View of United States in Case of Ancona, Sunk by Submarine. POSITION ALREADY DEFINED WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. While the United States will wait for the Austrian reply to Ambassador Pen field's Inquiry concerning the circum stances under which the Italian liner Ancona was sunk, It was stated offi cially today that the placing of Amer ican citizens In small boats on the high seas was not 'regarded as ac cording them " a place of safety" with the meaning of the term as used In International law. In Ita correspondence wltn Germany over the Frve case the Amerlcsn gov ernment expressed the ivlew that open boats did not constitute a place of safety. This was broadened today by an official Interpretation to apply to all American citliene whether traveling on belligerent oskieutral ahlpa. ' . Unallfy Assertions. Officials qualified their assertions some what by stating that If a vessel was de stroyed within a few miles of shore ltfe boats would be regarded ss safe, but that weather conditions and the opportunity given for paesengers to transfer even then waa pertinent. From these Intimations It was believed the American government would develop the entire question of submarine warfare further In correspondence with Austria and that even though, as the Austrian admiralty had declared, forty-five mln utea was given for the passengers and crew ot the Ancona to be transferred, this waa not regarded aa affording Amer ican citizens an opportunity to be saved. The United States has Insisted through out that the operations of the submarines shall not Jeopardise the Uvea of American citizens and notwithstanding the formal denial from Vlonna that the Ancona was shelled after It stopped and the fact that the ship actually waa torpedoed while a number of passengers still were aboard Is regarded as the chief circumstance upon which representations will be made. Official Restart Received. The first official report, alleging that the submarine continued shelling the An cona after It had halted, reached the State department today In a consular dis patch outlining an affidavit made by Dr. Ceclle Greil, officially the only known native American survivor of the tragedy. Costly Passenger Boats Are Used For Prison Ships (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) LONDON, Nov. 10. "From the point of view of the shipping man. the whole hla tory of tha war so far aa the transport service la concerned is a wicked story of Ignorance, Ineptitude and colossal waste," asserts the editor of Syren and Shipping, the leading Journal of the shipping trade, lie adda: J 'v. "Costly and useful ships were used for months as prison ehlpa. Super-ships, like the Aqultanla, were employed on eeout Ing missions, their magnificent passen ger equipment gutted. Ships were allowed to toad cargo or to book a full passenger list and then owners were Informed that the admiralty required these boats." An Instance Is given of a 7.000-ton boat which was all ready to sail with 900 pas sengers when It waa taken over and sent empty to the west coast of South Amer ica, although It might have been loaded with coal and realised a small fortune. Another case Is given of a 6,000 ton boat at Iluelve, about to load with a cargo of Iron ore for England, which waa requl tltloned suddenly and sent empty to the Pacific, although there should have been plenty of merchant ships available much nearer the desired destination. "How long," asks the Journal, "will theae methods be tolerated T In the na tional Intereat a committee of shipping men should have been selected to or ganise tha admiralty chartering."
