There were no developments today to alleviate the serious situation that threatens a rupture of diplomatic relations between the United States and Austria- - lungary. Officials continued studiously reticent, but "word that the American note on the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona, with loss of American lives, had reached the Vienna foreign office yesterday led to a feeling that the question would resolve itself one way or the otiier without much delay. 12, 12.P..J a. m.

A copy of the Ancona note, which rtill be given out for publlcalton in morning papers of next Monday, today was handed to Baron Zwiedinek, charge of the Austrian embassy here, by Secretary Lansing, and it is understood the two discussed the situation briefly and Informally. It was said the talk merely was incidental, the charge having called at the state department to explain how he came to write a letter to the n consul general at New York early in the war suggesting thai passports of neutral countries be purchased for Austrian reservists In this country. The letter was published today and a photographic copy was delivered to Secretary Lansing' by--a Xetr-Yrrl- c newspaper. Raron Zwiedinek explained that when he wrote tiie letter he was a subordinate official of the embassy, then in charge of Dr. Constantin Dumba, since recalled. It could not be ascertained whether the explanation was satisfactory. It was apaprent tonight that officials who have read the note to Austria viewed the situation as seriouf, the opinion prevailing as strongly as ever that diplomatic relations were in danger of being broken off unless Vienna complied immediately with the American demands.

The Hague, Dec. 11. Neither encouragement, recognition nor support, in any shape or form, will be offered to the Ford peace party by The Netherlands government, according to information from official sources, given to a correspondent of the Associated Press. Government officials, it was in timated, naturally noted the party's departure and also received a notification- thereof from the leader, but no reply was forwarded. No opposition will be placed in the way of the party's landing in Holland, but should the activities of its members become embarrassing while here, they will in all probability be request-to ed to transfer their headquarters other than Dutch territory. Private many in pacificists, of whom there are welcome this country, probably will the Ford party as an addition to their . - ranks. The Impression prevails that the general public and the press are inclined to regard the Ford party without the slightest interest, as the opinion is widely prevalent here that peace will not be achieved by the efforts of a result of hard pacificists, but Inas which one antagobattles fought succumbs. nist T .v.

In passing sentence Judge Howell said he was forced by the two convictions to believe there was no doubt Martin was the man or leader cf the gang that committed a series of crimes in this city and as such a criminal should receive a. life sentence. But the judge declared that if Martin could show he received the wounds in his leg in any other manner than at the hands of Dave Edwards, a detective, then the judge would be the first to take in his behalf. Martin received the severe sentence without emotion and maintained thf same composure that has always marked his appearance in the Second district court room. The lengthy summary of the case as made by the jude, topether with the court's conclusions, he heard with apparent interest, but with no show of feeling. Plan tn Appeal. John G. Willis and D. L. Stin, counsel for Martin, asked that a transcript of the proceedings in the recent trial be ordered made, as it was their intention to appeal the case to the supreme court. Judge Howell, previous to sentencing Martin, denied Martin's request for a new hearing. Sentence passed today was the result of Martin's conviction ten flays ago of the charge of having robbed Mrs. Isabella Boyle Wallin October 28. 1011.
