REPLY OF AUSTRIA
Austrian Reply to Second American

PenfieId This Week.
! BY Karl w. Alderman,
United Press Staff Correspondent.

BERLIN, December 2S.-The en-
tire question of submarine warfare
as il affects the United States may
be cleared up in few days. the
United Press learned today from an
authoritative source.
The Austrian reply to the second
American note on the sinking of the
Italian liner Ancona may be hand
ed to Ambassador Penfield this
week. Assurances have come from
reliable quarters that it is salts
factory and final.
A strong party in the dual mon
archy has insisted upon friendly re-
lations with the United States. This
party apparently has the upper hand.
Government circles profess to have
little or no knowledge of the probable
contents OF the reply, but said that
Austria acted entirely independent
and without Germany's advice in
framing the reply.

LONDON. Dec. 2S.--Thc British
cabinet faced the gravest crisis of
she war when 1t convened shortly
before noon today with the conscrip-
zion issue to be decided. 1t was
currently rumored that several of
khe ministers would resign, possibly
before the day was over unless the
government agrees to some form OF
compulsory recruiting.
Lloyd George threatened to re-
sign last night.
On the other hand it was reported
in many quarters that Premier As
auth, and possibly Sir Edward
Grey, would leave the cabinet il the
anti-conscriptionists won today's
battle. In that case 1t appeared
certain that Lloyd George would be
|elevated to the premiership in the
new ministry 1t was generally be
ljeved that the issue would be de-
cided today.
