AUSTR|A'S REPLY
LEAVES OPEN DOOR
Note Defends German U.boat
War but Is Couched in
Friendly Terms.

Washington. March C.--.Au.t1ias
reply to the American request for n
clearer definition of her attitude in
the submarine situation was stated Of
ficially here to-day to leave the door
open for further negotiations, delaying
temporarily q: least the break which
has been regarded as inevitable since
the severance of relations between the
United States and Germany.
Although in substance the long com
munication upbolds and defends the
unrestricted warfare waged by Ger
many, 1t is couched in most friendly
terms and points out that Austrian
submarines solely are operating in the
Adriatic and tho Mediterranean, and
therefore an encroachment on Amer
lean interests hardly is to be feared"
There will be reply 10 this note and
unless an overt act precipitates the
rupture both sides apparently desire to
avoid the United States probably will
not be inclined to force tho issue for
the present.
Tho truth is that Germany is credited
here with trying to force Austria to n
step which that country does not wish to
take. Germany naturally wishes, it is
pointed out, to have the complete moral
support of her allies to the submarine
with Austria TO that end.
Austria. therefore, is placed in the
delicate position of either sacrificing the
manifest benefits she receives from the
continuance of diplomatic relations with
this country or Of appearing not fully
to support her ally. As result 1t is be-
lieved that she has made her reply to
this country as strong an endorsement
Of Germany's position as possible with
out at the same time making it i'm
possible for the United States to con-
tinue the negotiations.
This opinion Is based not only on
dispatches from Ambassador Penfield at
Vienna but on the whole length aud spirit
Of the Austrian note.
London, March 6.-Thc American am
bassador at Vienna has been handed the
reply of the Austrian government to the
American note inquiring as to the posi-
ton of the Austrian government in re-
gard to unrestricted submarine warfare.
according to a Vienna dispatch to Reuters
by way of Amsterdam. The reply declares
that neutrals are responsible for losses
they suffer by entering territory where
warlike operations are taking place.
The memorandum. referring to its note
on the Ancona case. says that It strictly
adheres to the assurance already given"
At the same time Austria calls attention
to the fact that at the time of the Ancona
incident it stated that it reserved the
right to bring up later for discussion in
|ternational questions which arise in con-
ncction with submarine warfare
