record stands alone in the history Of
the worlds commerce. Not even Eng
land, with her peerless merchant
marine, which carries British manu-
featured products into the marts OF the
world, can approach it. The record
establishes the United States as the
great supply house of the world.
The total value of merchandise ex-
ported from the United States during
the 16 months, ended with November
80. is $4,110.910,160. Reports to the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce by collectors of customs, hand

cate another new monthly record will
be established by December with ex-
ports estimated at $400,000,00O. The
November exports were 1891, 144,527.
Using this estimate the total value Of
the exports for the II months will be
$3.50. 91O,16O.
The value of imports for the 16
months ended with November 80 was
$2,263, 626,2O3. The estimate for De.

November imports were $164,319,1 69.

The balance of trade in favor of the
United States since the war began
will be. nearly $2,500,O00,000. The
enormous size of the excess Of Ameri-
can exports over imports can hardly
be grasped. This excess represents
Dne-half of the value Of the estimated
holdings of American securities by
foreign investors. To state the condi.
ton in another form, If the war con
tinues another II months and Europe
continues to buy of the United States
at its present rate, the excess Of
American sales over purchases abroad
will be large enough to absorb al
American securities held abroad. TT
value of American stocks and bonds
held in Europe is estimated at $1,000,
100000. The railroads, municipalities
and various industrial enterprises and
big mines send to Europe every year
approximately $500, 100000 to pay in

EAST LASHED
BY WEIRD STORM
Thunder, Lightning, Rain, HAN
and Snow.
GALE OF NINETY NILES
Telegraph Wires Down and Shipping
Badly Damaged Ocean Liners
Dropped Anchor Until the
Gale Subsded.

New York.-One Of the weirdest
storms the East has seen in many
years-rain, hail and snow, accom-.
panied by thunder and lightning and
a gale that reached a maximum
velocity of 80 miles descended from
the northwest early Sunday as the
aftermath of Christmas fog. 1t in
directly caused seven deaths in this
vicinity, carried down telegraph wires,
damaged shipping, crippled railroad
traffic and caused considerable prop.
erty damage.
The phenomenon OF thunder and
lightning in the midst of driving
snow awakened New Workers at the
height of the storm about O'Clock. A
gale from the south, accompanied by
rain, had been blowing during the
night, but the temperature dropped
during the early morning hours, chang
ing the rain to hail and then to snow.
The local Weather Bureau reported .
total precipitation Of 81 inches, Of
which 2.8 was snow.
The wind shifted to the northwest
and increased in violence, reaching its
90-mile intensity at 8 o'clock and soon
after carrying off the storm clouds.
The gale continued, however, through
out the day, blowing in hundreds Q
plate-glass windows, hurling signs an
copings to the streets and dem0lis
ing several partly built structures. AN
The storm had it's centre in Massa-
chusetts, the Weather Bureau report
ed. and the telegraph companies said
their service in New England had
been badly crippled, although com
munication had not been entirely lost
with the principal cities.
Shipping of all kinds scurried to
shelter to escape the heavy seas, and
several ocean liners dropped anchor
until the gale abated. Twenty-Five
persons aboard Is canal boats driven
ashore off Sandy Hook were rescued
by the Coast Guard crew at that point,
assisted by the crew of the Coast
Guard cutter Seneca. Those saved in
cluded the wives and children Of the
boats captains James O'Neil, in com
mand of one of the boats, was knocked
into the sea by flying board and
drowned.
Woman Dies On Way To Church
The deaths in the city resulting from
the gale all occurred while the blind
ing snowstorm was at its height. A
fireman was fatally injured while re
spending to an alarm. A woman was
run over by street car. the motor
man of which could not see her on the
tracks. Another woman collapsed
and died in the street while battling
against gale on her way to church

transmitted to Washington, and has
consideration.
con November Is, 1915, Baron
zwiedinek, the Charge d'Affaires of
the Imperial and Royal Government at
Washington, transmitted to the De
partment of State report of the
Austro-H Hungarian Admiralty with re-
gard to the sinking of the steamship
Ancona, in which it was admitted that
the vessel was torpedoed after her
engines had been stopped and when
passengers were still. on board. This
admission alone is, ii the view Of the
Government OF the United States,
sufficient to Ak upon the commander of
the submarine which fired the torpedo
the responsibility for having willfully
violated the recognized law Of nations
and entirely disregarded those humane
principles which every belligerent
should observe in the conduct of war
at sea. In view of these admitted cir
cumstances, the Government of the
United States feels justified in holding
that the details of the sinking of the
Ancona, the weight and character of
the additional testimony corroborat-
ing the Admirality's report, and the
number of Americans killed or injured
are in no way essential matters of
discussion. The culpability Of the
commander is in any case established,
and the undisputed fact is that citi-
zens of the United States were killed,
injured or put in Jeopardy by his law
less act
The rules Of International law and
the principles of humanity which
were thus willfully violated by the
commander of the submarine have
been so long and so universally rec
ognized and are SO manifest from the
standpoint of right and Justice that
the Government of the United States
does not feel called upon to debate
them and does not understand that
the Imperial and Royal Government
questions or disputes them.
1.-The Government Of the United
STATES, therefore, mas no Otner
course open to it but to hold the I'm
perial and Royal Government re-
sponsible for the act of it's naval COM
mander and to renew the definite but
respectful demands made in its COM
munication of the sixth of December,
1915. 1t sincerely hopes that the
foregoing statement of it's position
will enable the Imperial and Royal
Government to perceive the justice of
those demands and to comply with
them in the same spirit of frankness
and with the same concern for the
good relations now existing between
the United States and Austria-Hun-
gary which prompted the Government
of the United States to make them.

FRYE REPLY EvAsIvE.
Leaves Doubt AS To BerIin's Stand
On Rights OF Persons On
Attacked Ships.

Westinghouse of its pos
sible bearing upon the open issues
involved in the Lusitania and Ancona
cases, the State Department will not
make public the details of Germany's
reply to the last American note re-
garding the sinking of the American
ship William p. Frye.
A cable outline of the German re-
ply indicated that it was not COM
pletely responsive, and left in doubt
the attitude of the German govern
ment towards the American suggestion
that the requirements of the declara-
ton Of London that Before the ves-
sci is destroyed all persons on board
must be placed in safety" was not
satisfied by merely giving an oppor-
tunity for escape in lifeboats on the
open sea.
The full text of the German note
now has been received through the
mails from Ambassador Gerard, it was
admitted at the State Department, but
officials declined to say what response
was made to this important sugges-
ton. II was intimated in some
quarters that as to agree to the Ameri-
can view at this time might seem to
prejudice the Austrian case in regard
to the Ancona, in addition to having
bearing upon the Lusitania negotia-
tions, the German government prob
ably had not conceded the point.
So far as the Frye case is con-
cerned this point is not directly in
volved, as the crew of the Frye was
taken aboard the German commerce
destroyer which sank the ship. There
fore. ii is thought that the subject may
be discussed as separate question,
OF perhaps in connection with the
practice of submarine warfare as in
volved In the Lusitania case.

TO MAKE DEBUT AS
FIRST LADY JAN. I
Mrs. Wilson to Receive at Pam
American Reception.
TO OPEN OFFICIAL SEASON
President and Bride Not To Return
From Hot Springs Until jan
uary S-EIaborate Prepare
tions For Reception.

Washington. - Announcement was
made that the first social function at
which Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, former.
ly Mrs. Norman Gait, the new mistress
of the White House, will appear Off
cially as the First Lady of the Land"
will be the reception that President
Wilson Is to give the night of jan
uary in honor of the delegates to
the Second Pan-American Scientific
Congress. This congress opened in
Washington Monday, December q, for
a 13-day meeting, and is being at
tended by prominent men from all of
the 81 American Republics.
The President and Mrs. Wilson will
not return to Washington from their
honeymoon at Hot Springs, Va. until
January 3, four days before the date
Of the White House reception to the
Scientific Congress, but the invita-
tons to the Delegates and their
families will have been meanwhile
issued and elaborate preparations for
the reception initiated. Besides being
the initial number on the White
House calendar of social functions for
the winter, the event in honor of the
Pan-American delegates win be the
first Pan-American reception ever
held in the White House.
In times past the White House
winter program usually started with a
New Years reception to which the
general public was invited, this being
followed at intervals by the annual
diplomatic corps reception, the con-
gressional, the Army and Navy and
the judicial reception. Inasmuch as
there will be no New Years reception
this season the public will not have
an opportunity to shake the hand of
the Presidents bride, but Washington
society is interested by the prospect
of seeing her soon for the first time
standing at the Presidents left side
and heading the line of Cabinet ladies.
The number of invitations, however, is
to be limited; for there will be about
1000 delegates at the congress, not to
mention wives and daughters, and 1t
would be a difficult IL not impossible
task to receive much larger number
On January s, the night before the
White House reception. President VIII
son will address the Congress at spe-
cial session in the building of the Pan
American Union. h

Court.
"Our divorce record here in Atlanta

through the absolute adjustment of
all divorce laws for a certain period
OF years. Perhaps by that time hus-
bands and wives would find that It is
not such difficult matter after all to

convinced of the wisdom of settling
among themselves disputes of the
home life, instead of rushing peIl-mell

Demands Renewed By U. S.

Washington. President Wilson's
reply to the Austrian note on the sink
ing of the Ancona was made public.
In it the United States serves notice
on Austria that this Government will
not discuss the circumstances of the
sinking of the Ancona or the legality
Of the submarine attack; that it will
not furnish Austria with bill of par
ticulars, and that it feels obliged to
renew the demands made upon Aus
tria in its first note.
To these items in the note the
United States adds another plain init
nation that refusal to yield on the
part of Austria will mean the break
ing off of diplomatic relations.
The demands which the United
States again makes upon Austria are:
]. Denunciation of the sinking of
the Ancona.
2. Punishment of the submarine
commander responsible.
3. Reparation by the payment OF a
money indemnity.
mCaUo ItCtQ VI q 0iSdN'
On the note just made public de-
ponds whether Austria shall continue
10 have diplomatic relations with the
United States. The note has been de-
livered to the Foreign Office in Vienna,
but as yet no definite indication has
reached Washington as to whether or
not Austria will yield.
While the note given out is not an
ultimatum in the true sense of the
word, because 1t imposes no time limit,
Il clearly conveys an impression OF
finaiity which is expected to prevent
any further attempt at discussion I'M
less Austria should see fit to repudiate
the statement of her Admiralty, upon
which the entire case of the United
States is based.
Regard For Austria's Pride.
Taken as whole, this Govern
ments second note to Austria is
milder than the first II is free from
such expressions as ''barbarous,"
"abhorrent," "wanton slaughter" and
Outrage" which characterized the
first communication and which were
largely responsible for the deep feel
ing that was aroused in Austria and
Hungary.
The United States In the second
note. while yielding not an iota as re-
CARDS its demands and the principles
involved, has obviously made an eff
fort TO soften the tone OF its COM
munication.
This Is regarded by the Presidents
advisers as a wise move. The State
Department has been informed that
the sharp, harsh character OF the first
note made 1t impossible for Austria
to yield without deep humiliation. The
officials OF the State Department saw,
too, that a reiteration of the offensive
words used in the iirst note would not
only not add to the strength of the
United States position but would be
certain further to inhame the Aus
trian people.
