AUSTRIA LS
 DEFIANT N|'Il|''
Statement Opposes DiGayow1i aassa,. Approves the Sinking .of tiie
 AHcOna.

Vienna, Dee. 15.-The, Austra-hllgN- sarIan Admiralty is opposed to als- dsavoWal 0. the course of the ssIss-- marine commander of the 1talIz7E steamer Anccna. 1t approves his coaa- duct fully and declared he would hsgrr~ been considered as having failed Sst perform his duty if he had alIowGsE the Ancona to escape.
 The reply ta the American nota wifS be delivered soon. The ccrresponis- ent of the Associated Press has fss1s been able to secure forcaest of tx1ss. reply, but all indications are that z. pessimistic view of the situation is justified.
 The Admiralty today stated it's cases ties as follows:
 Report Was Complete.
 It is a summarize commander duty to make a report to designate-1 base as soon as possible and the com- mander who sank the Ancona did tifis as soon as he was within wireieSs dis mentary report at Pola and accompst- nied it with his log. No examinatio,s of the crew was held because tfte commanders report was ccnsidc complete, and there was no reason G. suppose tha-. the crew could add afrs' thing.
 Duty to Destroy Ship.
 of he Lad departed without dee~ troying the Anccna, it would have been failure to do his duty, since tife- Ancona cold have notified other ships of his whereabouts. The loss of American lives is regrettabie as we'll as that Americans used a ves,- sel belonejny to a nation at war wief1 Austria-Hunsary."
 naval writer and expert said ts' the Associated Press correspondent
 'Jt shouj1 be remembered that Aus trian's f1eet is her favorite chiiG. It's hcnor and prestige are treasured Ga. the highest degree. The govern.-,eTrs might possibly yield points in a mat ter effecting the army, but disavowaf of ar act r. an Austrian naval officer is hardly tilinkable in any but abnor- nal. circumstances. I am certain tfray it would have to be very extreme case which would justify, in the eyes of all AustTians, any humiliation of a naval officer at the behest of for eign power"
 Resents United States Attitude.
 America could not injure us aucn more as an open enemy than she ffas already done. She has supplied munI- tions of war to our enemies and Be- yond doubt has prolonged the war.. which otherwise would have been oS-- CT long since Our diplomatic nnc consular officers there have beer shamelessly harried and persecueeh and have been grossly insulted by tho press. The entente has recruited soldier on American soil; submarines are constructed in American ship yards. It is true that only part wrx- made and taken to Canada for asseK bling, but the result is the same. < great number of Americans are figftf- ing with the French and British xrrn- l ies."

The tax voted at Tuesdays town
meeting was 1870 cents divided as fol
lows: SIS for schools. so for town and
% for roads. The principal item
over which there was any discussion
was over the amount TO be voted for
permanent roads. AS the state dup
licates every dollar which the towns
vote for this purpose, and as the
money expended gives employment
to the men of the town. as well as
giving the town improved roads,
many thought that 1t would be wise
to vote the limit allowed by the state,
1000 dollars. There was hand vote
and the chair was in doubt. Rep. c.
A. Peckham, who had led the fight
against the appropriation, called for
ballot on which he was joined BY
several others. The motive was
lost SO to 4S. Then $500 appropri-
alton was passed. The town voted
