Washinqtoo Not Informed,

Washington. Sept 21.-No inquiries
have been made by the Austrian ior
eign office as to the acceptability Of
Kajetan Mercy Won Kapos-M Mere as am
bassador to the United States or re-
garding any prospective successor to
DR.. Dumba.
Budapest news dispatches that the
Austrian ambassador at Rome would
be transferred to Washington were the
state departments only information
that successor to DIR. Dumba was be-
ing considered in Vienna
Ambassador Penfeld's latest dis
patches indicate the Austrian govern.
ment has made no decision as yet con-
corning the recall of DR. Dumba.
President Wilson and Acting Sec
retary Polk, of the state department
held a long conference at the White
House last night regarding the status
'of Dr. Constantin .Dumba, the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador. whose recall
has been requested.
1t vas indicated definitely again that.
while officials were displeased with the
letter of DIR. Dumba to Secretary Ian
sing, complaining that he had been
treated unfairly, there was no inten-
ton of handing the ambassador his
passports. State department officials
have started an investigation, how
ever. to establish just how this letter
became public in New York, and il 1t
develops that DR.. Dumba himself gave
it out. some way of showing the dis
pleasure OF the American government
may be found.
Dumba's Censorship Claim.
Investigation at the state department
of DR.. Dumba's claim that he was not
permitted to send his government his
explanation of the acts which led to
the request for his recall. showed that
he had submitted q message, q portion.
at least of which was not sent. In his
letter to Secretary Lansing, DIR. Dumba
said his message was rejected by your
censor" 1t was explained last night
that -he dispatch was not submitted
to navy censors in charge at the Say
vile wireless plant, but was passed on
at the state department. A part of the
message was not sent. 1t was said, be-
cause it was practically the same as
the message sent by DR.. Dumba to
the Vienna minister Of foreign affairs
and which led to the request Of his re-
call.
One Memorandum Unsigned.
IT also was disclosed last night that
a copy Of memorandum relating to
plans for calling out men employed In
munitions plants at Bethlehem. Pa.
and in the middle west which was
forwarded to Secretary Lansing by DR..
Dumba, was not signed.
In sending the original 60 his for
eign minister DR.. Dumba indicated the
memorandum had been nrapared nv
the editor OF Hungarian newspaper
for Alexander Nuber Won Pereked, the
Austro- Hungarian consul general in
New York. Whether the original was
signed will not be known definitely
until the state department receives the
Photographic copy sent from London
by Ambassador Page.
This point is expected to have an
important bearing on whether action
will be taken against the editor.

London, Sept. 21.-Latest reports
from the wilma nghting zone indicate
that the Russian army there has es-
capped the coils which Field Marshal
Won Hindenberg threw about It.
BY cavalry raids, as brilliant as the
famous coups Of Stuart and Sheridan
in the American civil war, q screen OF
German horsemen swazmed about both

however. that these encircling forces
are too weak to impede General
Ruzsky's veterans.
Tho simultaneous movement BY
Prince Leopold and Field Marshal Won
Mackensen have not resulted In the
expected advance. especially by the
latter, who has not been able to link
his scattered troops after their march
thru the Pripet marshes.
Grand Dukes Strategy Lacking. :.
If it be true that the defenders OF
wilma have escaped, Russia has cause
to draw q deep breath Of relief. Tor It
is apparent that the cautious strategy
OF Grand Duke Nicholas was abandon

Ruzsky's troops remained In Wilma so
long that Field Marshal Won Hfnden-
berK's plans for q junction OF his
wings seemed for time certain OF
success.

FoReER KING GIVES UP FIGHT

Crook, Pleads Guilty at Waukesha.
Waukesha, Wis. Sept. 21.-George
Adler, known thruout the southwest as
~. w. Barnhardt. president and director
Of bank at Forest City, Ark, threw
himself to spend the rest Of his life in
prison.
With fifty-four cities in twenty
states begging Waukesha to let them
try him for forgeries. Adler. instead OF
making the expected desperate fight for
acquittal. suddenly announced a plea OF
guilty and will be sentenced on Friday
His sentence ends a career which the
Pinkertons say involved forgeries OF
from 100000 to $1.Oo0.0Oo. and when
his term Is served in Wisconsin he will
be given up to authorities of other cit
les. He is 81 years old. 80 this means
practically life in prison.
He was caught at st. Louis two
weeks ago. after breaking jail here. and
his wife is said to be living there. in
ignorance until his arrest. that he was
more than a rich country banker. -
The story Of Adler'sicareer is one OF
the strangest in American criminal
history. Operating for many years
using his knowledge as a banker. he
worked successfully city after city
placing forged mortgages on real farm
property with banks in the nearest To-
calities to the farms supposedly mort
gagged.
His age was such as to disarm sus-
picion. and though he was bulletined
the country over he was finally caught
here only by an accident. When he
had a forged mortgage ready to place
the farmer whose place WAS supposed
to be in the negotiations dropped into
the waukesha bank to tell how ne was
prospering.
When Adler was located by the po-
lice he tore up the forged mortgage and
threw 1t into sewer. but enough was
recovered to establish case against
him.
He was in jail waiting trial and pre-
pairing for fight or flight for sis
months. and one night nearly beat the
deputy sheriff to death and escaped
vita three companions. Adler was fin
a1lv caught In st. Louis. whore two
p.nkerton men recognized him on the
street.
II /. said In police circles that by
th,s time his identity with the Forest
CITY banker has been established and
that he was really captured by trail
inv his wife from Arkansas to st. Louis
when arrested he declared he was
not Adler. the Arkansas banker, but his
plea was ignored and he was brought
back.

for the flotation Of credit loan to
Great Britain and France of $600,000
900 to $500, 0,O00,0 900 are rapidly nearing
conclusion, 1t was reported today.
Announcement that definite agree
ment had been reached was expected
by the American financiers within a
few days. possibly by the close Of the
week.
Several minor matters are yet to be
decided upon. Ono Of the chief OF
these was said to be the actual amount
Of the loan. The commission continued
its negotiations today with the bank
ers. One Of the chief subjects under
discussion was the inclusion OF the
conversion privilege In the five and
ten year bonds to be issued by Great
Britain and France for the loan. Plans
are said to be in the making to grant
to holders Of term bonds the privilege
of converting them into long term
bonds. The life Of the long term
bonds was said to be yet agreed upon,
but it was thought twenty or twenty
Ave years would be the period.
Tho members Of the commission to-
day were guests Of A. Barton Hep
burn, chairman of tho Chase National
bank, at the Bankers Club.
A report that there had been h1tch
IN the, nexotiations was authoratively
denied by bankers.
Troublesome Questions Overcome.
subordination Of troublesome ques-
tions Of providing way for paying
for munitions Of war have not simply
POSTPONED q decision on this point. In
the opinion Of the Anglo-FFrench
commission. but viii result In Its
gradual disappearance. The bankers
Opposing this point have assumed the
big credit would not be intended to
cover every dollars worth Of exports
but Great Britain and France would
continue to remit gold to America and
also to sell American securities In this
market.
These methods. it was thought, could
amply provide way for taking the
munitions matter out of the negotia-
tions. The first big problem as the
commission and its American asso-
ciates viewed it was to stabilize ex-
change. This could be done by estab-
fishing credit covering foodstufs and
cotton alone, hardly reckoning manu-
factured articles Of munitions. With
exchange stabilized, 1t was thought,
there would be little difficulty in pay
ing for munitions.
Provide lnstalIment Payments.
Proposals before the commission
were also said to provide for install
ment payings at banks guaranteeing
the loan and the deposit in the sub
scribing banks Of all subscriptions
without interest until such time as
they are needed. Another feature said
to have come up for discussion was
whether the short term bonds on
which the loan Is to be issued could
not be made to include the provision
Of conversion on long terms $50 ,or
100 years) bonds which would pay ~
per cent interest. These, 1t was
thought. would be favorite invest
ment in the bond market inasmucl1 as
they would be virtually first mort
gage on the British empire and
France.
