CRUISER Is DIsMANTLED.
Countermanding Orders for Austrian
Ship Received Too Late.

Official advices established the fact
that the Austrian cruiser kaiserin
Elizabeth had been dismantled last
Monday in accordance with an agree
ment reached between Austria and
Japan.
Orders countermanding orders from
the Emperor of Austria reached the
officers of the ship too late.
The presence of the cruiser in far
eastern waters was regarded as the
only possible cause of friction between
Japan and Austria. The latter. how
ever. decided later to sever diplomatic
relations. Austrias position. it is I'M
derstood. was taken merely in SYM
pathy with her ally. Germany, against
whom Japan has declared war.

Cites Attack on Nuremberg.


1T is absolutely unjustifiable to sup
pose that Zeppelin bombs were thrown
against anything else but fortifica-
tions. Women and children should not
remain in besieged fortresses. Not
the slightest harm was done to any
body in the open city of Brussels, while
on the first day Of the war French
aeroplanes bombarded the open city of
Nuremberg.
1T is inconceivable that any of the
powers who have Joined the coalition
formed solely for the purpose of at
lacking us should desire to give us les
sons on methods of European warfare
after having called oriental races into
the struggle and after having sent
colored African and Indian troops to
France to fight their battles for them. :
Count Won Bernstorff said he had
received no confirmatio from his gov
eminent of the destruction of German
cruisers in the North sea by the Brit
ish fleet, but assumed the newspaper
accounts were true.

.FROWN ON SUGGESTION
Of MORATORIUM IN j. S.
House Leaders Ridicule Statement
That Conditions Call for
Such Relief.

All the congressional talk on the sub
ject OF a moratorium being created in the
United States is declared foolish by
leaders of the House and members of
the banking and currency committee. No
important bill or resolution of any sort
has been introduced for the creation of
any situation wherein business men will
not have to pay their debts, and the pre-
diction was made today by a legal au-
thority of the House that no situation
could be imagined. short of war and dis
aster. which would justify the thought of
a moratorium.
Mr.. Cantor Explains.
Representative Cantor of New York,
whose name was mentioned in a news
dispatch to a New York paper as having
presented a memorial OF New York bust
ness men who were praying for mora
torium, said last night:
Nothing Is further from my mind than
the thought of working for legislation for
the creation of moratorium. 1 present

Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 10.-Attention has
already been called to the fact thai
Paris was never so well nor so cheaply
fed as since the war began. This situa-
country. excepting the unfortunate re-
gions that have been ravaged by the
occupation of the hostile troops.
Paris suffers in this respect from only
one thing-its delicate taste is rebel
lious to the coarser quality of bread to
which bakers were confined by govern
ment order. and it is praying that the
bakers be permitted to furnish the
pain de fantasie." as they call the finer
qualities of French bread.
The limitation of baking to this one
coarSer quality was intended to SO SIM
plify the work of the bakers as to rem
edy the difficulty caused by the exodus
of SO many of their employees to the
front Some of the higher classes of
bakers, which in Paris come under the
category of pastry cooks continue to
make the "croissant. which constitutes
the principal part Of the Parisian's
breakfast: but for the population in
general there are no "croissants." no
cakes or cookies of any sort. and they
are obliged to take common bread with
their coffee in the morning.
Formerly considerable quantities of
Viennese bread. called pain Vennois, -
we're consumed in Paris, though in
most cases it was not made in Wen
na." 1t has been proposed to change
the name of thls bread to pain Lie
seois, at the same time honoring the
heroic Belgian town and getting rid of
a name that is no longer popular in
Paris
