FORMATION LOOKED FOR FROM PENFIELD Trouble With Austria Seems to Involve GermanyNe gotiations With Teutons As Allies Likely. Washington, Dec. 4 29 Al though the state department bo far has received from Am bassador Penfield at Vienna no forecast of what the Austri an reply to the American note Vill be, it is understood that unless some excellent reason for continuing diplomatic cor respondence on the subject is given in the reply, ho course seems to remain but to break off diplomatic intercourse. The state department expects some information from Ambassador Penfield as the result of his con ferences with Baron .Burian the Austrian foreign minis Advices received recently through Baron Zweidinek, the Austrian charge at Washing ton, were to ,the effect that in answering the note Austria would be guided by concern for the good relations between the two countries. Analysis of this phase led officials here to believe that the Vienna gov ernment would attempt to ar gue the contentions of the Unit ed States and posibly would suggest arbitration. The posi tion of the state department is that there can be no discussion over the official admission o: the Austrian admiralty on which the contentions are bas ed, unless the Austrian govern ment denies the accuracy o that admision, which is con ridered unlikely as the admir alty statement was, forwarded to the state department by the Vienna foreign office, UD RUPTUREr-T Now that the ituatlon, after being tormant nearly twop weeks, la again bfcinnlnr to take on aspects of a i trials the status of the negotiations f the United States over submarine nrfure. njrnJnst merchantmen, not tlth Austria alone but with the.

Three Men Prominent In U. S. Diplomatic Relations Leave t . For Europe on the Same Steamer. New Tork, Deo. 29 Three ipen who figure prominently In the diplo matic relations of the United States have cabins on the Holland-American line steamer Rotterdam which left yesterday for Rotterdam by ' way of Falmouth, England. They are: Colonel E. M. House, friend and confidential adviser of President Wilson, who goes to Europe at the request of the president and secre tary of state, .v Brand Whltlock, United States min ister to Belgium, who returns to his post at Brussels, after ' a ' vacation spent with his family at Toledo, O. Captain Karl Boy-ed, former naval attache of the German embassy at Washington, who Is recalled to Ger many by the kaiser at the request of the United States government because of "improper activity" in naval mat ters. ' Colonel House said on the eve of his departure for Europe that he ex pected to be absent about six weeks, There is much speculation as to the purpose of his European trip. Colonel House a own explanation is that he goes at the request of the president and Secretary Lansing to take Infor mation to some of the American am bassadors in order that they may have more Intimate knowledge of the gov ernment's attitude In regard to cer tain phases of International questions now pending and to obtain their point of view on those matters. Colonel House added that it was not advisable at this time to brintf home any of the ambassadors to bel ligerent capltalsr and that it was found Impossible to' convey to them by cable or correspondence quite the correct atmosphere. ' i On leaving Captain Boy-ed gave out a statement in which he said: "Before this terrific war broke out had the great fortune of having served almost two and a naif yews for my emperor as naval attache to the German embassy at Washington. Those vears belong not only to the most interesting but also to the most j most interesting out also to me moMj-- ------ " ,h. , th- commit- pleasant in my-llfe.

The great and cordial hos pitality which is so proverbial for Americans and which also -was ex tended to me from the very first day of my arrival in the United States I can never forget. ' O'fcourse I refrain at the hour of mv departure from again refuting all the stories which were told about mo In the American papers and which mostly like the silly Huerta tale were invented by the Providence Journal. "This paper, with its British born Mr. Rathoni, has done its utmost to create an almost hysterical suspicion of spy throughout the country In or der to prejudice the public opinion against Germany." Journal Replies. Providence, R. I., Dec. 29. The Providence Journal sent a long wire less dispatch to Captain Karl Boy-ed on the steamship Rotterdam. "Your farewell statement to the American people, insofar as It relates to The Providence Journal," the mes sage said, "is a wilful and deliberate falsehood. Has the Providence jour nal created a hysterical suspicion con cerning the destruction of American factories, the murder of American workmen, or the dally plots agalnkt th neace and safety of this govern ment and Its cltisens slmost all "of which acts havs been fatrered ana u nanced from your own office? Every word of what the Journal has pub lished with regard to your personal connection with these plots has been true and nobody knows it better than yourself." The message ends with this declar ation: "You know well the reason why the United States government re fused to permit you to rental any longer.

The final draft of the bill will be presented to President Wilson for his approval, since It Is to have the back ing of the administration, soon after his return f.o Washington, from his wedding trip. .

It would also provide for the use of these vessels when required bv the government for military pur poses as naval auxiliaries or as army transports. A clause is to be Inserted in any contract for their lease provldlngtJi.it In time of war the government may Immediately claim them. The government, however, proposes to retain the right to operate these vessels, if the need arises, as mer- chant vessels. This is the feature which has caused all the trouble In the past over the bill and which pre vented Its passage at the last session of congress.' It was pointed out by a supporter of the measure that if the proposed law should provide merely that the ships should be built or purchased with government money, or money obtained through the sale of Panama canal bonds,' and then should be leased to the highest bidder, the gov ernment would be at the mercy of the shipping trust "These gentlemen would be only too el ad to have the United States provide them vessels which they might operate. he said. 'There would he nothing to prevent them pooling their bids and then the government would have to take the best terms It could get It to absolutely essential that the government retain the right to operate these ships if it becomes necessary to do so. This would not mean that .the government need ever do so, for I believe that merely to retain that right would be all that was necessary." The bill as drafted proposes that the secretary of the treasury be au thorixed Immediately to Issue 000,000 of Panama canal .bonds to pay for these vessels. In order, to put the act Into effect Immedlitely. the bill carries an appropriation of $10,004. 000 and. In lieu of that appropriation It Is provided that the secretary of the tressury may Immediately sell 1 10.000.000 worth of Panama canal bonds. The bill provides for the creation of a shipping board, consisting of the secretaries of the navy snd commerce end three commissioners, to be ap pointed by the president and confirm ed by the senate. The three commis sioners ere to be paid 110,000 a year each. The board la to be called the united shipping board. The president under the proposed law. may charter, lease or transfer j such naval auxiliaries, army vessels and those belonging-to the Panama Railroad company as c be spared for commercial usee.

London, Dec. 29. At yesterday's meeting of the British cabinet it was practically decided that the govern ment may have to use compulsion in order to bring unmarried men to the colors in order that Premier Asqulth's pledge to married men may be kept. There was not a complete agreement. however, among the ministers con eerning the question of conscription which has vexed the government for many weeks. It is considered that the crisis which threatened the disruption of the gov ernment may yet be averted, and that the formal announcement of the de ciaion to Inaugurate the new policy will be deferred until a meeting of the cabinet on Thursday. It is stated on excellent authority that the cabinet has virtually decldea upon a modified form of conscription bill, to be introduced in the house of commons next week, giving the government tne necessary power, quith's pledge to married men Therefore it was resolved that at the earliest opportunity a Din snouia iDe introduced in parliament in order ithat the government might have the neCessary power,-should It be found that no other course was effective to this end The line of policy upon which a ma jority of the ministers agree innicat ing that, some, at least, of the anti conscriptionist section of the cabinet so far waived their principle as to consent to a modified application of force is as follows: First, that the premier's pledge to married men is binding on the whole government. Second, that the pledge should be redeemed forthwith. Third, that the principle of compul sion 8iould be accepted. Fourth, that tho premier should an nounce this policy at the earliest op portunity after the re-assembling of parliament. Premier Asqutth ; is . . .expected ... to ninke.a statement, oh "the whole flues tion in the house of commons on Wednesday or Thursday of next week and announce the speedy introduction of a bill of a. permissive character, making service in the army obligatory on unmarried men who have failed to attest under the Derby scheme.
