which American citirens were known
to have embarked.
While it was realized that reports
expected from consular and diplomatic
representatives might show that the
submarine commander was justified in
sinkig the vessel, officials were not
inclined to minimize the gravity of the
situation confronting the United States

dangers, it was admitted, threaten the
relations between the United States
and the central powers, which seem

Copenhagen.-About one-third of the
members of the Ford peace expedition,
the majority of whom are students,
will leave the party at Copenhagen.
The remaining members, about 100
Americans, are going to The Hague.
The reason assigned for the students

AUSTRIAS LAST REPLY
ON ANcONA CASE SATISFIES
Note Admits Persons on Board Ships
Should Be Saved-Agrees to Pay
For Lives of All Lost.

Washington. reply to the
Ancona note not only meets the car
,dinal points of the American demands,
but gives assurances for the future
which are considered more satisfac-
tory in their extent than those which
were given by Germany.
It may be stated authoritatively
that danger of rupture of diplomatic
relations has passed, and the contro-
versy now enters the same stage as
the Lusitania negotiations with Ger
many, on even a more favorable basis.
Would Save Passengers.
Austria, in the Ancona case, has sub
scribed to the principle that no ships
would be sunk until they offer resist
ance or flee, without the persons on
board being brought to safety. This
is considered an assurance that is far
reaching and satisfactory.
Germany only promised not to at
tack "1iners" until the persons aboard
had been placed in boats. The extent
of the designation liners never has
been cleared up. and the American
government has not conceded that
placing persons in boats necessarily
insures their safety.
Points which Austria leaves for fur
ther diplomatic correspondence are not
considered of nature to bring on a
new crisis. Chief among them are
questions of fact which affect Aus
trials responsibility for what happen
ed before the submarine commander
torpedoed the Ancona. Their import
ance is minimized by the promise t
pay indemnity for Americans lost re

Just how they met their death.
Commander Punished.
The mere statement that the sub
marine commander had been Furnishes
for not making allowance for the pani
on the ship undoubtedly will be az
cepted without question and withou
further inquiry as to its nature.
A feature of the case which has a.
tracted wide attention in official an
diplomatic quarters is the apparen
similarity of the proceedings in tn
-Ancona case with those in the LUIS
tania controversy.

Thomas Gray, author of the "Elegy' had a weakness in the form of a nerV. ous dread of fire. His chamber at St Peters college, Cambridge, being on tbe second floor, he thought 1t likely that in case of a fire his exit by the stairs might be cut off. He therefore caused an lrou bar to be fixed by arms projecting from the outside of his win dow, designing by a rope attached thereto to descend in the event of a fire occurring. This excessive caution led to q practical joke by his fellows One midnight party of students thundered at his duOr with loud cries of Fire, tire." The nervous poet flew to his window and slid down the rope to the ground, where he was hailed with shouts of laughter. Gray's dell cate nature was so shocked by this rough joke that he changed his lodg- ngs.

 But the Moon suddenly plotted the smile from his face. "We will not trouble ourselves" he declared. "These lovers are the same two who walked the garden paths but yesternight And. for all we did our best to please them, what did they in return? They spoke no word of my beauty - either of them"
