AUSTRIA ANGRY
OVER NOTE
A. P. A, Service.
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 14 Reports
from Vienna today say that the Am
erican note relative to the slnkink of
the Ancona has caused intense ans
to the Auatriun government and offi
cials circles generally are burning
with Indignation over what is consid
ered the effrontery of the United
States In couching her demands in
such pre-emptory tone.
The press have also made much of
the affair and the United States Is
being criticized in no exceedingly hos
tile tone. Judging from the tune of
the reports a diplomatic rupture is con
sidered probable In Vienna. It Is stilt
ed that the Austrian officials are open
ly for breaking off relations with the
United States but are withholding ac
lion for the present until It shall be
decided whether a rupture with the
United States will force Berlin to take
a like step. If It is determined that!
such a result will probably follow, the
matter will be submitted to the Berlin \
government for approval.

ATHENS. Dec. 14. Although Great' j
has delivered her assurances that tie
military operations of the allies wll
r -*t he molested, the entente power
have never the less commenced a sec
.d blocflade of the Ore. ks ports m-’
a large fleet of war vessels is now
engaged in stopping all commerce from
the outside world. The action j
of the allies Is evidently Inspired by a
belief that Greece may refuse at th -
in st minute to live up to her pledge and
cast her lot with the Austrians and
Bulgarians which are now steadily
approaching the Greek boundary in
pursuit of the retreating forces of the
allies. The action of the entente pow
ers has given rise to'no little indigna
tion on the part of the OTer-lc people
who are greatly opposed to the un
warranted blockade.
