Declares All Armed Ships Are Pirates
Held Responsible for Losses
They Suffer.
London, March S. The American
ambassador at Vienna has been linnd
ed the reply of the Austrian govern
ment to the American note Inquiring
as to the position of the Austrian gov
ernment In regard to unrestricted sub
marine warfare, according to a Vienna
dispatch received on Tuesday.
The reply declares that neutrals ore
responsible for losses they suffer by
entering territory where warlike op
eratlons are taking place.
The reply of Austria states that
promises made In previous notes con
corning the warning to neutral vessels
do not apply to armed merchant ships,
which may be considered as pirates
and sunk accordingly.
Tho reply says "that whatever attl
tude the Washington cabinet mny take
as to Individual questions raised here,"
the Austro-IIungarian government Is
"essentlully In accord with the Amerl
can government In regard to tho pro
tcctlon of neutrals against endanger
Ing their lives." Tho memorandum
then maintains thnt "neutral subjects
have to bear themselves all losses they
suffer by entering territory where war
like operations are taking place."

British blockade, which It declares Is
Illegal, the memorandum continues:
"The principle that neutrals should en
Joy In wartime tho advantages of tho
freedom of tho seas refers only to neu
trnl vessels and not to neutrnl persons
nbourd enemy vessels."

U. 3. Supreme Court Takes Ship
From Germans Virginia Judge
Upheld.
Washington, March 8. British
claimants of the German prize ship
Appnm nt Newport News, Vu., won
their suit In the Supremo court to re
gnln possession of tho vessel and cargo.
In sustaining the British libel at
tachment suit against the Appnm and
Its cargo tho court held on Tuesday
that the British owners aro entitled to
restitution because tho Appam violat
ed American neutrality. Treaties of
1700 and 1828 between tho United
States and' Germany, tho court held,
do not entitle German prizes, unac
companied by the captor warship, to
Indefinite American asylum. Jurisdic
tion of Amerlcnn courts over the Ap
pnm wns upheld.
Findings of Federal Judge Waddlll
of Virginia thnt the Appam violated
American neutrality, after being
brought Into Hampton roads a year
ago by Capt. Hans Berg nnd a German
prize crew, wero sustained and ap
proved by the court.

PINKY PIG'S SICKNESS.
"Pinky Pig." said Daddy, "wns sick.
Of course, it was not unusual for
Pinky Pig to be sick. Ho often ate
too much and had Indigestion. Then,
too, he ate things which did not agree
with htm, Just because he loved so to
cat, and then he would feel quite III.
"Each time he was ill he said to
himself thnt lie would never touch
anything lie didn't know about, and
Hint he would never eat too much
ugntn. But such thoughts Pinky only
hnd when he was 111 never when he
was well, and when they would have
havo been of somo use to htm.
"Of course, Plnky's mother was very
much frightened. She wns always
frightened when Pink wns 111. Each
tlmo she made a great fuss, and if
nnyone told her It was because her
child had eaten too much, she would
be very angry.
" 'I approve of his eating too much,'
his mother would say. 'He's n Pig and
should act like one. 1 hate these
Creatures who put on nlrs.'
"So no ono could give Mrs. Pig ad
vice as to how to train Pinky.
"Tlds time ho wns ill she was quite
upset. Of course, that was tho way
she always got, but each time ho was
ill she was certain ho had never felt
so upset before over ony of Plnky's
illnesses.
'"Oh, dear; oh, dear,' she squealed.
Whatever shall I do?'
" 'Just let blm stay quiet and not
cat for n day or two. He'll bo all right,'
said Mr. Booster, as lie strutted around
tho Barn.
"The Pigs were living In a llttlo
house Just off the Barn.
" 'You aro so heartless, Mr. Rooster,'
said Mrs. Pig. 'You don't understand
that my precious Pig child is very ill,
indeed.
'"No more so thnn usual,' said Mr.
Rooster.
"'He Is usually very well. I don't
know what you mean by such a rc
mnrk', said Mrs. Pig.
" 'Yes, it's true,' agreed Mr. Rooster,
'that Pinky can stnnd a great deal.
Much, much more than most Animals
even most Pigs, for thnt matter 1'
"'Ah, tho dear love,' grunted Mrs.
Pig. 'Such n henlthy Pig. But now,
oh, dear,' and sho wolled and squouled
some more.
"'But,' said Mr. Rooster, 'what I
meant wns that ho was not any worse
than he usually Is when ho Is 111. Now
do you understand?
"'No, grunted Mrs. Pig, crossly.
" 'You're stupid,' said Mr.-Roostcr.
" 'How can you say such a thing, Mr.
Rooster,' snld Mrs. Pig, 'when my
darling Pinky Is ill. I can't think of

"Whatever Shall I Do?"
nnything else. You may call mo stupid

"'Oh,' said Mr. Rooster. 'I sup
