Washington. - President Wilson'S
request for the recall of the Austrian
Ambassador, DR.. Constantin Theodor
Dumba has broadened into situation
involving Captain Franz con Papen,
the military attache Of the German
Embassy; Alexander Nuber Won Pere-
ked, the Austrian Co0sul General in
New York. and possibly Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador.
The official view is that the Ambas-
sador, although technically involved,
is not go seriously concerned as the
military attache or the Consul Gen
eral. 1t IS not unlikely that both Of
the latter may be recalled or dismiss
ed from the country.

AUSTRIA EXPLAINS PLAN

WAR SHOPS.
Ambassador Dumba EXPLAINS Hjs
Claims to Secretary Lansing.-
Wilson to Decide.

Washington.-Dr. Constantin Dunn.
ba, the Austro Hungarian Ambassador,
explained to Secretary Lansing a let
ter written by him to the Vienna for
eign Office discussing plans for with
drawing Austro Hungarian labor from
American plants making war supplies
for the Allies.
Neither the Ambassador nor Mr..
Lansing would comment on the inter
view when it was over. In official
quarters 1T was expected the Secre-
tary would submit the matter to Pres
ident Wilson, with whom would rest
the decision whether the explanation
was satisfactory
The text of Doctor Dumba's letter,
recently seized by British authorities
from it's bearer, James F. ]. Archi-
bald, an American, was cabled to the
state department by Ambassador
Page, and had been the subject of a
conference between the President and
Secretary Lansing before the Ambas-
sador reached the department. 1t is
understood the use Of an American
passport to shield the messenger, who
dispatches from the German Embassy
and other documents, was regarded
by them as quite as serious a matter
as the activities revealed by the letter
itself.
Mr.. Lansing's only statement on
the subject was a negative response
when asked whether any steps had
| been taken toward bringing the stu
alton to the attention of the Vienna
Foreign Office.
From reliable sources it was learn
ed that Doctor Dumba outlined to
Secretary Lansing the Austro-Hungar-
ian view of the plans dealth with in
his letter, contending that it contem-
plated no violation or laws of the
United States nor offense against
American institutions.

'iolis' II. ). Watson, commissioner of
agriculture, commerce and Industries
dellvered an address in which he
showed how the farmers of the state
were profiting by the lesson thew had
been forced to learn from conditions,
"hlch were caused last fall by the out
break of the European war. David r
Coker OF Hartsville, although unable

paper to the conference in which ha
announced the results of some import-
ant experiments he has been conduct
l1's In seed selection on his EXPERT
mental farm.
In his address Mr.. Watson traced
graphically what he termed the "agri-
cultural revolution which has gotten
under way in the last 18 months"
he declared that the farmers of the
cotton states in the southeast had
advanced further along AGRICULTURAL
lines in that period than they had in
the last rs years. The reason for this
advancement, Mr.. Watson said was
that they had taken to heart the les
sons the European war drove home
last fall
ignorance Is the costliest thing in
the world" said Mr. Watson. It led
10 the most shameless robbery of our
soil by system of farming which i'm
poverished 1t without even attempting
to replace by natural means the ele-
ments necessary to the growth of
plant life.'
Mr.. Watson predicted that the un-
assuming COW pea and other legumes
oy restoring the nitrogen to the soil
would in time redeem the soil Of
South Carolina.
With the wealth created by the
COW pea, we can build educational and
charitable institutions and make our
state blossom like rose" said Mr..
Watson.
The speaker scored the wasteful use
or commercial fertilizers which he
said had led the southeastern states
to the brink Of bankruptcy. He de-
clared that commercial fertilizers
were merely patent medicines" for
the soil which stimulated it for q
time when it was sick from neglect
ana made 1t do its duty for a day.

Quickly Made Anron.

A dainty little white tea" arpon
that takes little time, little material
and little skill is made as follows:
The size of the apron depends, Of
course, upon the size of the person
who is TO wear it. The average small
apron might look like a postage stamp
on a very large woman, and, on the
other hand, the same apron might
semi-envelop the small woman past
daintiness, which note the small
apron should always suggest.
It is scarcely necessary to purchase
material especially for the making of
the little apron. So small an amount
of material is required that the left
over end from a lawn shirtwaist or
some similar white end can be util-
lied. The apron is shaped like many
little aprons have been since little
aprons began; really egg-shape, with
the point shipped off and a band at
tached to the snipped-off end. An
apron so shaped needs no gathering
at the waist line before it is attached
to the simple little fold which the
band The apron broadens at the
bottom and is decidedly curved-egS
fashion.
Place a narrow hem, either by ma
chine or hand. about the apron, and
then add an edge Of lace. This lace
should be put on plain, except at GER
tain points. where it must be slightly
pleated in or gathered to make it lie
fiat when the apron is complete. At
the bottom center of the apron, two
inches above the tiny hem, a medal
lion-like insert should be made of in
sertion to match the edge, shaping it
into a fOur-cornered diamond The
band may end with button and but
tonhOle or with ribbon or lawn ties.
1t is possible to make this little apron
in a couple of hours

the robe were embroidered larger
sprays of the same flower as that

Neither were there any ribbons in
the sleeves of the nightdress. the
sleeves being sufficiently well fitting,
though loose, to dispense with any
thing like a drawstring.
