SINKING Of ANCONA
CAUSES TROUBLE
PROSPECTS OF A SATISFACTORY
SETTLEMENT WITH AUSTRIA
GIVEN A SETBACK.
Austria Holds That the Aneona Case
Comes In the Same Category as the
Lusitania Case, Which is Still the
Subject Of Negotiations

Washington. The prospect of sat
lsfactory settlement of the controversy
with Austria over the sinking Of the
Ancona was given g. setback on Fri
iaX when confidential information was
received in Washington as to the at
titude of the Austrian government.
The possibility of break between the
two governments was at once revived
The communications from Austria,
which came through diplomatic chan
aels, purport to give also an outline of
the probable reply of the Austrian
government
According to these advices Austria
holds that the Ancona case comes in
the same category as the Lusitania
case, which is still the subject of ne
gotiations between the United States
and Germany The reason for this. it
is stated, is that Austria has never
given instructions to the commanders
of her submarines to observe the
rules of recognized international law
as the United States and Germany
both understand them at 1.-The presen
time, which provide that vessels shall.
not be torpedoed without full warning
and without provision for tbs safety
Of every person on board.
This has come as a. shock to officials
of this government, inasmuch as it in
dieates that the commander, in torpe.

Stockholm Delighted over what
they described as their sympathetic
reception in Sweden, the members of
the Henry Ford peace party on Mon
day considered the possibility of re-
turning to Stockholm, instead of re-
naming at The Hague, when a perma-

Many prominent citizens of Stock

cred an unofficial invitation to the
expedition to make Stockholm the
center of such peace negotiations as
may arise The Ford delegates an
nounced on Monday that the plan had
been considered favorably, but they
would withhold final decision on II.
The entire expedition. however, will
go to Copenhagen and The Hague,
as already has been planned At The
Hague three or more delegates from
each country will be selected, and
this board, constituting Mr.. Ford's
idea OF permanent arbitration board,
will sit indefinitely either at The
Hague or in Stockholm.
Mr.. Ford on Monday sent q wire
less dispatch from the steamer ON
which he is bound for New York. He
said he was improving In health and
wished success for the expedition.
The permanent board, the dispatch
added, would be backed by Mr.. Ford

Washington. Unofficial advices re-

nations from abroad that Austria's
forthcoming reply TO the Ancona note

authoritatively represented as being
