Middle West In another paragraph
 of the letter Dr. Durnba says that 1t is
 his impression ''that we can disorgan- ize and hold up for months, if not ef- tifely prevent, the manufacture of nau- nftions In sRethlehe1n and the Middle West, which, in the opinion of the German Military AtracfIe, is of great importance and amply outw eighs the expenditure of money involved" From these statements it would ap- pear that Consul General von Nuber and the etchief editor'' of the Hungar- ian paper whose identity has not yet been ascertained, might have been the persons with whom pr. Dun1ba icon | spired,'' and that the Military Attache of the German Embassy was a party tary Attaehe is Captain Franz von Pa pen of the German army.
 I The official career of Consul General von Nuber in this country can be brought to an end by the simple pro- cess of cance1ing his exequator. It l ment to request that he be recalled Captain von Papen is 9. diplomatic of fcer and fin his case a request for his recall would be necessary.
 What the Dismissal Means. f While the Administration is si' ent on the subject, preferring to let it's note to the Austria-Hungarian Government
 
 itself, the opinion is widespread in well informed circles that the dismissal of Dr. Dumba is intended by President Wilson as an answer to the activities of those persons in this country who have attempted to embarass the Gov lernment through their propaganda in behalf of the Teutonic allies. It is a1- so regarded as notice to diplomatic re- presentatives generally that the Gov ernment will not tolerate any acts that in any way bear on the right of the Am erican people to conduct their do- Inestic affairs without foreign inter ference.

 1 Government officials contended that great consideration had been shown for pr. Dumba. One of them said that in deciding to ask for the recall of the Eambasador of Austria-Hungary, the administration felt that it should take that course with drmness and dignity and due consideration for the feelings of the.

 Translated copies of these documents were obtained by Ambassador Page in London from the British authorities and were cab1ed by MT. Page to the State Department which is awaiting the receipt of the memoir prepared by the editor of the Hungarian newspa- per, which proposed the plan indorsed by Dr. Dunba for disorganfzing war knnunition plants in this country
 Judged by Secretary Lansing's ca bled instructions to Ambassador Pen field, President Wilson and MT. Lam sing acted in pr. Dumba's case on the basis of Dr. Dumba's own statements, which were construed by the President and the secretary of State as confes- sion that he had taken part in con- spiracy to instigate strikes in muni- tions factories.
 Retaliation Not Considered.
 The suggestion had been made in a way to attract attention that if the United States government dismissed Dr. Dumba the government of Auat@la-
