BERLIN, Dec. 17-German newspa-
pers without exception endorse fully
the Austrian reply to the American
note regarding the sinking of the An
coma. Their editorial expressions are
believed to reflect the opinion of the
German officials. The view of the
press is that Austria has shown that
there is no issue as to principles be-

been narrowed down to a conflict OF
the facts as given by the commander
OF the submarine that sank the An
coma and the facts that have reached
