Charge at Washing
ton Is Recalled.
PENFIELD ON WAY HOME
American Ambassador TO Vienna
IgnOrdntOi Latest Move.

Washington. April lG-Austria-Hun-
gary. under the pressure OF Germany,
mas severed diplomatic relations with
the United States.
Baron Erick Zwiedinek, charge
daffaires OF the Austro- Hungarian EN-
bassy here, called at the state depart
ment and asked for passports for
himself and the embassy staff
Almost at the same time a dispatch
was received from American Minister
Stovall at Berne saying the dual
monarchy had broken of diplomatic
relations with the United States in
Vienna. 1t is presumed this was done
by handing passports to American
Charge Grew American Ambassador
Penheld, who had left Vienna on Sat
urday, probably did not know OF the
government action.
BY prearrangement Spain will take
over the diplomatic and consular in
terests of the United States in Aus
tria-Hungary All Austrian consular
agents will depart from the United
States with the diplomatic mission, as
was the case with Germany
Sweden to Act for Austria.
Vienna has asked Sweden to take
over her interests in the United
States.
Up to the time Charge Zwiedinek
asked for his passports no similar ac-
tion had been taken b, Bulgaria and
Turkey Germany's two other allies
and their representatives here dis
claimed having any knowledge OF the
intention of their governments.
1t is expected here they will follow
by breaking diplomatic relations.
Austria's break with the United
States undoubtedly is the prelude to
a declaration OF a state of war Six
ty-two days elapsed between the break
! in relations between the United States
and Germany and the formal declara-
tion of state of war How many
days will elapse before Germany 5
