Hence, authorities are Inclined to feel that she h.is stretched a point In order to meet the American efTort to avoid a. break. The Government upon first reading of the reply, was Inclined to wait for acts by Ai'strla. Her words official said indi cated a desire on Austria's part to avoid a break with tho United States, even though she supports the "theitrv" of Germany's un limited submarine vsaifare. More significant still it the fart that Austria apparently has no submarines of her own wherewith to catrv out even her threat against enemv merchantmen.
