AUSTRIA TO SUPPORT ALLY
but Rcportcd Almost Fcverishly
Anxious to Rctnin Good Relations
with United states.

| ny Associated Press.
BERN. M0rch 30 (via Paris, March
30).--A neutral diplomat who arrived
here from Vienna to-day asserts that
Austria is almost fcvcrishly anxious
10 retain good relations with the United
states, but is even more DESTROYS and
determined to support Germany. The
continuance of friendly relations be-
tween Washington and Vienna depends
almost entirely, he believes, upon the
outcome of the crisis between Germany
and the United States.
According to the diplomat, If America
and Germany go to war, Austria will
follow the lead of her ally, hut if
peace is preserved, Vienna hopes to
avoid Il break with the United States
The economic situation in Austria IS
described by the traveller as very bad,
and getting steadily worse although
perhaps not worse than that in Ger
many.
