Grey REPLIES
TO PETITION OF
.AUSTR0-HUNCARY
Foreign Affairs secretary
Speaks Warmly in His Let
ter to L. S. Ambassador

London, Jan. n.-Sir Edward Grey, Sec
rotary of state for foreign affairs. finds
opportunity for some plain speaking re-
garding the Austro-German submarine
warfare in letter to the American am
bassador, Walter Fl. Page. replying to a
request from the Austro- Hungarian gov
eminent that special pains be taken to
insure the safety of certain Austro-Hun-
garian subjects who are being repatriat-
ed from Indian Oh the steamship Col
conda.
Grey's Reply
The request is embodied in a petition
from Austro- Hungarian subjects which
the AustrO-H hungarian government en-
dorses. Sir Edward Grey replies:
Some of the requests of the petition
have already been conceded as matter
of course. With regard to that portion
of the petition which asks that special
precautions be taken to prevent danger
to the lives of the Golconda passengers
by submarine attack, / feel bound to ex-
press my astonishment that the Austro-
hungarian government themselves. one
of the authors of the danger, should
have thought il seemly to endorse this re-
quest.
Not content. however. with doing this,
the Austro-Hungaran government fur

esty's government responsible for the

Il am at loss to know why better

entitled to protection from submarine
attack than other non-combatants. But
however that may be, the only danger
of the character indicated which threat
ems any passengers on the Golconda is
one for which the ro-Hungarian
and German governments alone are re-
sponsible. 1t is they only who carry
on the novel and inhuman form Of war
fare. which disregards all hitherto &C
cepted principles Of international law
and necessarily endangered the lives of
non-combatants.
BY asking for special precautions to
protect one of their own subjects on
board British merchant vessel, the
Austro-Hungarian government recognize
what is the inevitable consequence of
their submarine policy and admit that
the outrages whereby the Lusitania, the
Persia and numbers of other ships have
been sunk without warning were not
the result of casual brutalities of the
omcers OF the enemy submarine. but
part of settled and premeditated plan
OF the governments they serve.
1T is needless to add that His Majes-
Tvs government do not propose to take
any precautions on behalf of Austro-
hungarian subjects which they do not
take on behalf Of their own and that

"s enemies. the responsibility must
rest solely with those who have made
such attacks part of their ordinary
methods of warfare.
The proper and sufficient protection
from this danger is that Austria. Hun.

ordinary rules Of humanity in their
| methods Of warfare"
