has decided to purchase American
securities, paying for them in FIVE
year S per cent exchequer bonds.

American and Canadian securities held
in this country varied, he continued.
from three to four hundred million dol
lars to as high as seven or eight hum
dred million.
Not Worried Over Loans.

Further action by the United

>mands OF Austria-Hungary as set
forth in communication regard
ing the sinking OF the Italian liner
Ancona, the text of which is pub
lished :. in another column, now
rests with the Austrian govern
ment.
Formal demand is made in the
communication for a prompt de-
nouncement OF the sinking of the
Ancona by an Austrian subma-
rine, punishment of the subma-
rine commander and reparation
for the American citizens killed
or injured.
Week Will Be the Limit.
The note clearly indicates that a break
in the diplomatic relations between the
two countries will follow failure of the
Austro- government to redress
the acts of the submarine commander,
which are to be declared to be illegal and
indefensible. a week at most probably
will lie given Austria Hungary to accede
TO the United States demands.
Meantime. administration officials are
awaiting with keen interest some word
from Vienna indicating how the COM
runicAtion was received by the Austrian
government, and the effect 1t may have
had upon public opinion in that country.
The text Of the note was presented to the
Austrian foreign Office Thursday by Am
bassador Penfield
In ofhcial and diplomatic circles the
communication is regarded as being
the most emphatic declaration to come
from the United States government
since the beginning of ms European
war. No attempt is made to conceal the
fact that unless the demands a.e quick
1y complied with diplomatic relations
between the two countries will lie in
grave danger of being severed.
The situation between the two coun :
tries is complicated BY the facts which
have been brought to the attention OF
the State Department in connection
with the investigation Of Austrian
consular and diplomatic officials. These
cases. including Alexander Won Nuber.
