AMERICANS REJECT
AUSTRIAN PROTEST
STATE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS
RIGHT OF AMERICANS TO SHIP
AMMUNITION TO ALLIES.
Reasons Based on international Law,
a Feature Of the Answer Being the
Claim That Germany Sold England
Munitions During 6oer War.

Washington.-The state department
on August Is gave out the text of
this governments reply to the pro-
test of Austria Hungary against the
shipment of arms and ammunition to
the allies. The note rejects all Of
Austria's contentious.
The reasons given by the United
States for its position are:
THE principles of international law,
the practice of nations, the national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military and
naval establishments; the prevention
of increased armies and navies, the
adoption Of peaceful methods for the
adjustment Of international difficult
ties and finally neutrality itself"
The reply says that If neutrals were
compelled to prevent sales to bellig-
erents all nations would be obliged to
have 'at all times sufficient munitions
Of war to meet any emergency"
The United States has always de-
pended on the right and power to pur-
chase arms and ammunition from neu-
trail nations in case of foreign attack
in consequence of it's standing policy,
the United States would, says the
note, lin the event of attack by a for
eign power. be at the outset of the war
seriously, If not fatally, embarrassed
by the lack of arms and ammunition
and by the means to produce them in
sufficient quantities to supply the re-
quirements of national defense"
One OF the features of the reply is
the assertion that during the Boer war
Germany sold war supplies to Great
Britain and that Austria Hungary sold
them to the same purchaser, though
in smaller quantities"
The note recites that as Great Brit
ain had established a patrol of the
coasts of adjacent neutral colonies
during that war the situation of the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
was almost identical with that in
which ustria-Hungary and Germany
find themselves at the present time"
The point is made that II Austria
and Germany had refused to sell arms
and ammunition to Great Britain al
that time. Austria might with greater
consistency and greater force urge It's
present contention"
II is stated also that Prussian manu-
facturers sold arms to Russia during
the Crimean war and that Germany
sold arms to the Turkish government

DASH INTO TEXAS
PLAN OF MEXICANS
LANDING OF AMERICAN TROOPS
AT VERA CRUZ WOULD BE
SIGNAL FOR INVASION.
Mexican Troops Being Modified
Along Border, il Is Charged, in Or
der to Make a Dash Into Texas
as Retaliatory Measure.

San Antonio, Texas-A committee
of citizens headed by Representative
John H. Garner ON Friday made re-
port to Governor Ferguson and Ma
jor General Funston, commanding the
southern department, concerning con-
ditions on the Mexican border.
Speaking for the committee Mr..
Garner said:
The constituted Mexican authori-
ties are believed by leading business
men along the border to be prepared,
in the event American troops are
landed at Vera Cruz, to make dash
into Texas, and the large bodies of
Mexicans in northern Mexico available
for immediate use in case orders are
given to attempt to carry out the plan
of San Diego would enable the Mexi
cans to brush aside the troops at pres
ent guarding the border and penetrate
a considerable distance into Texas
Of couse they would be defeated and
driven back, but before sufficient
American troops could be sent into
the border country, the Mexicans
would have destroyed valuable Ameri-
can life and property"

MAN CONVICTED OF MURDER OF
MARY PHAGAN is HANGED
TO A TREE.
Armed Band Of Twenty-Five Men

Miles, Lynch Their Prisoner.

Atlanta, Ga.-Leo M. Frank, con-

Frank was dragged from Milledge-
vile Jail by an armed band of twenty
FIVE men who had previously cut all
wires leading to the prison and then
at the point of pistols and shotguns
had overpowered the warden and his
staff of assistants. He was hurried
across the state 140 miles to within
two miles of Marietta, the home and
burial place of Mary Phagan, victim of
the pencil factory murder for which
Frank was convicted. At daybreak he
was hanged at the end of fifteen feet
of rope in an oak grove.
The body was discovered at $50
Tuesday morning and a mob quickly
gathered. Women and children were
prominent in the throng. While the
body still dangled in the air threats
of cremation on the spot were made
by members of the throng. Cool coun-
sci prevailed and the body was cut
down and brought to Atlanta, though
not escaping vicious kicks from the
boot of maniac In the mob as 1t was
being carried to the undertaker's
wagon. No arrests have yet been
made.
Leo NJ. Franks body was brought to
Atlanta Tuesday afternoon and Sc
Grated in q ha rn until a orourd soorah
ing for 1t threatened serious trouble
1t then was taken from the barn to an
undertaking establishment, where a
steady stream of persons passed to
view it.
The temper of the people seemed
not SO much to wreak vengeance upon
the lifeless form, but personally to
assure themselves that it really was
the body of Frank.

held to be blameless in connection
with the kidnapping of Leo M. Frank

never done him any harm.
Elsie's Interpretation of that we'd
ding invitation is going to set Herman
Schulz back several dollars. or I'm
not foot high.
And maybe they don't have their
troubles at Troolyrooral with the serv-
ant problem.
It's one hard problem that-and no
body seems to get the right answer.
One morning later on Peaches and l
were out on the top porch drinking in
the glorious air and chatting with
Hep Hardy, who had come out to
spend Sunday with US, when Aunt
Martha came busting out, followed by
Uncle Peter, who, in turn, was fol-
lowed by Lizzie Joyce, their latest
cook.
Lizze wore a new lid, trimmed with
prairie grass and field daisies, hang
ing like a shade over the left lamp;
she had a grouchy looking grip in one
hand and a green umbrella with black
freckles in the other
She was made up to catch the first
train that smiled into the station.
Aunt Martha whispered to us plain
lively: Lizzie has been here only
two days, and this makes the seventh
time she has started for town"
But Lizzie took the center Of the
stage and scowled at her audience
I'm takin' the next train for town
mem!" she announced with consider
able bitterness.
Uncle Peter made brave effort to
scowl back at her, but she flashed
her lanterns at him and he fell back
two PAGES to the rear.
What is it this time, Lizzie?" in
| CURED Aunt Martha.
Lizzie put the grouchy grip down
folded her arms, and said: "Oh, have
me grievances!"
Uncle Peter sidled up to Aunt
Martha and said in hoarse whisper:
MY dear, this shows lack of firm
ness on your part. Now leave every
thing to me and let me settle this OBJ
streperous servant once and for ALI
Uncle Peter crossed over and got
in the limelight with Lizzie.
1T occurs to me-" he began in pol
irhed accents, that this is an occa
sion upon which ! should publicly
point out to you the error of YOU
ways, and send you back to your hum
BILE station with better knowledge
of your status in this household"
Scat" said Lizzie, and Uncle Pc
ter began to fish for his next line.

Sure, if you didn't" was Lizzie'l
comeback, I'D land ON you good and

en-, because I'm a nervous woman

Deviled Kidneys got strangle hold
on her green umbrella and ducked for
the grub foundry.
Aunt Martha sighed and went in the
house.

an awful warning to you. No man
should get married these days unless
he's sure his wife can juggle the fry

eight days, and every time new face
comes in the kitchen the Goalscuttle
screams with fright.
You can see where they've worn

treat to the depot.

to cook backward
I'VE believed her after the first
meal, because that's how she cooked.
Phyllis was very inventive girl.
She could cook anything on earth
or in the waters underneath the
earth. and she proved it by trying to
mix tenpenny nails with the baked
BEANS
When Phyllis found there was no

washtub into sawdust and sprinkled it

WHEN Peaches and get tired Of the
W Big Town-tired of its noises and
hullabaloo; tired of being tagged by
taxis as we cross a street; tired Of
Watching grocers and butchers hoist
Ing higher the highest cost Of living
that's our cue to grab a choo-choo and
breeze out to Uncle Peter Grants
farm and bungalow In the wilds of
Westchester. which he calls Trooly
rooral
just to even matters up, Uncle Pc
ter and his wife visit us from time to
time in our amateur apartment in the
Big Town.
Uncle Peter is a very stout old gen.
tleman. When he squeezes into our
little fat the walls act as If they were
bowlegged.
Uncle Peter always goes through
the folding doors sideways, and every
time he sits down the man In the
apartment below US kicks because we
move the piano so often.
Aunt Martha is Uncle Peters wife
and she weighs more and breathes
oftener.
When the two of them visit our bird
cage at the same time the janitor has
to go out and stand in front Of the
building with a view to catching 1t
II 1t falls.
When we reached Troolyrooral we
found that Cousin Elsie" Schulz was
also visitor there
Cousin Elsie" is sort of privileged
character in the family, having lived
with Aunt Maria for over twenty years
as a sort of housekeeper
They call her Cousin Elsie" Just I'd
make it more difficult.
Three or four years ago Elsie mar
ried Gustaye Bierbauer and quit her
Job.
Cousin Elsie" believes that con-
versation was invented for her exclu-
sive use. and the way she can grab
a bundle of the English language and
break 1t up is a caution.
Language is the same to Elsie as d
siphon Is to a highball-and that's a
whole lot
Two years after their marriage old
Gustave stopped living so abruptly
that. the coroner had to sit on him.
The post norton found out that
Gustave had died from a rush Of
words to his brainpan.
The coroner also found, upon fur.
Their examination. that all of these
words had formerly belonged to Elsie,
with the exception Of a few which
we're once the property of Gustaves
favorite bartender.
After Gustave's exit, Aunt Maria
tried to get Elsie back on her sob. but
the old Dutch had her eye on Fer.
