London, April A dispatch from

says that Austria-Hungary will break
diplomatic relations with the United
States as the result OF strong German
pressure,
Kaiser Denies Breaking Treaty.
Washington, April 4. - Germany's
reply to the American note which re-
fused to accept the Interpretation of
the old Prussian treaties OF 1899 and
1928 because of Germany's fragrant
violations" OF the treaties, contains
almost no argument in rcfutation OF
the American contentious, but states
that Germany will live up to that part
of the treaty dealing with Americans
in Germany.
Germany denies having itself broken
the treaties and charges that this gov
ernment practically has done so.
Blockade Not Recognized.
Germany's denial OF having violated
the articles providing for FREE inter
course of either country with an
enemy OF the other, on the ground OF
a blockade, is considered absurd here.
Its present submarine campaign is not
credited with the first qualification OF
a blockade--namely, cffectivcncss--as
not 3 per cent Of the vessels entering
and leaving England are affected.
Germany's charge in its reply that
the United States has prevented the
departure OF German vessels Amer
ican harbors is fatty deried except
for certain German vessels known TO
be planning unneutral service in sup
plying German warships at sea. All
other German vessels complying with
American neutrality laws have been
and are still free TO leave at any me-

STRONG SPEECH BY LODGE

Washington, April 4.-The war res
olution was debated in the senate un-
til late today, with the expectation
among supporters of the meature that
a vote would be reached early this
evening. Senator La Toilette. spoke
over three hours against the resolu.
ton and when he had finished Sen
ator Williams replied to his state
ments.
1t was planned to pass the resolu-
ton before adjournment.
Senator La Toilette concluded at
6:45 o'clock, after speaking three
hours. Senator John Sharp Williams
rose to reply, and sharply criticised
Senator La Follette's speech. 1T

mann-Hollweg than an American
senator" he declared.S
He said he expected the Wisconsin
senator to defend the invasion of Bel

pIcSlutIt, dHti-SolsiSso anu anu

Williams Scores Colleague.
"The speech of the Wisconsin SEN
ator would better become Herr Won
Bethmann-Hollweg than an Amer
lean SENATOR" said Senator Williams
"In fact, he has gone further than
Herr Won Bethmann- n-Hollweg would
ever have gone. Bethmann-Hollweg
said the use of the submarine could
be justified only on the ground Of
necessity; the senator from Wiscon-
sin puts it on the same footing as
Great Britain's interference with our
commerce.
II fully expected the senator from
Wisconsin before he took his seat to
defend the invasion of Belgium, the
most barbarous act ever committed.

pro-German, pro-Goth, pro-Vandal,
and which was anti-president, anti
congress and anti-American.

Hollweg had too much sense, too
much knowledge to make that
speech" ,=
At this point Senator La Toilette
left the chamber, but remained in the
cloak room while, within hearing
distance.
Continuing, Senator Williams said
