  3. Dr. Dumba was declared persona non grata by the U.S. government on 8 September 1915 and left the United States on 5 October; however, his appointment ended formally first a month later.
  4. Count Tarnowski von Tarnów was named ambassador following Dumba's expulsion and arrived in 1916 to Washington D.C., but never presented his credentials to President Wilson. His name therefore does not appear in the U.S. records where the legation was led by Erich Freiherr Zwiedinek von Südenhorst as chargé d'affaires until the embassy was closed and diplomatic relations were broken off on 8 April 1917. However, United States did not formally declare war on Austria-Hungary until 7 December 1917.
