limitations That Austria'S Re-
ply to AncOna Note will Fail
to Meet Demands Of U. S.
ANSWER EXPECTED THIS WEEK
No Counter Proposals Yet
Made That will Appeal to
Secretary Lansing.

Washington, Dec. 90 Unofficial
advices received here conformed
with limitations from abroad that
Austria's forthcoming reply to the
Ancona note will fail to meet the de-
mands of the United States, and
Teutonic diplomatic circles here
were authoratively represented as
being prepared for a break in diplo-
matte relations between the two
countries.
Various developments, it was
agreed, might avoid such an eventu-
atty. but none of the counter pro-
posals which it has been intimated
the Vienna foreign office might sd-
vance have been regarded so far az
coming within Secretary Lansing's
renewal Of the demands for disa-
vowal, reparation and punishment
of the submarine commander who
sunk the Ancona with the loss of
more than a dozen American lives.
Now that the situation, after be-
ing dormant nearly two weeks, is
again beginning to take on the
aspects of crisis. the status of the
United States over submarine war
fare, against merchantmen. not with
Austria alone, but with the Teutonic
powers as allies, is commanding at
tention.
Although Germany has given the
United States assurances that she
will conform to the principle Of visit
and search before attack, the prac-
tees against which the United
States so vigorously contended are
now being carried on by her ally.
Austria. and it has been charged that
the Austrian submarines are, in
some instances, furnished by Ger
many and in others are differed and
manned by the German navy. Such
a situation, it is pointed out,
amounts to practically a defeat of
the submarine negotiations with
Germany. Furthermore, the i'm
passe in the Lusitania negotiations
becomes factor in the situation.

MUCH LARGER SUBMARINES
Probable That Five Will Be
Built, With 1900 Tons
Displacement.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Seagoing
submarines of 1000 tons displace-
ment probable soon will he sought
for the American navy as result of
lessons learned by navy department
experts from the European war and
recent maneuvers of the Atlantic
fleet. 1t is possible that the first five
submarines included in the admins
tration's five-year building program
will approach this size, although the
estimates submitted we're based on
the l 300. ton class.
In contrast to this development of
type of giant submersible, naval
officers are inclined to believe that
the so. called coast defense boats will
be standardized at about 400 tons
displacement. The name should be.
il is asserted, harbor defense rather
than coast defense craft. as il has
been demonstrated that the sphere
of action of these boats is limited to
100 miles or less off shore.
Twenty-Five smaller submarines

istration program for this year at an
estimated cost of between 5000. O00
and 500. 900 each. The estimate
will provide for vessels of 600 to 700
tons displacement. Increasing the
