English Comment.
LONDON, Dec. 13..That portion OF
the London press commenting today on
the American note to Austria, admit
ed that strong language was used,
but inquired why the same tone was
not employed when the United States
addressed Germany on the Lusitania
matter.
'sThe Ancona note would be more
impressive to the outside world had it
been addressed to the power capable
OF injuring the American republic. not
to the latter's ally from whom Amer
lea can have nothing to fear said
the Daily Express.
The Chronicle expressed the same
view but added:
Nevertheless we congratulate the
president on his novel vigor.''

the notorious Welsh Mountain outlaw,
who when leader of band of desper-

years behind bars for various crimes,
chiefly thieving, is wanted again.
He is wanted by Reading and Lam

helped rob a Lancaster county gar

formed one whit. In his early days,
he was content to rob a hen roost;
then he was promoted to a horse
thief; and now he figures in the
theft of automobile tires. Somehow
or other, the more Abe gets the more

After being released from Jail at
Reading about three years ago, Abe
announced that he was going into the
evangelistic business along the same
lines as those used by Billy Sunday.
He had studied the Bible from cover
to cover during his Incarceration. and
was quite able to quote any verse
of Scripture one asked for.
It was during the midst of his
evangelistic efforts in the vicinity of
Reading that Abe lost his religious
poise and sauntered off for a Chester
county chicken roast. In this he had
