At sharp curve about half mile south

coming at a rather high speed. In at
tempting to turn and avoid a collision
Mr. Hutzel broke the front axle and
turned his car over. Fortunately neither
was seriously hurt but the car suffered
somewhat from the upset. The wind
shield, tenders and top were damaged
but after getting it righted they were
able to drive it to Hill City. The other
car, which was an Oklahoma car, helped
untangle the situation and took Mrs.
Hutzel to Hill City where she took the
train for Custer. Mr.. Hutzel, after get.
ting the car to the garage walked to
Custer. All feel thankful that they es.
capped more serious injury.

western Newspaper Union News Service.


Washington, March 7.-Austria's re-
ply to the American request for a
clearer definition of her attitude in
the submarine situation was stated Of
ficially here to leave the door open for
further negotiations, delayed tempo
rarily at least the break which has
been regarded as inevitable since the
severance of relations between the
United States and Germany.
Although in substance the long
communication upholds and defends
the unrestricted warfare by Germany,
it is couched in most friendly terms
and points out that Austrian subma-
rines are operating only in the Adri-
attic and Mediterranean and, there
fore, an encroachment on American
interests hardly is to be feared"
There will be a reply to this note
and, unless an overt act precipitates
the rupture, both sides apparently
earnestly seeking to avoid. the United
States probably will not be inclined to
force. the issue for the present.
The reply says that whatever atti-
titude the Washington Cabinet may
take as to individual questions raised
here. the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment is essentially in accord with the
American government in regard to the
protection Of neutrals against endan-
gering their lives"
The memorandum then maintains
that neutral subjects have to bear
themselves all Losses they suffer by
entering territory where warlike. op
erations are taking place"
After lengthy discussion OF the
British blockade, which it declares Is
Illegal, the memorandum continues:
"The principle that neutrals should
enjoy in wartimes the advantages of
the freedom of the seas refers only to
neutral vessels and not to neutral per-
sons aboard enemy vessels"
The reply further contends that
belligerents are entitled to decide for
themselves what measures should be
taken against an enemy in sea traf-
fic, and concludes:
''In such cases neutrals have no
other Legitimate interests and there
fore no other legal claim than that a
belligerent inform them in time of a
prohibition directed to an enemy so
that they can avoid entrusting their
lives and their goods to enemy ves-
sels."
