HAMBURG PAPER
CALLS US. NOTE
CONTRADICTORY

Fambug, Dec. 16-The newspapers
Hamburg Ffemdenb1att and Ham
burger Nachrichten comment at
length on the note sent by the United
States to Austria concerning the An
coma case. The F'remdenblatt says:
1.-The note has caused extraordinary
surprise in Germany not only because
of its harsh tone but also because of
it's contradictory contents"
1t thinks, the note cannot be ex-
planned by the Immediate occasion
which gave it rise but says probably
the Presidents temperament was
strongly Influenced by general vexa-
tions such as have occurred recently,
and proposes a joint, investigation as
step toward an agreement.
The Nachrichten says it thinks the
s.gentIemen in Washington are in
correctly informed regarding the incl
dent and says that the note abandons
the position expressly taken in the
Lusitania note that a passenger ship
must not be sunk unless she is trying
to escape.
