MISSING GIrFf??ND
DEAD IN MEADOWS
Irene Leforgeaie Wandered
Away and Fell in Creek, Belief.
The body of Irene Leforgeais, for
whom a general alarm was sent out

ANGLO-FRENCH
BANKERS TO BE
MORGAN GUESTS
Invitations Issued for Con?
ference To-day at 36th
Street Library.
FIRST MEETING
PURELY SOCIAL
Treasury Note Loan to Great
Britain of Possibly $1.000,.
000,000 Talked Of.
With the expected arrival to day on
the steamship Lapland of the members
of the Anglo French commiggion wh:rh
ig coming here to try to arrange with
Amer,.?an bunkers a solution of the
foreign exchange difficulty, preparation?
were completed yesterday, for their re?
ception. .1 ,P. .Morgan Issued formal invi?
tation? to a numbe- of prominent finan?
ciers, including bank and trust com?
pany presidents, to meet the delegation
in his library, at 33 East Thirty-sixth
Street, at 2; 45 p. m. to-dav for a
three hour conference.
It was stated that the first meeting
would be purely of a social churacter.
but it is understood that the more seri?
ous question.? in view will be touched
upon, even if only in a cursor*! way.
The visitors mentioned in Mr, Morgan's
invitation aie: Huron Heading, Lord
chief Justice; Sir Edward Hopkinaon
Holden, managing director of the Lon?
don City and Midland Hank; Sir Henry
Babington Smith, prsaidenl of the Na?
tional Hank of Turkey; Has-.! B, Bbick
et!, of the Hritish Treasury; Octave
Homberg, of the French Foreign Office,
and Ernas! Mallst, regent of the Bank
of France.
A member of the Morgan firm denied
yesterday that tne foreign deputation
would be met by Mr. Morgan's yacht,
the Corsa;r. He a.so said that the
Hritish and French financier? would not
make their headquarter? nt any hotel
in this cltv. Further than this he de?
clined to commit himself
(hange of Sentiment.
There has been noticeable recently a
change of sentiment in the tentative
discussion? of the terms of the financ?
ing of further purchase? by the Allies
in the Cnited State?. Hankers who have
heretofore insisted that any loan of
large size be secured by collateral of
gilt edge American bonds, and possibly
bond? of South America and Canada,
have now arrived at the conclusion that
it might be better that an out-and-out
loan should be inaoe. such a? the is?
suance in tlii-; country of Hritish
trea?ury note?. Speaking along .hege
lines yesterday, a prominent banker
who has taken Bn active part in the
discussions thus far said:
"With all the immense capital re
sources this eountr*/ now has at its dis?
posal it doe? not seem to me to be
necessary for Great Britain to put jp
a large amount of collateral for a loan, '
a? some excellent bankers have thought
advisable. If we are desirous of a con?
tinuation of the huge amount of hav?
ing that has been going on for the last
v?-ar, i' appears that it is up to us to
meet the Anglo-French commission at !
liast half way.
"There is no question but that the
sympathies of most of na are with the
Allies. We feel that we cannot afford
to let Germany win in the present
war. And under these circumstances
why shouldn't we place at the disposal
cf England, France, Russia and the
other nations who are lighting against
< erman militarism a large part of our
available resources? Germany already
-eali'/eg that sentiment generally in
tiiis country is against her, and under
these circumstances if we don't lend
the proper financial aid to the Allies it
mean? that we are going to incur their
..1 will after the war is over.
"I don't see why we can't loan Great
Britain from $.r?i>0,000,000 to $1,000,
0CO.00O by selling to banks and indi?
vidual investors her treasury note?, say,
in one, two and three year denomina
tions. A? to the interest rate some
tankers believe that it should he more
than 6 per cent, but I believe that .?-e
will find it difficult to convince the
rnglish and French bankers that they1
should accept a rate higher than f>
per cent."
This banker made it clear, however,
that at the discussions which hn\e
taken place on this side no definite
conclusions have been reached. Every
offort will be made to reach an under
standing with the English and French
banker.? which will leave no doubt in
their minds of a desire on the part of
American bankers to adjust the ex?
change difficulty with as little incon
?enience as possible to all the parties
concerned.
In the Exchange Market.
Tne foreign exchange market yester- '
day reflected the probability of an I
early solution of the ?llfnculty which !
during the !a?t few months has threat-!
; ned to affect the movement of our ex- j
porta Whether it meant that the Eng?
lish and French financiers had already
li.un.l Abut they believe?! to be B BOltfl
tion of the problem, sterling rate* dis?
played more strength than for several
days. Pemand sterling ended at 4.fix,
an advance of 4 cents in the pound over
the previous close, and check? on I'uris
I francs for a dollar, compand
with Tuesday's last quoted rate of '..07.
The Improvement in sterling was at?
tributed to buying from London source.?
and to the inclination of bunkers here
to cease further offering? pending some
definite development a? ta what steps
the foreign commissioners would take
to consolidate the market situation.
In this connection it waf also learned
that there has been a cessation in the
buying of war supplies during the last
ten dft\s. This, however, ha? not been
regarded as alarming, as deliveries ar?
' 01 going ou' in large quantities, and
?- would be only natural for foreign
buyers to await the "??suif of the pend?
ing conference? before making large
new commitment?. N'cvert hele??, in
some quarters it was thought that un?
ie?? Great Britain is able to make a
satisfactory credit arrangement there
might follow a drastic curtailment of
buying orders.

THOUGHT BOMBARDEf
Total Victims of Raids Not
122 Killed and 349
Injured.
Tho nineteenth Zeppelin raid o
England Wednesday night evident]
for the first time, struck the wide!
advertised mark the heart of Londor
In spite of rigid censorship, enoug
drtails have come over the cables t
muke this certain. The exact loci
tlon where the bombs fell is not cleai
but indications are that the great busi
ness district around Trafalgar Squar
where stand* the great Nelson monu
ment, emblematic of Britain's rule o
the waves, was hard hit.
The casualties so far reported ar
?ttle above the average of previou
raids, but it is significant that no men
tion ib made of property dnmage
though after earlier mitls the officia
report has always summarized thi
item.
rhii attack brings up the total o
casualties from Zeppelin raids to 12:
killed anil ?'<???? injured.
The inference plainly drawn iron
rucli dispatche? as have passed thi
teneur is that the German aeronauti
dropped bomba on the old city of Lon
don proper, n. '.he region which con
tains the hotels, husmeas district an?:
the old landmarks famous the wor'.r
over. li. this district there are nor
mally thousands of American tourut!
at this time of the year, aithoug-^
their number i* far below the average
this summer on account of the war.
The Germans, in their Zcpplin at
tackj, have ained repeatedly at I-on
doa. They have aucceeded previously
in dropping bomba within the metro
politan district, but so far si ii known
no earlier attempt produced the effecti
oi Wednesday night's raid.
Whether or not extensive damage?
was done to property, it is apparent
that London was deeply stirred. It ?I
: if erred thr.t the bombardment waa ao
serious a? I-, arouse fears on the part
of Americans in London that thei
friends here would be alarmed, sin?
the censor allowed the statement that
there were no Americana among the
dead or wounded.
A dispatch from the ?,ondon office o?
"The Chicago Daily News," located on
Trafalgar Square, says that all there
are *ai>. Carefully worded articles in
London newspaper! conveyed a similar
intimation. "The Pall Mall Gazette"
?psaking of the raid a? "Londoners'
Arsl glimpse of the war at close quar
ters."
In speed and mobility the ZeppLrt
is no match for the aeroplane, ami its
chances of success would be small in
daylight. In consequence, these vent?
ures are usually attempted after darn
ami to prevent the raiders finding their
elaksrats police regulations and
disguise.? of the lighting system? have
been adopted in London and elsewhere
Another precaution is the censorship
regulation against publication of anv
accounts of the ra.ds other than the
official statement.
20 Killed, 86 Injured
in Heart of London
London, Sept. 9. - Twenty persons
were killed and eighty-iix Injured in
last night's Zeppelin raid. These fig?
ures were given out her* officially to?

The official statement gives the fol?

There were no Americans among tho

The raid is described bv "The Pall

Washington, ?Sept. 9.?The i

that by a sudden change, of course hi

Dr. Constantin Dumba, Austro-Hungarian Ambassador.
NOTE DEMANDING DUMBA'S RECALL.
The following note has been sent by the State Department to Ambassa?
dor I'.riield, at Vienna, to he delivered to the Minister for Foreign Affairs:
Mr. Constantin Dumbs, the Austro-Hungarian Ambaiesdor at
Washington, has admitted that he proposed to his government plans
to instigate strikes in American manufacturing plsnts engaged in the
production of munitions of war. The information reached this govern?
ment through a copy of s letter of the Ambassador to his- government.
The bearer was an American citizen named Archibald, who was travel?
ling under an American passport. The Ambassador has admitted that
he employed Archibald to bear official dispatches from him to his gov?
ernment.
By reason of the .-dmitted purpose and intent of Mr. Dumba to
conspire to cripple legitimate industries of the people of the United
States and to interrupt their legitimate trade, and by reason of the
flagrant violation of diplomatic propriety in employing an American
citizen protected by an American passport as a secret bearer of official
dispatches through the lines of the enemy of Austria-Hungary, the
President dircts me to inform your excellency that Mr. Dumba is no
longer acceptable to the government of the United States as the Am?
bassador of His Imperial Majesty at Washington.
Believing that the Irrperial and Royal Government will realize that
the government of the United States has no alternative but to request
the recall of Mr. Dumba on account of his improper conduct, the gov?
ernment of the United States expresses its deep regret that this course
has become necessary, and assures the Imperial and Royal Government
that it sincerely desires to continue the cordial and friendly relations
which exist between the United States and Austria-Hungary.

Dr. Dumba Calm at Recall;
Expected It, Says Attache
"Not the Time for Me to Talk," Austrian Ambassador Re?
plies?Goes Into Late Night Conference with
von Bernstorff at the Ritz.
"The action of Mr. Lansing and th?
State Department had heen anticipate!
and is no surprise to Dr. Dumba."
This statement, made after midnighi
at the Ritz this morning by Count vor
Hohenlohe, an attach* of the Austriar
Embassy, was the only official commeni
forthcoming from the Austrian Ambas
sador last night.
It followed a l^ng conference with
Count von Bernstoff, the German Am
hassador, with whom the Austrian
diplomat spent the evening. They were
atill in conference at an early hour thii
morning.
F'arlier in the night Dr. Dumba re?
ceived official notice from the State
Department that his recall had been
asked. This reached him at the St.
Regis. Soon after he left, ostensibly
for a motor ride. The reporters, await?
ing him in 'he hotel lobby, did not then
know of the action of the State De?
partment, though they asked him if he
had anything to say.
"Thi?," he declared, as he bruihed
by them to the waiting motor, "is not
the time for me to talk."
From the Si He.::* I ? r Dumba went
to the Ritz, where (ount von Bernstoff
was waiting for him. The two went
for a drive through the park, return?
ing to the Ritz at about 9 o'clock. Thia
was before the newspapers had been in?
formed of Secretary Lansing's action.
The Germ?n Ambassador then said
there was nothing for him to discuss.
"If ?t interests you," he added as an
i afterthought. "I am not going to be
here to-morrow. It is too hot for me
. here. I am going to my summer place
' on Long Islam!."
Soon after the news of Mr. Lansing's
action had become public the St. Regu
waa besieged by reporters seeking Dr.
Dumba. All were told that he could
not b- >een. Later they were told he
had retired for the night and under
no circum'tanees could be disturbed.
Bails thi? morning the hotel people
were iniiating that he was in and could
not be disturbed.
Dr. Dumba spent r.ost of yeaterday
in his apartment* at the hotel with his
aids and hia eecretartea To all call?
ers except those wnorn he hatl arranged
to meet he wai "out." The favored
ones were in?tructed to go directly to

Count von Bernatorff was more in |
evidence until early evening, when Dr. I

conference

n ? T H .-?au
Washington, Sept. 9.?The Aus?
tro-Hungarian government has been
asked by President Wilson, through
the American Ambassador at Vi?
enna, to recall Dr. Constantin T.
luimba, ftmhnnsador to the United
States. Thus the activities of Aus?
tria-Hungary'* envoy here in plan?
ning to hamper manufactures of wir
munitions will be brought to an end,
as was indicatetl exclusively in The
Tribune this morning.
According to international usage,
the Austro-Hungarian governm<v.
has no alternative but to call Dr.
Dumba home. "It is a general rule."
international law expert*, say, "that
no nation has a right to keep an
agent within the limits of another
without the consent of that other."
In Secretary Lansing's note to
! the Austro-Hungarian government
1 it is declared that as Dr. Dumba's ad
t nutted plsn to instigate striken hi
' American munitions plants engaged
; in the production of munitions of
war constituted a conspiracy to crip
1 pie legitimate industries in thli
country he no longer was acceptable
: to this country. Further, the not?
calls Dr. Dumba's employment of an
American citizen to carry dispatches
, to Austria a flagrant breach of dip?
lomatic propriety. Consequently, he
was "no longer acceptable" to this
country. This is equivalent to ask?
ing that he e recalled.
The request for Dr. Dun.ba's re
recal! ha? probably already been
presented by Ambassador Penfield to
Count Burian. the Austria-Hun?
garian Minister of Foreign Affairs
?the same man to whom Dr. Dum?
ba's letter telling of his plans for
strikes in the ammunition plants
here was addressed.
No Further Trouble Eipected.
The government'? action created *
?eniation here to-night. In omcls'i
circle* it waa declared that the po*l
! tive stand of Preaident Wilaon and
Secretary Laming would have s ialu
?iry effect on the relations between
thu country and Germany. It ii the
first draatic atop that the Preiident
has taken ??nee the war began.
In some quarter? it wa? aaee.-ti
that the Austrian government would
take umbrage and cither hand paai
port? to Mr Penfleld or declina to All
Pr. Dumba's place, but no auch action
is anticipated by the Pr?sident and
Secretary Laming.
Should the Austrian government fir
any reason decline to recall Ambas??
dor Dumba. Secretary Lansing will
haml him his pasaporta, and thus com?
pel him to leave the I'nited State?
Thu would crea'? a rather tenit litu
e'lcn between Austria and the United
Statei, but ssither President Wilaou
nor Secretary Lansing believe that th?
Auatnan government will allow thi
controversy to proceed that far.
Coincident with the sending of th?!
instruction* to Ambasaadot- l'en ft ?Id.
Dr Dumba wai furnished with a copv
of the note. This is in accordan-e
with diplomatic usage, and is. equiva?
lent to a notification that the Iniud
States can no longer deal with him as
the representative of his government,
but will be obliged to communie?'?
with his government through other
channel?.
No Hint on Hernatorff.
No intimation was given by the State
Department as to whether or not simi?
lar action would be taken in the case
of I'ount von Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, whose activities in urging
Germar.s to leave ammunition plants
were outlined in The Tribun? this
morning.
Thus far no evidence has been pro?
duced to show that the (?erman am
baanador haa endeavored to Inatigate
, atrikea, but it ia understood here bla
work ha.? been perilously close to this
line.
Clos? watch haa been kept by the
special sgonti of the Department of
Justice on the activities of both Am?
bassadors Dumba and Bernstorff, espe?
cially on the "wag? bureau" backed by
Count von Bermtorff. where money
waa paid to men who had quit work at
munitions plants. An official of th"
department explained that thu watch
was being kept to determine if any law
waa being violated.
A man in close touch with th? de?
partment said to-day that enough evi
dence had bteen furmehed to th? State
Department several time? to ha*?
