BREAK WITH omitted
STATES SEEMS SURE
Views Expressed by Vienna In.
acceptable to Washington.

Washington, March 7.-Austria- Hun.
gary. replying to the demand of the
United States for an announcement
of her position regarding subsea war
fare, declares in effect she will stand
by Germany in her ruthless, campaign.
The note, handed to the United
States Ambassador in Vienna, gives
Austria's fixed determination to sink
all armed merchantmen without warn
ing.
That a break with Austria cannot
be avoided is the opinion here follow
ing the receipt of the official note.
The note declares that armed mer-
chantmen will enter the danger zone
at their peril.
Austria, while admitting that the
desire Of the United States to have
the safety of all neutral ships guaran-
teed is a laudable one and in line with
the principles of common humanity,
declares that such step cannot be
taken by the powers at war.
The offer in the communication to
substitute for the individual warning
to which every merchant ship is enti-
tied before being torpedoed general
warning for all ships not to enter the
barred zone is regarded as trivial ano
unacceptable by the Washington gov.
ernment.
The principle that neutrals in war
time should enjoy the advantages of
the freedom of the seas is admitted
in part, but the clause is held to ap-
ply only to neutral vessels and not to
neutral persons aboard enemy ships
This view of the case does not coin.
eide with the views of Washington.
and this is believed to be one of the
main points on which the break, If
one comes, will be based.

The universally appreciative refer

REFUGEES
ARRIVE IN HAVANA

Havana, March 1.-THE Spanish
steamer Alfonso KILL, arriving in Ha-
vana from Corunna, having sailed
Feb. 81, brought to the Western HEM
isphere the first American refugees
from Germany since the diplomatic
break.
Included in the party were several
who were most closely associated
with Ambassador Gerard during the
crucial period before he received his
passports.
OF these H. l.. Mencken, Berlin cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, was
able to tell to the United States the
inside story Of events in Berlin at
that time.
'It is scarcely true." Mr.. Mencken
said, that Ambassador Gerard was
held as hostage by the Germans, and
it is wholly untrue that Americans in
Berlin were deprived of their liberty
of subjected to other indignities, but
there were some ticklish moments
during the historic week of Feb. 4.
For three days some of the more
timorous spirits of the colony there
had visions of the prison camp for
civilians at Ruhleben.
"The trouble, such as it was, was
caused by two things, the first being
the entire lack Of direct news from
the United States; the second being

asking him to explain how the German
note with regard to bringing Mexico
and Japan into war with the United
States was dfvulged."
The correspondent adds that the
Socialist newspapers in Munich, Leip.

to Mexico as the crowning diplomatic
blunder of Germany.

Washington.-The government has
notified each state Of the number Of
men 1t will be called upon to furnish in
the draft. This notification was con-
tained In the formal order issued by
the president calling for $4,000 men
under the selective conscription law
to make up the national army.
The only steps now remaining are
distribution by the governors Of
state quotas among the local exemp-
uon districts and the great lottery.
which probably will be he'd next
week and which will establish the
order In which registrants are to pre-
sent themselves for service or exemp-
ton.
The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and
National Guard to war strength and
to organize the first 500, 900 Of the new
national army.

The total Of these three forces will

Later another 10000 will be called
out, supplemented by sufficient men
to make up losses and maintain re-

Following Is Secretary of War
Bakers announcement of the order:
by virtue Of the authority vested
in him by an act OF congress-, entitled
An Act to Authorize the President
to Increase Temporarily the Military
Establishment of the United States
approved May 13, 1917. the president
of the United States has ordered the

be required from the various states

war volunteer to the regular army.
Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed on April 1 last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength. the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave gross quota for each
state. from which a net quota was COM
puted by checking off the number of
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number Of men
given by the state to the regular army
since April l.
The apportionment was made on the
basis OF an estimated grand total for
the United States and Its possessions
of los, 1856. .O58 Inhabitants.
This is a paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
Of quotas by population, but which
equalizes in a great measure the bur
den that is to fall upon the 1850 ex-
emption districts.
Total Of 1,152,s85.
Each will furnish under this appor-
tionment the men its total registration
would indicate as fair proportion,
rather than the number the actual pop
ulation of the district would indicate.
The total of these gross quotas Is l.
152.9s5 men.
Credit is given to the various states
for a total of 465. 1856 voluntary enlist
ments in the National Guard and reg
