TWO MORE TEUT0NS
MAY Be RECALLED
WILSON'S ACTION IN DUMBA CASE
INVOLVES GERMAN MILL
TARY ATTACHE.
AUSTRIAN CONSUL GENERAL
Won Pereked Also Was Connected with
Strike Plan, According to Dunn
ba Letter-New Submarine
Crisis Faces America.

Washington, Sept. IS. - President
Wilson's request for the recall of the
Austrian ambassador, DR.. Constantin
Theodor Dumba, has broadened into
a situation involving Captain Franz
Won Papen, the military attache of
the German embassy, Alexander Nu-
Der Won Pereked, the Austrian con-
~sul-generai in New York, and posi-.
bly, Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador.
The official view is that the am
bassador, although technically in
volved, Is not so seriously concerned
as the military attache or the consul
general. 1t is not unlikely that both
of the latter may be recalled or dis.
missed from the country.
Relations With Teutons Strained.
Coupled with Germany's disappoint-
ing and unsatisfactory explanation OF
the sinking of the White Star liner
Arabic after Count Won Bernstorff had
given assurances that full satisfaction
would be given if it was established
that a German submarine sunk the
ship, official Washington views the
friendly relations with the Germanic
powers strained more toward the
breaking point than ever before.
New Submarine Crisis.
Hopes that the submarine crisis had
been safely passed and that a break
between Germany and the United
States had been avoided were dis
placed by misgivings. Talk of the
possibility of breaking diplomatic re-
lations was heard again, although this
time 1t involved both the central pow
ers, on the theory that Austria, after
having her ambassador practically dis
missed from the country might stand
with her ally in relations with the
United States.
Unofficial reports that a second note
had been started from the Berlin for
eign Office for Washington furnished
about the only basis of optimism in
official quarters so far as the subma-
rine controversy was concerned.
American Reply Is Delayed.
There was no official intimation
that another communication was on
the way, but the American reply to the
note on the Arabic will be delayed
until officials car learn whether to
expect anything additional from Ber-
lin. 1t may be expected, however, that
If nothing comes in modification OF
Germany's explanation an American
note will reach Berlin probably early
next week which will set forth the
views Of the United States in a brief
and unmistakable manner.
Germany's declaration that while she
regrets the loss of Americans she
recognizes no liability for indemnity
even If the submarine commander was
mistaken in believing the Arabic was
about to attack him, and especially
her offer to arbitrate the principle, is
| regarded III official circles dis leaving
the whole submarine question prac.
tically where 1t was left by the Ber-
lin governments unresponsive attitude
toward the Lusitania negotiations and
in remarkable ~contravention OF the
favorable view which state department
officials had been led to take by the
statements Of the German ambassador.

Hill has gone to New York to handle

to the Allied governments of Europe.
Minneapolis bankers, it is under
stood, stand ready to furnish around
$4,000, 900 of the projected loan, their
action to depend on the character Of
the collateral and the attractiveness
of the interest rate. Local bankers
are investigating the situation and
awaiting the outcome of the negotia-
tons in New York between American
financiers and the Anglo-French mis-
sion sent here to arrange the credit
and re-establish the foreign exchange

Note on Orduna Case.

The German memorandum on the
Orduna case reached the state depart
ment during the day but was not de-
coded in time for consideration. II
probably will be before Secretary Lam
sing shortly when Count Won Bern
storfs reaches the department, furnish
ing an additional phase for discussion.
Nothing had been heard officially
from Vienna regarding DR.. Dumba.
Press dispatches stating that the am
bassador would be recalled without
making an issue of his right to plan
Austro-Hungarian strikes in American
munitions plants were accepted as ac-
curate. Notice Of his recall would be
given through Ambassador Penfield at
Vienna. So far the administration has
taken no steps acting against Austrian
Consul General Won Nuber, at New
York, and Captain Won Papen, the Ger
man military attache who were involv-
ed in DR.. Dumba's plans.

Athens, Sept. 1.-THE conferences

completed 1t Is improbable Greece will
adopt Il definite policy in regard to

Threatens Wheat Market.

Two considerations have prompted
the choice Of Mr.. Hill to handle per-
haps the biggest financial deal in the
history of the country. In the first
place, Mr.. Hill is regarded as being
extremely influential with the Canad-
ian financiers who will work with the
Anglo-French mission and thus in turn
have an influence with the foreign
ers. Secondly, Mr.. Hill himself is anx-
ious to see the situation cleared be.
cause the present ratio of foreign eX-
change, the result of floods of gold
to this country, seriously threatens
the market for American products,
more particularly that Of wheat.
To Establish European Credit.
To market the American product of
wheat, cotton and manufactured goods,
European credit must be established.
In the present situation Mr.. Hill sees
danger to the farmer of the Northwest
for the excess production of wheat
this year is estimated at 375, 900, 600
bushels. The Allies need 500, 600, 900,
but they can get it from Canada, Ar
g~catina, India and Australia, II credit
is not arranged here. If the Dardan-
Giles are opened, 250, 0O0, 200 bushels
will be available from the Black sea
regions. Therefore Mr.. Hill will point
out to American financiers, European
credit must be established here SO that
the American market can be protected.

CLAIMS CONTROL OF MEXICO
First Chief Willing to Confer With Pan,
American Diplomats But "Soieiy
From an international! Pcint
of View"

Vera Cruz, Sept. 13.-General Ven
ustiano C~arranza's reply to the appeal
Of the United States and the Latin
American countries for a conference
between the leaders OF the various
Mexican factions, having in view an
adjustment of MeXico's internecine
struggle, is in a polite but un%equivocal
no
In a note issued by Foreign Minis
ter Acuna, General Carranza has told
the diplomats that he can permit of
no interference whatever by foreign
governments. He explains that he is
In control of all Mexico except
the states of Chihuahua and Morelos
and a part of the state of Sonora.
The signers of the note to Carranza
are invited to come themselves or to
send representatives to some point
along the Rio Grande for a conference
at which the affairs of Mexico may be
discussed solely from an information
al point of view" and with the idea
that Carranza's government be rec
ognized as the de facto government in
Mexico.
Commands Army Of 10000.
The diplomats are told in the note
that the first chief of the Constitu-
tionalists now commands an army of
100000 men; that the functions of
public service have been restored, the
railways repaired and railway traffic
resumed. The note adds that in the
fields and the cities there have been
reborn the activities of normal life.
Stress is laid in the note on the as
sertion that soon the entire country
will be at peace.
The reply insists that the first chief
is actuated by the highest motives in
declining to participate in the confer
ence. 1t is stated in the note that the
fact that the revolutionists had en-
tered into a pact at Juarez with the
old government was one of the weak
nesses Of President Francisco /. Ma
dero's arrangement for the ~rehabilita-
ton of Mexico and that this alle9ed
tr%affcking with the opposition was
one of the reasons for the disagree
ments that eliminated in the tragic
battle in Mexico City In February,
1913. incidentally, it Is stated in the
note that some foreign diplomats"
were involved In that affair.

submarine commander was justified
without involving the general princi-
pie for which this government has con-
tended.

disappointing note from Germany on
the Arabic and the request for the re-
call of Ambassador Dumba of Austria.
