FULL TEXT OF AUSTRIAN
NOTE NOW MADE PUBLIC
Washington Receives Complete jCopy of Protest Against
Munitions Sales to Allies United States
May Make No Reply.
Wasiiinoto.v. Aur. 1. The corrected
text of tho Austro-llunRnrlan note to
the United States protcstlns against
the continued trade In war materials
between the United States nnd the Allies
was m.itle public here to-night by the
Austro-tlunRarlan Kmbassy.
Upon receiving tho permission of the
United States Oovcrmncnt the Austro
Hungarian Government made the note
public In Vienna early In July, but only
portions of It were cabled to tho United
States, lly an accident a whole page
of the note was lost In transmission
from the American Kmbassy In Vienna
to Washington, so that the Stntc De
partment wilt for, the first tlmo have
before It tho complete official text when
to-morrow's papers nre published. The
missing page Is coming by mall but has
not et been received.
The complete text reveals more clearly
than the press reports from Vienna the
lengths to which the Government of the
dual monarchy goes In objecting to the
sale of war material to the Atllcs by
persons In the United States. The note
admits, that tho trndo Is permitted by
law, but declares tho spirit of the law
Is violated by the proportions which this
trade has a hp tuned In the United States.
Asks Kmlinrico on Arms.
it asks, therefore, that the United
States enact legislation Imposing nn em
bargo on tho shipment of war materials
to the Allies. If, as Is the case, the
United States should consider this nn net
of unneutral character toward tho Al
lies. Austria-Hungary suggests that this
objection may be overcome by n threat
to Cheat Ilrltaln and her Allies that
unless they permit lietmany nnd Austria
Hungary to import "foodstuffs nnd raw
miterlals" from the United States the
United States will cut off their supply
of such article from this country.
This last proposal Is Justified by the
Austrn-Hungarlan Government on the
ground that It would preserve "the free
dom of the seis" and would nlsn serve
to deft at the "criminal" attempt of
Great Hrltnln to starve out Germany
nnd her allies.
The Austro. Hungarian Government
declares that only consideration for Its
Interests, suffering "grave Injury" from
tho trade In war materials. Impelled It
to call the attention of the United States
to a mittcr which already has been the
occasion of representations by Germany.
It Is assumed here that this refers to
Ambassador UernstorlTs memorandum,
delivered In April, to which President
Wilson himself made a most decisive
answer, repudiating the Ambassador's
suggestions for a change of nollev r-
l gaming mo tratie in war materials from
this country.
Tho Vienna Government admits that
In ordlnnry rlrrumstnnces Article VII.
of the fifth Hague convention, second
- .
"couierence, permits a
neutral to sHI
nrms to n belligerent Power. This
nrtlclo Is ns follows:
"A neutral Power l not called upon
to prevent the export or transport on
behalf of one of the other belligerents
of arms, munitions of war. or. In gen
eral, of anything which can bo of use
to an nrmy or a Meet."
The situation In th present war tran
scends, however, necordlng to Austria
Hungary, the circumstances which this
article was designed to cover. Tho ar
ticle was intended, It Is represented, to
protect merely the normal Industry of
a neutral In such materials. Its spirit
Is violated. Vienna asserts, by the ex
pansion of the normal Industry espe
cially tor the purpose of supplying such
.materials to a belligerent.
A change In the attitude of the United
States toward this trade Is Justified
by the Hague conventions. It is said,
The preamble of the convention of 1907
relating to the rights nnd dutlm of neu
trals In naval warfare Is cited by the
Vienna note ns proof of this assertion.
The preamble Is as follows :
"These rules should not. In prin
ciple, bo altered In the course of ths
war by a neutral Power except In a
case where experience has shown the
necessity for such change for tho pro
tection of the rights of the Power."
It has not btcn decided whether a
reply to the Austro-Hungarlan note will
be sent or not. The decision ,1s waiting
on the receipt of the missing page of the
document. If a reply Is made, however.
It Is certain that It will bo along the
lines nlready made familiar to all con
cerned In the Stone letter and the
President's note to the German Ambas
sador. Full Text of .Voir.
The full text of the Austro-Hungarlan
note to the United (States Is as follows:
The far reaching effects resulting
from the fact that a very extensive trade
In war supplies has been going on for
some time between the United States
and Great Hrltaln and her nllles, while
Austrla-Hungarla and Germany have
been entirely cut off from the American
market, have from the first attracted
the most earnest attention of the Im
perial anil Hoyal Government. If the
undersigned permits himself to take
part In the discussion of a question
which hitherto has been brought to the
attention of the Washington Cabinet
by the Imperlnl German Government
only ho merely follows the dictates of
unavoidable duty In protecting the Inter
ests entrusted to him from further grave
Inlury growing out of the situation nr
footing Germany and Austria-Hungary
enunlly.
"The Imperial and Hoyal Government
Is convinced that the attitude of the
United States Government In this matter
originates from no other Intention than
the maintenance or tne strictest neu
trality and the observance of the letter
of nil the stipulations of International
agreements Involved, but the question
nrlses ns to whether the conditions that
have developed In tho course of the war.
certainly qulto Independently of the will
of the United States Government, nre
not BUch that the very Intention of the
Washington Cabinet Is defeated ; Indeed
that the exactly opposite errect is pro
duced.

affirmative and according to the opin

question automatically ioiiows, namely

whether It Is not possible, Indeed ad
visable, to take measures to provide full

attitude of strict fairness toward both

Hoyal Government does not hesitate to
answer this question also In the affirm
ative, without qualification.
Hefers lo llsmnr Treaties.
"It certainly has not escaped the at
tention of the American Government,
which has cooperated In the work of The
Hague In such n prominent manner, that
the spirit and the letter of the fragmen

tion are not entirely coextensive.
"If one takes Into consideration the
Senesls of Article VII. of tho fifth and
thirteenth conventions respectively,
arise, the neutral Government Is not per
States apparently rests the present case,
and tho wording of which, nn will not
be denied, offers a formal hauls for the
toleration of tho trade In war materials
as carried on nt present by the United
States, It Is not necessary to point out
In order to renllzo the true spirit and
range of this stipulation, which Inci
dentally ceems to have been modified
nlready by prohibiting tho delivery of
wiiishlpH and certain supplies for war
ships of belligerent countries that the
various rights as conceded to neutral
countries In the spirit of the preamble
of the last named convention are limited
by the rc-qulromcntji of neutrality In cor
reHpondence with tho accepted principles
of International law.
"According to ull the authorities on
International law who have especially
dealt with the questions which here
arise, the neutral government Is not per
mitted to allow unhindered trade In con
traband of war If this trade assumes
such proportlonsi that the country's neu
trality Is thereby Impaired.
"In Judging the admissibility of the
trade In contraband of war, one can use
an n. basis any one of the various
criteria established by law, and arrive,
according to each, at the conclusion that
the eximrt of wnr materials from the
United States as It Is carried on In the
preoent war cannot be made to accord
with the tequlrements of neutrality. It

branch of American Industry occupied
with the production of war material

but the creation of new factories, ns

I'ktroorad, Aug. 1. Amid a striking
assemblage of governmental officials and
foreign Ministers the Imperial Duma to
day nt noon Inaugurated a new session
that has been looked forward to by the
empire with tho utmost anxiety. Every
seat In the floor nnd galleries of the
great white walled palace was filled.
The opening speech by President Hod
tlarko made It at once apparent to all
present that the wholo legislative power
of tho newly convened legislative body
would be directed to exploit the country's
resources and encourage ltsi people In tho
production of supplies for the armies In
the Meld.
"Tho more terrible the war becomes,"
declared President Kodzlanko In his In
nugural speech, "the moro firmly and
utishaknbly must Hussla resolve to con
duct It to a successful end. To achieve
this purposo all classes must become
completely unified, nil the nation's pro

President Kodzlanko appealed to the
newly elected memliers of the Duma to
make suggestions to the Government ns
to how this great purposo mlsht best be
accomplished.

When the President nt n later moment

chamber.
The fervor of the Kusslans present
Increased to an even higher pitch when
President Kodzlanko, in the r.sme of
the Kmporor and the eope, thanked
"the brave Italians, our new willies." A
tond of sympathy more than diplomatic
has long existed between the Italian and
Kusslan people. "The Polish brothers
who received the blows of the abomi

said the new Duma leader, "ha fur

sisting the blandishments of Austro-Oer-man
agents and Is reciprocating the
friendship of Russia.
'The Anglo-Swedish negotiation:
which are proceeding at Stockholm,
while they are confined to business mat

desire on both sides to find a basis for
agreement, and we sincerely hope a suc

Referring to the Oerman methods of
waging warfare, M. Sazorroff said the
Germans had stopped "neither at the
wholesale poisoning of our soldiers nor
at the extermination of women, children
nnd peaceful citizens, whose cries could
not fall to arouse sentiments of Just re
pugnance In neutral countries."
"Theso feelings," the Foreign Minis
ter continued, "had spread beyond the
ocean to the United States, where hu
manitarian feelings revolted against
such horrible occurrences ns the sink
ing of tho Lusttanla. which cost so
many American lives. This attack,
whclh has no parallel for cruelty or
absurdity, Is an Ineffaceable blot on
the name of Germany.
"Americans Disgusted."
"It Is difficult to say whether more
energetic measures will follow Trcsl

American public opinion Is disgusted
at Germany's action, In spite of the
efiorts which Germany Is making to
gain American sympathy."
Speaking of the situation on the Gal
llpoli Peninsula, M. Sazonoff said:
"The Allies, with unshakable tenacity,
see the approach of the longed for mo

be established between us. The Turks,
scenting the approaching storm, have
cverwhelmed the Christian peoples still

The Armenians are suffering unheard of
persecutions, which, however, have no
broken their spirit, for Armenian volun
teers are flghfjng with us.
"Persecutions no less terrible suffered
by the local Greek populations cannot
but excite the Indignation of the Hel
lenic people and Government. The lat

whether It Is capable of coming to the
assistance of Its coreligionists In Asia
Minor without Joining the Powers who
