carefully watching public sentiment
throughout the country, ana whlle II
can be said with authority that he was
at first inclined to look on DR.. Dumbas
conduct as indiscreet, the indignation
and feeling that the Austro- Hungarian
Ambassadors acts aroused throughout
the country left him no alternative.
Both President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing believe that in asking for DR..
Dumba's recall they have fulfilled the
wishes of the American people.
DR.. Dumba is one of the most popu-
lar members of the diplomatic corps
here. Genial and Of a pleasing dlsposi-
ton. he and his wife were-much sought
In society before the war began. Even
since then the ambassador has been the
centre of large circle OF society peo-
pie here
Dumba on Way TO Lenox.
DR.. Dumba left yesterday for the
summer embassy ct Lenox, Mass, to
await word as to whether the admin
istratIon was satisfied with the ex-
planation 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 pub
lished in this country. No statement
was made either by the Ambassador or
Secretary Lansing concerning their
conference, though it was learned later
that Dr.. Dumba frankly admitted hav-
ing employed Archibald as a messenger
and his plans for withdrawing Austro-
Hungarian labor and handlcapping
American plants making war munitions
for the Allies.
II was stated at the embassy that
the Ambassador had been instructed by
the Foreign Office to give the widest
publicity possible TO a decree against
the aiding by ustro-Hungarians in
the manufacture Of munitions for
enemies of their country. and that
this was the only step contemplated
in orders so far received. The plans
proposed for embarrassing plants and
calling out laborers in bodies origii-
mated with the Ambassador, who wyas
said 10 be taking no action toward
putting his ideas into effect pending
further instructions from Vienna. The
choice of Archibald as a dispatch
bearer both for the German and Aus
tra-Hungarian governments, IT was de-
clared. was without orders or sanction
from abroad
Came to Aid Hungarians.
Constantin Theodor Dumba present
cd his credentials Immediately after
the Inauguration of President WILSON,
succeeding Baron Hengelmueller, then
dean of the diplomatic corps. 1t is sig
nificant that in an interview given out
shortly after his arrival in America DR..
! Dumba sounded the keynote Of his
whole activity in the country
ment in the conditions among Austro-
Hungarian laborers in America. He has
/ been one of the most popular members
Of the diplomatic corps, and although
there had until recently been no mo-
mentous matter that had brought him
| into official relations with the Ameri-
can government, his personality and his
frank manner made him a welcome
visitor at the State Department
Thirty-four years in the diplomatic
service, including posts In London, st.
Petersburg, at the Quirinal, Bucharest,
/ Paris. Serbia and Sweden, rounded out
/ his career, which, If II had not been
/ for the present difficulty, probably
would have closed here with retire
ment at the end Of the war. The am
/ bassador has spent many years of his
| life in English-speaking society, and
/ even the war did not affect his warm
sympathy for things and people Brit
/ ish. Only diplomatic propriety, which
made intercourse with the representa-
tiyes Of his country's enemies impos-
