BY pre-arrangement Spain will take
over the diplomatic and consular in
terests of the United States in Aus
tria- Hungary. All Austrian consular
agents will depart from the United
States with the diplomatic mission as
was the case with Germany.
Up to the time Charge Zwiedinek
asked for his passports no similar ac-
ton had been taken by Bulgaria and
Turkey-Germany's two other allies,
and their representatives here dis
claimed having any knowledge of the
intention of their governments. 1t
is expected here they will follow by
breaking diplomatic relations.
To Declare War
Austria's break with the United
States undoubtedly is the prelude to a
declaration of state of war. Sixty
two days elapsed between the break in
relations between the United States
and Germany and the formal declara-
tion of a state of war. How many
days will elapse before Germany's chief
ally enters a state of war with Ger
many's newest enemy will be decided
entirely by circumstances. The diplo-
matte history of civilization and the
precedents of centuries show a state
of war invariably follows a break in
diplomatic relations between first-class
powers.
tria has subscribed even If only aca-
demically, to Germany's campaign of
ruthlessness, although she has not car
ried it out against American interests.
Besides that, it is considered that it
would be quite impossible to have
abroad in the United States on a
friendly status the diplomatic and con-
sular agents of Germany's ally.
Conduct Offensive
Anti-American propaganda con-
Quoted by Austrian agents, under Ger
man direction, has been no less Of
fensive and scarcely less effective than
the German propaganda itself. A clean
break between the United States and
Austria was some time ago recognized
as the logical development.
1t is quite possible however, that
there may not be war-like operations
between the forces of the two govern
ments unless Germany carrying
further her domination of the Vienna
government should force it.
Charge Grew at Vienna also will
turn over to Spain, British and Jap
anese interests which this country has
looked after since the beginning of the
war. Italian, French and Rumanian
interests in Austria-Hungary previous
ly looked after by the United States
were ordered turned over to the Swiss
minister.
American ambassadors, ministers
and consular officials in France, Great
Britain, Russia, Serbia, Japan, Greece
Morocco and Egypt will stand ready
to turn over Austrian interests which
the United States has represented III
those countries. since the beginning OF
the war to whatever nation the Aus
trian foreign office shall indicate.
Released of CharScS
The United States by the break in
relations is released of the care OF
probably 100000 war prisoners. In
Russia alone it is estimated that L.
100000 Austrian prisoners were under
American protection with a consider
able number in France also. In Aus
tria the United States had cared for all
the Italian and Rumanian prisoners
Other small groups are thought to
bring the total we'll up to 100000.
About 200 native Americans are
