But in view of the fact that the Washington Cabinet now has given a positive declaration that at the above-mentioned incident subjects of the United States came to grief, the Ausro-Hungarian Government in principle is prepared to enter Into an exchange of opinion with the American Government, But in the first instance it must raise the question of why this Government refrained from Judiclally motivating the demauds slated in its note with regard 4 to the special circumstances of the incriminating incident, which are especially pointed out by the American Government, and in the of Anglos evan Vices Place of such motivation mentioned an exchange of correspondence , was & favorable feature, Prices which It had with another government about another affair. (The again declined sharply at the clow America note to Germany on the Lusitania case.) “The Austro-Hungarian Government is the less able to follow the Washington Cabinet in this unusual attitude, as it in no way possesses a knowledge of all the correspondence having reference to it. The Austro-Hungarian Government also {s not of the opinion that this knowledge could be sufficient for the present case. which, according to its own information, is matertally different from the case or cases to which the American Government apparently is re- ferring. Therefore, the Austro-Hungarian Government must leave it to the Washington Cabinet to draw up the individual legal maxims which the commander of the submarine is violated when sinking the Ancona, “The American Government also thought it out the attitude which the Berlin Cabinet in exchange of correspondence had taken, note Austro-Hungarian finds no support for this course, If the Government should have intended :| thereby to express an opinion as if a precedent exists for the pres- ent case, the Austro-Hungarian Government, in order to prevent misunderstanding, must declare that {t, of course, must preserve | full liberty to urge Its own interpretations during the discussion of the Ancona case.” alleged to have advisable to point before mentioned In the highly esteemed Government American Germany Takes Little Interest serbian achools; to furnish evidence Newark, No dy (F wn 1,000,000 SERBIAN WOMEN ANDGIRLS INWANT AND FEAR ‘Left Practically Without Food and Unpro- in Towns tected From Robbers.
