The document was very brief. It
merely stated that the suit had been
filed, tried and decided and that the
suit should be dismissed. 1t was
signed by the four judges who tried
the case-Buffington, Mcpherson,
Woolley and Hunt.
The briefness OF the decree was a

Refusal to Recall Dumba May
Lead to Serious Complica-
tiOns and May Result in
Severing Of All Diplomatic
Relations
By Atsociatcd Press

Washington, Sept. 10.-President
Wilson's request to Austria to recall
her ambassador DIR. Constantin Theo-
dora Dumba. has brought about a sit
uation which contains possibilities of
extending to the other diplomats of
the Germanic allies.
DIR. Dumba used James F. ]. Archi-
bald, an American bearing an Ameri
can passport, as a messenger to carry
communication to the Vienna For
eign office, although it has not been
called officially to the attention of this
government, the State Department un
destands unofficially that Arhcibald
also carried a communication for Cap
tan Won Papen, military attache of the
German embassy.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that
the American government considered
the sending of any communication in
the manner which DIR. Dumba used
an abuse of an American passport.
While all officials refused to discuss
= 1e situation further, 1t is known that
Nhe activities of Consul General Won
Nuber, of Austria, as well as those of
Count Won Bernstorff, the German en-
bassador, arc again being reviewed by
the State Department.
Captain Won Papens letter, which
was a private communication to his
wife, is now on its way to the State
Department from London. Officials
said the fact that it was a private and
not an official communication. did not
alter the case any. 1t is understood
that the writer made sighting refer
ences to American officials.
Enclosure Awaited
Another document for which Off
cials are awaiting is an enclosure in
DR.. Dumba's letter which referred to
negotiations between Consul General
Won Nuber and the editor of a for
eign language newspaper concerning
bringing about strikes in the Bethle-
hem Works and other war munitions
factories.
1t was made plain, however that
while the State Department for some
time has been fully advised of the ac-
tivities of Count Won Bernstorff he
was not involved to the extent of be-
ing in the same position as DIR. Dunn
ba but that there was serious consid-
Grafton of whether Captain Won Pa
pen or Consul General Won Nuber
should be allowed to remain longer in
the country.
