AUSTRIA MAKES REPLY
«•, w
Says Neutral Ships Should
Spared, but Not People on
Enemy Vessels
'Aaa*wtntrA Vrraa Diavatch]
London, March 6, 7:55 a. m.—
T lie American ambassador at
Vienna has been handed the reply
of the Austrian government in the
restricted submarine warfare, ac-
cording to a Vienna dispatch to
Reuters by way* of Amsterdam.
The reply declares that neutrals
are responsible tor losses they suf-
fer by entering the territory where
the submarine operations are tak-
ing place.
The reply of the Austrian gov-
ernment to the second American
note in regard to the sinking of
the Ancona contained the follow-
ing paragraph.
“The Austro-Hungarian govern-
ment positively concurred in the
principle that enemy private ves-
sels, so far as they do not flee or
offer resistance, shall not be de-
stroyed before the persons aboard
are rescued.”
It is added, however, that mere-
ly neutral persons riding on ships
of the enemies should not expect,
and could not always E>e accorded
this same consideration as if they
were on neutral ships.
The American ntttt*. which was dis-
alchtal to Vienna oil Fell. IX, asked
sflfhnlly whether the Austrian us-
[trances given following the sinking
f the Ancona and the Persia had
ism nullified. Tim reply says .“that
hatever attitude the Washington
iblnet tua.v take as to individual
nest Ions raised here" (lie Austro-
ImiKarian government Is “essential
in accord with the American govern
lent is “essentially In aecord with
u* American government in regard to
lie protection of neutrals against en-
angerlng their lives.”
The memorandum then maintains
mt “neutrals subjects have to hear
icmsolvos all losses they suffer by
ntering territory where warlike «|s>ra-
lons are taking place." After a
'iigth.v discussion of the British
lockade, which It declares Is illegal,
lie memorandum continues:
“The principle that neutrals should
hjoy Id war times the advantages of
lie freedom of the seas refers only to
eutral vessels and not to neutral i>er-
inis aboard enemy vessels.”
Tlie reply further contends that liel-
gerents are entitled to decide for
liemselves what measures should la?
nkeu against an enemy in. sen traffic
ml concludes:
“In such cases neutrals have no oth-
r legitimate interests and therefore no
■gal claim other that that a belltger-
ht inform them in time of a prohibi-
ten directed at an enemy so that they
an avoid entrusting their lives and
heir goods to enemy vessels.”
The test of (lie reply is quoted as
ollows in a later Vienna dispatch to
tenters:
“From the memorandum of Feb. IS,
f the American ambassador, tlie Aus-
rtau foreign minister has concluded
hut the Washington cabinet. In view
f tire statements made on Feb. 10
f last, year and on January 11 of
ill7 l>y the Austro-Hungarian govern-
nent. is now iu doubt regarding the
ttliude which Austria-Hungary will
lenceforth observe regarding the sub-
imrlnc war and as to whether the as-
u ranees given hy the Anstro-ITiuigiiri-
iii government to the Washington cab-
net In the course of negotiations alsmt
lie Ancona and Persia pai>ers have not
icon nullified hy the aforementioned
itatement The Austrtan-Hungarlan
toi ernuient la ready to make a dear
mil definite statement so that these
loubfs may he solved.
"Tlie Austro-Hungarian government
nay la* allowed first of all to discuss
ulefly the methods employed try the
niteate powers in waging submarine
vnr. because they are the starting
mint for the intensified submarine
surface begun by Austro-Hungary and
her allies and nlso throw a bright
light upon the attitude which the Aus-
tro-Hungiiriaii government inis taken
hitherto iu regard lo tlie questions
which have arisen. When (treut
Britain joined tlm war against tlie
Central Powers, only a few years laid
elapsed since that memorable time
when she. in union with other stules
began to lay tlie foiidatlou at The
llugitf for modern nuvul law. Soon af-
terward tlie British government had
assembled in Holland representatives
of tlie great sea itowers iu order to
consolidate the further work of The
Hague conference and in the sense of
a just arrangement between interested
belligerents and neutrals. Those ef-
forts aimed at nothing less than the
mutual establishment of principles of
right, which,oven in war times, should
embody tin* principles of freedom of
the sens and the safeguarding of the
interests of neutrals.
“Neutrals were not lo enjoy (hose
Imnefits for long. Hardly hud the
i'uitcd Kingdom decided to purtieiimte
in the war when, almost ut once, it be-
gan to lu-taik down tiic barriers which
International law Imd erected. While
tlie Central Powers, in tlie very be-
ginning of the war, Imd declared that
they would observe the declaration of
Imndon. which also bore the signature
of the brllisli representative Groat
Britain threw overlaiard some of its
inqmrtant provisions. In an effort to
cut off the Central Powers from sup-
plies from overseas, she enlarged, step
hy step, the list of contraband until
nothing was missing In the list of tilings
which toduy men want for their sub-
sistence.
“Then Kngtnud proclaimed that she
called a blockade of the coasts of the
North Sea. which form also an Im-
portant commerce route for ( Austro-
Hungarians. in order to prevent goods
which were still missing In the list
of contraband from entering Germany
and In order to prevent all sea traffic
hy neutrals to those coasts as well as
all exports through lived rats. That
this blockade was a flagrant contradic-
tion to the customary principles of the
right of blockade as established by In-
ternational agreements was explicitly
declared by the president of the United
States of America in words which will
continue to live iu the history of in-
ternational taw.
“By the illegal prevention of ex-
|sirts from the Central Powers Great
Britain alined at paralyzing the
countless factories and works which
the industrial and highly developed
lieople* of Central Europe had created
ami, by forcing workmen to.be idle, to
incite them to rebellion.
“When Austria-Hungary's southern
neighbor joined the 'enemies of .(he
Central Powers, ids first act was de-
clare as blockaded, all coasts of the
tlie enemy following, of course, tin1 ex-
ample of ids allies iu ignoring all of
the legal rights in tlie creation of
which Italy Imd taken' an active part
a short time before, Austria-Hungary
did not neglect to Inform neutral pow,
ers at once that tlie blockade was not
legal.
“For inure than two years tlie Cen-
tral Powers hesitated. Only then and
after long and careful consideration of
pros and cons, did they begin to return
like -for like and attacked the enemy
on tlie seas. As tlie only ones of tlie
belligerents who imd done everything
to secure tin* existing treaties which
were guaranteed to neutrals the free-
dom of tlie sens they regretted tlie ne-
cessity which comma mbs] them to vio-
late this freedom. But they took this
step to fulfill tlie paramount duty to-
wards their peoples and from the con-
viction Hint it would help the prin-
ciple of the freedom of the seas to lie
victorious. Tlie proclamations which
they issued last January are appar-
ently directed only against tlie rights
of neutrals. In reality they serve to-
wards t)ie restoration of these rights^
which their enemies have incessantly'
vlolatevl and which, if they were vic-
tors, they would destroy forever. Thus
the submarine which are cruis-
ing around the English coast an-
nounce to tlie peoples who need the sen
—and what peoples does not want
coasts?—that the day is not far off
when the flags of all states in the
glory of their newly won freedom, can
freely fly over the seas.
“We cherish the hope that this an-
nouncement will find an echo every-
where neutral peoples live and that It
will especially be understood by the
great peoples of the United States

“For the dispatch of these Instruc-

Hie Americans came into [xissesslon of

That these instructions should have
fallen into American hands is a mis-
fortune, but that does not, utter the
fact that, the step was necessary for

“I-oast Of all are they in America
justified in lielng excited about our

IKise that the stop made n particularly
deep impression abroad. It Is regard-

Josef Hoffmann's Attraction for Go-
dowsky—Pays Him High TribuUv
Icopold Godowsky enjoys tlie friend-
ship of ills colleagues in the realm of
musical endeavor.
Josef Hoffmann, ns a rule a quiet
and especially undemonstrative Indi-
vidual. waxes enthusiastic when Go-
dowsky is the theme of his discourse.
The ivvuin are friends of long
standing, with esteem and respect for
each other's finer qualities; mutuality
of artistic interests and appreciations.
Hoffmann is keenly sensitive of
tlie ideality of his friend's on Hook up-
on art, music and the culture-trend of
modern thought.
In a recent issue of "Vanity Fair”
Josef Hoffmann writes eloquently
about Godowsky. To quote: “A few
days ago'I was asked by a friend Why
it is that “ever.vivody loves Godowsky,"
1 answered: “Because Ids character
is as true as gold a1id hLs art as pure
as crystal. Little wonder that every
laxly that knows him and hLs art
loves him.
“With (his happy combination of
high personal and artistic qualities
Godowsky exerts a strong influence
pon his fellow-artists, I doubt if
there are many pianists today that
have not: learned something from him.
I know I did and am thankful for It.
If Chopin is regarded as the spirit of
piano composition, Godowsky repre-
sents the spirit, of pianlstio expression,
although his art aims still higher,
since lie is not only a reproductive
artist but n creative one qs well." He
also says: “Not only the popular but
some time even banal melodies and
mimical thoughts turn Into poems of
bewitching beauty when touched by
beautifying art. When we hear Go-
dowsky play Johann Strauss’ Fleder-
mans: KueustlerFelien: Weln, Weih
and Gesang, we cannot help wonder-
ing whether Strauss himself ever
dreamed of such beauties oj harmony
and of such dignity of polyphony, ns
Godowsky imparts to them. Though
a Smalt man in stature Godowsky Isa
great master in his art.”

A Merry Festivity That Brings
Brightness to the Hearts of the
People—More of Social Than
Religious Observance.
The Feast, of I’urim or Lots,
which falls this year on -March 8
(corresponding to Hie fourteenth day
of Adar of tho Hebrew calendar), Is
a Joyous minor festival of the Jewish
race and is celebrated by them hi
commemoration of their auspicious
deliverance from imminent destruc-
tion, as narrated with fine dramatic
power in the Book of Esther.
The Furlni story takes us back for
Its setting to ancient Persia. Hainan
prime minister of the realm and pam-
pered favorite of the king, feeling
himself especially affronted because
•the Jew Mordecni, alone of those at
tlie palace gate had refused him
homage, came to cherish not only a
rankling resentment against (lie one
Jew who had crossed him, but also a
passionate animosity against, all Jews
as such.
In order to work their ruin he ca-
lumniated them to the king, accusing
them of clannishness and luck of
patriotism, of being alien enemies aud
the like—false charges which have
become the .stock in trade of anti-Sem-
ites ever since. Happily the appeal
to race and religions prejudice diA
not, in this Instance at least, lend to
outright massacre of the Jews. The
brave Intercession of Queen Esther
fwho, In her elevation to -the throne
did not forget her people, saved tlie
Jews from the cruel fate which
threatened the arch plotter, Hainan,
came to an ignominious end. And
Mordeeai, in recognition of the puli
lie service lie had rendered, was' given
high office. To celebrate tlie happy
outcome, the festival of Purlm was
instituted as an annual day of re-
joicing, a day of sending of gifts to
friends and remembering tlie jioor.
Naturally enough, Purim .came to
have a strong popular appeal to the
Jew during the later centuries of
persecution. The story of deliver-
ante which Purim told spelt a mes-
sage of hope and courage to those
undergoing sore oppression. And the
merry festivities with which the holi-
day was celebrated brought bright-
ness and cheer hi to the gloom of the
Ghettos. The spirit of Purim was
throughout more social than religi-
ous. Its observance in the synagogue
was limited to the reading of the
Book of Esther from the traditional
scroll. in and outside of the home,
masquerades, plays and . other enter-
tainments made up the celebration.
The name I’urim Is derived, accord-
ing to the etymology given -in the
Book of Esther from a Persian word
meaning “lots,” the name being given
to the festival because Hainan is said
to ’..are cast lots In order to deter-
I mine the day on which to carry out
I his plot against tbe Jews.
