THE WHITE WAY
QUESTION NOT
YET SETTLED
MATTER WILL BE DISPOSED
OF BY INCOMING COUNCIL.
REQUEST WITHDRAWN BY
WHITE WAY ASSOCIATION.

The Brunswick white way matter
will so over to the new administra-
ton.
The White Way association held an
interesting meeting yesterday after
noon and among other hings. it was
decided to withdraw the request sent
to council asking that it take over and
operate the white way
The association, to start with, found
that it had small sum of money in
the treaUsry with which the white
way could be lighted until January /.
1916. 1t was also realized that it
would be a hardship on an expiring
administration to ask ii to make an
appropriation for an incoming one, for
these reasons, it was voted to with
draw the petition recently sent to
council.
committee was sent from the as
sociation to the council last night and
when the matter came up Messrs. l..
II. Haym and b. f. Mann made ad-
dresses, showing the position of the
White Way association. They eX-
planned that the enterprise was OF a
civic nature; that the present council
was soon to pass out and that in jus
tice to all, the matter ought to be dc
ferred until the next administration
takes office. Alderman Ludwig OPP
posed the suggestion and argued
against it. He said the city had been
put in the wrong light. that only one
side of the controversy had been given
to the public and that the matter
ought tC be voted on.
After more or less discussion, a mo-
ton by Alderman Abrams that the
request of the White Way association
be granted and that their petition be
withdrawn, was carrie4s and il was so
ordered.

presented for adoption. The reso-
lution was drawn up by the Rev. Jen-

party as their platform.
More than a dozen members, includ-

Judge Ben B. Lindsey, OF Denver, re-
fused to sign On the ground that the
resolution was unpahiotic Some of
them even threatened to leave the
party after it reached Europe if the
proposed platform was put through.
Its supporters said the opponents of
the resolution failed to understand the
spirit OF Mr.. Fords invitation.
An appeal to the rulers OF Europe
was sent out by wireless today ad-
dressed individually to each reigning
monarch, reading:
Sir: We come in this time Of trou-

OFFICIAL CIRCLES BELIEVE
MAILED FIST WAS USED
Austrian People Don't Like Pro-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-With the
publication Of the text Of the note to
Austria official circles became aware
today that the mailed fist instead Of
soft words is being used by the United
States in its dealings with Austria for
the sinking Of the Ancona with the
resultant loss of American passengers
on board.
The diplomatic corps were imme-
.diately gravely concerned over the
outcome of the note.
If the Vienna government follows
the temper OF the Austrian people,
the United States demands viii be re-
iected at once, and this will mean an
immediate break in the diplomatic re
lstions between the United States and
Austria.
It is believed, however, that the ef-
feet Of such a breach would adversely
affect the Teut0ns in the Balkans, and
for that reason Austria may assume a
