WANTS ANSWER FROM AUSTRIA
United States Sends Firm Note 70
Vienna Regarding Sinking of
Italian Liner Ancona.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The United
States has sent to Austria-Hungary q
note asking for disavowal of the sub
marine attack upon the Italian liner
Ancona, assurances that such an act
punishment for the commander Of the
submarine and reparation for the
American lives lost
The communication started by cable
yesterday from the State Department
TO Ambassador Frederick C Penfeld
at Vienna, who was instructed to hand
it to the Austro-Hungarian minister OF
foreign affairs. Baron Burian- Word
Of the delivery of the note had not
been received by the department to-
night
Friendly but firm terms, it is said,
characterize the document. which is
understood to make a particular point
Of prompt assurances for the future
safety OF American lives. Austria
Hungary has never informed the
United States whether the command
ers Of its submarines had been given
instructions similar to those which the
German government gave to its COM
manders after the Lusitania tragedy.
1t is understood that the note re-
ferred particularly to the charge that
shells from the submarine killed or
wounded some passengers on the An
coma after it had halted, and asked
for an explanation on that point
In dispatching the note, Secretary
Lansing acted with the approval OF
President Wilson. 1t is stated authorig
tatively that the document, which is
described as being comparatively brief
and decidedly vigorous in tone, was so
drafted as to attempt a settlement OF
the controversy at once without bring
ing on a series Of communications
such as followed the sinking Of the Luz
sitania.
High officials are said to be Of the
opinion that the situation is one which
calls for grave consideration, the state
of affairs having become more COM
plicated since the note was dispatched
by reports of attacks on American oil
carrying vessels in the Mediterranean
presumably by Austrian submarines.

and stalked away, even before the COM
ing of the note she knew what would
happen, and what would happen not
only in this instance, but in others
like it. This would not be just losing
Dawn, bad as that waa 1t would be
paralysis and death to the school; it
would mean the leaving of every Ha-
vey boy and girl.
So she stood there, and afterward
said quietly: 'Milt, l guess you'd bet
ter CO." and Milt had gone gravely and
unquestionfngly but with that in his
eye which did not argue brightly for
restoration of peace between his house
and that of his enemy.
When the two girls had gone to-
gether into the cabin Dawn stood with
face that blanched as she began to
realize what it all meant. then slowly
she stiffened and her hands, too.
clenched and her eyes kindled.
She came across to the chair into
which the older girl had dropped list
lessly and, falling to her knees, seized
both Juanita's hands. She seized them
tightly and f1ercely. and her eyes were
blazing and her voice broke from her
lips in turgid vehemence.
Il hain't a-goin' ter leave vel" cried
Dawn. Il hain't a-goin' ter do it,
No word had been spoken of her
leaving. but in this life they both knew
that certain things bring certain re
suits, and they were expecting a note
from Bad Anse.
81 hope not, dear" said Juanita, but
without conviction.
Then the mountain girl sprang VI
and became transformed With her
rigid figure and blazing eyes she
seemed a torch burning with all the
| pent-up heritage Of her past.

swelled to fiery determination. 'Es

Juanita drew back with a start Of
distaste and repulsion. Yet she had
known this all along.
''Ye see,' she heard the missionary
saying, "thar's jest one way Anse kin

Anse Havey went to the window,
where he drank deeply Of the spiced
air. Then he began to speak again.
and this time it was in voice the girl
had never heard-a voice that held the
fire of the natural orator and that was
colorful with emotion.

How could -" demanded Juanita
hotly- How could l be friends with a

The brown-faced man looked up at

stubbornly defied
It seemed an interminable journey,
though they took the short cut of the

The house that had come down to
Anse Havey had been built almost q
century before. 1t was originally
placed in section so large that else
where it would have been a domain-a
tract held under the original Virginia
grant. Since those days much of il
had been parceled out as marriage por
lions to younger generations.
Cabins that had once housed slaves
barns, a smoke-house, an icehouse, and
small hamlet of dependent shacks
clustered about a clearing which had
| been put there rather to avoid surprise
than to give space for gardening. The
Havey of two generations ago had
been something of a hermit scholar
and in his son had lurked a diminish
passion for leadership.
The feud had blazed to it's fiercest
heat in his day and the father of BaC
Anse Bavey had been the first BaC

title as a right of heritage, and haC
been trained to wear it like fighting
