Markets are not created, won and

lumbia Fruit and Farm. There is al
together too much stress laid on do
ing things In day. In a new coun-
try there is a good deal OF excuse for
trying to do things In a day which
require several days and In fact sew
eral years for their development. In
farming there are lands which VIII
produce certain crops better than
other crops. There are even men who
can produce certain crops better than
other crops. There are also markets
which will take certain crops better
than other crops. Here are three I'M

from authoritative sources.
Austria's reply to the second An

that it is satisfactory and final"
There is a strong party in tn. dual
monarchy that has insisted that
friendly relations with America be
maintained. This party apparently
has the upper hand.
Government officials profess to
have little or no knowledge of the
probable contents of the Austrian
reply and it is declared that Austria
acted entirely independently without
seeking Germany's advice, in framing
the reply.
London, Dec. 2S.-Austria intends
to suggest the appointment of an in
ternational commission to settle the
points in dispute regardig the An
coma, according to advices from Swiss
sources today.
Washington, Dec. 2S-That the
Austrian government, by halfway con-
cessions, will seek to prevent seve-
renee of diplomatic relations between
Vienna and Washington was a fore
cast put forth last night in Austro-
German diplomatic quarters.
That hope for an amicable settle
ment of the controversy has not been
abandoned, at least by Germany. is
indicated from the fact. learned last
night, that Count Won Bernstorff, the
German Ambassador, who returned to
Washington yesterday from the Adj
rondacks, where he spent Christmas,
is prepared to resume negotiations
with Secretary Lansing for final dis
position of the Lusitania controversy.
In German Embassy circles there
is every confidence that in spite OF
Germany's unwillingness to go the
whole length demanded by the United
States in this dispute, the matter
would be adjusted within very short
time to the satisfaction of both coun-
tries.

SUNK WITHOUT WARNING.
Submarine That Torpedoed Yasaka
Maru Kept Submerged.

Toxic, Japan. Dec. 28.-Detailed
advices received here from Port Said
concerning the sinking Of the Yasaka
Maru corroborate previous state
ments that the steamship was tor
pedoed without warning. 1t is said
she was attacked at 2:35 p. m. by a
submarine whose presence had not
been observed. No flag was visible.
Shortly after the eorpedo was dis
charged two periscopes, one long and
one short, appeared above the water
within 400 feet of the steamship.
They moved to position off the
stern of the starboard side, the Port
Said advices relate, as though ready
to discharge a second torpedo if nec-
essary.
After the Yasaka Maru sank a
coming tower was visible for brief
time at point about mile away.
The report describes the manner
in which all on board the steamship
entered the boats safely, this having
been accomplished within 10 min
utes OF the time the torpedo was dis
charged. The captain caused the
boats to be tied together. Sails were
hoisted and, in accordance with a
plan arranged previously by wireless,
southeasterly course was taken
This was held until midnight when
the French gunboat, which rescued
the passengers and crew, was met.
During the evening the periscope
Of the submarine reappeared, only
few yards from the boats, but the
submarine itself was not visible. The
passengers praised the captain and
crew for their, coolnessl and discip-
line. There was no sign of panic
throughout the e,long ordeal. i
