Austria- | iungary's reply to the American S lote on the sinking of the Itailan . teamship Ancona is looked for by I he end of this week. This expec g ation was expressed today after Jaron Erich Zwiedinek, charge of he Austro-Hungarian embassy, had | onfered with Secretary Lansing re ;arding the note and attempted, it \ yas understood to gain informally | or the information of his govern- g nent an understanding of what ! vould satisfy the United States. I The charge it was said did not in- f [icate what the action of Austria lungary might be, explaining that ie had not heard from the foreign | ffice upon the subject. s Much attention has been attracted J n official and diplomatic circles by | hat portion of the note which re erred to "the acquiescence of Ger- | nany" in the attitude of the United States toward use of submarines in ttacking vessels of commerce. This eference served to accelerate spec- ( lation as to what effect a satisfac- J ory or an unsatisfactory answer to he note would have upon the nego- I iations between the United States ? nd Germany regarding the Ameri- ? an lives lost on the Lusitania. j* Detailed information will be | waited by the State department be- v ore any action is taken regarding ? lie recent attacks upon American K in +V? o Morlifprrcj npori P aim oi/cauivio AH V*IV VU> ??...VM.. _ y submarines flying the Austrian ag. fax Collector's Notice. >FFICE WILL BE OPEN FROM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15TH, UNTIL FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31ST, 1915. .
