suspicion which was growing steadily
stronger in their minds today, the
action of German sea captains both

fact that whenever there has been an

particular point the excitement incl

taken advantage of for an actual at

the latter port. we're about TO under

papers. Then. with attention centered
on New York. the Odenwald made its
sensational effort to get away from
San Juan. Porto Rico. AS result of
this situation, collectors at ports
where there are German vessels have
received instructions to be especially
vigilant at moment OF excitement not
at their own ports, but elsewhere
Washington authorities did not say
whom they suspected OF managing this
supposed campaign, but IL was gener-

on the subject and were keeping a
sharp watch TO check-mate every

ultimatum to Austria that win mean
war.
Government officials received the an
nouncement without comment There
was no intimation that any attempt
would be made 10 prevent the war
meetings, though it was hinted that a
statement might be issued later in the
day. Il was pointed out that no ar
were made for meeting at

Crown Prince has emphatically vetoed
the proposal TO cede any portion of
Austrian territory to Italy. The
crown prince has just returned from
the eastern battle front. according to
the correspondent. He declared that
the Austrian army would regard such
a surrender as more humiliating than
a defeat by Italian arms on the dbattle
field.

country TO be on the alert. insisted
today that efforts TO win over Franz
