CLOSER ECONOMIC,

garded as an absolute necessity, and
VIII doubtless continue to be so long
after the war is ended. But the prob
lem as TO how this Is 10 be brought
about is exceedingly complex.
By high protective duties Austria
has long maintained an economic
existence, independent OF Germany.
and indeed even opposed to German
interests. In Austria everything is
much dearer than in Germany, from
twenty to even fifty per cent The
difference in prices is especially great
in heavy wares, such as coal, iron.
steel and machinery. II is only through
these protective duties that Austria
has managed TO develop growing IN
dustry, and prevent the country from
being flooded with cheap German prod
ucts.
For some years Austria has almost
monopolized the trade in the balkans
and the Leyant, but latterly German
merchants have been creeping in
thehre and capturing customers. This
has been the case more than ever
sonce the annexation of Austrla-Hun-
gary and Bosnia and Herzegovina in
1903, when both Turkey and Serbia
boycotted Austrian goods. The rapid
lily with which Germany seized the OPP
portunity to enter these markets
caused intense irritation in Vienna and
Budapest at the time. Nor has this
feeling diminished since German trade
has steadily grown in southeastern
Europe while Austrias has as stead
lily decreased.
Heavy Obligations.
How all these matters will develop
after the war nobody can foresee. I'm
doubtedly Austria-Hungary is placed
under heavy obligations to Germany
for Its military aid In the war How
and in what form will Germany re-
nutre payment for such service? Prob
ably through preferential customs tar
ms, or perhaps by customs union.
In either case It is declared Germany
stands TO gain all the profit and Aus
tria to suffer all the injury. For then
German wares would swamp Austrian
competition for the trade In the Bal
kans and Levant would be hopeless.
Hence 1t is easy to understand the
covert opposition, in nearly all parts
of Austria, to Germany's efforts to
bring it's ally in closer commercial re-
lationship. 1t is feared that economic
dependence will surely follow. mill
tary. For since the war begun many
things have occurred which indicate
Hungary under its commercial sub
lection. Only short time ago the
big banks in Berlin sent circulars
to the principal Austrian investors
In the first and second Austrian war
loans, offering to advance them ninety
per cent OF the face value of their
holdings provided they would use the
money for investment In the third
loan. The Austrian banks were only
advancing seventy-five per cent of the
former loans. Such incidents have
created much distrust In the Austrian
capital, and shown the necessity for
exercising the utmost caution before
entering into any new kind OF econ
oimc arrangements with Germany
which may be fraught with the most
serious consequence for tho future OF
the dual monarchy.
Shoes have doubled in price in
Vienna in the last few months, and

Between Germany and Austro-
Hungary and Conferences
Are Being Held.

tcosrospontience OF the Associated Press.)
ZURICH, Switzerland. Dec. b.
Important conferences between Ger
man and Austro-Hungarian politicians
and leading representatives OF finance
and commerce, are now going on in
Vienna and Berlin, for the purpose
of finding a basis for establishing
closer economic relations between the
allied empires. Although several
meetings have already taken place no
definite results have yet been obtained.
The industrial and commercial inter
Gets of the two countries are SO diver
gent that It is difficult to see how an
understanding can be reached, which
will prove satisfactory to both sides.
And SO far every conference seems only
TO have discovered new troubles In
the way of reaching an agreement.
-Hungarians fear, Just as
ut present they are under the domina-
ton OF Germany in military affairs,
80 later their financial and economic
Independence will also be lost before
the persistent and powerful monarch
OF Germany. The whole question is
one OF the most vital Importance for
tho future welfare of the dual mon
sarchy, and excitcs far more interest
in the business community than the

the other provinces of Austria are
purely agricultural, and Hungary Is

agrarians always possess large ma

ed as to the manner in which the expert
surgeons locate bullets that have struck
these poor fellows. Ingenious ways OF
finding bullets and pieces OF shrapnel
are resorted to by French surgeons with
the aid Of powerful, electromagnetic, but
the Sutton method, of American origin.
Is becoming universally used.
Another American whose name will
be writ large in the medical history of
the war is DR.. Kenneth Taylor, who
discovered the antidote for gas gam
green. When it was not yet known
whether his experiments were successful
or not, an unknown American girl-a
nurse at the front-inoculated herself
with the deadly poison, though no one
knew of her heroic deed till later. The
antidote worked and she was saved, but
her act deserves mention as one of the
bravest of all time.
TN removing bullets by the Sutton
method, the, wounded man is
placed on table. beneath which
IS an X-ray machine, and over
is placed the tube of light used
in the photographing process. The
bullet then is shown on the plate,
which is placed beneath the pa
tient. The X-ray has demonstrated that,
like nearly everything else in France, It
is Somewhere near a certain locality"
But how deep. The tube then is placed
at another angle. The shadows are
made to cross and the bullet is again
detected. To find how far TO probe
the surgeon resorts to mathematics and
works out his calculations by the simple
principles of triangulation.
The surgeon thrusts hollow, needle
like device into the body, finds the bull
let, and puts piece OF slightly barbed
around the bullet. Then the patient is
wheeled to the operating room, where
the work of removing the bullet is
quickly accomplished. ! have known OF
cases where triangulation has been done
within five minutes.
It is the bravery of these poor men,
however, that wrings anguish from the
heart. No complaints, no bitter words
against their cause which led them 10
sacrifice. Shattered limbs, serious flesh
wounds, blindness, deafness from the
great drtonations-brt no word of com-
plant. IS
Man is a queer creature who quickls
adapts himself to conditions. The quick
ness with which war was grasped meant
also that human understood as quickly
wars by-products, and pain and death
and suffering and poverty are some OF
them. And that IS why il is so difficult
for one who has been in the midst to
obtain perspective. The most horrible
things become commonplace. always so
10 remain.
