Vienna, Dec. 16.-The Austro- Hun
garian admiralty is entirely opposed
to any disavowal of the course of the
submarine commander who was re-
sponsible for the sinking of the Ital-
ian steamer AncoAa. On the con-
trary it approves his conduct fully
and declared that he would have been

Ancona to escape The reply to the
American note, it is understood, will
be delivered soon. The correspondent
OF the Associated Press has not been
able to secure a forecast Of tho terms
of the reply. but all indications are
that pessimistic view of the situa-
ton is justified. The admiralty stat
ed Its case and the attitude OF the
naval authorities briefly as follows:
A high Berlin official declares the
United States note to Austria on the
sinking of the Ancona is an insult.
Nothing like it, he asserts, has been
sent by one nation to another prior
to the present controversy.
The Austrian admiralty fatty re-
fuses to hedge on the responsibility
for the sinking of the Ancona. In a
communication made public in Vienna
the naval heads asserted the COM
mander Of the submarine not only did
his duty, but did 1t well.
1t has been decided that the Ques-
ton Of breaking off OF diplomatic re-
lations rests with Washington.
Several French editors comment on
the firmness of the note to Austria
contrasted with the tone Of notes sent

Susan began to pick up, as they say,
the day after the arrival at Atlantic
City, due, doubtless, to the cessation
of the poison she had been taking
unawares. The two young women be-
gan to enjoy life for the first time
since they had left Miss Farlow's.
They were up with the sun every day
and went to bed tired but happy. No
one bothered them If some stray re-
porter encountered their signatures on
the hotel register, he saw nothing to
excite his reportorial senses. All this,
of course, was due to Norton's policy
of keeping the affair out of the pa
pers.
Following Jones orders, they made
friends with none. Those about tho
hotel-especially the young men
when they made any advances were
politely snubbed Every night Flor
ence would write to her good butte:
to report what had taken place dur
ing the day, and he was left to Judge
for himself if there was anything to
arouse his suspicious. He, of course,
believed the two were covertly guard
ed by the detective he had sent after
them.
When Braine called up Olga he
found his doctor there.
We'll, what's the news?'' he asked.
II had better run down and inquire
how the young lady is progressing"

with growing terror.

and remain there for the present." he
ordered. II must see Miss Hargreave

He opened the door and Susan
passed out bewilderedly. He returned
to Florence, who was even more bewil-
dered than her companion. The doc
tor began to ask her questions; how
she slept, if she was thirsty, felt pains
in her back. She answered all these
questions vaguely. Not the slightest
suspicion entered her head that she
was being hoodwinked. Why should
she entertain any suspicion? This
doctor, who seemed kindly and benev-
olent, who had prescribed for Susan
and benefited her, why should she
doubt him?
In heavens name, tell me what is
the matter?" she pleaded
"Stay here for a little while and
