in Austria would not necessarily constitute
a dismemberment Of the Austro- Hungarian
empire II Il still retains an outlet TO the
sea through a port such as Fiume. How
the United States would view this point,
however, is another question
II is admitted that Austria Hungary Is
the greatest national incongruity In the

problem in the coming settlement. IL Is
likely. however, that the peoples of the
subject nationalities themselves will be

The German Chancellor virtually defied
