German Government Ansercd ard
Yarrowdaic Men Are Locked Up
Again-inquiry Fails to arihs
Satisfaction.

Washington, D. C.--State depart
e officials saw little hope OF re-
conciliug the difference between the
United States and Austria. and il was
said that a break between tee two
countries was a matter OF a short
time.
The continued refusal OF The Unit
ed States to receive the credentials
OF Count Tarnowski. the newly de-
signated ambassador, has aroused
considerable resentment in Austria.
1t was learned that what amounts TO
a flat demand that Tarnowski be eth
er received or definitely sent home,
has been filed with the state depart
ment. Baron Zweidenek, the Austrian
charge, called at the state department
to discuss the matter, and following
his visit il became apparent that Aus
tria is plainly dissatisfied with the
treatment accorded the representative
to replace Ambassador Dumba, whose
recall was demanded by this govern
ment.
1t is expected that the Austrian gov
ernment's reply to Ambassador Pen
fields latest demand for Il statement
Of Austria's position on the submarine
issue will be forthcoming and that
1t will make the break inevitable.
YarroWdaie Men Still Held.
The detention of Count Won Bern
storff, the dismissed German ambas-
Hador at Halifax. while tie British
make a search Of the Frederick VIII.
or which he is sailing, has aroused
German resentment. The United
States has been told from Berlin that
the treatment OF Americans in Ger.
many would depend upon the safe re-.
turn of the Befnstorff party. At the
state department il was said that this
government c~ontemplates no action
II the matter. 1t was apparent, how
ever, that Germany may seek to make
an issue Of the delay.
Official information about the re.
lease Of the American prisoners Ct
the Yarrowdale still is lacking. Il
has been nearly two months since
these Y seamen were taken into Ger
many, Their release was announced
il press dispatches several days ago,
but several inquiries to the Spanish
ambassador at Berlin have failed to
bring official announcement Of it,
with details of arrangements for their
transportation home.
