WITH WIFE, JOURNEYS ON
THE NlEUW AMSTERDAM

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-Dr. Constan-
lin I. Dumba, the Austro- Hungarian
ambassador to Washington, who was
recalled at the request of President
Wilson, sailed for home today on the
Holland liner Nieuw Amster-
dam. He was accompanied by Mrs
Dumba. DR.. Dumba sailed under a
safe conduct arrangement made by
the State department. The Nieuw
Amsterdam will touch at Falmouth,
England, and then proceed to Rotter-
dam. From the latter port DR.. Dumba
will go at once to Vienna to report to
his foreign office.
Mrs. Dumba reached the dock about
twenty minutes before her husband
did and Immediately boarded the ship.
DR. Dumba was accompanied by
Prince Hohenlohe Schillingfuerst, the
Austrian embassy attache. AS soon
as the former ambassador stepped
from taXicab he was surrounded
by newspaper men. He readily agreed
to pose for photographs and walked
to the end of the pier, where the light
was better.
DR.. Dumba, in his last words to the
newspaper men, said II bear no ill
will toward this country nor its peo-
pie. | am deeply sorry to leave at
the present time, for | have made
many friends here and l had hoped
to stay longer to see more of the
country and its people. That is all. !"
DR.. Dumba had previously said he
was not responsible for the order
barring all persons other than passen-
gers and officials from the Nieuw Am
sterdam. He said he supposed the
steamship officials had taken precau-
tions to avoid confusion aboard the
ship, or perhaps to protect me from
cranks."
Thirty or more persons, several of
them connected with the New York
Austrian consulate, were at the pier
to bid farewell to DIR. Dumba.
The recall of DR.. Dumba was due
to the seizure by agents of the Brit
ish government of messages from the
ambassador to his government, which
had been carried across the ocean by
James II. j. Archibald, an American
This took place early last month
Copies OF the dispatches were com
municated by the British government
Der 3 the secretary of state an
nounced that he had instructed the
American ambassador at Vienna to
de, yer a note to Austria, notifying
that country that DR.. Dumba was no
longer acceptable as an ambassador.
In the note to Austria Secretary
Lansing stated that DR.. Dumba ad-
mitted that he proposed to his gov
ernment plans TO instigate strikes in
American manufacturing plants en-
gagged in the production of munitions
of war and admitted that he en-
ployed Archibald to bear official dis
patches to the Austrian government.
This latter action was stigmatized by
Mr.. Lansing as a "fagrant violation
of diplomatic propriety."
Ten days later DR.. Dumba sent a
note to Mr. Lansing denying that his
proposal to interfere with the manu-
facture of war munitions was an in
trusion in the domestic affairs of this
country or that hrs employment OF
Mr.. Archibald as q messenger was
improper. At the request of the Aus
trian government the United States
arranged with the British govern
ment for safe conduct for DR. Dumba
on his homeward journey across the
ocean.
