 AUSTRIAN COMPLIANCE
A. p. A. Service.

LONDON, Dec. 27.--Continental re- ports state that Germany Is behind the sudden change in the Austrian attitude toward the United States over the Ancona sinking. It is said that the Berlin government has exerted all
 sible pressure to prevent the Aus trians continuing their attitude of de- fiance and Is apparently greatly de- sirous of preserving friendly relations with the United States. Many mes sages are reported to have passed between Berlin and Vienna concerning the affair. At present all accounts agree that Germany will have her way and the American demands will be fully complied with.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-From all ac. counts arriving here Christmas was very quiet on the western front and was marked by an almost complete cessation of military activities. Some firing occurred at few isolated points but the greater part of the day was given over to peace.
 So far as knowua the day was un- marked by incidents such as occurred last year when football WAS played between the lines. This year the troops confined themselves to singing spaces between the trenches. Pre- sumably on account of strict orders.

WORK WELL DONE
Topeka Street Car Conductors Are
Models of Courteous Service.

The conductors of the Topeka Street
Railway company should be commend
ed for their courtesy to the visiting
teachers this week. The conductors
are perhaps asked more questions and
are expected to give out more informa-
ton than any other class of Topeka
people. And the fare collectors are
doing their work with a pleasantness
and an efficiency that is winning over
the school teachers.
Many of the thousands visitors now
in Topeka are not familiar with the
streets or principal attractions of the
capital city. Thousands of them have
been given rooms in the residence dis
trict and they must be directed to
these homes. 1t falls upon the street
railway man to give full directions
to the teachers.
The conductors are valuable aids in
handling the State Teachers associa-
ton convention.

BRADLEY BEATEN AND ROBBED.

John Bradley, a resident of Bakers
vile, reached home at a late hour on
Tuesday evening with a cut on his
head and his clothes badly torn, and
claimed that he had been attacked by
three young men, severely beaten and
robbed of $62. He accused Eugene
Hendrickson and two other boys NAM
ed Price and Golding. The Atlantic
City authorities were notified and De-
tective Freeman was sent over to in
vestigate the matter. He found Brad
ley seemingly in a pretty bad condi-
ton and warrants were issued for
the three men. When they were
brought before him Bradley could not
identify Price and Golding and they
were released, but Hendrickson, who
is only Is years of age, and who bears
a very good reputation, was held, but
released on 1000 bail. When the
case was called before Magistrate
Martz Bradley was emphatic in his
accusation and added that the boy
had suggested to the others that it
would be best to kill the victim so as
to prevent him telling on them.
The father of young Hendrickson
was present and waived a hearin~ and
the case will be tried at Mays Landing
at a later date. Mr.. May. who keeps
a store not far from the Hendrickson
home, made the statement that the
boy was with him at the time the as
sault was said to have occurred. Brad
ley's Identification is not considered
positive.
