WON'T CEDE LAND UNTIL
AFTER CLOSE OF WAR
Austria Wants to Hold Territory Pro-
posed to BE Coded as Guaran-
tee of Italy's Good Faith.
CONDITIONS NoT ACCEPTABLE

Rome. March IA despatch received
from Vienna today says that the EN-
peror Francis Joseph received Baron
won Burian, the Foreign Minister the
Minister of War and Archduke Eugene
in audience today and went over with
them the measures adopted against a
possible invasion from Italy.
The army destined to resume the
offensive against Serbia VIII consist
of lately trained troops, while large
numbers Of experienced soldiers are
being concentrated on the Italo~Aus-
trian frontier. The fortidcatians near
est Italy have been strengthened and
since the defense is facilitated by the
snow covered mountains an invasion is
considered a difficult proposition.
A despatch says in conclusion that
Francis Joseph approved the plan and
urged a strenuous defense, especially
of Trente which he referred 10 az the
toor leading to Vienna.
The Trihuna today has an article
dated Vienna. but which was really
telegraphed from the frontier, that
purports to he an outline OF Austria s
position In regard to the cession of
territory to Italy in payment for ltal-
ian neutrality.
won't Deliver Territory New.
The statement says that Austria.
without rejecting on Itaiy's good faith.
contends that 1t IL only natural that
she should wish to insure Italian neu :
trality and that she therefore feels
that she should carry out her part OF
fhe proposed agreement only when an
italian pledge of nouintervention has
been actually fulfilled.
Austria takes the position that this
fulfllment of Itaiy's engagement to
stay out OF the war, before terri
torial concession is made is the more
necessary in that the REIMBURSEMENT
OF the province of Trente would imply
the weakening of Austrian military re
sources with regard to Italy.
The Tribuna says that the conditions
Austria imposes cannot be accepted by
italy and that IL they are maintained
any friendly agreement Will be ina
possible. II points out that no min
istry would accept as a satisfaction Of
national aspirations, simple promise
to be carried out at the end Of a war,
the outcome of which no one can fore
tell.

Mis. Gladys Cooper, Whos1 Beauty Is of the Fair Eng fish Type Not Infrequent
 in American Families.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-18

distinguishes her from all other types of beauty?
 May it not be true even so short time as three hundred years-ten generations have developed in descendants of the old Puritan stock character, inner elements of beauty which now express themselves out wardly? Never in history has there been quite such an opportunity in the develop ment of a race to bring out the beauty forces of character.
 Do these qualities become attenuated when thrown into the melting pot? Does marriage with aliens of widely differing races tend to blot out these characteristics, or are they potent enough, like the Biblical little leaven that leaveneth the whole lump to persist, and even gain force, in the offspring? The facility with which the first generation born of such marriages takes on the characteristic American sem- Dlance IS everywhere remarked. After the first generation the "hyphen" is obliterated There are only Americans, ana the beauty Is only American beauty.
 Of such origin is Miss Florence Cassassa
 The committee of celebrated artists who selected her to impersonate Electra" during Electrical Prosperity Week" at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, frankly ac- knowledge her to be product of the great American melting pot; nevertheless she is selected for her superiority among beau ties who are American. She is tall and "queenly," with the artists ideal in fea- lures, called regular" and those features are animated by those beauty factors of the soul, mind and character which distinguish American beauty wherever it is seen
 Of course, Miss Cassassa had to pass the purely physical tests always applied by artists. the artistic standard being the Venus de Milo. Here are the measurement COmpariSOns.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-18

MT. Alonzo Kimball says that the Ameri- can type must possess a beautiful mind pleasing temperament, without which nobody, no matter how physically perfect, can be anything but insipid, and uninspir ing. He believes that the true American type is of medium coloring, light brown hair and clear complexion, and of medium height and figure. Hence after much men, tai travail he finally cast his vote for Miss Cassassa.
 Nickolaki, the artist from Greece, the very birthplace of the beautiful, believes that the American type of beauty is in process of evolution. After the American girl has adapted her complexion to with. stand the over stimulation oI tne climate, she will be even more beautiful. She is a composite of many races, but perhaps, the most typical is the combination of the Anglo Italian, the result of the fusion c. the Teutonic and Latin races. Miss Gas sassa is a perfect example of this union wholesome type, athletic of figure, with lovely teeth, and great vivacity and intelli- gence. She comes nearest to the American ideal of the future.
 O. Warde Traver believes there can be no beauty without refinement, character and health. She should embody the ideal of the higher life of harmony and must therefore possess an instinctive under standing Of the laws of health and happi- ness. This kind of girl by just being her self uplifts American thought; from herself she evolves the flower of beauty, grace, loveliness. That is the kind of girl" said MT. Traver, q like to paint. must fall in love with her just bit, or how can un- derstand her? and she must be-er--sym. pathetic, or how can fall in love. It's part of the game. Miss Cassassa appeals to me as fulfilling the most exacting re- quirements of what she must and must not be-"
 Probably never again will a prize beauty of any nation enjoy such exploitation as Miss Cassassa is achieving. The electrical exhibitors at the exposition are scattering postcards of Electra" broadcast in millions.

r-HE selection of Miss Florence Cas-
 sassa, daughter of an American
 l mother and an Italian father, from a large number of beautiful contestants to represent American beauty during "Electrical Prosperity Week" at the Pan- ama-Paciic International Exposition in San Francisco, gives timely interest to the question, what makes an American Beauty?
 Is beauty to be weighed, measured deter mined by physical standards accepted by painters and sculptors? If so, if proportions in detail and prescribed physical Hines of beauty" have standardized beauty where in does American beauty differ from that of any other nation? If complexion, tints of the skin and color of the eyes and hair are factors to be considered, it will be admitted that American beauty embraces all color types, with variations virtually Indigenous in the West, East, South and North of the country. And so does beauty in other nations. What, then, differentiates the American type?
 Probably there are Old World judges of beauty who will deny the existence of such thing as separate and distinct American beauty type, for the reason that there is no such thing, ethnologically, as an American-except the American Indian, who has never entered into such competi- tions They will remind you that Amer jeans" are a crucibe product, a result of persistent and generous use of the melt ing pot; that they are an amalgam of all nations under the sun, and can only be considered as such. Therefore American Beauty" should be hyphenated in the beauty catalogues - English American, German American, French-American, Italian-Amer- ican, and so on.
 Yet American Beauty" Is famed the world over. You hear the term-even with infections of rapture-in every European capital. It is freely acknowledged that the type is not only distinct, but admirable, the equal of any, ancient or modern. Why is this?
 Does the answer depart from the phy- sicai standards, dealing with the psycho- logy of the subject? Is it the mind, the spirit, the moral nature, the character of the American beauty, shining through and Illuminating her physical charms which
