AUSTRIA'S ACTS
CAUSING BREAK
|. like GERMANy's
Both Nations Showed Hos
tility to America Be-
fore the War. y

Systematic hostile and surreptitious
unneutral acts on the part of Austria
Hungary have driven this country to
the exact position she was In with re-
gard to Germany before the declara-
ton of war on April 6. 1917. She pur-
sued ruthless submarine warfare, al
though on much smaller scale than
Germany. She carried on a propa-
ganda of disloyalty to this country.
Just like Germany. She used her dip
lomatic agents here to foment discord,
incendiarism and destruction through
out this country, Just like Germany.
The parallel is complete. Count Won
Bernstorff, while enjoying the good
graces and hospitality Of this country,
advised and financed Capt. Boy-Ed
and Capt. Won Papen in the conduct
Of criminal propaganda. So DR.. Con-
stantin Dumba was sent out of this
country because he was concerned in
starting strikes and fires in munitions
factories here.
Sinking of Ancona.
The outstanding affronts to the peo-
pie of This country started on Novem-
Der s, 1915. when the steamship Ancona
was fired upon and sunk by subma-
rine flying an Austrian flag. The sub
mersible sent a shot across the bows.
The vessel attempted to escape. The
submarine overhauled her. Without
giving the passengers and crew time
to get into the small boats the sub
marine shelled and torpedoed the
steamer until she sank.
Many persons were lost. including
Americans.
Austrian submarines sank other
vessels, including the Imperator. with
Americans aboard. With protests
coming from all sides, the Austrian
government, coincidently with the
German governments declaration OF
February 10, 1916. regarding the treat
ment OF armed merchant vessels, an
nounced that "all merchant vessels
armed with cannon for whatever pur-
pose, by this very fact lose the char
acter Of peaceable vessels" and that
under these conditions orders >haye
been given to AustTo- Hungariaa ma,
val forces To treat such ships as bel
hgereat vessels" ..@-
T0rpedoed without warning.
Conformable to this declaration a
number of vessels having Americans
aboard were sunk in the Mediterran'
can, presumably by submarines be-
longing to Austria Hungary. Some
of them were torpedoed without
warning by submarines flying the fiae
of Austria. as in the cases of the
British vessels Welsh Prince and
Secondo.
Meanwhile the German propagands
that was responsible for the setting
of fires aboard sugar ships and bomb:
in munitions factories was operating
DR.. Dumba, with Austrian propagan'
dists was doing the same thing. The
United States government sent a re-
quest to Austria Hungary asking thai
DIR. Dumba be recalled. The bearer
was an American citizen, F. ]. H.
Archibald. travelling under an Ameri,
can passport. The ambassador ad'
mitted that he employed Archibald to
bear official dispatches from him to
his government. Secretary Lansing $
note to the Foreign Office expressed
the regret that the course had be-

London, Dec. 4.-Few details came
through from Petrograd or Berlin
today regarding the terms of the
Russ-German armistice. An Amster.

eight hours. Interest in military and
political circles here now centers
mainly on what Germany's allies
will do.
Austria has adhered to the guiding
principles of the Russian offer. In
the meantime, however, Trotsky has
informed Count Czernin, the Austrian
foreign minister, that peace without
annexatons or indemnities" still is
Russia's aim. 1t is regarded as ex-

would agree to this basis even II
