A deeper mystery than ever today
surround the deaths together in a

old son of Charles II. Ault, of 23S
Meeker avenue, this city, and his
nineteen year-old wife. The couple
We're found shot after a telephone
call from Miss Elsie Marie Murray, of
Syracuse, the bridesmaid at their
wedding ON August 20 last, informed
the hotel authorities she feared a
tragedy because of a letter she had
received that afternoon.
From Syracuse today comes a. story
from Mrs. Bertha Tichner, mother of
Mrs. Ault, to the effect that her
daughter did not willingly consent to
the suicide pact. Her story is founded.
she says, on the contents of a letter
written, by her daughter before the
latter's death, and which the mother
received since she returned home
with the body yesterday morning,
though she will not divulge its con-
tents. She asserts that young Ault
forced his wife to agree to the pact
of double killing.

H|BBEN SOUNDS
CALL TO ARMS
AT CONFERENCE
Princeton President, Taking Is
sue With Pacificists, Stirs
Lake Mohonk Meeting.

MOHONK,- LAKE, N. Y, May 49,
DR.. John Grier Hibben, president OF
Princeton University. stirred the Lake
Mohonk Conference on international
Arbitration today by taking issue
with pacificists who favor disarma-
ment and by advancing "a wise pre-
paredness of our military forces in the
United States
'I do not advocate preparedness for
war;" he said, but a preparedness
against war-a preparedness which
in the event of the catastrophe of
war itself will prevent the enormous
initial sacrifice of human lives which
has characterized every war in which
the United States have been engaged
Throughout our past history.
No one can be so blind regarding
the Significance of present conditions,
as to take the position that grave
national emergency lis not at least q
possibility. !,
II am not in sympathy with the
peace propaganda, which is being
prosecuted in many of our schools,
so far, at least, as 1t endeavors to
quicken the peace sentiment by inn
pressing upon the minds of the young
children the horrors or the economical
losses of war"
Obstacles to Progress of Peace.
without naming any of the bellig-
erents, Dr. Hibben asserted that one
fallacy tending to obstruct the
progress of peace was that "this
present terrible war has developed
certain practices and usages which
will revolutionize the accepted re-
io3i nf int 1nx
that hereafter all immemorable OBJ
legations of nation to nation in
state of war will be swept away.
This is not question of mere
academic interest which we are dis
cussing.' he concluded. I'VE as

is dark and mysterious. In the high
tension of hate and international
suspicion the most insignificant ac-
cident may Aprecipitate a national
catastrophe And the great emer-
gency, If it should come, what will we

which can buy peaee--restraint of
passion. long sufferance; sacrifice of
material wealth or of every personal
convenience and comfort Let us
sacrifice it all-everything which can
buy peace. But let us not forget
that there are some things which
cannot buy peace. II we sacrifice
them in order to secure peace, the
peace thus sought becomes for us
the veriest torment of living hell.
We dare not trade honor for peace;
we dare not betray duty in order that
we may bargain for peace. We dare
not indulge ourselves in the enjoy
ment of the blessings of peace while
we turn deaf ears to the cry of dis
tress or to the summons of right
eous cause"
Appeal stirs Conference.
Never in the twenty-one years of
It's existence had the Lake Mohonk
conference heard such a call to arms.
The Princeton presidents appeal
aroused intense interest and discus
sion among more than 200 delegates
here from all parts of the country.

NEW AUSTRIAN OFFER
TO ITALY REPORTED

Rumanian minister, is the only for
eign diplomat who has had long daily
interviews with Foreign Minister
Sonnino during the past fortnight
Italy's Green Book.
The Green Book" containing Dip
lomatic documents designed to show
the attitude of Italy since the begin
ming of the war, and the efforts made
to reconcile the obligations of the
triple alliance with Italian national
aspirations, was set up in one
night by the typesetters employed by
the Chamber of Deputies. Every
precaution was taken to prevent the
printers from communicating with
persons outside their office, and they
were reminded that any betrayal of
the secrets contained in the Green
Book would make them punishable
by several years Imprisonment
under the law recently enacted for
the defense of the state.
The "Green Book is said to show
that If Italy fights it will be be-
cause of necessity, and that during
the negotiations with Austria the
representatives of the dual monarchy
apparently had failed to realize that
Italy was firmly determined to enter
the war If she was unable to obtain
satisfactory territorial concessions
by diplomatic action.

VIENNA, via London. May 19.--
According to the prevalent impress
sion here no definite indications re-
garding the decision reached by the
Italian cabinet as to Italy's future
course have been received by the
Austro- Hungarian government.
The Salandra ministry decided in
favor of peaceful settlement instead
of war under all circumstances, but
this hope Is believed to be too slight
to justify any optimism.
The Hungarian government
has gone so far in the way of terri
torial concessions that peaceful set
tlement seems, even to outsiders, to
be quite possible if Italy is so minded,
but the question at issue appears to
be not so much whether a basis for
the satisfaction of italian territorial
aspirations can be found as whether
the italian gov tnment already has
determined snter the war on the
side of the "a les against Austria
