In announcing the forwarding OF the

ably would be given out for publication

cred to the British Foreign Office before
Thursday An arrangement then will be
made with the Foreign Office for stimuli
taneous publication in this country and in
England.
The note asks Great Britain for an
amelioration OF the terms OF the order

fl j is as to the trade of the United States
with neutrals and unblockaded ports than
was contained in the December note of
this Government to Sir Edward Grey.
Emphasis is laid on Great Britaln's
disregard for the rights OF American
commerce and the cases of the vessels
wilhelmlna and Mamarcas are cited OBJ
lection Is made to the secrecy surround
ing the case OF the Mamarcas and the
delay concerning the Wilhelmina
II is pointed out that the actions of
Great Britain in the cases of these two
vessels are in direct conflict with the
representations in the reply of Sir Ed
ward Grey to the December note, wherein
he asserted that due expedition was being
taken in all cases.
This Government takes issue with Great
Britain on the doctrine of goods to
order and to enemy destination" 1t
declares it will not accept the PROPOSE
tion that goods sent to neutral port
from which they might get into the
hands of the enemy. are subject to
seizure.
In general. the declarations in the note
are for freedom of trade between

Austrian troops have invaded the Rus

fact that their left wing had been pressed

The strength of the Austro- o-German

the fanking of the Russian armies in

about 10000, though the War Office char

'ONE CAMERA-TWO HEARTS"
By A. Burstein.

It was growing dark as the loud-voiced
student started about the campus to look
for Joseph Selman. He shouted his name
several times and then suddenly came upon
his quarry in corner, mumbling some
thing very softly.
"Why didn' It you answers Didn It you
hear me?" was his indignant demand.
But the figure in the corner did not
move or utter an ineligible reply. The
other looked about perpexedly and waited.
Then Joseph stopped mumbling and
turned around. "Hello, Ingalls" he cried
joyfully, ''glad to see you! couldn It an

"Delighted," murmured the student.
"Mr. Ingalls, said was wapted.'

Joseph turned in some surprise. Ere
he had regained his poise, the visitor
opened with an abrupt question. "Can
