Latest Note to Austria on Ancona
Incident.
The text of the latest note from
the United States to Austria is as fol
lows
! TO the American Ambassador at
Vienna
THE government of the United
States has received the note OF your
excellency relative to the sinking of
the Ancona, which was delivered at
Vienna on December 10, 1915, and
transmitted to Washington, and has
given the note immediate and careful
consideration.
ION Noymber -, 1915, Baron Zwied
mex. the charge, d'affaires of the inn
perial and royal government at Wash
I ington. transmitted to the state de-
partment a report Of the Austro Hun
earian admiralty with regard TO the
sinking OF the steamship Ancona, III
which it was admitted that the vessel
was torpedoed after her engines had
Z been stopped and when passengers
were still on board. This admission
alone is. in the view OF the govern
ment of the United States, sufficient
! to fix upon the commander of the sub
marine Which fired the torpedo, the re-
sponsibility for having wilfully violat-
ed the recognized law OF nations and
entirely disregarded those humane
principles which every beiligerent
should observe in the conduct of war
at sea.
In view of these admitted circum-
stances, the government of the United
Estates feels justified in holding that
the details of the sinking OF the An
coma, the weight and character of the
additional testimony corroborating
the admiralty's report and the numb
er of Americans killed or injured, are
in no way essential matters OF discus
SIGN The culpability OF the command
err is in any case established and the
undisputed fact is that citizens OF the
United States were killed. injured or
put in jeopardy by his lawless act.
THE rules of international law and
the principles OF humanity, which
were thus wiIfully violated by the
commander of the submarine, have
been so long and universally recogniz
ed and are so manifest from the stand
point OF right and Justice that the
government Of the United States does
not understand that the imperial and
royal government questions or dis
putes them.
The government of the United |
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial and |
royal government responsible for the
act OF it's naval commander ami to re.
new the definite but respectful de
mands made n its communication Of
the 9Th OF December, 1915.

Timely Hint Or. over.EatIna

Christmas, New Years and other
feast days cause many disturbed di-
gestions. The stomach and bowels
should not be permitted to remain
clogged up, for indigestion and consti-
patton are often followed by serious
disease, resulting from ITGlgested
poisonous waste matter. Foley Ca
thartic Tablets should be in every
home, ready for use. No gripping; no
unpleasant after effect. Relieve dis.
tress after eating, regulate bowels,
sweeten stomach and tone up the
liver. Sold Everywhere.

RESIDENCE UNDER THE
3-YEAR HOMESTEAn r,ay,

The Department has made = ru
ing of much Importance to nome
stead entrymen who will make
three-year proof. We refer ia thf
decision of First Assistant Secre,ar7
Jones in the Blanche Westhrooi
case, rendered February Is. 1917
(43 l.. d. $500. in which it was
held:
Three-year. Homestead - Actual
Residence - Constructive Resi-
dence.
Proof submitted under the three
year homestead law must show ac-
tual residence upon the land entered
for at least seven months each wear
for three years, and the land depart
ment is without power to extend the
privilege of constructive residence
for absence during the seven months
period.
Residence - Temporary Absence
Visits to Claim.
The requirement that the entry
man shall actually reside upon his
claim for seven months each year
does not. however, preclude short
absences for the purpose of going to
market or other brief absences such
as are ordinarily necessary and in
cident to the conduct of farm.
Leave Of Absence - Unavoidable
Casualties.
In case of unavoidable casualties
rendering absence necessary dur
ing the seven months periods, leaves
of absence may be applied for and
granted under the general provis
-
From the above decision it viii he
seen that under the three-year law
the entryman is expected to be ac-
tually on the land practically every
day during the seven months period
each year. and the laboring man,
who under the old law was permit
ted to spend the greater part OF his
time working away from his claim,
must give up his work for the seven
months during which he is residing
on the land, unless the work is of
such a nature that he can sleep on
the claim or visit it daily The school

No her school for seven months each

themselves by believing that If the

The mouthpiece of the Democratic
party in old Valley county is short

that Senator Clay was elected for a
term of four years two years ago
and has two years yet to serve and
will, most likely, represent the peo-
pie of Valley county in the upper

years before the Democrats of Val

Published every Thursday.

Prof. Alfred Atkinson of the az
ronomy department of the Montana
Experiment station reports a yield
of 1875 bushels of oats per acre on
dry land and 88 buhels of barley
grown under the same conditions
just threshed ON the sub-station
farm near Mocassin, Fergus county.
The oats came from a tract of IL
acres and are of the 60-day variety.
The barley is of the Smyrna variety
raised from seed imported from AS
latic Turkey, and about the same
number of acres of this grain were
raised. Mr. Atkinson says that the
rain fall this season in Fergus coun-
ty was five inches above the average
of 10 inches annually. The seed is
to be tested in the state grain labri-
tory and will be sold to farmers next
spring.

IN DEATH
AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR IN
WHICH NATIONALITY AND AN
TIPATHY GAVE PLACE TO SEN
TIMENTs OF RELIGION IN PRES
ENCE OF DEATH

A reader of the "Croix," who was
wounded during a spirited and sue
cessful attack on the German trench
es, describes a moving incident which
he witnessed as he lay stricken on
the field
''As soon as the first moments of
distress which follow, on all wounds
had passed, l looked in front Of me.
Quite near lay two soldiers mortally
wounded; one German, a Bayarian,
young. and fair-haired, with gaping
wound in his stomach, was lying close
to a young Frenchman, who had been
stricken i'll the side and in the head.
Both were in horrible pain, and their
faces were growing paler and paler.
/ could not move, but | kept my eyes
on them, for | was dreadfully upset
at being unable to aid the Frenchman,
who painfully slipped his hand under
his coat for something hidden away on
his breast. At last he drew forth his
hand and in it a little silver Crucifix,
which he pressed to his lips, saying
feebly, but clearly, Ave Maria, gratia
.plena,' etc. And then as | watched
saw somthing more which moved me
to tears. The German, who had hith-
erto shown no sign of life except a
quick, gasping respiration, opened his
blue eyes, which were already glazing
with approaching death, turned his
head towards the Frenchman and with
look not of hate, but almost of love,
murmurmed also in Latin, 'Sancta
Maria, Mater Del etc. 1t was now
the turn of the Frenchman to cast a
look of surprise on. his neighbor.
Their eyes met and they understood
each other. They were two Christians
who, companions in like misfortune,
wished, after having lived as citizens,
to die as Christians. In a sublime
outburst Of charity the Frenchman
held out his Crucifix to the German,
who kissed it, and taking him by the
hand said, Having served our coun-
tries, let US go to Cod and the Ger
man added, 'Reconciled' Their eyes
closed, shiver ran through their bod
les and they passed away. Amen,
said |, crossing myself. The sun, dis
appearing behind a purple cloud, shed
a great golden beam on the two
bloodstained bodies.
