So Far as the CabIed Extracts
as Are Seen by Him Are
Concerned.
NO COMMENT MADE YET
Official Text is Being Awaited
before Comment is to Be
Made Officially.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Early
today the state department had no
official word from Vienna whatever.
on Austria's reply to the Ancona
note. Secretary Lansing read the
news dispatches containing excerpts
of the Austrian rejoinder but re-
served any comment until he has
received the full official text from
Ambassador Penfeld.
The official overnight dispatches
contained no indication that the re-
ply had been delivered to Ambassa-
dor Penfield or that It was on It's
way to the United States. Ofiicial
kilograms. however. have been gen.
orally behind the news dispatches
in most of the diplomatic exchanges
with the Germanic powers because
of the difficulties Of transmission and
the long and intricate work of cod
ing and DECIDING.
President Wilson read the outline
OF the reply as contained in the Lon
don dispatches as soon as he reach
ed the executive offices but there
was no indication of how he regard
ed It.
1t was known, however, that both
the president and Secretary Lansing
regarded the cable extracts, while
they might be indicative of the whole
tone Of the reply, as too fragmentary
to warrant comment.
In official circles the general inn
preston prevails that the tenor of
the cable extracts did not seem 70
forecast favorable tone of the re-
ply as whole, still in the absence of
the full text final opinion was re-
served. Until the full text is re-
ceived and laid before the president
the situation may be described as
still In suspense. Those officials
closest to the president still are of
the opinion that thoroughly I'M
satisfactory reply from Austria will
endanger the continuance of diplo-
matte relations between the two
countries.
1t was made clear authoritatively,
however, that il the whole text of
the reply was in the same tone as
the cabled extracts it would be re-
garded by the United States MS I'M
satisfactory. 1t was made plain that
the United States will not accept the
suggestion of entering into diploma
tic correspondence which may be
prolonged.
Officials considered that the word
ing of the cabled excerpts was vague
but they felt in that connection the
possibility that 1t may have been
made vague in translation. That
point was regarded as sufficient for
reserving official comment until the
official text is at hand.
One official Of the state depart
ment, who spoke with full knowledge
Of its policy. declared positively that
the United States would not enter
into any exchange OF opinion as Aus
tria's reply suggests, and would abb
solutely refuge to enter into any dis
cussion OF the facts.

LONDON. Dec. 16.--'rhe next
move In the Balkan theater OF war

British press. There are 100000
Entente troops at Salonikl, retreat
OF the Entente Allies was 40 bril-
linntly carried out that the large
forces OF Bulgarians were unable ct
any point to overtake. and defeat
them. In mact the Bulgnrlans we're
SO deceived by tho rapidly Of the
mancuvers and the precision OF the
movements Of the Entente troops
that they lost much time In bonn
harding certain positions near
Strumltsa. which tho French force

had abandoned on the preceding
Accordin gto the correspondent Of
the Times and the Morning Post the
Entente forces will halt on the line
from Karasuli in nortehrn Greece
on the Vardar river to Kilinder,
Greece, which they will try to hold
until the saloniki positions are forth
fed. This line already Is fortified
and there ia q strong British force
to the north and northeast Of Kiln
der on the Dorian railway.
On the Macedonian front there has
set in n lull which we'll informed
observers Mt Athens believe will ex-
tend over the Greek elections OF Sun
day. The retirement Of the Anglo
French forces has ended and they
now occupy strong positions north
OF Salonlki.s where thus far their OPP
ponents have made no efforts to dis.

The German forces probably would
need some time to prepare for an as.
sault on these positions, particularly
as light artillery and mountain guns
would not stififces There Swouid Rbee
need Of heavier guns. few Of which,
y any. seem to have yet arrived near
the frontier. 4
The Entente capitals view with
satisfaction what Is regarded as the
inasterful manner in which the re-
treat was conducted, and the cone
paratively small losses OF the Allies.
1t Is believed much OF the credit for
this achievement is due, to the new
coordination among the Allies. or
which the recent Joint councils OF
war in France were only one mani
festation.
