TEXT OF ANCONA NOTE
 REVEALS STRONG STAND

weight and character of the addi- tional testimony corroborating the Admiralty's official report, the number of Americans killed or in- jured being no essential matter in the discussion, establishes the cul- pability of the commander, and it is an undisputed fact that citizens of the United States were killed and injured or placed in jeopardy of their lives by such lawless acts, the rules of international law and the principles of humanity being thus wilfully violated which have been so long and so universally re- cognized and so manifest from the standpoint of right and justice, tha- the government of the United States does not feel called upon to debate them and does not undcr- stand that the Imperial and Royal government questions or disputes them, the Government of the United States therefore finds no other course open but to hold the Imperial and Royal government responsible

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Formcr Sec retary of the Interior Fisher assail- ed the false doctrine" that econo- mic welfare depended upon the ac- quisition of political dominions and commercial privileges abroad.
 Fisher said that this idea was ur- fortunately general, but it was also unfortunately the cause of innumer- able wars He believed that the present war is traceable to thls idea.
 The statement of Fisher is strang' ely at outs with that which prevails in his party wherein imperialism, ar the "falso doctrine' alluded to, is better known, played no small part.
 Fisher however was always more or less of a progressive republican and the appointment of the Ch.ca- oan to succeed Ballinger, it will be

Thisadmitted that the vessel was torpedoed after the engines had been stopped and while passengers were still on board. This admission alone is suffl- cient to fix upon the commander of the submarine tho responsibility with wilfully violating the recog- nized law of nations, and he disre- garded all those principles which belligerents should observe conduct ing war upon the seas. In view Of the admitted circumstances, the United States government feels jus tified in holding the de- tails of the Ancona sinking, the

PITTSBURG, Dee. 22.-The, State Banking Department has. closed per manently the Bank of Savings rated first class, and with ten million dollars on deposit.
 It is as yet undetermined what amount the depositors will get and there is a panic in the city.

 The failure is said to be due to speculating in war stocks, although this is questioned in the Dispatch. The statement is made however that it has been we'll footed by the finan cial pirates who controlled it's desti- nies.

Ferrous beauty Of
Aesfeld Eolliess

No woman, that is, no woman who
cares about her appearance, is willing
to grow fat around the waist or to
let the figure sag until the abdomen
protrudes.
Yet for those inclined to obesity
diet and much exercise are the only
cure. The bending exercise Illus
trated in the accompanying picture
is the best to keep ones waistline
trim and promote health, beauty and
grace.
Here are the directions:
Stand with the feet together, arms
at sides; take full breath and hold
it while the body is bent forward from
the hips. Keep the knees straight
and swing the arms back as the body
bends over. Exhale slowly while re-
turning to upright position.
This gives the muscles of the alb
domen work" to do, and thus burns
up the fatty tissue that otherwise
would accumulate there.

him in that position. was the testimony
given Saturday by Warren n. Stone.

Engineers. He had been haunted for
two years by a fear that this would hap
pen. he added.
He was testifying before the board
which is to arbitrate the demand of the
employees Of railroads west of the Mis-
sissippi for an increase in wages The
session was devoted to the demand OF
the employees that such surprise" eff
ficiency tests be eliminated as unfair to
them
Mr.. Stone said he and the men favored
the ordinary tests. as they were de-
pendent on the efficiency OF each other
for their own safety and that of their
trains and passengers. He said:
Il could write a rule in twenty words
that would meet our wishes and not i'm

would require that the tests should re-
