in the dual monarchy, gave this as
surance in an interview in the min

TO think of trouble between Aus
tria-Hungary and the United States is
sheer nonsense" said the Iron man
OF the monarchy. emphatically. Count
Tisza had Just returned from con
ference with the emperor at Vienna
regarding the Ancona note.
II must confess" he said, that we
were greatly surprised to get the
American note. 1t is far from our in
tention to get into any quarrel with
America Perhaps should not say
quarrel, because know it would not
be that. but OF course matters do not
depend upon US entirely
There Is no reason for any trouble
over the Ancona question II must be

the standpoint Of the United States,
but our standpoint And the only
way 10 reach settlement is through
CORES pondence which will suggest
the means.

further indication that Count
Tisza does not contemplate a break is
found in his own statement that the
dual monarchy is now occupied in
naming a new ambassador TO Wash

Ambassador Pentield also pointed
this out at Vienna. and furthermore
said that twice on the day the Aus
trian note was sent to Washington the
foreign office asked America to secure
special concessions for the monarchy
in beligerent countries.
In unofficial circles it was said that
the government was not so much op.
posed to disavowal OF the torpedoing
oi the Ancona as il was to the man
ner used by Washington in the Ameri-
can note.
The military situation. Count Tisza
said, is more than satisfactory. at

ians are unable to advance We hold
today positions we chose as first lines
and really never expected to hold. The
Italians were late in starting.
