To permit the bank to apply the sew

derived from the sales of securities t.
debts other than those for which they

The trustees add that the assets which
have come into their possession arc
insufficiebt to pay the provable claims
of creditors.
The court is asked to set aside as void

Bank to deliver to the trustees all Sc

be decidedly more in favor of speedy
action and Of the giving cf liberal al

otherwise.
Just as when the Lusitania trouble
was at its height. there was great
deal said to the effect that diplomatic
relations with Berlin might be broken.
and nothing more came Of 1t. So. too,
now. II Ia said, diplomatic relations with
Austria might be broken and the mat

But. on the other hand, there are
many shrewd observers who are not so
sure about serevance of diplomatic
relations with Austria ending in like
action. To sever relations with Austria
will mean more irritation at Berlin.
This may lead to more subma rine out
