AUSTRIA WANTS TO BREAK
WITH THEJNITED STATES
Chicago, Jan. 10—Tho Herald's
Washington correspondent says that
foreign ambassadors in Washington
acquainted with the temper of Aus
tria-Hungary have cabled their re
spective ministers for foreign affairs
that they expect broken diplomatic
relations between that government
and the United States.
This fact shows more clearly than
anything else how serious is the
situation provoked by the demands
made bv President Wilson upon ^
the government of Emperor Franz j
Jostf
The correspondent quotes "an;
agent of a foreign government, who
: Is ia close touch with European
! ambassadore," aa saying:
"la case of a break in. diplomatic
relations Austria-Hungary ylll toe
unhampered ia the future by; the
necessity of considering the Unit
ed States. Her submarines -will be
free to operate against any ves
sels flying the flag of the enemies."
' And if any more Americana are
kille-i or drowned?"
The diplomat shrugged his
shoulders.
"Then it is for the United States
to determine whether it will order
Americans to keep off enemy ves
sels plying in the Mediterranan or
to seek to enforce the right to
travel on them by dispatching war
ships tc take part ia the war."
