Senator'S Hold UP
Ship Defence Bill
Urged by Lansing
Believe Wilson Can Convoy
Vessels Without Going to
Congress to Ask Power

Washington. Feb 2l.-President
Wilson will not be able to get the KIND
of blanket authority proposed in the
bill drawn by Attorney General Greg
ory and urged by Secretary Lansing
before the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate yesterday.
Senators to-day declared that If ne
wished specific authority TO convoy
ships or to take any other particular
steps he could easily obtain IL from
Congress. But such broad and unde-
fined powers as arc contained in the
measure which authorizes him 10 use
the army and navy "to enforce any OF
all other obligations imposed upon the
United States By the law Of nations,
by treaties or conventions, 10 which the
United States is a party, or by the
statutes of the United States will
not be granted.
Democratic Senators expressed en-
tire willingness to amend the bill so
as TO meet the objections of the Re-
publicans, but first they wish TO COM
nunieate with Secretary Lansing, and
find out Just what he did want. They
frankly were unable TO say just what
specific power was desired by the Ad-
ministration. and did not know how to
draft the bill.
There was much talk among tho
Democratic Senators as 10 amending
the bill so as to confne its operations
TO the threc-mile limit. but it is not
known whether this viii confer a.
much authority as il desired.
The committee will meet again to-
morrow 20 take up the legislation.
Meanwhile, the Administration ScDa-
tors either will confer with Secretary
Lansing or will ask him 10 appear
again and outline a measure embody-
ing the wishes Of the Administration,
but stnted more speciilcally.

Austria Suppresses
Attacks on Wilson

Vienna, Feb. 20 via London, Fen.
22).-The newspapers this morning

from commenting on the American com

Wilson. though the government has no
right TO suppress articles not directed
against the country itself.
Paris. Feb. 2I.-The Temps" com
mentinc on the judicial precision OF
the American memorandum to Austria,
says. -,
Austrian diplomacy will not fail to
employ astute suppleness in concert
with Berlin, but will have small
chances of success against the straight
fordwardness and firmness of President
Wilson. His question clearly put, re-
quires a clear answer"
Rome. Feb. 21.-"The American
memorandum" says the "Messaggero,
puts Austria in a terrible dilemma,
compelling her either 70 confirm her
adhesion to the ferocious submarine
warfare. thus fastening a rupture with
America. or to disavow her solidarity
with Germany
The "Popolo Romano" says that the
American memorandum falls short OF
being an utlimatum only because no
date was fixed for the Austrian reply.
A Reuters dispatch from Amsterdam
yesterday said that Ambassador Pen
field, at Vienna, had delivered TO the
Austrian Foreign Minister request
for clear and final information concern
ing Austria-Hungary's attitude regard

Washington Loses Hope
of Averting Rupture

Washington, Feb. 2i.--0n the face
of reports regarding the attitude OF
Germany and Austria Hungary. most
officials think that the time rapidly IS
approaching when diplomatic relations
with Austria will be broken and steps
taken to protect American merchant
men desiring to pass through the dan
gerous area.
There still is disposition on the
mart of State Department officials not
ia discuss the Austrian situation. No
ground for any hope that the Vienna

can be learned, no reply to the note
from the United States inquiring TOT

tude has been received.

Colonel Churchill said. Great Britain
could not afford to assume that 1t was
an evil which could continue TO IN

claim that time was on her side. lie
considered il remarkable that Great
Britain at last had reached high de
gree of stringency in her blockade
without losing the good will of neu-

The entry Of the United States into
the war, Colonel Churchill added, would
derange decisively the fearful equi-
pose between conflicting nations which
now existed. The present relations be
tween the United States and Germany,
he declared showed that consideration
for neutral rights and humanity would
not go wholly unrewarded, and this was
justification of the foreign policy OF

Foreign Affairs.

which sailed last night for Havana,
was forced to turn back because of a
fire which was discovered in her after
