SETTLEMENT OF SERVIAN
TROUBLE NOW EXPECTED
Agreement With Austria Is
Thought Close at Hand

LONDON, March 27-Official cable
grams which passed between London
and Vienna today support the hope
that an amicable settlement of the
Austrian-Ser crisis is appreciably
nearer. Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary. and baron Won Aeh-
renthal, the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister, have not as yet decided upon
the wording of the note in which Ser
via is to make formal remuneration of
its aspirations, but the difference be-
tween the two ministers are so small
that diplomats hold it to be inconceiv-
able that they can stand in the way of
an agreement.
VIENNA, March 27.-According to
official reports from Belgrade. the Ser
Wan premier tomorrow will publish a
rescript dismissing all the Servian re-
servists.
1t is semiofficially reported that Ser
Was dismissal sof the reservists would
not in itself satisfy Austria, which de-
mands the abandonment of all the Ser
Wan claims made in connection with
the annexation Of Bosnia and Herzego-
vina.
1t is further stated that unless Ser
via gives precise declaration by Mon
day Of her intentions, count Formach
the Austrian ambassador at Belgrade.
will present the final note of the Aus
tro-Hungarian government on Monday
evening.

WOOD PULP PAPER
DISCOVERY MADE
Minnesota University Professor
Discusses Perfected
Process
Vast Increase in Output Is
Made Possible, 1t Is
Asserted

MINNEAPOLIS. March 27-What is
considered a significant Industrial dis
covery was claimed today by Dean
George B. Frankforter of the college
Of chemistry of the University of Min
nesota- 1t means. he asserts. that the
United States will produce a hundred
times as much wood pulp as was be-
lieved possible and that every cord OF
fir lumber viii yield $40 profit on by
products alone and that the greater
part Of the so per cent OF a tree now
wasted will be turned into profit.
PROCESS As PERFECTED
The perfected process consists OF
taking small pieces of waste wood or
dust, laying it on steel incline over
furnace and subjecting it to a ehemi-
cal process of distillation Carbon
bisulphide or gasoline is poured over
the sack dust. dissolving the turpen-
tine and rosin. which pass off as gas
into coil of pipe leading to a tank.
The process is similar to the distil-
lation of sugar. Wood pulp remains
free from pitch and is suitable. II is
asserted. for the manufacture of paper.
HOW DISCOVERY WAS MADE
The common method OF distillation
leaves the pulp in the form of charcoal
chemically Of little value
Doctor Frankforter extracted from
one cord of Norway pine worth $3.50
turpentine worth SAL and wood pulp
worth $50. or yield of $50 from 81 so
worth of raw material Walking one
day in 1897 through the pine woods oc
northern Minnesota Doctor Frank
forter noted an old stump. which gave
out an odOr not unlike that of ordf-
nary turpentine. He took a piece OF
the stump back to the university and
began TO experiment. Within a week
he hit upon the present process, which
later he perfected Al a small expert
mental plant erected near his home.

DAYS OF ROMANCE IN

Rumor having got about concerning

with mysterious symbols, human skulls
and bones heads of various animals,

old and supposed to be fabulously

TOTS LOST IN
PANHANDLE WOODS
Brothers Wander About Park
Until NightfOyertakes Them

Abraham and Hynan Boarder, tots
of and 8, found the bears and buff
faIoes and elk at the park so inter-
esting that they failed to take heed as
the long afternoon wore away. They
talked in their story book dialect to
the animals and watched them at play.
Then they chased a wisp of a bunny
across the fields. 1t was not until the
twilight star appeared that they began
to think OF home. For a long time they
trudged through the park. It grew
dark and the way seemed longer than
1t had been in the morning.
Finally when tiny feet could plod
no farther, tears welled in tired eyes.
Together they crawled into a barn near
the panhandle. They tried to sleep.
For a while they succeeded. Then the
younger awoke. He reused his brother.
Tears broke out afresh and then the
two began to sob. Policeman D. ].
