 Although there are many persons who doubt that the Germans purpose to rest on their laurels m the near east for the time being and that they will make a bid for victory on the western front, persistent reports come from Holland of the concentration of German armies in Belgium and Lux emburG with the intention of striking "a blow as soon as the ground per mits of it.

AUSTRIA MAKES ID NOTE
 ON THE ANCONA
Republican A. P. Leased wireI

LONDON. Dee. iG.-The reply of th@ Austria Hungarian government 10 the not, from the United States relative to the sinking Of the steamer AucCpa by an Austrian submarine. was handed to Frederick C. PcnfieiG, United States ambassador at Vienna. oH Tuesday, according to d dispatch from Amstcr- dam to Reuters Telegram company. The message continues.
 The note says that from the sharp ness with which the government of the United States believes it ought to cen sure the commander of the submarine and from the firmnesS with which the demands addressed to the Austru- Hum eaIian government appear to have been brought forward. if could be expected that the American government would clearly give the actual circumstances upon which il relies. As can be eaSjiy recognized thc representation of the circumstances contained in tho note allows numerous doubts and gives mot at all sufficient reasons for bl1minS the commander of tEe submarine and 1h" NUStTo- Hungarian government. even If the presentation proves cor rect it. all points and judgment in the ease is based on the most rigorous le- gal interpretation.
 "Thc American government also omitted to indicate the persons to who's" statements fl refers and to whom il apparently believes it must attribute higher dc2rea or truStWor- thiress thau a commander ol the im- perial royal navy.
 As to the number names and the details concerning the fate of the American citizens. who in the critical moment, were aboard the above men ti"Eed steamer, the note does not give any explanation But. in view of the fact that the Washington cabinet now has given u positive declaration that at the above mentioned incident sub jects Of the United States came to grier the Nustro-H Hungarian government in principle k prepared to enter into an exchange of opinion with the American government But in the first instance il must raise the question of why this government Tetrained from iltridicially note with regard to the spccil. circum- stances Of the discriminating incident. which are especially pointed out by the American gov ernmcnt. and in the place of such motivation mentioned an eN- change of corresl ondencc which it had with another government about anoth- er affair

 "It is q submarine commanders duty to make a report tu designated base as soon as possible and the comman- der who sank the Ancona did this as soon as he was within wireless distance of land He made a supplementary report at Pola and accompanied il with his los. No examination Of the crew was held because the commanders re- port was considered complete and there was no reason to suppose that the crew could add anything thereto.
 So far as the commander is con cerned. his course is clear The admi- ralty has received his report and sees no reason to find any fault with his course of action
 If any such reason existed: that is. if tFe admiralty had found that the commander had done anything con- trary to its instructions, il would spon- taneously institute an inyestigdtion against him without waiting for any demand to come from foreign govern ments.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 15.-United States Inspectors who quizzed officers of the Great Northern steamer Min nesOta for five hours today aboard the vessel, said tonight they were convinced that failure of the steam CTS boilers off the Mexican coast had not been caused by German spies or mutinous sailors. The exact cause of the continued bursting of the boiler tubes since shortly after the vessel left Seattle November 14 until it was forced to turn back in tow nearly two weeks ago, was left unsettled to- night, as the temperature of the boilers had not abated sufficiently to permit an interior inspection.
