Austria has demanded OF Seryia
that the pan-Slayic movement in
Bosnia be suppressed at once and
that immediate punishment be met
ed out to those involved in the Bel
grade plot against Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, recently assassinated at
Sara jevO.
Servia was slow to act and Aus
tria delivered an ultimatum, giving
the Servian Government until g
O'Clock Saturday evening, July %,
in which to reply and accept the
terms laid down by Emperor Franz
Joseph's Government
The gist of the ultimatum was
that Servia should disclaim all re-
sponsibility for the plot: that Ser
via should promise to do her best to
capture and punish the conspirators
and suppress the pan-Slavic activi-
ties of her subjects in Austria.
Seryia's reply was unsatisfactory,
the Austrian Foreign Office announc-
ing that Servia so hedged its accept
ance Of the terms as to nullify the
effect OF the demand
Following was the answer by Ser
via, 10 which the dual monarchy
took exceptions and began prepara-
tions for war:
"Servia desires sincere and cor
rect neighborly relations with the
dua' monarchy.
Convinced of the necessity OF
maintaining such relations. the Ser
yianGovernment will readily comply

Hungary which will serve to sup

lions and disorders in neighboring
countries.
Because the Seryian Government
considers II is thereby fulfilling the
obvious duty OF civilized State,
the Government will in all sincerity
do everything possible to prove ,ts
'ntoasc degIIe for friendl. relations
with the oual monarchy.

he was seeking TO end an era of
suspicion and recrimination by put

them that the Government was not

The wholesalers laid before the
President prepared argument
against several features of the Clay
ton Antitrust Bill and the Trade
Commission Bill. but said they ap-
proved of the general purposes OF
the proposed legislation. Mr.. Will
son entered into detailed discus
sion of the bills. and promised to
lay his callers suggestions before
the proper committees of the SEN
ate.
The President also talked Of bus
mess conditions and the antitrust
bills with Hugh Chalmers. a Detroit
manufacturer. who agreed with the
views. and said that
prosperity would come as soon as
the present uncertainty was reliev-
ed.
In speaking to the wholesalers.
the President said:
We have had ten or fifteen years
Of ceaseless agitation about bust
ness. During thatilength OF time We
have read stories in the newspapers
and in the magazines of the extrav-
agantly wrong things that We're go

universal suspicion has been Great

II is asserted upon authority OF
facts to back the contention, that
the Republican party in Congress
has reached the point where it has
almost ceased TO be a party of OPP
position. Its struggling vote shows
this. Some of its members voted
for the Democratic Tariff Bill; many
more voted for the Democratic Cur
rency Bill; there were only a few
scattering votes against two of the
Democratic trust measures. and
upon the third trust bill, the Repub-
licans could not muster enough
strength TO demand a rOll-call in the
House The most of this record,
however is more to its credit, than
otherwise.

volume of business was, If anything,
a trifle smaller, but there was a
good undertone with fair buying Of

largely to the short term issues, or
bonds having only few years to run.
In the latter trading there was excel

the high grade issues showed good
gains for the day. This advance was
the feature Of the afternoon trading.
So far as the foreign liquidation
was concerned, there was nothing to
suggest it except for the continued
demand for German exchange. This
carried the price up 92A which was
the highest level touched for large
transactions. There was general buy
ing of exchange of Berlin and some
large operations reported under ne
gotiation. There was a further rise
in the price of New York City three

The Red Book Maaazine.

Rupert Hughes, who is being hailed
as the foremost novelist In America,
tells the story of the girl who sells
herself for fine clothes. in the INSTALL
me1t of HIS new novel of New York,
Empty Pocicts,' which appears in
the December issue of the Red Book
Magazine. The story is almost photo
graphic in its accuracy: the girl who
becomes mannikin in the establish
ment Of man dressmaker on Fifth
avenue. and falls so much in love with
the fine fabrt,s she handles that she
cannot bear to return to her own
eliearer garments. Is described with
such reality that one suffers with her.
Mr.. Hughes is accomplishing in this
novel the feat which students have
said could never h, done: he is using
the Dickens method for telling pure
ly American story. Each phase OF
New York is being presented through
characters who become vivid parts in
the story OF the events which led to
the finding of the body of Merry
Perry Mer:thew. profligate million
aire, on the roof of an east side tene-
ment in August. 1913. Instead of
proving difficult style Of story to
read, Empty Pockets" is fascinating.

tains installments of that novel of a
