Vienna, Sept. b. (By courier to Ber-
lin, via The Hague, Sept l6)-" Aus
tria has not interfered, and will not
interfere, with the internal affairs Of
America. We are too busy with Euro
pean affairs to bother with strikes in
America. But whatever our inquiry
shows, we will consider America $
request for the recall of Ambassador
Dumba purely personal II cannot dis
turb the friendly relations between the
two countries"
This statement was given today TO
the United Press by an official who is
one of n group determining the mon
archy's policies. He added that he
would be glad to have II sent to the
United States as explanatory to Aus
tria Is attitude toward the recall OF
Ambassador Dumba for his plan to Grip
pie American munition manufacture.
Whether Austria shall name sue
cessor' to Dumba, and if 50, how soon
has not yet been determined. The for
eign office has apparently not recover
ed from a surprise oceasioned by thI
American demands. Dumba had beer
regarded highly by. his home office, anc
officials believed he wood well witt

Before Judging the case, we must heal

This official praised American Am
bassador Penfield as having "discharg
ed delicate duty with the greatest
tact" Penfield, however, would moi

VALUABLE CARGOES
OF SHIPS ARE SEIZED
Admiralty Prize Court On
Ground Of Attempting To
Evade Blockade

London, Sept. l6.-Valuable cargoes
of several ships, detained en- route from
America to Copenhagen, were seized TO-.
day in the admiralty prize court.
Delivering his judgment, Sir Samuel
Evans charged that number Of Amer.
lean shippers had attempted to eyade
the English blockade OF Germany by
using false manifests, and warned them
that their acts would weigh heavily
against them in the iuturc.'
Only small portions Of the cargoes,
which the claimants proved conclusively
were consigned to neutral destinations,
for neutral consumption, were freed.
The value of confisvated goods Is es-
timated at $1O,OOO,OOU, with the heay.

packers.
One American concern, Sir Samuel
Evans said, forwarded to Copenhagen
less than month after the war start
ed twenty times as much lard as 1t
shipped in peace times. He held II was
not reasonable to suppose that this was
intended for use in Denmark, leaving
the inference that he believed its ulti'
mate destination was Germany,
Likewise Sir Samuel pointed out that
an American packer had sent to Copen.
hagen enormous quantities Of canned
meats, though previously he had had nc
msrket there. This he considered evi
dence that Germany was TO be the con
sufner.

PROMISES TO SHIPPERS
ARE NOT FULFILLED
German-American Questions
Are Resting For Time
Being
(By: Charles P. stewart.)

Washington, Sept. l6.-The Anglo
American diplomatic situation today
was temporarily more urgent than the
German-Ameriean difficulty.
The sharpest note this government
has yet penned viii be sent to London,
it was predicted, should investigation
prove the truth of American importers
charges that English private interests
are obtaining notifications under the
British order in council, which have
been denied to Americans.
On September 6, Ambassador Page Of
London notified the state department
that in ''few days" arrangements
would be made to permit shipment,
through neutral countries, of goods
bought by Americans from Germany be-.
fore the order in council became effec-
tive. Many importers promptly ap-
piled at the state department and
British embassy for fuller information
concerning this notice.
The British embassy, after telling inn
porters to file proofs Of time of pur.
chase at the trade advisers department
in the state department, never indicated
q willingness to receive such proofs.

quotation of Won BernstOrff as decar
ing that all supposed" " difficulties be
tween the two nations would be swept
away in the next two weeks. His op
timism was not reflected, however, by
the attitude Of official circles. 1t wai
reliably reported, however, that the Of
ficial attitude of anxiety is deliberately
maintained.
Concessions, it was said, were likely
to be obtained more easily from BerliI
if the latter understands that the ad
ministration regards the situation al
most grave. Furthermore, it was pointed
out, an added emphasis will be given t

Constantinople, Sept. l6.-(By cour-

resumed their methodical determination

They have outraged women.
They have sold them into the black
est kind of slavery.
They have massacred men by whole
sale
They have driven whole communities
from their homes into the desert.
Two hundred thousand villagers be-
tween Yeni Chedir and Alton Karahis
sar, Asia Minor, have abandoned their
homes in fear of the Turkish cruelties,
and have fled to the mountains for
safety. Turk bands are pursuing them,
mercilessly shooting down stragglers
unable to keep up with the rout, and
capturing women who fall by the way,

Handsome women and children were

S v { DEN WILL
TAKE PART soon
IN GREAT WAR
That Is General Belief Of Euro
pean Statesmen Watching
Events
By William G. shepherd.)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
London, Sept. l6.-What will Sweden
do
This is the question asked with in
creasing frequency mere.
No one knows why Sweden should do
anything But that she will do some
thing shortly favoring one side W the
other in the great war, seems TO be an
established opinion in the ally coun-
tries.
1t is urdeniable that popular opinion,
based on more or less reliable infor-
nation, is that Swewen will shortly
throw her lot with Germany. Inquiry
in diplomatic circles develops these
facts: Germany is doing her best to
bring Sweden into the war.
There is party in Sweden that
favors Germany and is willing to have
the Swedish army help the Germans.
This party includes the financial in
terests, but is in the minority numeric-
ally.
The progressive party, which out
voted the reactionary party two to one
in the past election is anti-German and
anti-war.
Tne war party in Sweden is trying
to create popular sentiment against
Russia, reminding the Swedes that Rus
sia took Finland from Sweden.
The miltarists of Sweden are of the
German school; the Swedish army is
trained on German lines; the sympa-
thies of many Swedith militarists are
with Germany.
The chief outstanding fact is that
Sweden's democracy is being severely
tested on the war question. If this
democracy succeeds Sweden will not en-
ter the war.
