NOW TO BREAK WITH AUSTRIA
Government Has Made Complete Ar

of Ambassador PenfieId.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Complete ar
engagements for the withdrawal Of
American diplomatic and consular Of
ficers from Austria-Hungary have
been made by Ambassador Penfie1d
on instructions from the State De-
partment. 1t was learned today that
the ambassador had been directed to
take this step, the belief at the de-
partment being that a break in rela-
tions is inevitable. The Spanish gov
eminent has been asked to take over
American interests and plans have
been made to expedite the withdrawal
of Americans if the break occurs.
The last report from Ambassador
Penfield suggested slight possibility
that Austria's reply to this govern
ment's aide memoir, asking a defini-
ton of that nations attitude in the
submarine situation, might be favor
able. No real hope was raised here,
however, and no change in instruc-

U-BOATs' FEBRUARY RECORD
During the Month 2o2 Vessels With a
Tonnage of 42o, 400 Were
Destroyed.

New York, Mar. -3.-Shipping de-
stroyed since war began, exclusive of
war vessels, presents 10 per cent of
the worlds merchant marine as it
existed On August 1, 1914, according
to figures published by the Journal of
Commerce today. Construction of war
ships has offset most of the losses,
it was stated.
The statistics record the destruc-
ton of 2,573 vessels of 4,811, 100 gross
tons, of which more than half was
owned by Great Britain The next
heaviest sufferer has been Norway,
with France third, Italy fourth and
Germany fifth
Entente losses have been about rs
per cent of the total and Teutonie 20
per cent.
The figures list 202 vessels of az
proximately 42O,460 gross tonnage as
definitely reported destroyed during
February or since Germany's unre-
stFicted submarine . warfare began.
This compares with 164 vessels of
33S,S51 gross tonnage in January. Nor
wegian and Dutch shipping during
February suffered losses heavier than
any of the entente allies except that
of Great Britain, which lost more than
half of the months total The Febru-
airy figures were the highest for a
single month.

CONGRESS AGREES
ON NAVY MEASURE
Fight Over an Amendment That
Threatened to Block Bill
is Adjusted.
TUE HOUSE AND SENATE AGREE
Final Passage of Measure Which Car
ries- $685.. 100000 Was Threat
ened for Time.

Washington, Mar. 3.-Congress fl
nally cleared the way for final enact
ment of the $685., ZOO, 900 naval appro-
priation bill tonight after straighten-
ing out a controversy. between the two
houses which for a time threatened
to kill the measure and force an ex-
ira session.
Late tonight the house formally dis
agreed to all senate amendments and
sent the measure to conference The
action was regarded, however, as
largely perfunctory, for with the diff
ference over the bond issue cleared
away it appeared there was little
doubt of a final agreement on other
details
Final enactment of the bill was Sc
riously threatened for a time by re-
fusal of the House to accept the meas
ure which passed the Senate today on
the ground that the S150,000, 900 bond
issue amendment constitutes a usur-
patton of the authority of the lower
house.
After hurried conferences between
Democratic and Republican leaders,
fearful that to reopen debate on. the
bill would mean its failure, the Sen
ate without a roll call repassed the
measure with the bond issue provis-
ion eliminated. At the last moment
Senator Jones succeeded in attaching
an amendment striking out the clause
making it a crime for shipbuilding and
other industrial concerns to refuse to
surrender their plants to the govern
ment in time of war or other pro-
claimed emergency.
Cheers Greet Action.
The Senates action was greeted
with cheers in the House, where it
was conceded that any difficulty over
the Jones amendment could be quick
ly smoothed out.
In the meantime, it was agreed that
both Houses should put through a
joint resolution originating in the
House, authorizing the S150,0Q0, 600
bond issue. Of this money Sis, 0U0,-
900 is to be used in rushing to com
pletion vessels now under construc-
ton and S35, 000,0 900 is for fifty addi-
tional submarines provided for by SEN

is for use in rushing to completion
warships now under construction and
to pay for submarine chasers and $685.
100000 is for fifty submarines in ad-
dition to those provided for in the
regular building program
Efforts to attach the administration
amendments empowering the Presi-
dent to commander American Ships
in an emergency failed because Re
publican senators would not consent
to their passage without debate. IN
