girl had lunch together, usually after

come to mean a good deal to them.

she had that simplicity and charm
that are the fruits of a sweet and hap

They loved with all the frankness

She refused. And when they had
talked things over John saw it in the
same light.
Your mother talks about you all
the time" said the girl. "She couldn't
support herself on that little income.
1t makes it impossible for the present,

Molly shook her head. She was,
wise enough to know the impractical

In a few years shall be getting $685."

And then Molly expounded the sit

were discussing an abstract PROPOSE

on that night when she had decided
that she must give up John forever.
And it was that uncanny GOODNESS
that engraved the truth on Johns
heart.
If he married her he must give up
forever his hopes of becoming a doc

John got cold comfort from his
lawyer. Come back in six months"
was all he would say. ''Tu see what
can do then"
And for six dreary months John
waited. He saw Molly each day, but
she passed him now with only cold
little bow. There was worse to come.
One day, at the end of the six months,
the president called John into his Of

said. 81 am sorry, but we are laying

John understood. He conjured up
his last smile and left the Office.
Molly had promised to meet him
the following Sunday to say gOOd-by.

went to his lawyer, flaming with in

Statement by Taft
as to Shipment Of
Serum to Austria

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov %.-Wn-
liam II. Taft. chairman OF the central
committee OF the American red Cross,
makes public statement in connection
with recently published reports concerning
the shipment OF anti-tetanus serum to-
Austria. Mr.. Taft points out that the
reports have intimated that the Austrian
consulate In New York plotted TO obtain
possession OF the cases OF serum. which
had been prepared by the New York City
board of health. In Justice to the Aus
TRAN consul general Mr.. Taft, on behalf
OF the Red Cross. denied the intimation
OF the published reports and makes known
the facts In detail as follows:
The American Red Cross had n con-
alignment of eleven boxes OF 6nti-tetanus
serum. prepared by the New York City
board OF health. for the Austrian Red
Cross. Eight boxes only were received in
time for shipment. the remaining three
boxes arriving a day or two late. AS
there would not be another Austrian
shipment for some time. and there were
no facilities at the warehouse for keep
ing this serum cold in warm weather to
preserve Its efficiency. the Red Cross
agent telephoned 10 the Austrian con-
sulate, asking II Il could find some meant
OF sending over these additional three
boxes. The consulate. through the
courtesy OF Mrs. Hurd and Mr.. Wedl.
were able to make arrangements for this
shipment. The steamer was 10 sail m
the lst OF June early in the morning.
May 81 was a holiday and our agent re-
quested that these boxes be taken by the
consulate on Saturday as the warehouse
would not be open on Sunday and Mon
day and there would not be time Tuesday
morning. June l. to get the boxes from
Brooklyn to Hoboken. 1t was, therefore,
IN compliance with the request Of the
agent OF the Red Cross that the consul
late sent for the boxes on Saturday
holding them until early Tuesday. wheI
they were sent to the steamer"

Battle Waged in

Austro-Germans and Italians are fight
Ing for supremacy. military operations
will be seriously affected by snow
Neither side dares TO advance large guns
which may be lost in a night owing to a
heavy snowfall
On the stro-Italian frontier where
fighting Is taking place at 10000 feet
above sea level over miles OF mountains
where every little pass means a small
battle, weather conditions and snow are
important factors. On these mountains
ordinary regiments. however brave, are
practically useless as they cannot stand
the climate and only Alpine troops on
both sides are being utilized.
Since the beginning Of october several
feet OF snow has fallen in the Swiss
ryrolese and Italian Alps above 5000 feet
and there Is besides always the danger
OF an avalanche. Under these conditions
Alpine warfare will be impossible even
for strong force. The men and mountain
artillery sre practically buried in deep
snow I'm the higher Alps and the attack
must be postponed until spring. Thus
Italy feels secure from an invasion OF
Lombardy and venetis during the winter
and can employ her reserve forces for
other spheres.

PRODUCTION TO the book, and extracts
from the opinion Of DR.. Karl strupp OF
Frankfort-on-the-M Main.
Quotes Old Naval orders.
DR.. Strupp begins by quotations from
naval orders i'm the war of 1872, issued
respectively to Lieutenant Allan Of the
American ship Argus and 20 Captain
Stewart, the first advising of the ad-
vanta geousness OF attacking the enemy's
commerce. and the second directing the
sinking of English vessels when there is
| any risk Of their being rescued while en-
/ route to a port as prizes.

says DR.. Strupp, that the North Amer
lean government orders the destruction
of enemy ships when they cannot be
safely brought to friendly port"
! lie then asks the question whether It
! is the duty of a war vessel to save the
passengers and crew of an enemy ship,
admitting in doing so that existing rules
OF international law apply TO submarines.
He declares they are to be regarded as
suspended when military necessity. or
even when serious need, arises.
The commander OF a vessel must weigh
the circumstances, and did in the case
Of the Lusitania case, and decided rightly
that such need did exist for his little
ship before the giant vessel OF 1000,

and which probably had concealed can
