The Austro- Hungarian note was re-

lie In Vienna yesterday for the first
time. Its publication there followed an
inquiry OF the United States Govern
men, as to whether II had any objec.
tons to its being given out. Secretary
replied that there were no OBJ
jec,ions so far as this Government was
concerned.
II has not yet been determined here
whether there will be a reply made to
the note. Decision on this point awaits
the return OF President Wilson from New
Hampshire.
IL was the belief here when the note
was received that il was the result Of
consultation between Berlin and Vienna.
Unofficial dispatches published to-day
confirmed this surmise. The state De-

that Turkey Is to send a similar COM
