Washington D. C Dec. 12. The secretary of state to Ambassador Pen-
field: Department of State.
Washington D. C Dec. 6 1915 Please deliver a note to the minister
or foreign affairs textually as follows:
Reliable information obtained from American and other survivors who
were passengers on the steamship Ancona shows that on November 7 a
submarine flying the Austro-Hungarian flag fired a solid shot toward the
steamship; that thereupon the Ancona attempted to escape but being over-
hauled by the submarine she stopped; that after a brief period and before
the crew- and passengers were able to take to the boats the submarine fired
a number of shells at the vessel and finally torpedoer and sank her while
there were yet many persons on board; and that by gun-fire and foundering
of the vessel a large number of persons lost their lives or were seriously
injured among whom were citizens of the United States.
The public statement of the AustroIIungarian admiralty litis been brought
to the attention of the government cf the United States and received care-
ful consideration. This statement substantially confirms the principal de-
claration of the survivors as it admits that the' Ancona after being shelled
was torpedoed and sunk while persons were still on board.
The Austro-Hungarian government has been advised through the cor-
respondence which has passed between the United States and Germany
of the attitude of the government of the United States as to the use of sub-
marines in attacking vessels of commerce and the acquiescence of Germany
in that attitude yet with full knowledge on the part of the Austro-Hungarian
government of the views of the government of the United States as ex-
pressed in no uncertain terms to the ally of Austria Hungary the com-
mander of the submarine which attacked the Ancona failed to put in a place
of safety the crew and passengers of the vessel which they purposed to
destroy because it is presumed of the Impossibility of taking it Into port
as a prize of war.
The government of the United States considers that the commander
violated the principles of international law and of humanity by shelling and
torpedoing the Ancona before the persons on board had been put in a
place of safety or even given sufficient time to leave the vessel. The con-
duct of the commander can only be characterized as wanton slaughter of.
defenseless non-combatants since at the time when the vessel was shelled
and torpedoed she was not it appears resisting or attempting to escape; :
and no other reason Is sufficient to excuse such an attack not even the
possibility of rescue.
The government of the United States Is forced therefore to conclude:
either that the commander of the submarine acted in violation of his in-
structions or that the imperial and royal government failed to issue In-
structions to the commanders of its submarines in accordance with the lawsj
of nations and the principles of humanity. The government of the United j
States is unwilling to believe the latter alternative and to credit the Austro-Hungarian
government with an Intention to permit its submarines to
destroy the lives of helpless men women and children; it prefers to believe
that the commander of the submarine committed this outrage without author-
ity and contrary to the general or special instructions which he had re-
ceived. As the good relations of the two countries must rest upon a common re-
gard for law and humanity the government of the United States cannot be
expected to do otherwise than to demand that the imperial and royal gov-
ernment denounce the sinking of the Ancona as an illegal and indefensible
act; that the officer who perpetrated the deed be punished and that repara-
tion by the payment of an Indemnity be made for the citizens of the United
States who were killed or Injured by the attack on the vessel.
The government of the United States expects that the Austro-Hungarian
government appreciating the gravity of the case will accede to Its de-
mands promptly; and It rests this expectation on the belief that the Austro-
Hungarian government will not sanction or defend an act which is con-
demned by the world as inhuman and barbarous which is abhorrent to
all ciivlized nations and which has caused the death of Innocent American
citizens. j

LITTLE TOWN
BEST FRUIT AND MELON SECTION
OF THE STATE IS MAKING RAP-
ID AND SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS.
Jess Holland of Oil City was in
Ardmore today en route from Tliack-
crvilie to his home. Mr. Holland was
formerly a resident of Tha kervllle
and states that it is one of the most
thriving litlle towns in the state.
Tliackervilte has ten stores and other
business houses in proportion includ-
ing a gin and blacksmith shop. Mr.
Holland states that since he left there
the farmers throughout that section
are rapidly becoming land owners In-
stead of tenants and that they are
building better houses and barns than
ever the old settlers enjoyed.
Thackervllle and vicinity is noted
for the quality and size of the water
melons grown and there is no finer
fruit country in the state than that
section.
Tomatoes are shipped from there to
the north Texas markets and this Item
alone is the source of a great deal of
Income to the farmers In that vicinity.
Mr. Holland states that Thackerville
and vicinity is to be congratulated
upon its progress and looks to see
the town grow to be the largest in
Love county.
