STOPS Ar Both MILESTONE

MASSILLON, O., Dec. 10.-Ohio's
oldest policeman, Michael Elsass,
So. quit his job today and thus
ended twenty-one years active
service. He quit because he wants

veteran preserver of the Law and
order in good physical condition.
Elsass claims he has walked $3.50
miles since his cath birthday. He
thinks that is pretty good record
for a man who started at not far
short of the three score mark. Mem
tally, Elsass is alert as man of 40.
He is a veteran and draws pension
He says he would like to keep on
working. but that he hasn't life
time before him any more and wants
Ia be with his wife as much as pos
sible. His son, II. w. Elsass, is

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS MAY
BE SEVERED ~ AUSTRIA
DOES NOT ACCEDE.
CONSUL MUST GO
Evidence Has been Accumulated
Against Consul General Won Nu-
her on New York Is the
Claim Made.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.--The
American note to Austria on the
sinking of the Ancona was practic-
ally an ultimatum. il was learned
on high authority today. 1t was
authoritatiyely stated that this
country has placed itself in posi-
ton to sever diplomatic relations
with Austria If that government
does not accede TO the American
demands.
President Wilson. it is under
stood, also has decided that Aus
trian Consul General Won Nuber at
New York must go. 1t was stated
that evidence against this official
has been accommodating for some
time. but as in the case of Capt.
Won Pepen action WIS postponed, it
is understood for reasons best
known to the administration.
The demands in the note to Aus
tria are very strong and an imme-
utdlt Itpts ~ itduiCt W Etrt tHSii
exact nature is could not be learn
ed. 1t is understood that one fea-
ture of the note declares that the
captain of the submarine which sank
the Ancona must be held to strict
accountability. 1t had been beiiev-
ed by the government that because
of Austria's close relations to Ger
many it would not be necessary to
handle the Ancona case as was the
case with Germany.
No more delay, such as has been
negotiated over the Lusitania dis
aster, will be tolerated
According to state department
officials the Ancona note will not
only state every demand in the
Lusitania document, but will pro-
coed to demand punishment for the
submarine commander. Austria
will be asked TO award reparation
of damages, give assurances of fu-
ture conduct, disavow the sinking
of the Ancona and punish the sub
marine commander.
The circumstances OF the Anco-
mas sinking, state department Of
ficials explained, indicate not only
that little attention was paid to
the safety OF the passengers who
were taken off and placed in open
boats, but that there was much
Smelling of the Ancona that was I'M
necessary and exceeded the de-
mands of the situation.

That the firemen of the country are

shown at the opening of the conven-

talked on fire prevention and general
discussions were along the same lines.
Chief w. H. Murphy of Philadelphia
upheld automatic sprinklers as one of
the greatest devices ever invented, but
held that they will not prevent a con-

Chief John kenlon of New York de-
clared that sprinklers act as both

President Wilson Growing
in Esteem of German Press
as Result of Arabic Affair

| BERLIN September !. via London,
11:on a. m-The National Zeitung
publishes today leading article under
the heading, Wilson, Bryan and Roose-
yelt' which is noteworthy for its
| friendly tone and for the ungrudgins
| admiration expressed for President
Wilson.
The article begins by saying that
discussion of the Arabic affair have
been in quieter tone since Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador al
Washington, presented his request to
the american government to delay
action until Germany had the oppor-
tunity of presenting its side OF the
case. Even the anti-German new
papcrs admitted the justice OF thiS
request the article says. and there
now remains no obstacle TO irienolN
discussions of differences which. white
real. are by no means of such nature
to prevent a satisfactory compromise.
President in New Light.
The personality of President Wilson
has been Illuminated more strongly than
ever before, the National Zeitung says.
during the exciting days through which
America has just passed. The President
will appear TO many in new light.
Never was his position more difficult
than during the Arabic crisis. when
Mr. Bryan was calling on Americans for
peace at any price and Col Roosevelt
was summoning them to war against
Germany.
President Wilson is pictured in the ar
ticle as standing between the two rivals,
whose activities threatened 10 bring
about such situation that the Presi-
dent might make his attitude toward
Germany dependent upon domestic polit-
zeal considerations.
That President Wilson withstood ms
tanrtatiou and NAV be counted on to
withstand it further, must be acknoWl-
edged the newspaper says. notWith-
standing the fact that the German people
certainly have reason to he dissatisfied
with his attitude in the matter of sub
marine warfare.
