AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR'S CONDUCT. A MATTER OF EXTREME GRAVITY. Washington, Sept; 8. M. Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador, Ms caused amazement in official circles Iby declaring that he acted on official instructions. The statement has perplexed the administration, and the question is now one between the two Cabinets. An Associated Press correspondent states that the use of a passport to shield Archibald, the correspondent who was carrying, besides 11. Dumba's letter, messages from Count Bernstorff, is regarded by President Wilson and Mr. Lansing as serious as the revelations regarding M. Dumba's letter.
Mr. Wilson conferred with Mr. Lansing relative to the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador's admission that he was acting on his Government's behalf in .seeking to induce Austrians to refuse to work in American munition factories. M. Dumba admitted that the American correspondent Archibald bore an American pass-port while acting virtually as a spy for the Austrian Government.
Mr. Wilson considers the matter of great gravity, and may demand M. Dumba's recall.
