A BAREFACED NOT
AUSTRIA WELL-SNUBBED BY BRITAIN London, January 11. Replying to a Note from Austria, stating that she will hold the British Government responsible for the safety of Austro-Hungarinn subjects being repatriated from India, Sir Edward Grey says lie is astonished at the request, as tho Austrians themselves were one- of the authors of tlie submarine danger. It is the Austro-Germans themselves who carry .on this novel and inhuman form of warfare, wliicli disregards all the hithorto accepted principles of international law. By asking for special precautions to protect her own subjects, Austria practically declares that the sinking of the Lusitania and Persia was part of a settled and premeditated policy. Britain does not propose to take special precautions in the present case.
