MANNER OF u. S. NOTE.
Austrian Government Not Concerned
Over Disavowal. But Wording Of
the Document.

Berlin, (via Amsterdam), Dec. 81.
There will be no quarrel between
Austria Hungary and the United
States if Washington keeps cool.
Count Stephen Tisza. next to En-
peror Franz Josef the strongest man
in the dual monarchy, gave this as
surance in an interview in the Min
istrial Palace at Budapest. The in
terview was obtained in the course Of
a weeks visit to Vienna and Buda-
pest, to ascertain sentiment regarding
the Ancona negotiations.
ITO think of trouble between
Austria Hungary and the United
States-sheer nonsense!" declared
the "Iron Man" of the monarchy, em-
phatically.
Count Tisza has just returned from
conference with the Emperor at
Vienna, regarding the .Ancona note.
"I must confess" he said. reclin-
ing in Il big leather chair, that we
were greatly surprised to get the
American note. 1t is far from our in
tention to get into any quarrel with
America. Perhaps shouldn't say
quarrel, because | Know it would not
be that. but of course matters do not
depend on US entirely.
".There is no reason for any trou-
BILE over the Ancona question. 1t must
be settled satisfactorily, not only
from the standpoint Of the United
States but from our standpoint. And
the only way to reach Il settlement Is
through correspondence which vii!
suggest the means
Further indication that Count Tis-
IA does not contemplate break is
fopnd in his own statement that tho
dual monarchy is now occupied in
naming Il new ambassador to Wash
ington to succeed Ambassador Dumba
Ambassador Pcnfield. also pointed
this out at Vienna, and, furthermore.
said that twice on the day the Aus
trian reply was sent to Washington
the foreign Office asked America t0
use her good office to obtain special
concessions for the monarchy in bel1
ligerent lands.

Surprise for Her, So She Had
Him Hailed Before Police

Philadelphia, Dec 2l-What any
respectable married man would wanji
with a box of woman's dainty silk
underwear, unless as Christmas
present for his wife, was Il questioh
that so agitated Mrs. Mary Bonnert
that, when shei caused her husbandi
Thomas. "a years old. to be arrested
for alleged ill-treatment, she confided
her suspicious to Lieutenant Savage.
of the Sixteenth district. and as the
result Bonner is held in $500 bali

pensoner. who was holding him by
the sleeve. Then fight followed and
it required several policemen to sub

PUTS BANS ON KISSING
Prevalence of Grip Causes Health
Board TO Sound Warming

Philadelphia. Dec. 21-The official
ban has been put upon kissing IN
Camden. 1t comes from the Board of
Health and is due to an epidemic OF
grip that has assailed the city, Pny-.
sicians report hundreds of cases OF,
the disease and the health officers
say it has appeared in worse form
than at any period since the wlde7
spread epidemic in the winter OF 1890
when about nine-tenths of the popu-
lation of every city in the country
were laid low.
Don't even kiss your wife" is the
suggestion of the physicians attach
ed to the Health Board: Put tine
duty, or pleasure, off for time till
the epidemic has passed. Let the
sweethearts wait; they can stand IT,
See that little children and aged per-
sons are not kissed Kissing spreads
the germs of the disease and the cpl

sicians recall that in the previous
sweep of the malady many of its
victims fell>prey to pneumonia and

Mr.. AND MRS. WILSON.
President and Bride Motor TO Watm
Springs.

Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 21.-Presi,
dent Wilson and the new First Lady
of the Land, are being guarded here
among the peaceful mountair peop!s
of Virginia with as; many Frecau'
tons as they would be if in New
York. Seven Secret Service men are
members Of The encourage.
Every train that arrives is closely
inspected, and information is sought
concerning all persons whose identity
is at all shrouded. 1t is not believed
the President himself is aware of the
extraordinary steps which have been
taken to secure his safety and peace
Of mind while on the honeymoon.
The unusual arrangements are
probably due to the same caution
which prompted the bridal couple to
change their plans at the last NOM
ent before leaving Washington and
board the tra:r in Alexandria in
stead of going to the Washington
Terminal, whatever the reasons were.
The President and Mrs. Wilson left
the seclusion of their rooms yester-
day afternoon long enough to take
an automobile ride to Warm Springs
and then across the mountain to
Healin. Springs. They were absent
a little more than t%D hours. 1t was
the first time they had left the hotel
since arriving here carly yesterday
morning.
Mrs. Wilson was i,eavily wrapped
in fnrs and wore =. nall turban hat.
Eler face was radiant :f:th smiles and
frequently along the route as the
White House limousine and its oc-
cupants were recognized she joined
the President in acknowledging the
respectful greetings CT the country
folks.

President and told him that if he and
his bride would pose for five minutes
they would pack their machines and
shake the dust of Hot Springs from
their feet, never to return. After
writing the request they grew skcp-
tical of it's success and spent the. af-
ternoon around the log fires Of the
lobby, endeavoring to find courage,
for some other plan of attack. :,

H|Az|NC EVIDENCE
IS CONFLICTING
V. M. I. Students Positive
Sweet Met No Injury
at Their Hands
WITNESSES TESTIFY
Physicians Allege They Found No
Evidence of Violence on the Bouy
of the Youth.

Lexington, Va, Dec. 21.-Confilct-
ing testimony as to the alleged haz-
ing of Cadet Thurber Sweet, of Chi
cago, Ill.,, who died here ten days ago,
was given at the investigation OF
the cadets death by the board Of
visitors of the Virginia Military In
stitute. The INJURY was adjourned
until today, when DR.. j. NJ. Scott, il,
who examined Sweet on the day the
cadet ran away from the institute,
and who is said to have stated that
he found wounds on Sweets back,
will testify.
Four students of Washington and
Lee University, who said they saw
Sweet the day he quit V. NJ. l., tes-
titled that Sweet showed them wounds
on his back and legs, and told them
that they were caused by blows from
broomsticks and bayonets welded
by upper classmen. Institute officials
and cadets assert that Sweet was not
hazed. That he was a failure as
student. and that he made several
attempts to leave the institute
and return home.
Surgeon o. H. McClung, Of V. M.
l., testified that Sweet had told him
that he had been beaten. A cadet
said, Sweet had complained to him
that at was rough" at V. NJ. l., and
that wound in his back was caused
by bayonet. Other witnesses testi-
fed that Sweet had attributed this
wound to Il bayonct, rusty nail and
Il knife.
Several physicians who treated
Sweet during the several weeks that
he was in the institute hospital, gave
it as their opinion that the cadet died
from inflammation of the spinal cord,
and that he had received no injury
that could have caused such intiam-
nation. They all asserted they found
no marks of violence on the boys
body.
When the board convened yesterE
day morning, Gen. Nichols, superln;I:
tendent of the academy, made "a
statement, reviewing the case. He,
deplored the sensational. notoriety,ii I
given the matter, and urged that the
inquiry be thorough.
Gen. Nichols presented his report
of the case in printed form, cover
ing various testimony, together with.

go, father of the young man, from
his mother and grandmother. MY

House, after deserting the Virginia
Military Institute, showed them his
back, on which were stripes and welts
caused, he said, by hazing at the
Virginia Military Institute. He told
them that he did not intend to return.

London. Dec. 2l-The announce
,neot of the British withdrawal iron
Gallinoli overshadowed all other wan
news last night. For the British pub
lie the abrupt War Office statement
marks the end of one OF the grea'
cbantcrs of the wars history. Inc
laconic statement was as follows
"All the troops at Suvla and An.
zac. together with their guns anc
stores, have been successfully trans
rcrred, with insignificant casualties.
to another sphere of operations.
The shock of the news was hardly
broken by the fact that rumors hao
been current in the street for some
davs. and the withdrawal OF the Tor
ccs had been matter of widespread
pro and con discussion ever since
Lord Ribblesdale's famous speech in
Parliament, in which he declared that
withdrawal had been recommended
by a high military authority. The feel
inr Of the man in the street was gene
rallv one of relief mixed with regret.
a popular halfpenny paper sums up
the British public's attitude as fol-
lows:
.Thus ends the enterprise on which
the Highest hopes were built and
which, if it had succeeded would prop:
ably have turned the tide Of the war.
Our troops from the first to last were
within a few miles Of victory"
The policy underlying the Darda,
nclles expedition may yet be carried
to q successful issue in some other
quarter of the Near East, but the pro-
spect Of forcing way to CONSTANT
tinople through the famous Straits
is apparently relinquished.
British troops continue to occupy
the tip of the peninsula at Seddul
Bahr, commanding the entrance 20
the Straits where many British have
declared a new Gibraltar will one day
arise. The position here. is protected
by a double line of ships and it is ap-
parent by later statement that tins
will be held
"Thank God, they are safely out OF
lherc without serious loss" is an en-
preston frequently heard in connec-
tion with the transfer of the troops
from the Suvla and AnZac zones to
another sphere of operation, although
this is; invariably coupled. with regret
that it should have been regarded
as necessary: to evacuate the hard
won footholds on the peninsular OBJ
tanned at such heavy cost in casual
ties. :

front 'on.the Gallipoli peninsula than
those from which troops were an,
nounced to have been withdrawn, ART
to be continued, it is intimated in q
later official statement The withdraw
al was effected without knowledge OF
the movement on the part of the
Turks, it is declared.

public to draw its own conclusions a:

The feeds and method of feeding

We have found that very few feeds

about half Of the ration then some

But this proposition should not De

diligent work is all that a hen needs

they cannot lay so many eggs
The green feeds and meat snOulu

Sprouted oats are better, and cabbage
is also very good "A patch Of rye
