IN AUSTRIA TO
AVOID A BREAK
Semi-Oficial Statement Says
Conferences Have Had
No Result.
BOTH SIDES ANXIOUS.
Strong lntimation That There
Will Be No Change in
Submarine Order.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE following
semi official statement from Vienna
regarding the relations of Austria
Hungary and the United states ap-
pears In the General Anzeiger Of Dus-
seldorf:
"Negotiations have been taking
place between Count Czernin (Austro-
Hungarian Minister of Foreign AZ
fairs) and Frederic G. Penfield (the
American Ambassador at Vienna)
since the rupture OF relations between
tho United States and Germany on
the question of the future relations
Of the United States and Austria
Hungary, in view Of the fact that
Austria Hungary associated herself
with Germany's declaration OF inten-
sified submarine warfare. .
ION tho American side desire has
been shown to avoid n rupture with
Austro- Hungary. because Washing
ton shrinks from severing all rela-
tions with the Central Powers. Ber-
lin, too. would prefer that this last
bridge was LETT unDroken.
THE opinion prevails In Vienna
and Berlin that tho decision to em-
bark upon an intensified submarine
warfare did not constitute an action
which should have forced the United
states to such "A policy as mas been
chosen by Washington towards Ger
many. The Central Powers have no
intention of cancclling the new sub
marine warfare. especially In view
OF the imposyblity of establishing
under present methods OF submarine

leans on board torpedoed vessels, No
concessions could be made to the

negative the nature OF the new sub
marine warfare not even for the sake

United States.
| 1T therefore remains with America
to find means which will permit the
maintenance Of normal relations. nc
