AUSTRIANS ARE CONFIDENT
Place Blame for European Conflict on
Russia.

Vienna, April 14.-Contidence re-
garding the outcome of the war is
the watchword everywhere expressed
in competent Austro-Hungarian quar-
ters, despite the enormous sacrifices
entailed.
A correspondent, during a months
stay in the dual monarchy, had an op-
portunity to meet and talk with vir-
tually all the leading statesmen, in
Guiding Count Won Berchtold, former
foreign minister, and Count Apponyi,
the opposition leader, and found none
who indicated or intimated the slight
est doubt regarding eventual success
in the struggle.
Responsibility for the war was put
squarely on Russia, which for years,
according to the views expressed, has
been steadily working toward the de-
struction of the dual monarchy, using
and encouraging Serbia as stalking
horse for this purpose.

Memorandum.
Washington, April 14.-State de-.

the recent memorandum of the Ger.
man ambassador, Count Won Bern
storff, on the question Of the shipment
of foodstuffs and the expectation of
arms.
There was disposition in official
quarters to look upon the memoran-
dunn as statement of the personal
views of the ambassador But Count
Won Bernstorf has stated publicly
that he acted on instructions from his
government in framing the memoran-
dunn.
The proposal to forbid the exporta-
ton of arms is viewed by the Wash
ington government as likely to en-
barrass the United States in the fu-
ture.
Officials said no action would be
taken for several days. .

Need Not Stop Two Trains Each Way
Each Day as Demand Of Villagers.


La Crosse, Wis, April 14.-More
than 400 villages in Wisconsin will be
deprived of the privilege of demand
ing that two passenger trains each
way stop every day at their stations
under a decision of the United States
supreme court. kilograms received
by attorneys of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railway company at
La Crosse announce that the federal
court has reversed the decision of the
Wisconsin supreme court and held as
unconstitutional chapter 4S3 of the
laws of 1911. This law provided that
any village with over 200 inhabitants
might, on the application of one citi-
zen to the railroad commission, re-
quire two passenger trains each way
to stop every day. The appeal was
taken in the case of the village of
Cochrane. The decision saves $780,
