Washington. Nov. as.--Probability
that the anomalous situation between
the United states and Austria viii be
cleared by an informal declaration of
war by this country AGAINST the Ger
man ally, grew strong today. From
two sources can't. hints that this coun-
try would not much longer remain in
the position OF being compelled to pro-

not warning upon Austria. These
were:

clarsd pointsdfy today that the United
States should declare war on all the
allies Of Germany.
While demands are coming from alt
aides tor this country to take the for

incident now opens the door wide. The
American vessel was in the Mediter-

While Secretary of state Lansing
would not discuss the mater, if was
learned that instructions have been
sent TO the American consul at the
Mediterranean port whore the Schuyl-
kill survivors were landed to take
their testimony. This ~Sl be for
warded to this country A. soon as pos

Tending vessel was an Austrian. it is
believed decisive action will follow

With this situation Senators Lewis

that this country should declare war
