Austria Protests Our Right to Sell Munitions.

A note from Austria, the text of which has not yet been published, has been received by the United States. The Austrian government says that our extensive shipments of war supplies from this country to the allies was “not in consonance with the definition of neutrality.” It is understood that Turkey will follow with a protest of the same nature. Germany is thought to be behind both of these and in that case the three countries may be answered in one note which will point out things of a similar character carried out during wars in which this country has participated. The reply to Austria, if sent singularly, will probably be ready in a fortnight. Our government seems to be doing quite a rushing note business right now.
