Second Note to Austria in An
coma Case Made Public.
QUOTES OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Declares Admissions Made in Vienna
Note of Nov. is Are Sufficient
to Fix Responsibility.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The reply of
the United States to Austro- Hungary's
note on the destruction of the Italian
liner Ancona follows:
1.-The government of the United
States has received the note of your
excellency relative to the sinking of
the Ancona, which was delivered at
Vienna on Dec. Is, 1915, and trans
mitted to Washington, and has given
the note immediate and careful con-
sideration.
ION Nov. Is, 1915, Baron Zwiedinek,
the charge daffaires of the imperial
and royal government at Washington.
transmitted t, the department of
state report of the Austro- Hungarian
admiralty with regard to the sinking
of the steamship Ancona, in which it
was admitted that the vessel was tor
pedoed after engines had been stop
ped and when passengers were still
on board.
WiIIfuIIy Violated Law.
"This admission alone is, in the
view of the government of the United
States, sufficient to fix on the COM
mander of the submarine which fired
the torpedo the responsibility for hav-
ing willfully violated the recognized
law of nations and entirely disregard
ed those humane principles which
every belligerent should observe in
the conduct of war at sea. In view Of
these admitted circumstances the gov
eminent of the United States feels
justified in holding that the details of
the sinking of the Ancona, the weight
and character of the additional testi-
mony corroborating the admiralty's
report, and the number of Americans
killed or injured are in no way essen
tial matters of discussion. The cul-
pability of the commander is in any
case established, and the undisputed
fact is that citizens of the United
States were killed or wounded or put
in jeopardy by this lawless act.
Insists on First Demands.
"The rules of international war and
the principles of humanity which were
thus willfully violated by the COM
mander of the submarine have been
so long and so universally recognized
and are so manifest from the stand
point of right and justice that the
government of the United States does
not feel called on to debate them and
does not understand that the imperial
and royal government questions or
disputes them.
1.-THE government of the United
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial
and royal government responsible for
the act of it's naval commander and
to renew the definite but respectful
demands made in it's communication
of Dec. 6, 1915. 1t sincerely hopes that
the foregoing statement of it's posi-
ton will enable the imperial and royal
government to perceive the justice of
these demands and comply with them
in the same spirit of frankness and
with the same concern for the good
relations now existing between the
United States and Austria-H Hungary
which prompted the government OF
the United States to make them"

House Of Commons Grants Request Of
Premier Asoujth,

London, Dec. 22.-Moving in the
house of commons a new vote for an
additional million men Premier As
quith made general survey of the
ever widening theater of war and the
increasing responsibility placed on
this country for providing arms and
men.
Great Britain, he said, already has
a fighting force in the various thea
tiers of 100000 men, and as the vast
age is enormous the country must
sim at getting every man of military
age who is physically qualified.
A large proportion of the wounded,
the premier said, was able to return
to duty, but in addition to keeping up
the present armies to their normal
strength men are wanted for new for

AS, O24 Motor SITS Register Machines.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 23.-When the
registration of automobiles for 1915
closed yesterday the records in the
office of w. S. Allen, secretary of state,
showed 145, O24 cars owned and oper-
ated in Iowa during the year. The
total fees collected by the department
amount to 81, 1893, 3O6.67.
There was an increase of 1897 au-
tomobiles in Iowa, compared with the
records of 1914. The total number of
cars registered last year was LOG, OS7.
While the last automobile plate is
sued this year was 152,O24, it is nee
essary to deduct 1000 from that num-
Der to get the net number of cars, as
the first 1000 numbers were reserved
for motorcycles.
There were 7,O49 motorcycles regis
tered in 1915.
While technically purchasers of au-
tomobiles are expected to register cars
for 1915 which are purchased before
Jan. 1, 1916, the state department ceas-
ed yesterday to require further regis
tration for this year.
However, the record of fees collected
for 1915 will not be closed until Dec. 81.
The collection so far this year are ST.
500, 3O667 Fees now are piling up in
the office at the rate of $4,000 a day,
30 that the total collections for the
year will reach 81, 500, 600, the officials
predict.
The total collections for 1914 were
81, O4O, 1854. Therefore, the receipts
this year are expected to be at least
half million more than for last year.
W. S. Allen, secretary of state, ex-
poets the registration for 1916 to reach
l75, 900 cars. So far the department
has registered %, OS9 cars for next year
This is IL, BIG ahead of the mark at the
same time last year. Automobile own
ers are being urged to send in their
fees and request for plates before Jan.
/, in order to aid the department in
handling the business.
Beginning Jan. LIST the state will op-
crate under the new automobile regis
tration law. The number plates will
be good for three years. Auto owners
will be required to register cars before
April /, 1916, to escape paying penal
ties for being delinquent.
