BREAK MAY RESULT !
 FROM AUSTRIAN NOTE
Little Hope at Washington for Continuing Diplo-
 matic Relations.

Washington, March e.--Austria's s note declaring adhesion to the general principles of unrestricted submarine warfare holds out little if any hope that a break between the United States and the Vienna government may be avoided. The complete ofh- cial view of the Austrian communtca- tion will not be made known until after President Wilson and Secretary Lansing have carefully studied the official text, which was before them today. Also the note was scheduled to come up for discussion at today's meeting of the cabinet. It was con- sidered probable that the course of the United States toward Austria might, tentatively at least, be deter mined upon then.
 Austria's effort to substitute for the individual warning every merchant ship is entitled to by international law before being torpedoed, a gen. eral warning to all vessels not to en- ter barred zones cannot be accepted by this government.

garian government has taken h1thet- to in regard to the questions which have arisen. When Great Britain joined the war against the Central powers only few years had elapsed since that memorable time when she, in union with other states, began to lay the foundation at The Hague for modern navel war law. Soon after ward the British government had as- sembled in Holland representatives of the great sea powers in order to consolidate the further work of The Hague conference, especially in the sense of a just arrangement between belligerents and neutrals. These ef- forts aimed at nothing less than the mutual establishment of principles Of right which even in wartimes should embody the principles of freedom of the seas and the safeguarding of the interests of neutrals.
 '.Neutrals were not to enjoy these benefits for long. Hardly had the United Kingdom decided to partici- pate in the war when, almost at once it began to break down the barriers which the principles of international law had erected. While the Central powers. at the very beginning of the war. had declared that they would observe the Declaration Of London, which also bore the signature of the British representatives. Great Britain threw overheard some of it's important provisions. Tn an endeavor to cut ofI the Central powers from supplies for overseas hs enlarged step by step. the list of contraband until nothing was missing in the list of things which today men went for their subsistence.
 North Sea Blockade Illegal.
 Then Great Britain proclaimed what she called blockade of the coasts of the North Sea, which form so important a route for Austro- Hungarians, in order to prevent goods which were still missing in the list of contraband from entering Germany and in order to prevent sea traffic by neutrals to these coasts as well as all exports through neutrals. That this blockade is in fragrant contradiction to the customary principles of the right of blockade, as established by international agreement. was explicit ly declared by the president of the United States of America in the words which will continue to live in the history of international law.
