ANCONA NOTE
IN WASHINGTON

partment During Night
and Early Today

met Meeting When the Work of the
Translators Was Finished-Given to
Penfield Wednesday,

WASHINGTON, Dee. 17.-Austria 5
reply to the Ancona note was received
at the state department during the
night and early today was being de
coded to be laid before President Will
son and Secretary Lansing.
\ despatch from Ambassador Pen
field, evidently delayed III transmits
mission, was received Just ahead of
the note. It said the reply had been
delivered to him by the Vienna foreign
office Wednesday Mt noon and that he
had Immediately sent it to Washing
ton.
The note as received here is about
1000 words long.
The translators finished their work
Of deciding the Austrian reply while
the cabinet was in session and state
department messenger brought the note
to the White House and it was at once
sent in TO Secretary Lansing
The cabinet discussed the note more
than an hour. The gravity Of the situa-
ton caused by the Austrian reioinder
to the American demand, which is con
sidered evasive, unsatisfactory and un-
acrcptable, remains unchanged.
The next step will not he decided up
on until some minor points not clear in
the official text are checked up The
apparent discrepancies are not i'm
portant and may be due to- transmits
sion or translation Of the state depart
ment code, but they viii be cleared up
before another move Is made.
Secretary Lansing said after the cab.
met meeting that he did not know
when the official text of the note would
be given out for publication, and that
it certainly would not be made public
until he had opportunity to study il
carefully and at length. Diplomatic re
lations, although in danger of being
broken off, are not likely to be dis
continued at least before there has
been another exchange of notes witt
Vienna, and so the crisis may be sal,
not to be in its final state.

EXPRESS BUSINESS
UNUSUALLY HEAVY
Larger Receipts in November than for
Corresponding Month in 1918, in
Spite of Lower Rates.

The express business in Brattleboro
IS unusually. heavy. 1t is not entirely
because Of the Christmas business. for
the month of November developed lar
ger receipts for the express company
here than did the corresponding month
IN 1913. Two years ago the rates were
higher so that to do more business last
month than two years before under
higher rates indicates a material in

Is 1t Your Kidneys?
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. A Logan Citizen
Gives q Valuable Hint

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think
it will soon correct itself. And so
it is with all the other symptoms of
kidney disorders. That Is where
danger often lies. You should re-
alize that these troubles often lead
to dropsy or Brights disease. An
effective remedy for weak or dis
eased kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Read the experience of a resident OF
Logan who has tasted Doan's:
Mrs. Ann L. Cowley, 70 North
Fifth West street, Logan, says: Il
know that Doan's Kidney Pills are
good remedy and will say that peo-
pie can place entire confidence IN
them. have seen what Doan's Kid
ney Pills will do right in my fam

pears that there is a mountain called
Omi on the borders Of China and
Tibet, where 1t was claimed that the
devout worshiper might occasionally
see, from the summit, the image Of his
great teacher Buddha approaching the
mountain. This belief was recorded
as a mere idle superstition by ex-
plorers, until one Of the latter hap.

Early Views Of Suez.

The governments notification that
enemy ships are not to be allowed to
shelter in the Suez canal reminds us
Of the strange views as to the military
future Of the canal entertained by
those who opposed its construction.
Lord Palmerston insisted that Its OBJ
vious purpose was "the barring of the
passage along the coast Of the Med
iterranean to any Turkish army which
might be employed to restore the en-
pire Of the sultan, by opening a great
military canal 300 feet broad and 30
feet deep, laid with batteries" AS a
commercial enterprise, he pronounced
the scheme "a mere bubble" But In
this prophecy he was not singular. The
Times in 1859 wrote Of "the suspicious
project Of the impracticable Suez
canal" and Disraeli, who was after
wards to buy the canal shares, called
It "a most futile idea, totally impos-
sible to be carried out."-London Daily
Chronicle.
