statement made by the inventor last

the belligerent nations now are me-

The United States government is at
present conducting experiments with
the new projectile at Sandy Hook, he
added. The missile is designed for
use in siege guns as an aid in destroy

When the !projectile hits the target,
the inventor said, it explodes, its white
hot contents setting fire to whatever
infiammable material it strikes. To
avoid the possibility of any one in the

URGING AUSTRIA
TO Make PEACE
Prominent Financial Men of
Vienna Seeking to End
the War.

Washington. Dec. ga dispatch,
from a prominent neutral diplomat in
Vienna to his government, Of which
officials here learned, states that lead.
ing financial and commercialW men in
Austria are urging the making of
peace.
The diplomat in cipher telegram
confirms recent press reports from
Rome Of the dissatisfaction which the
Austrian populace feels at the lack of
success Of Its army, and states more-
over, that Indignation has been stirred
up among all classes because of the
recent reverses suffered at the hands
Of Servia. The Austrian government,
he adds, through a strict censorship
of the press, has withheld details OF
these defeats from an anxious public.
Another phase Of the situation said
to be disquieting to the Austrian gov
ernment is the reports from the Czech
part Of Bohemia and Hungary to the
effect sympathy with the war is rap
idly diminishing there.
The same diplomats telegram states
reports are persistent in well in
formed circles in Vienna that Italy
will declare war against Austria about
New Years day. These reports eman-
ate, the dispatch says. from promin-
ent Italians, but Austrian officials are
confident Italy will remain neutral.

1t is extraordinary how ingenius the

Washington, Dec. ga note Of
inquiry has been delivered to the state
department by the British govern
ment in regard to the charges against
the conduct of certain British colliers.
in the waters Of the Panama canal
zone. The communication implied that
the British ship captains were harsh
ly treated. 1t was said that Colonel
Goethals admitted the charges proved
baseless.
So far Secretary Daniels has been
unable to learn just what led to the
recent dismantlement Of the radio
apparatus. Of British collier at Pan
anna, even the name Of the ship be-
ing unknown. He has ordered full
report, which will be laid before the
state department as a basis for its
answer to the British note.
1t was suggested by some naval ex-
ports that radio messages sent by
British warships in the Caribbean
directly across the isthmus to other
British naval vessals in the Pacific,
might have been attributed by the
operators in the naval wireless tower
on the isthmus to British colliers lying
in canal waters.
