WASHINGTON-, D. C. ec. 16.
In tho negotiations resulting from
the sinking or the Italian-American
liner Ancona by an Austrian subma
rine thereby killing several Amer
icans, Austria is now placed in a po-
'sltlon where she must act positively.
Tho dual monarchy must either
comply with the American demands,
or she must refuso to do so. This,
according to state department offi
cials, Is the attitude of the adminis
tration.
It Is pointed out that Austria has
admitted that tbe Ancona was tor
pedoed by a submarine while the ves
sel was standing still, and not trying
to escape capture. Only positive as
surances from Austria that this re
port Is a mistaken one can be ac
cepted as a baslg for any delay.
