AMSTERDAM. July IB.
That tho United States refuse to ex
port arms nnd ammunition to tho Allies
unless they guarantee safe paaaage of
similar shipments to Austria nnd Gcr
many was tho Buggeatlon mado by tho
Austrian Foreign Ofllce In n note de
livered to American Ambassador Pcnflcld,
according to Vienna dispatches today.
The Vienna advices said the noto was
delivered June 29, but that publication
was delayed for some unexplained rea
son. Tho Austrian Foreign Ofnco ox-1
pressed confidence In the Intentions of
the United States to maintain strict neu
trality, but questioned whothcr America
was not deviating from that course by
permitting the sale of munitions to the
Allies when conditions at sea provented
similar shipments to Austria and Ger
many. WASHINGTON.'.July 15.
Rccretnry of State Lansing today stated
that Austria has made representations to
tho American Ambassador at Vienna, ob
jecting to tho wholesalo production of
munitions of war for tho enemies of
Austria In plants established In tho
United States for that purpose. Tho
statement made to Ambassador Pcnflcld
by the Austrian-Hungarian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, In a noto dated June S3,
was received In Washington just previous
to the receipt here of Germany's latest
noto on the Lusltanla case.
Tho Secretary admitted that the re
ported text of the Austrian note handed
to Ambassador Penfleld appeared to be
In harmony with the actual note received
from the Ambassador at the department.
In tho reported text It la pointed out that
"a neutral government cannot bo allowed
to trade In contraband Unhindered If It
takes tho form or dimensions whereby
the neutrality of the country will be en
dangered. Tho export of war material
from the United States as a proceeding
of the present war la not In consonance
with the definition of neutrality. The
American Government, therefore, Is un
doubtedly entitled to prohibit tho export
of war material."

"Little Italy" Is moro deeply stirred
over the murder of Loula Llsta by hlB

othcr crlmo committed In that quarter for
many years. Tho woman surrendered to
tho pollco late yesterday after hiding

Residents of the neighborhood, rather
thnn condemning her act, are making
concentrated effort to give her tho best
financial nnd legal support.
The unlvorsal opinion In tho Italian sec
tion Is that Mrs. Llsta is a "good
woman." For years sho supported her
family by selling herbs on Christian
street near Oth, nnd In return for her ef
forts Is said to have suffered almost con
stant abuse nnd beatings from her hus
band, who refused to work nnd had the
reputation of being a perpetual drunkard
who gambled away all that his wlfo

Among the prominent Italians who have
