WASHINGTON, September s,-Am-
bassador Penheld, at Vienna, has been
instructed by cable to inform the
Austro- Hungarian government that DR..
Constantin Dumha no longer is accepta-
BILE as an envoy to the United States,
and to ask for his recall.
Secretary Lansing formally an
nounced the action tonight. 1t was
the answer of the American govern
ment to DR.. Dumba's explanation of his
intercepted letter to Vienna outlining
plans for handicapping plants in this
country making war supplies for the
allies.
PENFIELD INSTRUCTED BY
CABLE ON WEDNESDAY
Ambassador Penfeld was instructed
by cable yesterday to deliver the fol-
lowing note to the Foreign ONCE:
Mr. Constantin Dumba, the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador at Washington,
has admitted that he proposed to his
government plans to instiEate strikes
In American manufacturing plants en-
gagged in the production OF munitions
OF war. The information reached this
government through copy Of let
ter of the ambassador to his govern
ment. The bearer was an American
citizen named Archibald. who was
travelling under an American passport.
The ambassador has admitted that ho
employed Archibald TO bear official dis
patches from him to his government
BY reason Of the admitted purpose
and intent OF Mr.. Dumba to conspire
TO cripple legitimate industries Of the
people OF the United States and to in
terrupt their legitimate trade, and by
reason Of the fragrant violation Of dfplo-
matte propriety in employing an !Ameri-
can citizen, protected by an American
passport, as q secret bearer of Official
dlspatches through the lines OF tho
enemy OF Austria Hungary the Presi-
dent directs me to inform Your Excel
lency that Mr.. Dumba Is no longer ac-
cepaable to the government OF the
United States as the amba ssador of
His Imperial Majesty at Washington
Relieving that the imperial and
royal government will realize that the
government OF the United States has
no alternative but to request the re-
call of Mr.. Dumba on account OF his
improper conduct. the government Of
the United States expresses It's deem
regret that this course has become
necessary. and assures the imperial and.
royal government that il sincerely de-
sires 10 continue the cordial and
friendly relations which exist betwesn
the United States and Austria Hun
gary"
MAY he NO FURTHER
DEVELOPMENTS AT PRESENT
An ambassador is tho personal repre-
sentative or his country. and a request
Tor MS recall does not pecessarily mean
more than that he is personally obiec-
tionable. If Vienna withdraws Dr
Dunna without raising the question Of
the propriety of his conduct or it's right
TO control tho action of Austro-Hun
Sarians in this country, it Is declared
that would end the situation for tho
present at least
On the other hand, persons versed in (,
oiplomacy say decision to uphold the
ambassador would be followed by a
severance OF diplomatic relations be-
tween the two governments

AIR RAID EFFECTIVE
NEAR HEART OF LONDON

CHICAGO. September 9-The Daily
News to-day bases a surmise that last
nights Zeppelin raids on England must
have been over the heart Of London on

that the raid on the British capital
was effective IN or near what i2 called
the heart OF London The Daily
News office there is on Trafalgar
Square. not far from such landmarks
as ST. Jamcss Palace, Westminster
Abbey. the Parliament buildings and
the Charlng Cross railroad station"
In their latest Zeppelin raid over
England. the Germans apparently have
succeeded at last In striking at the
heart OF London. The inference may be
drawn plainly from various cable dis
patches which have passed the censor
that the German aeronauts dropped
bombs on the old city of London proper,
In the region which contains the
hotels, business district and the old
landmarks famous the world over. In
this district are normally thousands Of

low the average this summer, on ac-
count of the war. The Germans in
their Zeppelin attacks have aimed re-
peatedly at London. They have sue
ceeded previously in dropping bombs
within the metropolitan district, but
so far as is known, no earlier attempt
produced the effects OF Wednesday
nights raid. II appears significant
that the British authorities, in an
nouncing the result OF the attack, con-
fined themselves 10 an account Of the
casualties, making no reference to
property damage. as was done in
earlier announcements of the kind
1t may be inferred that the lombard
ment was of SO serious a nature as TO
arouse fears on the part of the Ameri-
cans III London that their friends in
this country would be alarmed for
their safety. The censor passed dis
patch stating that there were no
Americans among the dead or wounded
a cablegram from the London office
of the Chicago Daily News said that
all thae were safe. Carefully worded
articles in London newspapers con-
veyed n similar intimation, the Pail

Along the eastern front things are
moving more slowly again after the
Russian offensive in the southeast, in

British AfforestatIon.

A~fforestation as a national under
taking Is being kept insistently be-
fore the British government. At a
meeting of the Scottish Arboricultural
society in Edinburgh the other day a
resolution was adopted, in which the
government was urged to give facil-
tiles, and to provide funds for putting
schemes of forest tree culture into
operation. Aforestation carried out
on a considerable scale, It Is averred,
would afford suitable employment, un-
der healthy conditions, for a large
and increasing rural population. while
It would also assist in solving the
problem of finding work and wages
for the large number of soldiers who
at the end of the war on returning
home may not be able to resume their
former occupations. The matter is
really n Of some national urgency.
AS the chairman pointed out, the war
has made clear the dangerous extent
to which Scotland has hitherto been
dependent upon foreign timber, for
since the outbreak of hostilities every
article in which wood is used has
gone up considerably in price.

Work of Japanese Girls,

For Japan's coronation ceremony Of
taishosal next November 27 pretty
young women have been assisting in
transplanting the young emerald rice
plants in the sacred fields Of the
Mikawa province. Half way to their
knees in water, they toiled daily, like
their less privileged sisters, at the
work. Bending down, they laid the
tiny shoots in place, and rising, sang
sacred Shinto songs, for the rice
grains of the ARE festival must be
perfect In shape and color-true
seed pearls Of the Way of the Gods.
The girls are from sixteen to twenty.
one years old. OF these things the
papers took note. The photographers
snapped them in their coming and do
ing and going. Not only from the
neighborhood but from afar have
come insistent marriage proposals,
and all but n are said to be en-.
gagged and are to be married the day
Of the coronation.

Esteem State Health Board.

The Mississippi State Board Of
Health is held in very high esteem by
the public health department at the
national capital. Recent Investigations
have disclosed the fact that the Mis-
sissippi State Board OF Health Is about
the only one making a thorough and
painstaking report on diseases discoN"
cred. The investigation was brought
about on account Of Mississippi report
Ing so many more pellagra cases than
the other Southern States. 1t now de-
velops that we really have less of such
cases than the other Southern States,
and that failure to report all cases
found accounts for Mississippi figures
running ahead Of the others.
Pellagra is being treated very sue
c~essfully and cures are reported daily,
simply by balancing the diet, but in a
disease 80 easily prevented there Is
great opportunity for individual and
cooperative effort.
