Slight changes caused by variations In trans latloa existed between the two versions, be said, after seeing tha official text but the meaning la a broad sense was the aaraa. Such a rejoinder Is wholly unsatis factory and unacceptable to the Amer ican Government and Increases the gravity of the altuatton between the two nations. It was declared.

BERLTN. via London. Dec 17. Charles L Perslus. naval expert of the Tageblatt. makes the following com ment today on the Austrian note: . "Washington plainly forgot when It sent its note that Its case rested on statements of excited, passengers, as against aworn statements of Austrian naval officers. The American note shows little diplomatic aptness." The Cologne Gaxette says: -America may now choose. If It de sires iaiaxeourse as a well niaanerea 25 Lot or embroideries.

It must bring Itself to ac cede to the standpoint of the Vienna note. -Aa an alternative it will have to learn that Austria-Hungary does not let itself be handled aa a Central Amer ican state, which one can bluff into timorous subordination with rude, big words." the Gaxette adds. "Then the conflict will be at hand and nobodr but the Washington Government will have deliberately desired it." The Boersen Zeitung says: "The Vienna note Is not really an answer, but a demand that the United States define ita position In a manner customary among states. .When this Is done. Vienna will not hold back with an answer and one cannot doubt what It will be." " BREAK PREDICTED IX PARIS Austria's Answer Viewed as "Barely Disguised Refusal. " PARIS, Dec 17. "We shall be much astonished if the American Government does not reply to the' Austrian note by simply instructing Ambassador Pen Held to ask for his passports and by banding his passports to the Austrian charge at. Washington." says the Figaro. "Austria's answer Is a barely dis guised refusal. The only satisfaction Austria gives the United States is that she does not keep the United States waiting for It. President Wilson's long animity has its limits, and the dis missal of the Austrian charge at Wash ington and the recall of Ambassador Penfleld wiH show this is not a ques tion of a tit of energy, but a carefuljy thought out resolution."

LAW GOVERNS SECRETARY Court Holds Cabinet Officer Cannot Nullify Statutes. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 17. That the Secretary of Labor has no authority to make rules and restrictions further than provided by the immigration laws already enacted by Congress was the decision of Judge Dooling today In the United States District Court. The point at issue was as to the rights of the son of a native-born Chi nese to enter this country. The law provides that he has this right. The Secretary of Labor made a rule that he lost this right when he did not ex ercise It during his minority. The Judgment of the court, it was said, would affect several cases which have been subjects of contests in the Immigration department. Ford Peace Ship Resumes Voyage. LONDON. Dec. 17.
