.PENF|ELD TO INSIST
ON DUMBA'S RECALL
Departure on Leave of Absence"
Not Satisfactory to Wash
ington Government.
USEFULNESS AS ENVOY ENDS
If Austria Does Not Act as
Desired, Passports May Be
Handed Ambassador.

WASHINGTON, September 25.--Am-
bassador Pentield, at Vienna has been
instructed to make clear to the Aus
trian government informally that the
United states must insist on the recall
Of DR.. Du: lba. the Austrian ambassa-
dor here. and that his departure ION
leave of absence" would not he salts
factory.
From messages exchanged between
Ambassador Pentieid and the state De-
partmcnt, it is apparent that the Aus
trian government misunderstood the
desires of the United states.
1T was intimated at first to Ambas-
sador Pcnfield that the Austrian gov
ernmcnt might recall DR. Dumba on
leave Of absence and might desire safe
conduct for him.
DIR. Dumba himself telegraphed for
such safe conduct a few days later.
informing the State Department that
he had been granted leave of absence.
No action was taken on his request.
but it was forwarded 10 Amba ssadOr
Penfield.
DUMDA'S USEFULNESS
AS ENVOY CEASES
Instructions sent to MIR. Penfeld were
not disclosed. but he has been au-
thorized TO make il clear that DR..
Dumba's usefulness as the Austrian
ambassador to the United States has
ceased, and that if given merely leave
of absence" he would. nevertheless.
still remain accredited
The right OF a government to de-
mand the recall of an amba ssador be-
cause OF his personal acts is unques-
toned under international law, and.
according to officials. If the Austrian
government persisted in refusing TO
recall DR.. Dumba. passports could be
handed TO him.
The State Department has received
word that the reply OF Austria to
the request of this government for
dor Dumba. the Austrian ambassador
on its way. 1t was announced at the
department that the reply is expected
at any moment.
NO DISCUSSION UNTIL
ANSWER rs RECEIVED
The receipt of this information fol-
lowed n hint from this government to
Austria that it did not quite under
stand the delay in answering the re-
quest for recall. The department. re-
ccivcd an informal inquiry from the
Austrian Foreign Office asking If il
would arrange for safe conduct for DR..
Dumba. 1t was quick to send back
word that il must decline TO discuss
the subject until II has received an
answer TO the request for the recall.
Ambassador Jusserand. of France,
called OH Acting Secretary of State
Folk to-day, and informed him that
provision had been made for the pas
sage of Nine. Dumba, wife of the Aus
trian ambassador. as requested by the
department several days ago Ambas-
sador Jusserand spoke for Great Brit

Especial Cable TO The Times Dispatch.
LONDON. September o5.--Chanccllor
of the Exchequcr Mckenna's remark
able figures on the cost of the war to
England. totalinE $3.50. 100000. and
over $4,000. 000. 900 In dead weight debt
hy March next. are completely eclipsed
by sensational estimate of the cost
of the world war put forward to-day
by Edgar Crammond. one Of England's
most noted statisticians
His figures. he says. are most con-
Scrvativc and accurate. based on such
authorities as Henri Mason. Of Bel
rium: Yves Guyot of France: Monsieur
Barriol, of Russia; Won Renaul and
Ricsser, OF Germany. and the Austrian
Minister OF National Defense.
He gives for the first year of war
the direct cost as $1,000. 600. 600. and
direct and indirect cost TO the bellig-
crents as upwards of $4,000. 900. 900.
On the same estimate, the direct cost
to date is approximately sl9.50o. .oo0. 900.
and the indirect s52,5cO, 600. 600. Taking
the countries scriatim. tho cost is as
follows:

England's enormous wealth in invest
ments abroad is expected to greatly
outlast any effort at home or abroad
on the part of Germany.
But says Guyot, "in five years this
vast drain on the worlds finances is
calculated TO put three quarters Of the
world in pawn and leave the United
states as the only solvent nation"

SO far as the Balkans are concerned,
the present crisis is considered more

action, one minister stating that great
developments are imminent With
Greece and Bulgaria armed against
each other and Roumania waiting to
take sides. nothing less could be en-

The British public. however. Is more
anxious to know what is happening
nearer home. Since Monday last there

and. according TO rumors. an enterprise
is being attempted which may change

ACTIVITY Or RRITIsH

The activity displayed by the Brit

undisputed. for dispatches from Hol-
