ENVOY'S 'DEAL' DEPLORED
Austrian Ambassador Would
Be Glvcn Passports In
Normal Times
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.
If these were ordinary limes there
rpUld be nn excellent chance thnt the
Mate, Department would &k the Aus
trian Government to recall Ambassador
Dumba, officials' here said today.
The Ambassador, according to unof
ficial information received In Wartilnir
ten, does not deny that anion the
palters seised by the Urltleh authorities
aw James F J Archibald, an American
newspaper writer arrested in Iond6n,
was a communication from the Am
bassador to the Vienna Foreign Office
dlscuaclng n. plan for calling out nil
Austrian and Hungarians employed In
ateel and munition plants In the United
mates.
The Administration Is admittedly, so un
willing to take any action that will Klve
a Buropenn belligerent an Impression of
me slightest -unneutral American leaning
as to make the State Department sure
to accept even a gemlsatlsfaclory ex.
plantation from the dual Monarchy's1 dip
lomatlc representative. It was stated on
good authority) so it was predicted the
affair would blow over.
On Jhe actual merits of tho case, how
ever, authorities on questions of diplo
matic usage said Doctor Dumbns view
that he nas quite within his rights In
the course he seems to have pursued
would , almost certainly hae made him
persona non grata In Washington
Nobody at the Whtto House or Btate
Departmept. would discuss the case, cm
cialli in adi-a'nte of fuller Information,
but It was understood Archibald's pass
port undoubtedly would be revoked, If
the British made good their charges
against him

Tho loss of n long linen duster Is be
moaned by "Mr Hgbcrt," of Holmesburg.
Ho wns of Kensington until thla morn
ing, but his experiences In this community
caused the change of address, which. In
cidentally. Is the location ot tho Houso
of Correction.
"Mr. Hgbert," while admitting that he
Is not annoyed by a permanent nddress,
claims to be a student of nature. In the
pursuit of his studies he finds it neces
sary to make considerable Investigation
and sample the things which nature helps
to create. It wus this which really
brought about his present gloom. A po
liceman noticed "Mr. Hgbert" walking
nloriir York street. Ho looked entirely
too fat for his height, nnd his stoutness
seemed to be very abrupt nnd round. As
n number of boys were following him, the
cop thought It best to question him.
But the nature student resented Inter-
rogation by tho low and gave vent to
some oratory which would have done
credit to a high school graduate. Tho
gist of his talk whr that he could go
where he pleased and that cops were a
general nuisance. Thereupon the blue
coat took him to the Trenton avenuo and
Dauphin street station.
The prisoner then Informed tho police
that ho was "Mr. Hgbert," and declared
that Christian names were superfluous In
these days of speed nnd progress. But
when "Mr. Egbert" was searched his
progress came to nn immediate halt. The
opening of his linen duster disclosed a
very healthy watermelon, which was
fastened around his waist by means of
a strap.
When "Mr. Egbert" was arraigned be-
tore .Mngtstinte Mecicary he unfolded a
lengthy vocabulary and looked profound.
But nil his talk waa Irrelevant as to his
possession of the melon. A number of
vegetables w ere found In his pockets, nnd
this Increased the suspicion thnt he might
be wanted for robbing provision stores.
The Judge expressed regrot that Buch
an intellectual man should come within
the tolls of the law, nnd In older that
"Mr. Hgbert" might have on opportunity
to Improve In mineralogy he gave him
a two months' sentence at the House of
Correction, where theie is always an
abundance of rocks of varied species
