AUSTRIAN -ATTACK ON AMERICANS
FOR MUNITIONS' EaTORT
iAttotitttd Rreis RitcrtA
ZURICH June 12 (via London). Off!
clal opinion in Austria which latterly had
been none too friendly to the United
States is manifest tn an attack which
appears in tbe'leading Vienna newspaper
the Neue Frele Fresae against America
for supplying war munitions to the en
tente powers:
Additional 'importance attaches to the
article which Is published with the full
sanction of the government if It is not
directly officially inspired. -
Declaring that Americana have sold
11040000000 worth of munitions of war to
the enemies of Austria and Germany
while the ministers of the American
churches are praying for peace the paper
says:
"Those who bring munitions can not
bring peace. The land where so many
voices are demanding tha breaking off of
relations with Germany can hardly be a
Bethlehem from wblelt the world can gain
a. new salvation i I .a. '-"J-1 . .. ..

wounded by American ammunition.' Much
more than this can not happen and the
difference would be scarcely noticeable.
NOTHING OF HARSHNESS
IS SEEN IN THE NOTE.
The voaaischle zeltung comments on
the communication In the following
terms:
"The note happily contains nothing. o;
that sharpness . which according to dis
patches from .London it was to contain
nor is there even a threat to break off
diplomatic relations. On the contrary the
text does not lack a certain warmth
ana. acknowledgment of the legality to
be found on the German aide.
The line of thought and the tone of the
note do not make it easily understand-
awe mat it Drought about tne oreax
between President Wilson and Mr. Bryan.
After the declarations made by Mr.
Bryan' one expected a note which would
Increase the danger of a German-Amur
lean crisis. Mr. Bryan who stands at
the head of the American peace soclties
and likes to nesr tne people call nira the
Prince of Peace apparently desires to
appear as the rescuer of the nation from
this dander for the sake of Internal uoll-
tlcal reasons and to win for himself
friends among the peace advocates
among the German-Americans the Irish
end the Hebrews perhaps looking ahead
to the next presidential election.
As for Mr. Wilson he seems to bone
to play the role of arbiter between Ger-
many and England and through his great
success in foreign politics to strengthen
his position at borne."
Referring to Kobert iansing the sec re
tarv of state ad interim the Volsslsche
Zeltung says:
"This gentleman can not be regarded
aa an unconditional anaioDhlle: he once
wrote in a letter tnat ne was tirea of
being England s messenger boy."
