Diplomatic Break With Austria Raises War Fears
Reports indicate Austria has severed relations with the United States as Germany’s allies move toward possible war.

Safe conduct for ex officials will be sought, while Spain and Sweden prepare to handle Austrian interests. Also a Jamestown fire destroyed property worth about 8000 dollars, the second blaze in ten days.
