Charge d'Affaires Calls Upon
Lansing and Requests Anoth-
er Chance For Satisfaction
Over First Ancoha Demands
AMERICAN REPLY
REPEATS ALL CHARGES
Tone Makes 1t Practically An
UItimatum and Austria Is
Informed What Refusal To
Agree With Demand Will Imply

"ASIlINGTON, December
w 19-What barely escapes
being an ultimatum in its lam
guage, and which is practically
an ultimatum in its tone, is said
to be the American reply to the
Austrian note asking for further
legal rules to back up the Amer
lean contention that the sinking
of the Italian liner Ancona was
AN illegal and indefensible act"
for which the captain guilty of
the deed must be punished and
which Austria must disavow and
agree to meet the American
claims for indemnity.
SO extreme is the note that the
press announcements concerning
it have apparently alarmed the
Austrian embassy and the Aus
trian>charge d'affaires, NJ. Zweid-
insk, is said to have conferred
with Secretary of State Lansing,
asking him to make the Amer
lean answer less vigorous in or
der to leave the way open for
Austria to make reply that will
be satisfactory to the United
States.
Demands Are Repeated
The note, which Secretary
lansing has read to the Austrian
charge, repeats each Of the Amer
lean demands made in Tie first
note and states clearly the alter
native result that will follow a
failure of the Austrian govern
ment to meet these demands
promptly and without equivoca-
ton. .,...
1t was authoritatively stated
yesterday that the two nations
concerned in the sinking of the
Anc0na, Austria and America, are
very close to the breaking point.
Doubts American Authority
The Austrian reply to the ORR
ginal American demands, ex-
presses doubt as to the authority
Of the United States to make any
demands over the sinking of an
Italian liner, the property Of sub
icCts OF a power with which Aus
tria is at war. The attitude of
the American government in the
affair is challenged.
This much has been learned,
since the formal cabled reply has
been decided and put into the
hands of the state department
officials.
Austria challenges America S
authority for the statements and
furthermore denies responsibility
even if the statement should be
proved true. Even if the state
ments are correct, Austria con-
tends, there is no warrant for
placing the blame on the COM
mander of the Austrian sub
marine
Austria likewise denies that
the United States can place the
blame on the Acknowledgements
government even if "the most
rigorous legal construction were
applied to the judgement of the
, case"
In the reply the foreign office
at Vienna also demands a state
ment from Washington on the
, particular point of law whereas

1 government is alleged tc have 81

ger, writer, art cOnnoisseur, famous
storyteller and bon vivant. He had
made many visits to Hawaii, coming
first in the days of the monarchy an !
at various later times, his most recent
trip being last summer, when he resided
at Waikiki beach and sought in the
soft air and invigorating water to
check the ravages of encrOaching age.
He was boon companion in early days

Prince David, Colonel Samuel Parke err,
the late W. II. Cornwall, the SpreCk els

He was just as close companion TO
the wealthy men of the Bohemian Club

no uncommon thing to learn of Frank
Unger as one of private yachting
party sailing from New York for a
pleasure trip to the West Indies or to
Europe and the Mediterranean. He in
variably took an active part in the high
jinks held annually by the bohemian
Club. As art critic his knowledge was
highly esteemed and his estimate much
sought after. He is said to have been
a prince Of story tellers and a fairly
good thespian.
For many years the Bohemian Club
was his home, where he always was a
conspicuous and prominent figure. His
age, to his friends was a mystery. The
despatch does not disclose it, but it is
thought he must have been close 10
seventy. He always dressed and acted
the part of a man of forty five, and
they say he always looked.

SLEEP IN QUILTS ON FLOOR
Japanese Have No Idea Of the Modern
Bedstead-Open Window at Night
Not Thought Of.

A Japanese house hasn't single
window. And it's only the most sty.
lish of them that have pane of glass.
A person who has a pane of glass
somewhere in the house sets the social
pace in that neighborhood Instead
Of glass they have paper pasted on
sliding frames, and through the paper
the light filters. Naturally one won.
ders how they keep the rain out; this
is little trouble, for outside the paper
walls are series of wooden doors
which also slide back and forth
When the time comes to retire, you
look around for the bed, but there
isn't one in sight. 1t is rolled up in
a drawer, and the Japanese wouldn't
know a bedstead from a quilting
frame. Millions of people in Japan
have grown to manhood, voted, paid
taxes and gone to their reward with
out ever having clapped eyes on an
American bedstead. To make the bed
ready the servant opens the drawer
and unrolls the quilts on the floor,
putting a tomato-can-looking thing I'M
der one end for a pillow. Then she
shuts all the paper windows and pulls
to all the wooden slides so that not
breath Of air can get in and the bed
is ready. Money in the palm wouldn't
persuade a Japanese to sleep with
the window open.-Leslie's Weekly.

Startling Becoming a Pest.

The English starting, introduced in
to this country some time ago, is in
creasing in numbers in a manner
which puts the far-famed sparrow to
the rear in the race, and it is claimed
by some that the startling will soon be
greater pest than the sparrow. When
the starting first came to us as a
stranger he seemed to have some SEM
blance of song or melodious whis-
tie, but around the cities where he
preferably makes his habitation this
whistle is rarely heard, the ordinary
note or conversation of the bird
among his fellows being sharp rasp-
ing sound, like the click of fishing
reel. In order to determine the status
of the startling the government is con-
Quoting a number of experiments and
examinations of the contents of the
birds stomachs to determine whether
the bird is truly insectivorous or sim
ply scavenger of the English spar
row type. One thing contended for by
some persons on behalf of the Startling
is that where he appears the sparrow
Is becoming tree bird.
