Mrs. Archibald Says
Her Son Did Not Know
Contents Of Message
By Asseeiated Press

Cincinnati. Ohio, Sept. 10.-"My son
did not know the contents of the let
ters that have caused the trouble. He
acted as the personal friend of Am
bassador Dumba. He is too good an
American TO do anything that might
involve his country"
This was the declaration to-day of
Mrs James Archibald, of Boston,
Mass, mother of the war correspond
ent, James f. ]. Archibald, whose role
as messenger for DIR. Dumba, Austro-
Hungarian ambassador to the United
States. was believed to be one of the
causes for the request by the State
Department that the Austro- Hungarian
diplomat be recalled. Mrs. Archibald
is visiting at the home of Mrs. D. J.
Durrell, at Terrace Park, a suburb of
this city.
II know but little of the case as 1t
has been revealed in the newspapers,
continued Mrs. Archibald. August 10
I received cable from my son that
he had landed safely at Rotterdam and
l have had no word from him since.
He is too loyal an American to commit
any act that might be construed as a
reflection on his country. He is d
close personal friend of Ambassador
Dumba and the letters that he took
from the ambassador addressed to the
foreign office were sealed. My son had
not the slightest knowledge of their
contents"

Text of Note on Arabic
Is Sent Out by Berlin

Berlin, Sept. 10.-Germany's note
on the sinking of the Arabic on Au
gust 19 was communicated to the
American ambassador. James w. Ger
ard, for transmission to Washington
and is as follows:
ION August 9 German submarine
stopped the English steamer Dunsley
about sixteen nautical miles south of
Kinsale and was on the point of sink
ting the prize by gunfire after the crew
had left the vessel. At this moment
the commander saw a large steamer
making directly toward him. This
steamer. as developed later, was the
enemy vessel, as she did not fly any
flag and bore no neutral markings.
when she approached she altered
her original course, but then again
pointed directl ytoward the submarine.
From this the commander became
convinced that the steamer had the
intention of attacking and ramming
him.
he gave orders for the submarine to
dive and fired a torpedo at the
steamer. After firing he convinced
himself that the people on board were
being rescued in fifteen boats.
According to his instructions, the
commander was not allowed to attack
out saving the lives unless the ship at
tempted to escape or offered resist
ance. He was forced, however, to con-
clude from the attendant circum-
tances that the Arabic planned a vio-
lent attack on the submarine.
This conclusion is all the more
obvious as he had been fired upon at
q great distance in the Irish Sea on
August 14-that is, few days before
by large passenger steamer appar-
emily belonging to the British ROYAL
Mail Steam Packet Company which
he had neither attacked nor stopped.
THE German government most
deeply regrets that lives were lost
through the action of the commander.
1t particularly expresses this regret to
the government of the United States
on account of the death of American
citizens.
The German government is unable,
however. to acknowledge any obli-
cation to grant indemnity in the mat
ter. even If the commander should
have been mistaken as to the aggres-
sive intentions of the Arabic.
IF it should prove to be the case
that it is impossible for the German
and American governments to reach a
harmonious opinion on this point, the
German government would be pre-
pared to submit the difference of
opinion, as Delng n question OF inter-
national law, to The Hague tribunal
for arbitration, pursuant to Article So
of The Hague convention for the pa
cifc settlement of international dis
putes.
I'm so doing II assumes that as a
matter of course the arbitral decision
shall not be admitted to have the i'm
portance of a general decision on the
permissibility of or the converse under
international law of German sub
marine warfare"

VIEWS OF TAFT ON
SUFFRAGE DISCUSSED
DR.. Shaw and Mrs. Horace Brock
Comment on Former Presi-
dents Story

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 10. - Pro-
fessor William H. Taft's article on wo-
man suffrage, which appeared in the
current issue of the Saturday Eve
ming Post, caused no little comment by
suffragists and antisuffragists.
The Ex-President states in his
article that when he was graduated
from the Woodward High school, he
delivered an Grafton espousing equal
franchise, but that since then his
views on the subject have changed. He
asserts that in the end, if suffrage is
sufficiently delayed to give the women
a better chance to prepare for the ex-
ercise of the franchise, Its advantages
will outweigh it's probable injurious
consequences"
Many suffragists were puzzled by
Mr.. Taft's attitude, while others said
he was ION the fence" Still others
regarded his enunciations as a distinct
suffrage victory. The antisuffragists
also were puzzled, and many refused
to venture comments because they said
Mr.. Taft had not made his. ideas
clear.
The Rev. DR.. Anna Howard Shaw,
national suffrage president, called the
article a "muddle of contradiction"
and said Professor Taft had tied him-
self up in a knot in an endeavor TO
give both sides of the issue.
Mrs. Horace Brock, of Lebanon,
president of the Pennsylvania Asso-
citation Opposed to Woman Suffrage
said:
Both suffragists and antisuffragists
are indebted to Mr.. Taft for bringing
clearly before the voters that the ques-
tion to be decided by them in Novenl-
ber is not whether woman suffrage is
good thing in Finland. Iceland or
Australia, or in Pennsylvania, when
the millennium comes, but whether 1t
is expedient to grant the suffrage to
all the women of the State of Pennsyl-
vania in the year 1915. Mr.. Taft told
the people of California the other day
that they were trying out various
political experiments, ana reminded
them that they would have to pay for
1t. He did not specify what expert
ments they were trying, but what he
has said regarding woman suffrage in
the Saturday Evening Post makes it
very evident that he regards woman
suffrage as a very serious experiment.

Dr.. Dumba's Attaches
Cannot Believe News

Lenox, Mass, Sept 10.-When word
of the request for the recall of Doctor
Dumba was taken to the summer quar-
ters of the Embassy here officials ex-
pressed doubt as to the accuracy of
the Washington dispatches regarding
the recall.
"It cannot be believed" one of
them said. adding that he thought a
day or two would prove the unreliable
ity of the report.
Information that the announcement
was made by Secretary Lansing also
was received with apparent incredul-
ity. In the absence of Doctor Dumba,
it was said no statement would be
issued. The Ambassadors secretary,
Baron Stephen Henry de Hedri, said
that he believed the Ambassador was
iH New York. He thought that Doc
tor Dumba might return to Lenox to-
day, but added that he had no definite
information,

cation for Count Bernstorff, but 1t was
a copy of a statement which had been
forwarded to the German ambassador
by Secretary Lansing. In the note to
to the Vienna Foreign office, asking
DIR. Dumba's recall, Secretary
Lansing referred to the purpose of the
ambassador to conspire to cripple le-
gitimate industries in the United
States. Otficials were engaged to-day
in a study os whether Captain Won
Papen and Consul General Won Nuber
were not concerned in what the
American government has character
lied as a conspiracy.
Act Not Offensive
One official who has been studying
the details of the situation said to-day
that while the German ambassador. in
sending a communication by a person
carrying an American passport, may
have technically contributed to an
abuse of that document, In the view
of the State Department, the nature
of the communication he said was so
far removed from the others and of
such a legitimate character that his
act probably would not be regarded as
offensive.
Captain Won Papens letter, how
ever, is said to be decidedly offensive.
as in the nature of Consul General
Won Nuber's connection with the affair
as disclosed by the papers which the
British secret service men took from
Archibald at Falmouth.
No Immediate Action
It was believed in the best informed
sources to-day that further steps
would not be taken until the addition
al documentary evidence comes from
London and until Vienna has been
heard from on President Wilson'S re-
quest for the recall of DR.. Dumba. In
official and diplomatic circles 1T is ex-
pected that Austria will recall her am
bassador without delay, but that If
she resents the action of the United
States and stands behind the action
Iof her envoy she may not send an
Iother.
