London, Feb. 2l.-The Norwegian
collier D%albeatie. from Glasgow to
Gibraltar, was sunk by shell fire Sat
urday. Two Americans were on
board her. The collier was shelled
while the crew was taking to the
boats, il is declared. The Americans
on the vessel were John Guerre of Los
Angeles and Frank Wood of Keene,
N. II. The latter is suffering from
bronchitis aggravated by his exposure
of thirteen hours in the ships boat.
London. Frederic c. Penfield,
American ambassador at Vienna, is
said by Reuters Amsterdam CORE
%spOndent to have delivered to the Aus
tro-liungarian foreign minister a re-
quest for a clear and final definition
of Austro-IIungary's attitude regarding
submarine warfare.
The Amsterdam dispatch says that
according to a telegram from Vienna,
Mr.. Penlield handed an aide memoire
to the foreign minister requesting
& dlli llIhl lhlol IIdl loI do w what
standpoint the Austro-Hungarian gov
eminent has assumed regarding sub
marine warfare and whether the as
surances given on the occasion of the
Ancona and Persia incidents are TO
be regarded as changed or withdrawn.
Observation-Disclosures 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 it is possible that
it has been reinforced in view of the
delay in obtaining the response.
Unofficially it has developed that
the State Department is reluctant to
sever diplomatic relations with Aus
tria, desiring to maintain as long as
possible some official relations with
at least some of the central covers.
A break with Turkey and Bulgaria
is regarded as certain to follow a rup-
ture with Austria, and deep oncern
for the welfare of the many Ameri-
can citizens in the Near East Is one
of the influences that has affected the
State Departments policy Of holding
off.
Some of the tension created by the
destruction of the American schooner
Lyman M. Law has disappeared as the
result of a statement credited to the
captain Of the American vessel that
the crew of the submarine which de-
stroyed the ship were Germans.
The old Petrolite case, involving an
unwarranted firing upon that Ameri-
can ship and taking a part of her
stores by an Austrian submarine, re-
mains the only concrete issue between
the United States and Austria.
The British smashed the German
defenses near Armentieres and Ypres.
