INITIATES THAT NOTE
 IS FINAL WORD OF U. S.
Reply Expected Within Ten Days. Communication Gives Little Heed to Details, But Is Primarily Con-
 cerned With Neutral Principles

Washington, December 1s-The new American note to Austria Hungary re- garding the sinking of the Italian ship Ancona is understood to have been cabled tonight to Ambassador Penfield for presentation to the Vienna foreign of flee.
 Secretary Lansing and other officials of the state department declined to divulge any information concerning the commu- nication. From other reliable sources. however. came a strong intimation that the final draft of the note had been completed by Secretary Lansing during the day, and had been put in code and started on it's way over the cables.
 veil of secrecy has surrounded the communication ever since a White House messenger carried a preliminary draft from President Wilson to Secretary Lansing last night. However it is known that the Secretary spent considerable time last night and today at work de- veloping the ideas the President had out lined As completed, the note is believed to have been considerably more lengthy than the first
 Unless there are unforeseen develop nerts the note should be delivered in Vienna by Wednesday night It will be made public when Secretary Lansing Is Hungarian foreign office prompt re- ply is requested. and officials are of the opinion that one will come within 10 daV

DEMANDS REITERATED

Certain portions of the text of the new ncte were said tonight to be nearly identical with portions of the first. The demands of the United States, which are reiterated. are for disayowal punishment of the submarine commander, and repa- ration by the payment of indemnity for the Americans killed and injured
 Austria -Hungary's rejonder to the first note contained an implied request for details regarding the American citi- zens who were killed or injured. The state department, it is said. has been un- able to secure all of these names and even though it has some of them they probably have not been furnished to the Austro-H Hungarian government, The United States is represented as being determined not to enter into any discus sion of such details; this government being primarily concerned with the prin- ciples and the violations of law and neu- tral rights involved.
 The note, it is understood, will broadly intimate that the final word of the United States has been spoken. Upon the attitude of the Vienna foreign of- flee depends the continuance of good re- ations between the two governments,

prepared by the United states depart

One reason for Americans inditfer
ent success in animal breeding has
been the lack of neighborhood organi.
cation. Where Il whole community Is
interested in the same breed of live
stock. where practically every farm Is
II breeding station. there is first
wider basis of selection than where
only one farm is given over to that
breed. A wider basis OF selection
makes possible more scientific mating
than is possible where there are only
few breeding animals from which to
select. In the second place, neigh
borhood enterprise Of this kind gives
greater permanency and continuity
than are possible where only Il few in
dividual farmers are Interested.

the rule that by the time successful

close his sons have moved to town and
his animals are scattered.
These animals may after they are
scattered do something toward improv

of the community. but this Is by no
means certain. There are many chances
that they will he crossed with other

If. on the other hand. the whole com
munity In which such q breeder lived
were engaged in developing the same
breed instead of Il large number Of diff.
ferent breeds. his animals would prob,
ably remain in the same neighborhood
and be crossed with others of the same
breed. When this happens the work Of
the individual breeder is not lost, but
is enabled to count in the improvement
of the stock Of the country.
Under our present highly individual
stic methods the farmer who enters
upon breeding enterprise frequently
if not generally. makes the initial mis-
take Of selecting some breed which IL
new TO his community in order that he
may have something different from
anything possessed by his neighbors
1t is safe to say that neighborhood

manner will never become distinguish

of its field crops.

stability OF the average American farm
