TWO AUSTRIA ASKS US TO PARTICULARIZE Wants Issue Over Sinking of Ancona Defined More Clearly NOT GOVERNED BY NOTES TO GERMANY Willing to Discuss Question If United States Will Develop Case. London.?The reply of the AustroHungarian government to the note from the United States relative to the sinking of the steamer Aneona by an Austrian submarine was handed to ' Tedcrick C. Per.ficld, United States ambassador at Vienna. The correspondent quotes from the reply as follows: "From the sharpness with which the government of the United States believed it ought to censure the commander of the submarine and from the firmness with which the demands addressed to the Austro-Hungarian government appear to have been brought forward, it could be expected that the American government would clearly give the actual circumstances upon which it relics. As can be easily recognized, the presentation of the cir cumstanccs contained in the note allows numerous doubts and gives not all sufficient reasons for blaming the rommninlnr of thn enhmii vinnc tlm Austrian government, even if the representation proves correct in all points and the demand in the case is based on the most rigorous legal interpretation. "The American government also omitted to indicate the persons to whose statements it refers and to to whom it apparently believes it may attribute a higher degree of trustworthiness than to a commander of j the imperial royal navy. Proposes Discussion. "As to the number names and the details concerning the fate of the American citizens, who, in the critical moment were aboard the above mentioned steamer, the note does not give xmy explanation. Put 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 Austro-Hungarian government in principle is prepared to enter into an exchange of opinion with the American government. Hut in the first instance it must raise the question of why this government refrained from juridically motivating the demands stated in its note with /ogard to the special circumstances of the incriminating incident, which arc es pecially pointed out by the American government and in the face of such motivation mentioned an exchange of correspondence which it had with another government about another affair. "The Austro-Hungarian government is the less able to follow the Washington cabinet in this unusual attitude as it in no way posesses knowh dge of all the correspondence having reference to it. The AustroHungarian government also is not of the opinion that this knowledge could be sufficient for the present case which, according to its own information, is materially different from the case or cases to which the American government apparently is referring. Therefore tHe Austro-Hungarian government must leave it to the Washington cabinet to draw up the individual legal maxims which the commander of Mu? submarine is alleged to have violated when sinking the Ancona. Not Hound by Itcrlin. (ITU- A ' 1 i lie miaiirtvu JIISO thought it advisable to point out the attitude which the lieriin cabinet in the before-mentioned exchange of cor vospondence had taketu In the highly esteemed note the Au .tin-Hungarian government finds no support for this course. If the American government should have intended thereby to express an opinion as if a precedent exists for the present case, the Austro-Hungarian government, in order to present case, the Austro-Hungarian government in order to prevent misunderstandings, must declare that it of course, must preserve full liberty to ugo its own legal interpretations during the discussion of the Ancona case." Sympathy for Victims. STATE ITEMS)! OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE The new South as a monument to the victories of peace during the last half century, was the general theme of the deliberations of the Southern Commercial Congress. Describing William J. Bryan as "simply obsessed" and Theodore Roosevelt as "the giant in Mother Goose," Senator Tillman, of the naval committee, addressed the Senate last week on national defense and assailed what he characterized as the greed of private manufacturers of war materials. There were 27,1591 bales of cotton ginned in Florence county, from the crop of 1915, prior to December 1, ivio, as compared with .">8,440 bales ginned prior to Hoc. 1, 1914. I That the problems of the South are ' the1 problems of the nation was the | predominate note sounded at the open nig address at the first day of the Southern Commercial Congress. Mr. Horace I.. Darr, auditor of Florence County for the past twelve years, died last week about seven o'clock at bis home on West Palmetto street. The United States supreme court has refused to set aside the verdict for $22,500 damages against the Seaboard Air Line which the Lexington civil court awarded to Mrs. Beauregard Koennecke of Columbia because of the death of her husband, a conductor, in the Seaboard yard at Cayce A request for the hearing on the requisition for Ben J. Ashworth, under arrest at Abbeville, has been made of the governor by J. Howard Moore. Ashworth is wanted in Elbert county, Cieorgia. Nearly $14,000 will be disbursed on i New Year's day by the Standard i Warehouse company of Columbia in dividend checks. o Flying Across Atlantic is New Easy. ^ In the January American Magazine Merle Crowell quotes Henry Woodhouse as saying that a transatlantic flight in an aeroplane is now an easy matter. Mr. Woodhouse is governor of the Aero Club of America and member of the Conference Committee on National Preparedness. " 'The $100,000,000 spent, and the $200,000,000 appropriated for military j aircraft in the last three years by the nations of the world will be one of the ( best investments for peace (said Mr. Woodhouse). As an indication of the stimulus that flying has received, I may mention the fact that any of the j "super-Americas" Mr. Curtiss is build j ing could easily fly across the Atlan- , tic Ocean." 1 The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head Because of its tonic and laxative effect.

Field Marshal Sir John French at his own request has permitted to relinquish his post of commander-inchief of the British forces in France and Belgium. Characterizing the epidemic of tyI phus fever which has been raging in Mexico City for some time as "most grave and alarming," Gen.
