TEXT OF ANCONA NOTE
BEFORE CABINET


may be said not to be in its final stage.
Another note setting out why the
United States cannot accept Austria's
reply will go forward before the situa-
tion takes on a more settled aspect.
Meanwhile there are some oppor-
tunity and hints of informal negotia-
tions which might smooth out the
troubled situation. The frequent calls
of Baron Zweidinek, the Austrian
charge at the State Department. give
some color to discussion along that
line and those who expect that at the
end the differences will be adjusted,
count on the influence of Berlin to
counsel Vienna to avoid q break.
Informal Negotiations
Some time after the Cabinet meet
ing Prince Hohenlohe. one of the en-
bassy attaches, called on Secretary
Lansing and presented a communi-
cation. Both the prince and the sec
retary's office refused to indicate its
nature. but the presentation of an
other communication lent strength to

May Move State Road

Recently there was some talk of
widening the lower end of the yards
and adding two more tracks, making
a four-track system through West
talrView and into Wormleysburg. In
addition to this, it is intimated, too,
tfat the company is contemplating the
widening of the big yards by the re-
moval of thousands of tons of earth
on the west side of the yards. In fact
the reports go so far as to say that
with the contemplated improvements,
the present State road which runs
along the west side of the yard, will
have to be moved several hundred feet
further west The reported presence
OF corps of Altoona engineers also
seems to lend some credence to the
rumor of the contemplated enlarge
ment of the yards. These men are
said to have taken measurements for
the proposed enlargement of the yard
which would extend to a point very
| few feet in front of the Young
Mems Christian Association building
and through the athletic field which
adjoins on the north. If the yards
were to be widened to that extent ther
the improvement would necessitate
the removal of a score of dwellings
and stores along the State road which
face the present yards Excavations

shovel would touch the State road.
The yards would necessarily have tc
be extended west, rather than east
because there is very little space be.

territory and because of the narrow

EXTEND SIDINGS
in ENOLA YARDS
Increased Traffic Makes Addi.
tional Car Space Abso-
lutely Necessary

Because of the crowded condition
and the congestion or freight traffic
in the Enola yards of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company, gangs of men
are at work at the present time ex-
t~nding a number of sidings of the
classification ladder for the accommo-
dation of more cars. When this work
is completed the yards capacity will
be increased by 1913 cars, a trivial inn
provement, officials say.
The increased freight traffic during
the past several months has tested The
big yards capacity and although, it is
said, there would be no trouble in
handling the present amount of freight
in warm wather, much difficulty is ex-
perienced in getting it over the humps
IN cold weather. Because of the con-
gestlon, 1t is reported also, that some
freight must be handled several times
before 40 is sent on its way.
