11. S. DEMANDS

DUMBA LEAVE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Relations between America

and Austria-Hunwary were strained today to the breaking

point. The United States has asked for Austrian Ambassador

Duniba's recall because of his effort* to cripple American

munitions plants in which Austrians are employed. Ihe

threatened breach may cause severance of diplomatic rela

tions between the two nations, but this would not necessarily

result in war, was the conclusion reached in authoritative

lircles here. Certainly, admitted high officials, the request

for his recall is pregnant with possibilities of an open break.

AMERICAN GIRL

ARRESTED AS SPY

Miss Bsmlce Barnett of San

Francisco wm believed by the Ger

mans to be an English spy snd

was detslned at Warnsmunde,

on the Baltic coast, until har effects

had been minutely examined be

Miss Barnett has studied music

In Lelptlg and Berlin for several

years, and shortly after the out

break of the war. had a harrowing

experience In the former city when

her apartment was raided by a

mob which bslieved her a Russian.

Acquaintances saved the girl.

Austria May Do Sam*

If Auairia refuses to heed the

American testiest, and recall Dum

ba. the United States will hand him

his passport*. Such a course. It ta

believed, would be followed by Aus

tria's handing passports to Ambas

sador Penfleld at Vienna.

There was good ground for the

belief that Dumba'a home govern

ment may back him up In bis re

rent activities. It via pointed out

that he apparently was acting with

the direct approval of Austria, tho

the foreign office perhaps did not

know the exact step* he had taken

tn his munitions crippling plan.

Hep* for Compliance

Should his government support

him, official* aald. a more *erlou*

i**ue would be force? than the mere

elimination of Dumb* as represen

tative here. The administration,

however, confidently hopes that

Austria will comply with the recall

request

Expect Quick Action

This government is already ar

ranging with the allies for a safe

conduct for the envoy. The gen

eral opinion here was that Dumba

will be recalled, but that Austria

will not Immediately appoint hla

successor. Baron Erlck Zwledenek,

counseler of the embassy, will be

made charge d'affaires, it Is be

lieved. Prompt action Is expected

from Vienna. The American re

quest to already there. An answer

within two days Is anticipated, be

cause of a probability that Austria

wishes to prevent a more grievous

rupture than already confronts the

two natlot.s.

Dumba'a passports have been pre

pared and will be forwardeo to him

as soon at Vienna's plans are

known.

German Minister, TooT

The possibility was suggested

that a similar Issue will be raised

with Berlin on account of German

Ambassador Von Bernstorffs rela

tions with Archibald, and the en

voy'a alleged interest in a German

plan to cal out German multlons

workers, as Dumba contemplated

doing with Austrians.

Archibald, upon whom were

found the telltale Dumba letters.

Is returning to America under an

emergency passport Issued by this

government, and an Investigation

of his part in the Austrian—and

perhaps German —plans will be In

stituted.

Hp was quoted this week as say-

Inc he had been made a scapegoat

by Dumbn. not knowing the con

tents of the letters he wa« carry

ing to Vienna. If he proves thla.

It Is believed the t'nlted States can

make no case against him.
