Officially, Austria has never given the I ; United States notice that she regarded ,i the waters of the Mediterranean aur- I rounding Italy as blockaded, or that her ,, i submarines would torpedo merchantmen ''! without warning. This fact raises in the minds of some officials I he point as lo , : iiow 1'a r the negotiations and exchange t - of notes between the United States and i Germany morally hound the Teutonic al- V i lies. It was recalled tonight that Dr. i Dumba, then the Austro-Hungarian em- ! hassador here, participated in some of t ( the informal conversations with Secre- ' tary Bryan subsequent to thp sinking of ! the Lusitania and became thoroughly fa- ! miliar with the American position, Just ' how far such notification as Embassador - ' 1 mtnba may have given his foreign of- ; fice on the negotiations between the ; United States and Germany ma y affect the present situation is conjectural. In its negotiations thus far with the ; belligerents the A merica 11 government ', has dealt principally with Great Britain i( for the entente nntions and with Germany, i,- in regard to some matters nt least, for the Teutonic allies. : Should later dispatches indicate that the Ancona was torpedoed without warning warn-ing and that Americans aboard her lost their lives, the first step would be a note ! of inquiry to "Embassador Penfied at ; Vienna to learn the facts from the Austrian Aus-trian government. Embassador Page at ' Rome also would be similarly directed to I.', send such information as he could obtain ,' : from Italy and for affidavits from the ,. j survivors of the circumstances under which the vessel was sunk. Probably no formal action would be taken pending receipt re-ceipt of this data. |
