U. S. NEAR BREAKING POINT
WITH TEUTONIC POWERS.
NOTE IS UNSATISFACTORY
Together With Improper Conduct of
Envoys Creates Delicate Situa
tion— Question at Standstill.
Washington, D. C.—President Wil
son’s request for the recall of the
Austrian ambassador, Dr. Constantine
Theodore Dumba, has broadened into
a situation involving Captain Franz
von Papeu. the military attache of
Ihe German embassy; Alexander Nu
ber von Pereked, the Austrian consul
general in New York and possibly
Count von Bernstorff. the German am
bassador. The official view is that the
ambassador, although technically in
volved, is not so seriously concerned
as the military attache or the consul
general. It Is not unlikely that both
of the latter may be recalled or dis
missed from the country.
Coupled with Germany’s disappoint
ing and unsatisfactory explanation of
the sinking of the White Star Liner
Arabic, after Count von Bemstorff had
given assurances that full satisfaction
would be given if it was established
that a German submarine sunk the
ship, official Washington views the
friendly relations with the Germanic
powers strained more toward the
breaking point than ever before.
Hopes that the submarine crisis had
been safely passed and that a break
between Germany and the United
States had been avoided, were dis
placed by misgivings. Talk of the
possibility of breaking diplomatic re
lations was heard again although this
time it involved both the central pow
ers, on the theory that Austria after
having her ambassador practically
dismissed from the country might
stand with her ally in relations with
the United States.
Germany's declaration that while
she regrets the loss of Americans, she
recognizes no liability for indemnity
even if the submarine commander was
mistaken in believing the Arabic was
about to attack him. especially offer
ing to arbitrate the principle is re
garded in official circles as leaving
the whole submarine question practi
ca'lv where it was left by the Berlin
government’s unresponsive attitude
toward the Lusitania negotiations and
in remarkable contravention of the
favorable view which state depart
ment officials had been led to take by
the statements of the German ambas
sador.
1.502 Officers Lost In Two Weeks.
London.—Officers casualty lists for

the bulk of the casualties are an

wounded and 136 missing, a total of
1,502 for the fortnight. This number

nounced between May 5 and 18.
Losses of officers since the out
break of hostilities have now reached
