General Sir Sam Hughes, War Min

munitions manufacturers, bankers and

gathering of Canadian men OF affairs
seen here in years.
General Hughes said that the British
War Office was so we'll pleased with
the results produced by Canadian she'll
makers that the imperial authorities
desired Canadian manufacturers TO en-
gage in the manufacture Of heavy
ordnance. Thousands of heavy hel
guns were needed, he said, and he
asked the manufacturers and bankers
to promote the proposed new industry

The proposal met instant approval.
Large shelimakers stated that they be-
lieved big guns could be made here
with slight delays incident to procur-
ing plans, highly trained men and ma

DIR. DUWBA RAKED
In SLOVAK PRESS
Lucky to Escape Without
24-HOur Notice in
View of Act"

The latest attack on DR.. Constantin
T. Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador
whose recall the Wilson administration
has requested, is made this morning IN
n Pronunciation Of DR.. Dumba's actions
in general and of the Austro- Hungar-
ian government in particular, in the
leading editorial Of the New YorksA
Dennik," the leading Slovak newspaper
in this country. Under the caption, "A
Memoriam to Constantin Dumba, ex-
Ambassador of Austria Hungary" the
editorial says in part:
THE President of the United States
has seen fit to inform your government
that you should be recalled. This act
by the President Is very lenient, con-
sidering your offence. Least TO say, you
should have been handed your pass
ports and given twenty-four hours time
TO leave this country. Had some one
committed an act of such gross offence
in your country, he would have been
jailed, watched by the gendarmes with
fixed bayonets, and not permitted TO
see his relatives and lawyers
"In returning to the land whence you
came, you would do a great deal OF
good by informing your government
that its future surveillance over the
people that have migrated to this
country Is Of naught. As you have
/ failed so will others fail in this under
handed WORK. Tell your government:
that those ignorant people have
! ceased TO be ignorant, that the free
: press-not the one subsidized by you
! Of this country has educated them, that
/ they are civilized, respected and well
aware of their personal and political
/ rights"
/ After charging that the Austro- Hun
| garian government intentionally keeps
| its subjects in ignorance the better TO
/ exploit them for the lords and court
/ iers. the editorial concludes:
Mr.. Dumba, tell your government
that we are citizens Of this great Re
| public. where we enjoy freedom, justice
/ and health, because we earn good wages
and have ceased to be slaves of the
/ lords, and that we will ever pray that
God may punish the Austro- Hungarian
government for the persecution OF the
Slovaks.

Austrian Press Divided
on Dumba Recall

Geneva. Sept 13-The Vienna morn
ing newspapers are filled with leading
articles on the recall of DR.. Dumba,
the Austrian Ambassador TO the United
States, considering the affair one OF
vital interest.
II would appear from these articles
that President Wilson's action has di-
vided Austro- Hungarian statesmen into
two camps. Those of the party OF
Baron Burian, the Foreign Minister, ap-
parently are persuaded that Ambassa-
dor Dumba acted under the influence OF
Count Won Bernstorf, the German Am
bassador. without orders from the home
government. The hungarian party, on
the contrary, believes that DR.. Dumoa
did his duty to prevent arms and am
munition reaching the Allies.
Emperor Francis Joseph apparently
was displeased when he learned OF the
action of the United States, and is said
10 have expressed the view that the per-
soralitv of the Austrian Ambassador
was A sufficient guarantee against state
ments attributed TO him by the United
States. which were without a solid
basis IN fact.
II is declared that kilograms OF some
what bitter tone were exchanged on
the subject between Foreign Minister
Purian and DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollweg,
tho German Chancellor. The German
Emperor is declared to have been great
IL interested in the development and
TO have recalled to Berlin Foreign Min
lister Won Jagow, who was about to go
TO Vienna.
The question Of diplomatic rupture
with the United States is being dis
cussed by the papers.

DR.. Dumba Justified
by a German Writer

Berlin, Sept. BIN an article in the
"Vossische Zeitung," entitled Ten
sion" George Bernhard, the political
writer. discusses the Dumba incident
as a prelude to a survey Of the general
European situation. He states tina.
the course pursued by Ambassador
Dumba might not have been diplomatic,
but whether il was justiiiable under in
ternational law is a debatable point.
"The Austro-Hungarian Ambassador,
however, rendered indirectly great
service" Herr Bernhard continued
"for he has called attention 10 the eX-
ploitation of poor workingmen in am
munition factories. This is absolutely
comprehensive. The Ambassador de-
sired to sever the bonds of these white
slaves. 1t was the more his duty to
make the attempt, since these people
invited severe penalties by their inirii-
cal acts.
THE Ambassador was not only justi-
fed but was under obligation 10 point
out, either personally or through Con-
suls, the undignified and punishable
procedure OF the Austrian and Hunga-
rian ammunition workers"
Regarding President Wilson's note 10
Austria, Herr Bernhard says it is "ab-
solutely correct" and adds:
ut again gives specific assurance
that the relations of the two nations
shall remain as of old the American
government calls them friendly"
Herr Bernhard expresses the belief
that there is no likelihood of more Sc
rious complications as a result of the
latest development.

Berlin Sees Peril
in Sereth Battle

Berlin, Sept. I3.--Leonhard Adelt,
war correspondent of the "Berllner
Tageblatt" with the Austrian head
quarters, reports that the Russian re-
sistance on the Sereth River has as
sumed a most serious aspect. and lndl-
Gates that the new commander has been
ordered to hold the remaining Russian
positions in Galicla.
The Russians, the correspondent
saws, are resorting TO counter attacks
which are giving General Count Won
Bothmers army much hard work on
both tanks. Yet these TANKS, he says,
lie in the broken, semi-mountainous
country, where defence from further
attempts TO endanger the rear Of the
army is relatively easy.
Moreover" the correspondent adds,
"the Russians have been able TO give
particularly energetic push TO the
operations between TarnopOl and
Czoptow by the arrival of steady
streams OF reinforcements for some
DAYS. The Germans who had reached
the village of Ostrow, on the Sereth,
south of Tarnopol, were attacked on
three successive days by the steadily
increasing Russian reinforcements. On
the 9th they drove the Russians back
across the Sereth at Ostrow. while the
Germans and Austrisns before Tarno-
pol had 70 resist violent attacks.
1.-THE Russians renewed their attack
on the 10th. They reached the German
positions, where their attack broke
down. the Russians losing many hun
dreds in killed. Nevertheless. the Rus
slams resumed their attack on the 18th
and reached the German entangle-
ments. which they cut with spades and
shears, and leaped into the trenches.

this juncture the German commander

new measures on which the Quadruple
Entente Allies have decided for the
future conduct OF the war. according
70 the correspondent Of the Turin
"Stampa." These measures are said to
he analogous to those employed by the
Germans TO assure their recent military
successes.
The Agencis Libra says that the re-
cent visit OF General Joffre &c the ital-

changes in the conduct Of the war.
