BERLIN, Feb. 22.-Cvia wireless to
the United Press)-Austria's answer
to the United States as to the subma-
rine warfare is eagerly awaited here.
Both Austrian and German officials
are carefully refraining from COM
ment on the negotiations, but it Is
semi-oficially pointed out that in
May and July of last year, Austria
complained to the United States of
the sinking Of the entente of peaceful
Austrian ships, without warning.
Americas protest to the entente over
such sinhngs was without result It
is therefore considered unjust that
America should now complain against
Austria's decision as to submarine
measures. Berlin continues calm, the
public quietly awaiting developme ents.
Great regret Is expressed here that
news Of events in the United States
reaches here only .arough the medi-
lm Of the biased British censors, not
permitting an accurate resume of
conditions.
