subject was a negative response when
asked whether-any steps had been TAX
en- toward bringing the situation 10
the attention OF the Austro- Hungarian
foreign Office.
From reliable sources il was learned
tonight that DIR. Dumba in making his
explanation outlined the Austro- Hun
garian view OF the plans dealt with in
his letter, contending that IT contem-
/ plated no violation of laws of the
United States nor offense against Am
erican institutions. So far, IL was
said. no steps had been taken but the
ambassador had been instructed to
give widest publicity to a new decree
OF his government making nationals
liable under martial law for render
ing assistance In the manufacture OF
munitions OF war for the enemy. This
decree, previously announced, pro
Vides punishment OF long terms OF inn
prisonment and even death by hang
ing for Austro-Hungarians committing
the onense at home or abroad Co
operation in carrying out the purposes
OF the law, IL was pointed out, was
held TO be mere fulhllment OF the duty
OF an Ambassador charged with pro
lection of his nationals. II was not
denied, however. that Austria-Hun-
gary's representatives, while they had
no desire to injure American inter
ests, would not hesitate to handicap
in any way possible the efforts OF their
enemies TO obtain munitions.
To Call on Wilson.
At the embassy tonight II was
stated that Ambassador Dumba ex-
pected to see Secretary OF Labor VIII
son tomorrow before returning to his
summer quarters at Lenox Mass. The
ambassador is known to be working
on scheme for setting up an employ
ment bureau to take care OF men who
leave munition factories at his insti-
cation. He wants the cooperation OF
the department OF labor officials in
the plan. After seeing Secretary Ian.
sing, DIR. Dumba returned TO the state
department and conferred with AS
sistant Secretary Phillips in charge
or the Western European affairs divis-
| ions. II was understood that they dis
cussed some matter OF routine bust
ness
There has been no suggestion here
that the ambassador had violated
American law. and apparently the
only question is whether the admin
istration will regard his acts as
breaches of diplomatic propriety. DIR.
Dumba himself asked for the confer
ence with Mr. Lansing after the an
nouncement Of Archibald's detention
and the publication in this country Of
extracts from his letter

Wonderful Skill.

This analysis does not show. how.
ever, the skill and cleverness with
which Johnston worked out his vic
tory. Considering the match as a
whole. he proved his better general
snip and stroke ability BY forcing Me
Loughlin TO play mid-court most OF the
time. In the first set. IL was quickly
revealed TO johnson that he had abso-
lutely no chance when McLoughlin
swung his racqet close to the net. As
a result the youthful San Franciscan
forced his townsman TO the base line
with deep passing strokes or coaxed
him TO the service line with short. low.
tantalizing strokes which Mclaughlin
in his eagerness TO turn, drove more
frequently into the net or out of court
than TO uncovered spots in the win
ner's territory.
Not a single point was won or lost
without the contestants making the
most terrific efforts and the constant
racing about the court in the close and
humid atmosphere soon had both
dripping. Mclaughlin showed the
physical strain as early as the second
set, which he lost at love. thus es-
taolishng what is said to be a record
IN MS tennis career. Mclaughlin was
wild IN stroking and uncertain in d.
rection and before Johnston's fast
steadying game dropped six games in
row in a manner that made him ap-
pear as helpless as his opponent had

Once the winning stroke had been
made. however. and Johnston had
leaped the net in the wake of his fiy-
Ing ball and thrown his arms around
McLoughlin's neck the stands qulv-
cred and sagged under pounding feet
and applauding hands. A final climax
was given TO the picture when both
Johnston and Mclaughlin were lifted
on the shoulders of their admirers
and carried side by side into the club
house.
There was no hint OF the impend-
ing defeat of the champion OF 1912
and 1913 when Johnston and Nc
Lougnlin started play shortly after 3
O'Clock. The California comet was at
his best and with wonderful control
OF the ball made his younger opponent
look like novice. racing through the
set before Johnston could shake on
his nervousness. Once the latter got
going. however. the whole complexion
OF the match was changed.
Little by little. Johnston solved the
tactics and strokes of the old master
and. increasing his speed and control.
beat Mclaughlin in almost every de-
partment OF play. A careful study of
the stroke analysis shows that despite
Johnston's wavering and uncertain
