the request of President Wilson. sail
ed for home to-day on the Holland
American liner Nieum Amsterdam. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Dumba.
DR.. Dumba sailed under a safe con-
duct arrangement made by the State
Department. The Nieuw Amsterdam
will touch at Falmouth, England, and
then proceed to Rotterdam. From
the latter port DR.. Dumba will go at
once to Vienna to report to his for
eign office.
Mrs. Dumba reached the dock about
twenty minutes before her husband
did, and Immediately boarded the
ship. DR.. Dumba was accompanied
by Prince he-Schillingfuerst,
the Austrian Embassy attache. AS
soon as the former Ambassador step
ped from a taXicab he was surround
ed by newspapermen. He readily
agreed to pose for photographs and
walked to the end of the pier, where
the light was better.
Bears No Ill Will
DR.. Dumba in his last words to
the newspapermen said:
II bear no ill will towards this
country nor its people. l am deeply
sorry to leave at the present time, for
I have made many friends here and
l had hoped to stay longer to see
more of the country and its people.
That is ALL"
DR.. Dumba had previously said he
was not responsible for the order
barring all persons other than pas
sengers' and officials from the Nieuw
Amsterdam. He said he supposed the
steamship officials had taken the pre-
caution to avoid confusion aboard the
ship or perhaps to protect me from
cranks."
Thirty or more persons, several of
them connected with the New York
Austrian consulate, were at the pier
to bid farewell to DR.. Dumba.
