Should Germany answer this In the
affirmative those Urging this course
say that 1t will then be time to con-
slider whether any further interests
put forth by Germany are relevant
to the cases in hand, and whether
therefore, the United States can enter
discussion of them. Should Ger
many answer in the negative, this
group will consider that Germany has
admitted by her own declaration that
she is an outlaw among nations. and
deserving of treatment as such. Sever

many, in the event of such reply
being made from Berlin. would. in
their epiaion, be the ses4ca! ,sssses s!:as-st~
able responses of the tinted States.
Result OF Failure.
In this connection. there were some
discussion ar the cabinet meeting as
TO the probable courses open to the
United States in the event OF the
worst coming from the present diplo-
matte negotiations Only three pos
sible courses were acknowledged
open hostilities with Germany, a sew
ering of diplomatic relations, or a
laying Of an embargo on the shipment
al off exports to Germany. 1t can
be said that no deeisioR has been
reached as TO the course OF the
United States in the event of Germany
refusing TO satisfy the Presidents de-
mands Such a decision will not be
seriously taken up until Ii is apparent
that the diplomatic negotiations have
failed.

TWIN BEDS" PROVES HIGHLY
 AMUSING TO BIG AUDIENCE
Crowd Goes From One Paroxysm of Laughter AnoherD verting Situations Without Suggestive Line-Very
 Good Company Interprets Various Roles

Salisburg Field and Margaret Mayo are responsible for the highly enter taining farce. Irwin Beds, which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night before crowded house, begin- ming an engagement of two nights and a matinee. After the fun started there was little opportunity given the au- dience to recover from one paroxysm of mirth before it was seized by an other, so rapid was the action and so mirthful the situations presented. The authors of this extremely clever play wrought well and have succeeded in weaving a highly entertaining story about twin beds without introducing any suggestive line or a scene to give offense
 It would be unkind to those who anticipate seeing the play to unfold the plot. It is enough to say that the humorous escapades of a tempera- mental Italian tenor who gets intoX- icated and goes to bed in the wrong flat and is pursued thither by another, but perfectly proper, husband who mis- takes the tenor for a burglar and is himself mistaken for person of preda- tory tendencies by a jealous housemaid and is locked into closet by her, are some of the salient details of the com edy.

AUSTRIA MAKES AN INQUIRY REGARDING
 GOR|CAR STATEMENT
Vienna Wishes to Know on What Facts Assertions of Former Consul
 Were Based

Washington, December 2.-The state department has received from the Austro- Hungarian government. through Ambas- sador Denfield at Vienna, formal in- quiry regarding the statement recently issued at the department of justice which was considered by the Austrian embassy here as being in confirmation of the charges by pr. Goricar former Aus trian consul.
 Austrias inquiry asked whether the department of justice had issued such a statement in regard to the charges made by the former Austrian consul, and if so, upon what grounds it based it's asser- tion which appeared to be contirmatory in nature?
 Goricar charged in effect that Aus trian consulates in the Unite States, op- erating under the direction of the Gel man embassy, were concerned in con spiracies to cripple munitions plants.
 No reply to the communication has been made and when one will be transmitted or what it's contents might be, was not disclosed at the state department.
