Washington, Dec. 14.-The text OF

formal demand by the United States
for prompt announcement of the I'll
legal and indefensible" act, for pun
ishment of the submarine command.
er, nd-for reparation by the pay
ment of indemnity for the killing and
injuring of innocent American citi-
zens.
These demands follow statement
informing Austro-Hungary that the
good rele tions of the two countries
must rest upon common regard for
law and humanity"
The note arraigns the shelling and
torpedoing of the liner as '1nhumane,
barbarous,' and a "wanton slaughter"
of helpless men, women and chill
dren."
In official and diplomatic circles
the communication is regarded as be-
ing the most emphatic declaration to
come from the United States govern
ment SINCE the beginning of the Eu,
ropean war. 1t is in effect an ulti-
matum. as no loophole is left for ne
gotiations on the subject. Consider
alton of the text OF the note over

awaited indicating how the communi-
cation was received by Vienna and
what effect 1t might have upon pub

course the United States will pur-
sue is understood to have been de-
cided upon. The issue is clearly de-
fined. A reasonable time will be CIV
en- Austria-Hungary in which to re-
ply to the communication before fur

The word Prompt" as used in the
note is understood to mean that
