VIENNA. Dec. 15.-The Austrian ndnliralty approves of the submarine commander’s conduct fully and de- clares that he would have beell con- sidered as having failed to perform ills duty if he had allowed the Ancona io escape. The reply to tile Americall note. it is understood. will be deliver- ed soon. l105Blbly Wednesday. Tho correspondent of the Associated Press has not been able to secure a forecast of llle terms of the reply, but all illdl- cations are that ll. pessimistic view of the situation is justified. The admir- lllty to-day stated its case and the llttltude of the naval authorities as follows:- . "So far as the commander is con- cerned. hls course is clear. The ad- nliralty has received his report, and seas no reason to filld any fault with llis course of action. "lt appears clearly from his report in double danger. first from the fact that an enemy boat was approaching oll a lille that threatened to cut off his retreat. alld the enemy ship, the Ancona, could have establislled his rlldius of action and could have set a torpedo boat ilotilla on him. and second. there was danger of the An- cona escaping, which. according to his instructions, was to be prevented, ill all circumstances. liellce, tho collduct of the colnlllalldcr. much as tho loss of innocent lives must he regretted and dcplored, cannot be disapproved. I ll On the colltrary, if he had depart- ed without destroying the Ancona, it would have been failure to do his duty. since the Ancona could have notified other ships of his whereabouts. The loss of American lives is regrettable, as well as that Ameltlcans used a ves- 50| l>€i0ii8ing to a nation at war with that his ship was in danger; indeo¢1,_ Austria-Hungary."
