crossed in Eugenics. Tell him that
Europe needs babies. Let the war
dogs chase their own tails until the
peace dove sheds some of its court
plaster. Then cautiously look about
and see what you can do to fix things
up.
Remember that styles, suffrage,
the tariff and sample mustaches you
have always with you. Do. the best
you can with all these things and re-
member that however powerful and
able you feel in this your youth, on
the 365th day of your reign you will be
weary and old and worn. Your robes,
once white, will be draggled and torn
and stained, as flapping rags about
your withered legs. Your hand pal
sled, your step halt, your eyes dim,
you will die; and the world will go on.
So take it easy, and don't get excited.
If you sigh for Place in the Sun, let
it be on a park bench on a summer

judgment and you may accomplish
more than you expect.
Forever affectionately yours,

ARRESTED
FOR TRIPLE
M u RIDER

By United Press.
TEXARKANA, Dec. S1.-Dispatches
received here today brought news of
one of the most brutal tragedies in the
history of this section.
T. j. Mayfieid, aged 20, his wife,
aged 65. and his son, aged 40, were
founded dead in their home near New
Boston this morning.
Another son, Lee Mayfield, aged 40
was arrested on a charge of having
murdered the three. The trio were
murdered some time last night, their
heads apparently having been bat
tered with an axe.
Lee Mayfield notified neighbors
shortly after midnight. He said he
had found the bodies when he re-
turned from a lodge meeting in New
Boston.

Danger Of Break in Diplomatic Re-
lations Between United States
and Austria Over Ancona
is Now Past
OFFICIAL TEXT OF
NOTE COMING TODAY
All Requirements Of Washington
Substantially Met and Only
Minor Details Remain
for Settlement
By United Press.

BY United Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 91.-Austris
has substantially" complied with the
demands made by the United States
regarding the Ancona case and the
danger of a severance in the diplo
matte relations of the two countries is
past.
This is the official view expressed
in Washington and it is believed that
it lacks only the approval of the pres
ident after he reads the Austrian re-
ply to the last note sent by the United
States government
Further negotiations and exchanges
of notes are probable, but these nego-
tiations will involve only minor
points regarding reparation for lives
Of Americans lost.
A wave of relief swept the state de-
partment following the publication OF
the unofficial text of the Austrian
note. The official text of the docu-
ment is on the cables and it is be-
lieved that the entire note will be IN
the hands of Secretary Lansing by
night.
The three demands made by the
United States were disavowal of the
sinking of the Ancona while passen-
gers were on board, the punishment Of
the submarine commander and repa-
ration for the American lives that
were lost. Officials say that in effect
Austria has granted all of these de-
mands.
The nature of the Austrian note was
accurately forecast by the Berlin bu-
reau of the United Press last Tuesday

Forty More Men Go to Work in
Locomotive Department Monday;
Repair Crew Also Augmented;
Runs Remain Unchanged
CHANGES FAIL TO
AFFECT CHICkASHA
Addition to Payroll Will Amount to
from $4,000 to $45OO Per
Month; Business Of Roads
Shows Gain

Monday morning, January 8, forty
men will be added to the locomotive
department of the Rock Island shops
at Chickasha. This number added to
the number put on during the past
fall will bring the shop force at this
point up to its normal standard.
In addition to the forty added to
the locomotive department a number
will also be put on in the car repairing
department.
The addition TO the locomotive de-
partments at the shops will increase
the daily payroll of the Rock Island in
Chickasha from $1O0 to $3.50, or from
$4,000 to $4,500 per month over that
already in effect.
The recent changes affecting Ell
Reno will in no manner affect Chick
asha The same number of crews will
work out of here as formerly and the
main line runs will remain unchanged.
The engines in the passenger service
will be put into longer mileage serv-
ice, but the engineers will change
here as heretofore.
The work of repairing the shops
here will begin at once. The locomo-
tive shops will be re-roofed and pos
sibly enlarged. The contract for do
ing this work has already been
awarded and the needed construction
will begin at once.
Railway conditions in Chickasha
are reported good The freight busi-
ness will show healthy increase with
the close of the year 1915 over the
business done during the year 1914.
Possibly the Rock Island has enjoyed
the heaviest share Of the public's pat
ronage, but the books of the Santa
Fe and the Frisco roads will also show
a big increase in business from and
into and through Chickasha.
1t is possible that more trains may
be added to the Rock Island service
out of Chickasha within the next
thirty days, but up to the present this
remains rumor without authoritative
confirmation.

if Germany shows a Willingness tc
evacuate Belgium. 1t is said here that
the Allies will declare that Germany
is defeated or she would never give up
Belgium. Many Germans want to
keep Belgium because they think it
will be the best evidence that Ger
many has won the war.
Many things are interpreted as evil
dence that Germany intends or does
not intend to keep Belgium. One is
that Germany never would have spent
the millions vi marks for bridges, new
railroads, public buildings and other
improvements, if she wasn't going to
keep Belgium. A large government
printing establishment has been
erected in Brussels. A wealthy Ger.
man count, reported to be a friend of
the Kaiser's, has erected a large
newspaper office there.
On the other hand it is declared
Germany could not keep Belgium with
out giving the people representation
in the Reichstag and one official said
that would be impossible because Eve
could never have so many French
speaking members OF our parliament"
Alsace and Lorraine are not consid-
cred similar. Less than one-seventh
Of that territory is inhabited by people |
Of French origin. In Belgium there
ire practically no Germans.
The whole of Germany therefore,
ooks to the Kaiser to decide what |
iermany's final position shall be with |
'egard to Belgium. The constitution
provides that the Kaiser shall make |
he terms Of peace. When the Kaiser
loes decide his lead will be followed. |
