Whether this viii take the form OF

effect that on Friday German artillery

northwest of Saliniki, was Smelling

with Austria over the sinking OF the
Ancona was given setback on Fri
day when confidential information was
received in Washington as to the at
titude of the Austrian government.
The possibility Of break between the
two governments was at once revived.
The communications from Austria,
which came through diplomatic chan
nels, purport to give also an outline OF
the probable reply of the Austrian
government.
According to these advices Austria
holds that the Ancona case comes IN
the same category as the Lusitania
case, which is still the subject9f ne
gotiations between the United States
and Germany. The reason for this, 1t
is stated, is that Austria has never
given instructions to the commanders
of her submarines to observe the
rules of recognized international law
as the United States and Germany
both understand them at the present
time, which provide that vessels shall
not be torpedoed without full warning
and without provision for the safety
of every person on board.
This has come as a shock to officials
Of this government, inasmuch as 1t in

all passengers and members of the
crew to take to the boats, was acting
