'AUSTRIA TRIES TO j AVOID U.S. BREAK Plans Every Reasonable Sacri fice to Keep Relations Open With America By Associated Press Berne, Switzerland, March 1; via l Paris, March 2.—The recent report that | the Auetro-llungarian Government Has I determined to make e\ery effort to | maintain diplomatic relations with the j L'nltfd Ftntos is corroborated by infor mation reaching heer from Vienna. The strong impression prevails that Austrl | Hungary intends to make every sacri j flee which it regards is reasonable to j avoid a rupture, although such action I apparently would mean flying in the ! fact of Oermany. An American in close touch with Austrian diplomatic affairs who arrived I in Rerne to-day, said that opffiion was ' divided among those underlying the di vergence fro tnihe policy of Germany. One group, he said, believed Germany was acquiesced for the purpose of pre serving unbrokeri-an Indirect bond be tween herself and the United States while the other group was convinced that Austria was asserting independ -1 ence of Germans. That the American embassy at Vi , enna is not expecting an immediate break Is perhaps Indicated by the action of Joseph C. Grew, counsellor of the embassy, who telegraphed to Mrs. Grew to go to Vienna. Shu will depart to morrow. The Basler Nachrichten reports from Vienna that it is officially confirmed negotiations with the United States are I still in progress, and that it is tn- I nounced semi-offloially that the date for j Austria's reply to the American memo- I randum has not- been settled, as the | examination of questions of interna- I tional law brought up by the American | note has not been concluded by tho 1 foreign office. Predicts Call For Men Will Not Be Readily Answered Newspapers and periodical maga | zincs are partly responsible for the in difference of many American people j toward the international situation, ! Benjamin M. Nead told members of | the Harrlsburg Democratic Associa [ tion. In an address last night, in the I Board of Trade building. Mr. Nead referred to the display of j national patriotism during the Span j ish-American war, and said that lack I of interest in the present crisis Is due to the sensational developments re ! ported almost dally. He predicted j a call for volunteers would not be an -1 swered as readily as in '9B. ! THCDERSTORMS, MORE SNOW, AND TIGHT RIVER. RECORD | Two thunderstorms, more than I fourteen inches of snow, and the river frozen during the entire month are I records for February, according to the report of Forecaster E. R. Demain.
