 There was no brain development to recDisfer suffering And pretty soon nature made blank her mistake"
 He added that he conferred with five nurses and four had voted to allow Che babe to die.
 "You do not call this taking hu. man lfe2' he was asked.
 Absolutely n0t replied the man. !

 "As it iq. ! consider this was a favor Co Che race.
 "Do you think what you did is ire- ruontly doue2." he was asked.
 "Nany times. but Qu.etly. Many things SO on ir the medical business ! which are solely for good. ou, which might be condemned by so-called nor 1 aiists and seifn0med social saviOrs.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1e.- Cabied extracts from Austr.a-Hungary's an- swer to the United States govern ments note demanding disayowal of the sinking of the liner Ancona by an Austrian submerslble indicate that the reply of Austria will be regarded by the United States as unsatisfactory.
 It was said at the State Depart ment today that there will be no pro- longed exchange of opinions after Austria's note Is fully made public. The note Is in the hands of Ambassa- dor Penlield. at Vienna, and will be cabled to Washington some time to- day.
 The tenor of the extracts cabled by Ambassador Penfield criticises the American stand taken, the Austrian reply declaring the evidence in sup port of Secretary Lansing's stand is very weak. Defiance of the Austrian admiralty is in evidence throughout the note one paragraph of which op- enly declares that the commander Of the submarine which sunk the An coma was Justified in his act.
 That break In the diplomatic rcla- tions between the United States and the Austro-Hungarian government is expected was admitted by several high government officials. What course tfe United States will take cannot be fully determined. however, until the note, in iss entirety Is re- celyed from Vienna.
