FRANCE IN DANGER
FROM HER FRIENDS !?

London, Dec. 9,--No explanation is yet
forthcoming of the sudden resignation
of the Austro- Hungarian minister of war,
Gen. Auffenberg, and the chief of general
staff, Gen. Schemua. They have said
that their action was due to personal
reasons, but coming at such a time as
the present it cannot be doubted that it
will have wide political significance
It had been expected that in the event
of war Gen. Won Hoetzendorf would be
appointed chief of staff and his appoint
ment now to succeed Gen. Schemua,
coupled with the news of the renewal Of
the Dreibund and that Austria and Hun
gary have negotiated temporary loans
of $50,G00,000, cannot but have a disquiet-
ing effect on the international situation.
1t is supposed that Austria wishes pos
sibly to exert a strong influence over the
coming conference proceedings in Lon
don and especially To- prevent the entry
of Turkey into the Bankan federation.
The Austrian war party is known
to be inflamed against Russia in the
belief that the defiant Aussian atti-
tude is>due to the Franco Russian al
lance, and some of the Austrian news
papers, representing the war party.
are urging that unless Russia cease
mobilization, the Powers. comprising
the Triple Alliance, should fall upon
France and crush her before Russia
is able to intervene. The war fever is
having disastrous effect on Aus
tro- Hungary trade. A complete fl
nancial panic prevails throughout
Italy.
1t was reported at Paris, today,
that the entire Austrian fleet had con
centrated at Pola. the chief naval sta
ton of Austria Hungary

THE NEW ROUND HOUSE
Work Started on Big Structure For

Contractor jacobson, of Marshall
town, began active operations on the
new NJ. 4 st l.. round house in this
city Saturday. The building will be
modern in every particular 1t will
be constructed entirely of cement and
steel. This viii make a much warmer
building than i brick building and
al 20 much easier to keep clean. The
floor will be of concrete and the pits
will be of steel. The house will con
sist of fifteen engine stalls, with one
stall to be used as a boiler room and
one TO be used as a machine shop.
The main line track is to be chang
ed from the passenger depot north.
1t now runs north from the depot a
little ways and then switches over to
the west. This Is to be changed so
that the track will run straight north
from the depot and will not necessi.
tate switching on to another track.
Other changes will be made in the
south yards. The loading platform
of the freight depot will be extended
very nearly to Third avenue. A track
will be built along the east side of
this and extended to take In the Spen-
Ger building. The yards will be d.
vided into the north and south yards.
All trains going south or east will be
made up in the south yards and all
going north will be made up in the
north yards. This will facilitate the
of trains very much.
