V,-' I VIENNA PAPERS ARE MODERATE IN TONE They Praise Austrian Government's Reply to "Uncouth" Amer ican Note, NEUE FRETE PRESSE CAUSTIC VIENNA (Via London), Dec. 18. The editorial comment n the Austro-Hnngarian government's re ply to the American government's note concerning the sinking of the Italian liner Ahcona is characterised by moderation. The reply was pub lished this morning. The comment of the Neue Frele Presse probably Is the most caustic of any of the news papers. "Baron Hurlen," says this newspaper, "has answered th uncouth note of the United States with careful reserve. In the preliminary counter explanation the effort la made to Induce the 'Washington cabinet to establish the reliability of the charges that International law had been violated Instead of accepting the gen eralities of accusation made In a state of super-excitement. Tho calm treatment ot the American note is good for th reason that the old world has been stupid enough to make Itself economically dc- j pendent upon the nw world by wasting Its strength. But It will show Itself su perior In the politeness governing the re lations between peoples." Coatrmry to Law. The Neva Frle Presse and other papers point to the Impossibility of the Austro Hungarlaa government admitting that the commander of the submarine whlcn sank the Ancona should be punished for a possible deficiency upon the demand of another government and when the evi dence upon which such a demand la based Is not accessible to the Auatro Hungarlnn government and consists en tirely of statements made by the plain tiff s'de. The newspapers say this Is contrary to any law or system of juris prudence and In addition Incompatible with the fundamental principles of state sovereignty. The American government, the news papers assert, would not think of grant ing any such demand for the reasons stated, nor could It entertain doing ao If It did not desire utterly to demoralise Its naval service by giving Its officers to understand that while they were expected to carry out orders, th consequences of performing th duties so Imposed would b visited upon them. Concerning th American attitude that Austria-Hungary should base its instruc tions to submarine commander on the American notes to the German govern- nt ,0 lne usitania case, tne news- position in mat instance a precedent. It could not use It on th principle that Ignorance la no excus ,bef6r th law sine In this case th American govern ment Is not the judge, but the plaintiff who enjoys, according to International law, no prerogatives nor privileges which th Austro-Hungary government as the agent of a sovereign people does not have. Not Vassal State. Nor, ays tho editorial, is the American government Justified In looking upon Austria-Hungary as Germany's vassal state. This idea, which they assume the Washington not indirectly indicates, they declare to be most absurd. Austria Hungary, they add. now aa ever. Is a separate and Independent state and any relatioru tha American government- may have with Austria-Hungary must have this fact as a basla. 8om of th papers express the belief thst the American note was hastily drafted and that Its equity aspects were not thoroughly considered before the note was transmitted, because they argue ther is no reason to bellev that Waah tngton, as th champion of international law, would hav purposely ignored so fundamental a principle of International law as stat sovereignty, which th not, in many essentials, entirely overlooked - l i ' , . j j ' ?T-"t AMERICAN COASTS ARE WELLDEFEHDED Syitem Declared to Be Moit For midable in World, but Mucb. is Iivckinf. FULL STRENGTH OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 War de partment bureau reports made public tonight disclose the following facts about the army of the United States and its coast defenses: The system ' ot coast defenses is "the most formidable in the world," but is short 630 officers and 10,828 men of the regular establishment and 271 officers and 9.891 men of the National Guard to man all forts and mine defenses. Congress has appropriated $175,000,000 to estab lish the present system, but at present batteries which cost 841, 000,000 are without trained per sonnel to man them. Vraea Mobile llov Users. Batteries of slxteen-lnch, 60-callber guns are recommended as the primary arma ment of all major forts In order that enemy ships may be kept at great dis tance. Mobile howitzer battcr'es of slxteen-lnch, seventeen-inch or even larger guns are ursred to supplement the perma nent forts, the howitzers to be fired from railroad cars or motor trucks. The full strength of the army on June 30 last was 106,993 officers and men, 68,2T8 of whom were In the United States, 14,840 of this number being on duty on or near the Me-.'an border. Vacancies in the en listed Tore were reduced from 9,573 In 1914 o 1,78(1, the year having seen 48.S13 recruits, of whom nearly 90 per cent were born In the United States. On October 1 tho full strength of tho organized militia was 8,705 officers and 120,693 men. Just 21,671 below required en listed strength of the organizations. In specting officers estimate It would require from ten to twelve months to put the militia In the field In the ffdoral service. The Military Student. There were 32.313 students enrolled In ninety-six schools having military courses and graduates from these schools since 1905 numbered 39,430. The coast artillery established scores of 69 per cent hits with ten-Inch guns and 52 per cent hits with twelve-Inch guns at 5.000 yards ranges as against 25 per cent and 46 per cent In 1913 at 10,000 yards the scores were 36 per cent with the ten and 19 per cent with the twelves as against 13 and 14 per cent In 191S. The army death rate was 4.40 compared with 6.15 the year before. There were only seven cases of typhoid fever out of a total mean strength of personnel of 98,649. A new low record was set for tuberculosis at S.GO for all troops, the rate in the continental United States being S.69. Five Persons Meet Death When Trains Collide in the East CHESTER, Pa., Dec. 18. Five persons were killed and eleven Injured, one prob ably fatally, in a rear-end collision be tween an accommodation train bound from Wilmington to Chester and a train of empty express cars on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad tonight at Felton, two miles south of this city. Two of the dead were employes of the railroad and (wo were negro passengers, whose bodies have not been identified. Daniel Callenger, a passenger of Phila delphia, was the fifth victim. Of the In jured Otto Phillips, also of Philadelphia, was the most seriously hurt. His skull was fractured and physicians say that bis recovery la doubtful. All the Injured lived in Philadelphia and Chester or in nearby towns. The accident occurred about ( o'clock and was due, according to railroad offl- ! uials, to dense fog, which made It Impos sible for the engineers to see the signals. The accommodation train, consisting of three day coaches and an engine, was standing at Felton station when the other train crashed Into It. All three coaches of the accommodation were telescoped and the engine was hurled down an embankment. The pas sengers, most of whom were workmen in munition plants at Wilmington, were thrown in all directions and the three wooden coaches were reduced almost to kindling wood. , War Bureau Urges Six-Foot Channel in The Missouri River WASHINGTON, Dec. li.
