said by Reuters Amsterdam CORE
spondent to have delivered to the Aus

quest for clear and final definition
Of Austro-Hungary's attitude regarding
submarine warfare.
The Amsterdam dispatch says that
according to a telegram from Vienna,
Mr.. Penfield handed an aide memoire
to the foreign minister requesting
clear and final information as to what

marine warfare and whether the as
surances given on the occasion Of the

Washington.-Amba Penfield
is acting under explicit instructions
from the State Department In request
ing the Austrian government to state
its position regarding the intensive
submarine warfare inaugurated by
Germany. Such an instruction was
sent to the ambassador more than
ten days ago and 1t is possible that
it has been reinforced in view Of the
delay in obtaining the response.

the State Department is reluctant to
sever diplomatic relations with Aus

Takes War Calmly.
On being asked what her first i'm
preston was on reaching London,
Mrs, Jones stated that when she en- :
tered the hotel she thought she was
mistaken about there being any war
at all. The hotel and restaurant
menus show little change. except for
the fact that diners are limited to
three courses and only brown bread
Is eaten ell over England. While the
country IL on rations. according to
Mrs. Jones, there is no shortage of
food. The newspapers. however, urge
economy In every issue. For a time

there Is meat In abundance Officers
are limited to spending only a certain

The most notable thing among the

ter one evening where Mary Ander-
son was acting. A picture OF 9resi-
dent Wilson was thrown on the Green

house. The Americans were told.
however, that few weeks ago tbe-
fore war was declared) 1t would have
been Kissed.
Every Dag Flag Dax.
I'VE should not complain OF an oc-
casional tag day here" said Mrs.
Jones, when every day Is nag day
in England" During a six weeks
stay flags were sold for one purpose
or another every day except one.
General Spirit Of People.
The English people seldom mention
the Germans. They seem to feel no
anger or emotion, but rather take the
war as kind OF business to be done
as well. as quickly. and cheerfully ~
possible They are far less emotional
than Americans and there Is not near
as much excitement evident among
them.
Origin Of Hun"
Tha origin Of the word Hun" APP
piled to the Germans is explained by
Mrs. Jones. During the Chinese re-
bellion in Pekin when each nation
sent over soldiers, the German en-
peror in a public speech commanded
his men to do everything as thor
oughly as the Huns would have done
it."
