that instead of heading toward the
submarine as charged, he simply
swung around -broadside to show his

was no excuse for shooting, no ex-
cuse for holding him up and certainly
no excuse for robbing him.
The United States demands in be-
half of the owners of the tanker
reparation and the usual disavowals
and apologies for the insult to the
American flag and honor. Austria
will concede all that Us demanded
even though there may be several
links of notes before this shall be
done. Declaration of war with Aus
tria would be little more than mean
ingless and it is certain Austria will
conform to the German submarine

Vigor of phrase and directness OF

cote of the United States to Austria

by contemporary, the submarine
commander cooked up story OF that
occurrence in which the supplies that
he seized were stated to have been
freely given by the captain OF the
American ship. Every. element OF
duress was denied. The report from
the captain is of another color. II
shows the submarine commander per-
forming the usual piratical feats
that were characteristic of the sub.
marine gentry before the remuneration
of this weapon of piracy by the Ger:
mans. -
The story is familiar one ane
needs no reciting. The captain wa:
held up under FIRE and was coerces
into giving up his supplies. He show:
