Austrians Bombard
Antivari from Sky
PARIS, Nov. 3. In a dispatch from
Cettlnje, Montenegro, dated yesterday
the correspondent of tho llavns asency
says that three Austrian aeroplanes on
November 1 dropped a number of bombs
at Antivari in an endeavor to strike a
French transport ship and the three tor
pci'.o boats escorting it. None of tho
missiles reached its mark.
Ten of them struck the quay, nut did
enly slhtht damage. Others fell In the
vicinity of the palace of the prefecture
without causing any damage.
Shots from the French torpedo boata
nnd the batteries on the heights com
pelled the aeroplanes to flee.
Taking Reservists
Off Neutral Boats is
Not Defined Right
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. Tho State de
part ment has not yet defined Its attitude)
toward the British contention of the right
of removal from an American rhlp of Its)
German or Austrian reservists, and !t
was said at the department today that
rot only until a specific case arises will
there bo any declaration of policy on the
subject.
So far, whllo the British authorities
have remove! some of these reservists
from American ships, tho action haa
been taken In harbors within the terri
torial Jurisdiction of Great Britain. Even
In that i-HHe It has not been conceded by
the department that this right of removal
may bo exercised beyond tho taking off
of passengers or of a small portion of
tho crew.
If tho privilege were exercised to the
extent of tlelng up an American vessel
for want of a sufficient crew to navlgato
it and thereby interfering with Amer
ican commerce, the department probably
would .lodge a strong objection. The
w hole subject Is admittedly open to new
e iiBtrucllon an 1 very complex. Involving
the right of fully naturalized American
citizens end those who have merely made
declination of their Intention to become
Itlxeiis.
