Austria Gives Way to United States
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Was Fo-
menting Strikes.

Washington.-The state department
has been informed officially by Ambas-
sador Penfield at Vienna that Austria
has yielded to the request Of this gov
eminent and has recalled u~ncondition-
ally her ambassador to the United
States, DR.. Constantine Theodor Dunn
ba. The department now regards the
incident as closed.
This government asked for the re-
call of the Austrian ambassador be-
cause of his participation In q con-
spiracy to interfere with the opera
lions of American munitions plants.
The next important q Of similar
nature to be taken up is that Of Capt.
Franz Won Papen. German military at
tache, who in an intercepted letter,
characterized American citizens as
"idiotic Yankees"
The state department IS now con-
sidering whether to ask for his recall.
The administration is entirely satisfied
with the action taken by Austria in the
Dumba case, as it brings to q close an
incident which might have been devel-
oped into q serious controversy. This
government considered that = recall Of
DR.. Dumba on leave Of absence, OF Tor
any reason other than that assigned
by the state department, would not be
satisfactory.

London.-In Champagne the French
are attacking the German second line

nized as important, but the main OBJ.
ject-to break through the German
lines-has not been accomplished.
Both the British and French have
greatly improved their positions, and,
by gaining the hills and crests from
which they can dominate the German
lines of communication, their next at

The French continue to push for

heights Of Vimy. which command the

the north are making secure their hold
on the Lens-La Bassce road and are
beating off German counter-attacks
The battle in Champagne is over a
16-mile front, where French are now

way which crosses the country behind
the German positions and which has
been so useful. to them in moving
troops and supplies to threatened
points. With the French guns within
easy range the railway is rendered use.
less.
AS usul. there is a great divergence
between the German and French Of
fetal accounts of the battles. The Ger.
mans claim all French attacks have
been repulsed and that a number OF
prisoners have been captured.
It Is the same with regard to the
crown princes offensive in the Al.
gonne. This is described by the French
as an important action, but the Ger
mans say it is a minor one. designed to
improve the situation and hat the de.
sired result has been achieved.

Meet Obligations and Court Names
President Schoff az Receiver.

st. Louis-The katy Railway sys-
tenn, embracing the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas Railway OF Texas. have gone
into the hands OF a receiver.
This change, affecting a system with
an aggregate mileage of more than 81
500, was brought about by independ-
emit orders filed in the federal court at
st. Louis and Dallas, and was q result
Of q friendly agreement between Ger
tain creditors and the management of
the two companies that comprise the
system.
Charles e. Schan. president Of both
roads, was named sole receiver OF
each.
The receivership order signed here
was issued on the petition of the two
creditors-the Railway Steel Springs
Company of New Jersey and D. B. Hus.
sey Of st. Louis, who had a claim of
$135,O0 for ties and equipment. The
order issued in Texas was granted on
the petition of Mr.. Hussey. acting for
himself and other creditors.
The railway company fled an an
swer to the petitions here, c~onsenting
to the appointment Of q receiver and
admitting the allegations Of the petit
tons az to the inability of the road to
meet obligations already matured.
The receivership suit was fled by
agreement with the directors at the
railroad. The failure OF the holders
of $950.000 face value OF $19. zoo, 900
outstanding two-year flve per cent
notes to consent to an extension for
one year at six per cent brought about
the decision OF the railway manage
ment to throw the road into the courts
to prevent the fling Of Individual suits
that might result in a disintegratiop
Of the system.
