Fannie | Annie Briggs on| Blood|rope or the allies, has been ausment- ing for some time and is today believed to have about reached its climax. According_ to thoroughly relial sources of information, Prince Von Buelow, the German ambassador, has siven formal assurances thai Germany will be able in the end to overcome the resistance of Ausiria and irduce Vien- na to concede to Italy the territorial concessions demanded, together with a free hand in southern Albania. In ad- dition, the centra] empires would fur- ther italy’s ambitions in the eastern Mediterranean. The German diplomat pointed out, furthermore, that the ma- rine supremacy of Great Britain and France would have the effect of crush- ing Italy. Representatives of the allies in thelr negotiations with the Italian govern- ment have presented the matter in quite a different light. They have united in saying that the defeat of Germany and Austria-Hungary is in- evitable, even without the participa- tion of Italy. In case Italy refuses to take part, she will receive nothing from the allies when the settlements are made. They advance the further argument that with the conclusion of peace, or shortly after, the separation ©of Hungary from Austria is quite to be expected. These would lead to the ab- sorption of the Austrian provinces of German nationality by Germany and the consequent extension of German dominion to Trieste, which thus would forever be lost to italy. In additien, Italy would be forced to abandon AV- lona and the Aegean Islands, GERMANY NOT LIABLE FOR GOODS ON BRITISH SHIPS Sunk by Submarines, Even When Car- g0 is Owned by Neutrals. London, March 18, 7.10 p. m.—What is assumed to be the attitude of the German government respecting liability for neutral goods on British vessels sunk by German submarines is set forth in an article in the Cologne Gazette, as telegraphed from Amster- dam by the correspondent of Reuter's Telegram company. The article deals with the Tejection by the prize court at Hamburg of a claim for compensa- tion made by the owner of neutral gocds on 2 British ship bound for Nor- way which was sunk by a submarine “The decision of the prize court’” says the Cologne €azette, “is based on the view that, according to the Germen prize law, no compensation can be {claimed for innocent neutral goeds on board destroyed ememy vessels. The question is not settled in international treaties nor cven in the Declaration of London. There is therefore nothing requiring Germany—especialiy in view of the fact that owing to her geograph- ical-position in the naval war it is im- possible to bring the enemy’s ships into a German prize couri—to pay compensation in such circumstances. “Were it otherwise, before: sinking any ship, the commander of a Ger- man war vessel would be troubled with apprehension lest the damage he was doing to the enemy by sinking the ship might be less than the damage to the German empire involved in the latter having to pay comipensation for neutral cargo destroyed with the vessel. Owing to the short time at his disposal, it would be impossible for the commander of a warship to ascertsin the facts in this regard.” - The roar of a lion can be heard farther than the sound of ‘any living creature.
