ROME D|CKERS
 WITH AUSTRIA
Still Trying To Get What She Wants Without Fighting For 1t, But
 Chances Are Poor.

ROME, May 1.-The government has reopened the negotiations be- tween Austria and Italy in the hope of making a peaceful settlement of the disputes between the two powers. The demand for the Austrian prov. inces has, been renewed. It is un- derstood. however, that Austria is willing to secede the provinces at the end of the present war, but will un, der. no condition. make the transfer at, this time. The Italian government must guarantee strict neutrality for the balance of the conflict and the right of Austrian and German govern ments to purchase supplies in Italy is not to be interfered with by the government, as has been the case for the past months.
 In exchange the German govern iment will agree to allow the ship ment of 100000 tons of coal each month to Italy, where the coal is badly needed in order that the in. dustries of Italy may be continued.
 It is feared that if the demands of the German-Austrian governments is granted that England will shut off the coal supply now coming from that country and will also prevent sup plies reaching Italy, fearing that they will be allowed to cross the from tier and thus help the Germans. It is hardly expected that peaceful set, clement can be made.

ENGLAND PASSES
 NEW LIQUOR JAW Taxes On Wines Quadrupled, and on Other Liquors Tax Doubled-Mili-
 tary Officers Control Sale.

LONDON, May 1-The House of Parliament today passed the Lloyd George liquor bill, which places the sale of all liquors in the districts in which war munitions are being man. ufactured, under the direct superivis- ion of the central government. The tax on wines has been quadrupled and the tax on other liquors has been doubled so that those who consume liquor will be given considerable of the cost of the liquor to the govern 1nent for the war fund.
 The result is expected to curtail the sale of liquor in all parts of the United Kingdom. while at the same time in the districts where the war munition supply factories are located the sale will be directly under the control of the military authorities and the men will not be allowed to be- come intoxicated and thus remain away from work in the factories. where they are badly needed.

PARIS, May 1.-The big German battleship fleet, late yesterday after noon, appeared off the coast of north ern France and bombarded the town of Dunkirk, destroying many build- ings, but killing only fifty residents of the town, which has been almost deserted since the fighting of last week and with the German lines on- ly few hundred yards from the city.
 German Fleet Active.
 The activity of the kaiser's fleet has caused much surprise here. The failure of the British to protect the coast of France has caused some un- easiness here. The Germans are re- ported to have sent the old class bat4 tleships close to shore while the big ships stood out in the British Chan mel watching the British fleet.
 Bombardment Was Severe.
 The bombardment by> the German warships was terrific. The big guns soon played havoc with the buildings in the town The structures were blown to pieces by the naval guns.

 PETROGRAD, May 1.-An imper- ial order promulgated today calls up throughout the empire for training all those who were liable to serve but were entered at once into the reserve in the years 1900 to the present year, both inclusive A similar summons to the colors has appeared twice be- fore, but was confined to certain prov. inces As Russia annually takes in- to the army a lesser proportion of the total of men attaining service age it is obvious that the present meas ure enables her almost to double her present forces. Moreover, the old est men summoned by this order are only 35 years of age and the young est 20. They include rejected men of the first class only; that is. per fectly fit men over and above the numbers annually required to keep the army at it's full complement, and certain classes exempted for family reasons. They are all men without any military training and will get this before being drafted into the army.

 The spy craze is worse today than at any time since the opening days of the war.

cut into long slender pieces not much
larger than matchsticks. Brown a ia

in saucepan, add an onion. scraped
or finely chopped, then toss the carrot
strips in the simmering butter until
brown; season with pepper and salt
and at the last moment thin with
tablespoonful of vinegar and add a
teaspoonful of chopped parsley
When served plain in this form. or on
hot creamed toast, the dish is known as
carrots 1yonnaise. For the carrot salad
the same plan may be- followed IN
browning and seasoning; or the plain
boiled and diced carrots may be simply
tossed in spiced vinegar and served on
lettuce leaves with mayonnaiSe dress
ing.
There are various relishes that may
be served under the name of creamed
carrots. Whether served in white
cream sauce or in a Drowned butter
sauce, the mistake most frequently
made is found in the first preparation
of the cream 1t Is natural to use the
highly favored water in which the car
rots are boiled for the sauce, but it is
much better to throw this away. Deli
cate favoring is the secret of success.
When the carrots are tender, drain
from the water, dice and prepare the
sauce by the usual milk -and-thicken-

pepper and salt and serve on hot toast,
or as a relish with the breakfast bacon.
Still another form of cream carrots
