DUPONT COMPANY IS
 GUARDING AGAINST
 HYPHEN ACTIVITIES
John Szodoba Taken in Tow Under discriminating Circumstances. Was Equipped for
 Destruction

Salem, N J., December 16.-Detectives of the DuPont Powder company today ar rested John Szodoba. alias Dr. Jacob Swo- boda, alias Louis Hartman, a former em- plcye of the powder company, who, &C., ccrding to the detectives and Salem of ficials, has recently been acting in a sus- picious manner and who, they believe, knows more about the recent explosions at the DuPont plants than he will admit. The charge lodged against Szodoba was the larceny of goods valued at about $3, but Magistrate Harris D. Smith, who Eeld the prisoner under $1O00 bail for a further hearing, declared tonight that he considered the arrest "a very important one"
 Szodoba was taken into custody at his boarding house at Penn Grove, where is located one of DuPonts largest plants. In his room, the officials say, they found a large quantity of guncotton, both raw and treated, nitroglycerin, dynamite and number of letters written in French and German. The explosives, the prisoner told Magistrate Smith, had been left in his room by fellow boarders.
 Szodoba admitted, according to the of ficials, that he had served four years in Sing Sing prison for grand larceny, and a term in the Eastern penitentiary, at Philadelphia for burglary

GERMAN COMMENT

Berlin, December 17-(Via London The Lokal Anzeiger the Tages zeitung, the Kreuz Zeitung and the Zeitung Am Mittag all express thorough approval of the Austro-Hungarian reply to the Amer ican note on the Ancona Of the out-of- town papers. the Cologne Gazette and the Cologne Volks Zeitung praise "the delft and polished manner in which Count Bu- rian found weaknesses in his opponent s fence"
 The Loloal Anzeiger points out that the Austrian reply has not fulfilled American expectations of prompt compliance with all the demands but that on the contrary the Austro-Hungarian government, while entering "a dignified disclaimer against the wholly unjustified sharpness of the American demands requests some legal foundation for the accusations against the submarine commander.
 "President Wilson," 1t continues "has considered 1t right to demand in the brusquest tone compensation and self punishment on the basis of statements of anonymous witnesses and on the basis of material which was so slight ly convincing that the collector was forced to rob it of effectiveness by indefinite expressions, like reliable in- formation,' or that the ship appar- ently did not attempt to escape
 "The Austrian note will bring Pres ident Wilson to realization that in international relations it is not suf- ficient to make demands, but that the first facts on which demands are based must be substantiated and that mass ing proofs cannot be replaced by big, rude words. It is the Presidents duty now to prove that the Ancona did not flee. If he Is unsuccessful In this he will have no alternative, in view of his earlier interpretation of interna- tional law, to abandoning satisfaction of his demands.
 "The Austro- Hungarian government in any case has placed him in the un- pleasant position of being forced to receive invitation to exchange views rather than the expected prompt reply complying with his wishes"
 The Kreuz Zeitung does not attempt to conceal it's pleasure and satisfac- tion at "the delicious way" in which the elementary lessons in diplomatic procedure have been imparted and wonders whether President Wilson and Secretary Lansing twill accept their

WILL ISSUE BONDS ID BUILD BRIDGE
The Tombigbee Structure at Jackson to Inaugurate
 Tolls to Insure Project

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 A rousing meeting was held at this place yesterday in interest of the Jackson highway. The meeting was attended by the boards of commissioners of both Clarke and Washington counties, as well as other citizens of these counties.
 From Mobile county were Capt. John Craft, MT Irvine and Captain Nichol Mir Keller highway engineer, was also present. plan was suggested and adopted by the meeting which, in my opinion, will result in the erection of bridge across the Tombigbee river at this place. The plan is this: A toll bridge is to be built by private capital. This bridge is to be under the control of the commits sioners of Clarke and Washington coun- ties, they granting a franchise to the com pany. In order to raise money to build this bridge. 5 per cent interest bearing bonds are to be issued by the company and sold. The counties of Clarke and Wash lngton guarantee the interest on these bonds for five years.
 Should the bridge, however, yield to the stockholders dividend of per cent. then these counties would be out nothing It strikes me that this plan should suc- eeed We cannot hope to get this bridge built in any other way except by some plan like this. As has been stated be- fore. Clarke and Washington counties are not financially able to build this bridge, and it is up to the people living along the proposed route of the Jackson highway to come across with the neces- sary funds for the erection of this bridge There is no kind of doubt but that this bridge will be paying proposition after the first two or three years. The Jack son highway will benefit directly and in- directly every property owner along the entire route.
 The Tombigbee bridge seems to be all that Is in the way of our securing the Jackson highway. Let it be built Two hundred men with $500 can build this bridge and never feel the burden. Let our people get busy and show to the world and Mississippi that we are wide- awake, progressive people.

|NSOLENCE OF THE AUSTRIAN REPL ' IS EXTRAORDINARY SAYS LONDON PAPER
Could Hardly Have Been More Defiant in Refusal Than Text Indicates. Rupture Should Be Vel cOmed

London, December 17.-The London morning papers show little disposition to comment on the Ancona case A majority of them carry no editorials on the subject. Among the exceptions, however, is the Daily News, which issue, namely, a rupture of diplomatic relations.
 The Daily News says: 'The extraor- dinary insolence of the Austrian reply Is yelled somewhat by its extremely bad composition, but its general tenor is clear and there could scarcely be a more flat defiance of a peremptory demand. The full seriousness of the situation depends upon the degree in which Germany may be implicated In view of the new developments the note certainly could not have been sent without Germany's approval, for mo- body seriously doubts that in this campaign, as in all the rest of her policy, Austria is the subservient tool of her ally. $ * An open rupture with Austria will definitely free the United States government from even a seeming conformation of the subma- rine crimes and will do much to re- store her prestige and authority among civilized nations, which she will need if she is to play adequate ly the part to which her greatness and destiny call her"

defeat or sever diplomatic relations ''
 'The result will be very instructive, , says the Kreuz Zeitung, "as showing which manner of treatment is to be recommended in the relations with Washington"
 The Cologne Gazette says:
 The Austro-H Hungarian note is much subtler and therefore more ef- fective than the American note. Wash ington has made the task unusually light by it's reference to the corres- pondence with Berlin. Tn earnest and polite tones Austria Hungary reserves complete liberty to discuss the Ancona case"
 The Volks Zeitung says: Count Burian chooses against President Will sons preponderous method the trench ant weapon of biting irony. His answer is really refreshing treat and signi- fies, for the time being, a flat reJec- tion of MT. Wilson's demands"
 The Munich Neuerste Nachrichten says: "The dignified and business like tone of the answer offers a pleasant contrast to the weakness of the req soning on which Washington based its demands. Any unprejudiced reader com pairing the two notes can see clearly which side has the best of the argu- ment The American government in drafting it's demands left itself uncov- cred at many points but the diplo matic armor of the Austrian repre- sentative showed not a weak spot"

WAR AT A GLANCE

Comments of German newspapers in- dicate that Austria-H Hungary will not comply with all the demands of the Uni- ted States regarding the sinking of the Ancona. The text of the Austro-H Hun- garian reply has not been received in Washington, but apparently has been made public in Berlin and other German cities. Newspaper accounts say that proposals are embodied in the reply for an exchange of views and that the Uni ted States government Is asked to fur nish proofs of it's charges against the commander of the submarine which de- stroyed the Ancona with the loss of American lives.
 Washington dispatches indicate that the United States will insist upon prompt compliance with it's original demand, dis patching second note to Vienna if the Austrian reply proves to be unsatisfac- tory and then, if necessary, breaking off diplomatic relations with the Austrian government
 By agreement between Bulgaria and Greece, neutral zone extending two Kilometres on each side of the Greek frontier has been arranged. The zone was established at the instance of Bull garia, which an official communication from Sofia says desires to avoid any possibility of accidents between Bulgar- ian advance posts and Greek frontier guards. Although the Bulgarians have halted to the north of the Greek bound ary and have made no attempt to follow the British and French forces falling back on Saloniki, there is a possibility that the operations against the entente allies may not long be deferred. JJnof- ficial advices say that 6O,0OO Germans are now at Gievgeld, near the Greek border. and that others are approaching.
 France and Great Britain, however. continue to land additional forces of men and arms and ammunition at Saloniki and Saloniki dispatch quotes a high officer there as saying that the entente allies will not quit Salonil1i until peace is signed
 Meanwhile the -Hungarians and Bulgarians continue to push further into Montenegro and along the Albanian from tier To the west of Ipek, in Montene- gro, they are declared by Vienna to have forced the Montenegrins to retreat toward Playa and Gusinje which lies in the direction of the north Albanian from tier The capture of heights north of Bjelopolje and of ground half way be- tween Razaj and Berane is also reported by Vienna.
 Again from the French front come only reports of artillery and mining oper- ations. On the Russian front scarcely any fighting is taking place. Bombard- ments, interspersed here and there with infantry attacks, are in progress along the Austro-Italian line with no apprecia- ble changes in the positions of either side.
 The heavy artillery of the allied troops on the Gallipoli peninsula is bombarding across the Dardanelles the Turkish bat teries in Asia. The Turks at Kut-El- Amara, in Mesopotamia, have not re- stunned their attacks against the British since their recent deleat, in which the British General Townshend estimated they lost fully one thousand men.
 The American note to France concern. ing the removal from steamers of the Porto Rico line of Austrian and German subjects has been delivered to the French foreign ofice
