Situation Is Clearing.

Washington, Dec. ia rift in Dip
lomatic clouds shadowing Austrian Am
erican affairs, as result of the An
coma torpedoing was apparent today.
Both sides to the controversy show
ed signs of granting concessions, Of
fieials nere were more optimistic.
A new note to Austria, in unmis-
takably firm terms is in. preparation,
and is slated TO go forward at an early
moment. In it, the administration will
give some details of it's Ancona evi-
dence-Austria asked this-1and will
outline the principles of the Lusitania
settlement with Austria's ally, Ger
many. These concessions, however,
will not permit of further temporizing
on Austria's part, and they will be
accompanied by an ultimatum demand
ing immediate compliance with Am
erica's original demands.
The American rejoinder will be fin
ally determined at conference be-
tween President Wilson and Secretary
of State Lansing.
Inasmuch as the president is leaving
tonight on his honeymoon, the situation
will be in the secretary's hands, though
in event of necessity, Lansing natural
ly will confer with the president.
Austria Would Avoid Break.
From Teutonic sources came indi-
cations today that Austria does not
want break If it can be avoided
Moreover, the fact that the admins.
tration intends giving some concessions
in the way of information alleviated
the tension materially.
Examination of an immense amount
of documents Unnecessary in order that
the rejoinder may partly meet Aus
tria' 's request for further information.
To get this, Secretary lansing Coun-
selor Polk and Assistant Solicitor
Woolsey worked later.
To prevent further procrastination
and to meet the Austrian contention
that she has not been officially in
formed Of settlement OF the German
submarine controversy, the rejoinder
will include summary Of that.
Secretary Lansing Is understood to
believe that Austria knew of the Ger
submarine controversy,
though in her. reply she pleaded she did
not have official knowledge thereof.
Copies Of the GermanAmerican cor
respondence, nevertheless, were given
to Austria 8 representatives here.
The secretary was slated to confer

To attain this greatness there is,
like the divinity, a trinity to be OBJ
served. The attributes of the Holy
Trinity are The Father, Son and
Holy Ghost" The trinity essential
in human character to attain the
divinity of he perfect man are
equally important. T h ey are
honesty, sobriety aud industry.
HONESTY
Be honest in purpose, honest in
deed and act, honest with your
selves, deceive no one, do not play
the part of the hyprocrite, be truth
full, and remember that if you take
from Others that which is not your
own, be that wealth, h Onor or
distinction, that you rob your fellow
man and place burden about your
neck that in after years will be
grievous to bear. Strive to be what
Pope says is the noblest work of
God, An honest man.
S0BRIETY
Be sober, be candid, be calm, be
sedate, act with deliberation, do not
indulge in the frivolities and super
fluities of life. Keep a clean body,
clean mind, and Just as surely as
the crystal waters gush from the
mountainsides, just that sure will
pure heart and clear conscience
attend and console you by day and
protect and Soothe you by night.
INDUSTRY
Be energetic, be industrious, be
up and doing. Remember that the
training which you get in the
schools and colleges is not given
you that you may be idlers and
loafers, but it is given you that you
may be enabled to do more work,
better work, and accomplish more
for yourselves, for your country and
for the glory of the great Creator.
Then beseech you, it matters
not where you may be, that yon
ever keep present these three car
dinal virtues, these indispensable
attributes, Let them be your pillar
of cloud by day aud your pillar of
fire by night, and you will be loved
and respected in your youth, a
tower of strength in your manhood
and a radiant beacon light in your
old age,
| now present to you these at
testations of your advancement so
far, and hope that they may be an
ENCOURAGEMENT and incentive to
you to climb higher and higher and
achieve more and more. And to
this white rose--the only girl in the
class-which always adds beauty,
fragrance and grace to every as
semblaee; the chief elimination of
Gods infinite wisdom and Glory,

Quest awoke the next morning, stretched out his hand and glanced at the watch by the side of the bed. It was barely six o'clock. He turned over and dozed again, looked again at half past six, and finally, at few minutes to seven, rose and made nasty toilet. Then, in the act of placing his watch in his waistcoat pocket, he gave a sudden start. By it's side, half coy- cred by the handkerchief which he had thrown upon the little table, stood small black box! For a moment he was motionless. Then he stretched out his hand, removed the lid and drew out the usual neatly folded piece of paper:
 Even time fights you. 1t loses that you may lose.-The Hands.
 Quest for a moment was puzzled. Then he hurried into the next tent, where the professor was sleeping peacefully.
 Say, professor, what's the time by your watch?" Quest asked, shaking him gently.
 The professor sat up and drew his chronometer from under his pillow.
 Seven o'clock" he replied; five minutes past, maybe"
 Quest nodded.
 That seems all right" he declared. 'I'll explain later, professor"
 He hurried out into French's tent and found the inspector just drawing on his shoes.
 French, what's the timer" he de- manded.

 She smiled and pointed to the ris- ing ground behind them. In the faint moonlight two forms were just visi- ble.

 She laughed at him. Her face was a little drawn with pain, but her eyes were very soft.
 T wonder if you have it very bad ly,'' she murmured.
