Austria Tool of Germany.s The secret service found how the Austrian diplomatic code and the of- fices of Austrian consuls were ‘being used for activities Germany could not carry on in the United ates ' with her own officials. In some cases where 'submarines sank unresisting passen liners with great loss of life peared that the U-boats i ] were Austrion, but there was littie doubt that the officers and crew were Germans and that the submersibles were acting under German orders. The most striking case of that sort was the destruction of the Italian liner Ancona in which responsibility never was defi- nitely established. _ - ‘The first attack on an American ship ‘which attracted the attention of the nation’ was that upon the American tank steamer Petrolite. An.Austrian submarine fired on the ship. killed a member of the crew and forcibly took off supplies, while the master was held as a hostage on the submarine. Noth- ing but evasive diplomatic correspon- dence ever came of it. The American steamer Schuylkill, sunk last week, is believed to have been sent down by an Austrian submarine, but there has been no absolute. proof. U-Boats Flying Austrian Flag. German submarines in the Mediter- ranean have been flying the Austrian flag and Austrian submarifies have been flying the German flag. Appar- ently commanders of both novies have been interchanging flags to avoid re- sponsibility for lawless acts. Quite aside from the question of ‘were Austrian, but there was little consideration of the government in deciding on war with Austria- Hungary ie the nature .of the alliance between Austria and Germany which made it anomaious to war with ‘te latter and not with the former. Difficulty piled upon difficulty and much as. he hoped to avoid it the president was forced to realize that.Austria was being used by. Germany’ in the United States as an active enemy and that nothing less than a declaration of war woald clear H the situation and leave the government perfectly free to carry on the war with || Germany in the most effective manner.
