EeDly Will Avert Break in Rotations of Two Govern
 ments.
CHARGE ZWIEDINEk
 TALKS TO LANSING
Austrian Government Will Admit That Ii E.ifehoats Were Fired Upon. Act is Ir,lesrnSibIc-Nop t0 Effect
 Compromise.

Washington, ncc 13.-Aftcr a con ference today between Haron ZWiedi- nek. Austrian charge de affaires, and Secretary of State Lansing, on the American protest to Austria in the Ancona case, high officials of the de- partment indicated that Austrias re- ply will avert a break between the two governments They intimated:
 First, that Austria has decided to make her reply in the form of com promise. with important concessions to the United States.
 Second. she will maintain that the essential duty of the submarine com mander was performed when he fired warming shot to halt the Ancona.
 Third. Austria will contend that it is a question. inasmuch as the vessel tried first to escape, whether she was not responsible herself for subsequent occurrences.
 Fourth. that whether or not she was responsible, the firing on the ships boats, if officially proved, was inde- fersible, and the Austrian government coincides with the view of the United States that the act and it's conse- uuences were contrary to the prlncl- ples of civilized warfare.
 Austrian Sought Interview.
 The interview with Secretary Lan- sing. it was admitted officially, was on the Ancona case and other ntat- ters. 1t vas sought by Baron Zwied- inck. This was regarded as clear evi- | l. I,o or1 ernment after it's receipt of the pro- test.
 It is understood that Austria has made, in fact, what might be called preliminary communication on the United States protest. It was noted that after the call of the charge de affaires, officials declined to comml themselves on the question of this government prescribing a limit O time. in which Austria must reply.
 Yesterday it was indicated that th' United States was demanding all m mediate reply as the protest was es sentially an nltimatum. It was 1ndl cated yesterday also by officials tha Austria was expected to present bold front to the American demands and that she would get the backing Germany. It was pointed out today however, that in the protest the Unit cd States had stated that German. herself had accepted the United States views as to submarine warfare, ant that, therefore. Austria could expec no moral support from her ally. | was intimated by officials of the de partment that Germany's two recen acts as to the recall of her two at tachcs and the disavowal Of Fran yon Rintelin demonstrated that sh' would rather induce Austria elthe' to yield or to compromise if possible
