pachitch and Minister Confer

Belgrade, November 12.-The newspaper
Pravda says that the Austro- Hungarian
minister called today on Premier Pachtch
and proposed that Servia should give
guarantees that Austro-H hungarian indus
try and commerce would receive preferen-
tial treatment; that Servia should not
touch Albania and should not insist upon
an outlet to the Adriatic, but be satisfied
with an outlet to Aegean sea.
The minister personally advised the
premier to do his utmost to induce the
Servian government to accept these con-
ditions which, he declared would do
much to improve relations between the
two countries.
Premier Pachiteh replied that he could
rot give an answer until he had conferred
with the other minister. He had referred
the matter TO King Peter and the gov
ernments of the other allied states and
requested the Austro-H Hungarian minister
to use his good offices TO induce his
government TO waive Its demands, which
would be the best way for Austria-Hun-
gary to display friendship, otherwise i'll
feeling on the part of Servia towards
Austria Hungary would increase TO the
derlment of both countries.

Against Special Privilege


..'rhe great argument-you will not sus-
pect me of touching upon a party ques-
tion--against special privilege is simply
the argument that it gives one set Of
people an advantage that others do not
enjoy and therefore is not a basis Of
moral equality or of equality of oppor-
tunity. So that society is constantly
studying its moral responsibilities.
For. after all. morals sadly need but
tressing in all of us. We are very much
more trustworthy when we are amongst
good people than when we are amongst
bad people. A bad example is dreadfully
contagious, even with the best of us. And
It would not do for any OF us to live
too long In the environment from which
some OF these poor girls have been res
cured. We are susceptible OF damage in
our morals. II is almost terrible to think.
aside from the providence and grace OF
God of how much of our morals de-
ponds upon the watohful eyes of our
nelghbors."
