DUMbA ASKS RECALL ID MAKE PERSONAL REPORT ID VIENNA
Changes His Mind About Making Statement to Press of America Giving His
 Side of Controversy

Jenox. Mass. September 1.-The Austro- Hungarian am mbassador, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, today an nouneed that he had requested his for eign office to recall him on leave of absence, in order that he might make a personal report on the situation in the United States which resulted in a request by the United States govern ment for his recall.
 In authorizing the Associated Press to make the above announcement, pr. Dumba expressed indignation that the text of his message to the Austro- Baron Xon Burian, already had become public without his consent or knowl- edge.
 In view of the situation" he said he probably would not make public the statement of his position which he had in mind to give to the American press. He would, however. he said. have something to say through the Aus trian press when he reached Vienna.
 "I may say" said pr. Dumba, that l have sent this message to our min- ister for foreign affairs:
 - beg your excellency to recall me on leave of absence for personal report
 This was a purely official message and now for the first time I authorize its publication. It was sent from the embassy by the only means which l had to communicate with my govern ment, and, to my astonishment, it has become public, though not through the Associated Press, to whom I had planned to give a formal statement when l was prepared to do so. In view of the situation now, I think that 1 will have nothing whatever to say re- earding my position to the American press. I will, however, probably have something to say to the public through the Austrian press after 1 have re- turned home.
 Agents in New York are arranging reservations for me on a Dutch or Norwegian steamer, but the exact date of my departure has not been deter mined. I expect that the Great Brit ain governmental officials will afford me safe conduct.
 Mrs Dumba will go to Washington for brief stay before meeting me in New York when we sail"

HENDERSON REVIEWS ARTILLERY ENCHANTED
 AT CAMP MORGAN
Birmingham Boys Make Favorable Showing and Receive Gov
 ernOr's Commentator

Anniston, September 14.-(Special)-Gov Charles Henderson, who, together with his official staff, Congressman Fred l.. Blackmon and Lieut. Gov. T. E. kilby. reviewed the Alabama artillerymen in training at Camp Morgan here Monday morning, returned to Montgomery Monday afternoon to resume his duties at the capital.
 AS soon as the governor came into sight salute of IT shots was fired under the personal direction of Capt. William N. Michel of Battery c, Third Field artillery. The governor and his party then walked to a hill about 300 yards from where the battery was stationed. and from this point watched the guns of the battery belch forth their fire on an "enemy hidden on mountain side nearly mile distant. Three problems were fired, one by Lieut.. w. S. Pitchard, in command of Battery c, First Field artillery; one by Maj L. S. Dorrence, and the other by Lieut.. Ju- Han Smith of Battery c, First Field ar tillery. These problems were fired 1nder the direction of Lieut. B. M. Bailey, in- spector-instructor at Camp Morgan.
 This thing is entirely new to me and is all very wonderful" said Governor Hen derson, in commenting on the work of the f3lTInlIlS ndHl DdtttTy. As Sdptdil hlCuti and Lieutenant Bailey explained the diff ferent workings to the governor he made very favorable comment on the work of the Birmingham battery and according to the officers in command the Birmingham boys made an exceedingly favora ble show ing The governor was furnished a pair of field glasses and watched every shot fired to see the effect of the shell on the "enemy." Lieutenant Governor KlbY was at his side with another pair of fielc glasses. and they were by far tfH two most interested spectators in the party.
 Following the firing of the three prob- lems the governor and his party returned. to Camp Morgan, where they made hur- ried inspection of camp and here again the governor was favoraby impressed. The party then proceeded to the union station where the party boarded the train for Montgomery.
 Those in the governors party were as follows: Col. c. J. Hubbard, Col Leo Strassburg, Col. J. B. Stickney Lieut.. Col. w. H. Weiss. Col. w. E. James, Maj. c. H. Seals. Maj. T. c. Locke Mai R. V. Mabry, Lieut.. Col. c. s. Blakely and Maj. E. H. Jackson.

Mir Mcconnell holds a re- sponsible position in the general pas senger department of the N, C.

 My appetite had just about left me. and got very litle nourishment from what l did eat At night l slept poorly and was very nervous. In fact, l had no life or energy for anything, and was just dragging myself around as best l could.
 "This condition bothered me g great deal, fer l have always heretofore been pretty vigorous and took interest in my work. This thing of feeling half dead all the time was new to me.
 About three weeks ago friend re- marked to me that l needed something to build me up, and told me about how much this medicine, Tanlac, had helped his wife. l hadn't thought much of 1t until then, although I had heard a good deal about 1t. So l got Dottle ana began taking 1t.
 Well, 1t began helping me right away and in few days I was hungry all the time and felt like sleeping at night. After I had finished the first bottle l got the second, and actually in two weeks time I gained II pounds. This medicine Just simply seemed to put new life in me and I feel more like work I am getting stronger every day and feel as good I ever felt in my life.
 "I think the public ought to know about Taniac, for l believe it is the greatest n, n,ediclne in the world"

those who are familiarizing them

to high school students and they
