But no, if the women and men who
MAKE this accusation would stop and
figure out the reason for these steps
on the part Of the man.
Let us start with the gowns worn
by the girls of today. They are cut so
low at the neck that it is a disgrace;
their skirts are so short that their
limbs are exposed nearly to their
knees.
All of these things go on to irTitate
man into doing things which are not
proper, such as making advances to
these girls, and using brutal force
to compel these innocent girls to do
wrong.
And in closing may I say: Women,
dress properly and you will not be

London, Dec. 1.-THE reply of the
Austro- Hungarian government to the
note from the United States relative
to the sinking OF the steamer Ancona
by an Austrian submarine was hand
ed to Frederick C. Penfeld, United
States ambassador at at Vienna, on
Tuesday, according to a dispatch from
Amsterdam to Reuters Telegram
company. The correspondent quotes
the reply as follows.
The note says that from the sharp
ness with which the government Of
the United States believed 1t ought to
censure the commander of the subma-
rine and from the firmness with which
the demands addressed TO the Austro-
Hungarian government appear TO have
been brought forward, it could be eX-
pected that the American government
would clearly give the actual circum-
stances upon which it relies.
LAS can be easily recognized, the
representation OF the circumstances
contained i'll tine note allows numerous
doubts and gives not at all sufficient
reasons for blaming the commander
of the submarine and the Austro-Hun
earian government, it is held, even if
the representation proves correct in
all points and judgment in the case
is based on the most rigorous legal
Interpretation.
Names of Witnesses Omitted.
THE American government also
omitted to indicate the persons to
whose statements 1t refers and to
whom it apparently believes it must
worthiness than to a commander Of
the imperial royal navy.
"As to the number. names and the
details concerning the fate of the
American citizens, who, in the critical
moment. were aboard the above men
toned steamer, the note does not give
any explanation. But, in view of the
fact that the Washington cabinet has
given a positive declaration that at
the above mentioned incident sub
jects of the United States came to
grief, the Austro- Hungarian govern
inent in principle is prepared to enter
into an exchange of opinions with the
American government
"But, in the first instance, 1t must
raise the question of why this govern
ment refrained from judicially mott
waiting the demands stated in its note
with regard to the special circum-
stances of the discriminating incident,
which are especially pointed out by
the American government, and in the
place of such motivations, mentions
