ULTIMATUM
TO AUSTRIA
Must Pay Indemnity for Kill
ing and Injuring Innocent
Americans.
''WANTON SLAUGHTER"
Diplomatic Relation Between
Two Countries in Danger Of
Being Severed.
''WANTON SLAUGHTER

Washington, Dec. 13.-The text Of
the American note to Austria-Hun-
gary regarding the sinking of the
Italian steamship Ancona, made pub
lie tonight, reveals a formal demand
by the United States for prompt de-
nouncement of the illegal and in
defensible" act; for punishment of
the submarine commander, and for
reparation by the payment of indem-
nifty for the killing and injuring of
innocent American citizens.
These demands follow statement
informing Austria-Hungary that
'the good relations of the two
countries must rest upon a common
regard for law and humanity" The
note arraigns the shelling and tor
pedoing of the liner as ''inhumane, "
'barbarous." and a "wanton
slaughter" of helpless men, women
and children"
In official and diplomatic circles
the communication is regarded as
being the most emphatic declaration
to come from the United States
government since the beginning Of
the European war. No attempt is
made to conceal the fact that unless
the demands are quickly complied
with, diplomatic relations between
the two countries will be in grave
danger of being severed.

skulked behind a barrier of lime bar
| rels and overheard all that passed and.
when Alan had ducked smartly into
the unfinished building, rose and stole
| after him with footsteps as noiseless
as a cats and a face that had the saw
agery of tigers when it was tran
silently revealed in a shaft of moon
light
At length Alan gained the gridiron
of girders on a plane with the lighted
window across, the way, and crept
along one of these, gingerly on his
hands and knees, until he came to its
end and might, if he cared to, look
down hundred feet to the sidewalks.
That view, however, did not tempt;
he kept his eyes level; and was re-
warded with bare glimpse of a pref
tily-papered wall, framed in the lace of
half-drawn curtains
And of sudden-whether through
fortuity, or instinct, or the psyche
logical attraction of his steadfast con-
centration-the tenant of the room
came to the window and stood there
for little, looking pensively out, alto
gether unconscious of the watcher in
his aerial coign.
Again a horrible uncertainty har-
assed him. Was the woman Rose
or Judith? That she was one of these
he could plainly see. But which? Dared
he assume his hopes fulfilled?
With difficulty he detached his
hungry vision from her, and drawing
from his pocket a small notebook, tore
out blank page, placed this fat on
the girder, found a pencil, and with
the assistance of a ray or two of
moonlight scrawled a message of al
most stenographic brevity.
When he looked up from this task,
she had vanished
Sitting up, astride the girder, he
took his watch-a cheap affair he had
picked up when reclothing himself in
the garments Of civilized society, at
Providence, that morning the
back Of the case, and closed It upon
the folded message
Then drawing back his arm, he
breathed silent prayer to the god of
