GIRL WHO WROTE POISON PEN
LETTERS HAD A LOVE SORROW
Member of Rich Goshen, N. Y, Fam
lily Annoyed Newlyweds

NEW YORK, Dec. 17-By arresting
Miss Theresa Samuels. of a wealthy
family of Goshen. n Y, at hes home
yesterday, Postal Inspectors Duryea and
Fitch Jay they captured the writer OF the
poison PEN letters that in the last year
have been sent to newly married or be-
trothed young women, some of them of
great social prominence In New YORK
city,
The letters contained shocking charg
against the young husbands or hanCes.
Inspectors Duryea and Fitch said at
Mlddletown, n. Y, where they went from
Goshen after Miss Samuels had been ad-
mitted to $1,000 bail given by her brother
Slgmond Samuels. that she had con-
fessel the authorship of the ''poson PEN
communications.
"Were you acquainted with any Of the
persons to whom you wrote letters she
was asked. Had you any grudgc against
any of them?'
NO" 1t is said Miss Samuels answered.
"I just picked the names at random out
of newspapers-names that appeared in
the accounts of weddings or engage
ments."
Have you ever had any love affair.""
Yes" the inspectors report she an
swered. two years ago"
When asked If this love affair had
preyed upon her mind and caused her
to write such scandalous letters, she
replied:
perhaps it did"

today for arragnment before Federal
Commissioner Houghton Owing to the
nature of the letters written by her it is
expected she will be examined as to her
sanity before she is placed on trial.

AUSTRIA WILL CONCEDE
POINTS IN NEXT NOTE
BERLIN, Dec. /.

BERLIN, Dec. IT,
Berlin does not expect any diplomatic
break between Austria and the United
States as a result OF Austria's failure to
comply promptly with American demands
in her reply 10 rhe Ancona note.
Austria is willing to make important
concessions to prevent such break, ac-
eording TO information received here. An
other exchange of notes probably will
clear the whole situation.
The position taken by the Austrian
Foreign Office in it's reply NOT only Is
heartily approved here. but ia exactly the
attitude Austria was expected to take
il was pointed out by officials today that
TO have complied meekly with the Amer
lean demands at once would have cost
Austria much in prestige and would have
brought down popular denunciation upon
the Austrian Government.
Austria, having maintained her posi-
tion in a dignihed manner in her reply,
can now gracefully yield to America in
a subsequent note" said one German off,
ciaI ITO have bowed down TO Washing
ton in the reply II has just delivered
would have raised a storm of protest
in Austria. There is every reason for
believing that the Austro-American con-
troversy win be solved Just as the trou-
BILE over the Lusitania was settled"
The Vienna press, apparently at the
suggestion of the Government, is re-
framing from sounding defiance In edl-
torials on the Ancona affair. Some of the
newspapers declare tnat Austria has no
desire for any but friendly relations with
America, and assert that Austria is will
ing TO accept the American viewpoint II
Washington can submit the proper
proofs.
TheEe comments are taken as further
indication that the Austrian Government
does not intend TO force break.

ing to a report from British headquarters.
Considerable artillery activity and
much activity on the part of aviators on
both sides are noted in the official state

of particularly heavy firing. French
trench mortars blew up a German ammu-

the German official report of the loss

by the press bureau:

Lacks Confirma-
ton.

Washington, D. c.. June 2s.-Stata
department advices today contained
nothing bearing on the reported occu-
patton of Mexico City by Carranza
troops, but announced General Car
ranza's guarantee of protection for
non.ombatants in case OF fighting
there. The department summarized Its
advices in this statement:
THE department is in receipt Of ad-
vices from Vera cruz to the effect that
General Carranza has given assurances
tina in the event of fighting in the
City of Mexico, the interests of non
c~ombatants. whether natives or for
eigners, will be looked after.
The department is in receipt OF no
definite report concerning the opera
tons of General CarranZa's forces out
side of Mexico City, but 1t would APP
pear from the meager reports received
that General Zapata is preparing to
offer resistance with his artillery
forces"
The opposing forces were reported
in an artillery duel yesterday In which
the Carranza advance was checked.
Consul Silliman reported TO the state
department today in a telegram dated
Vera Cruz at Z o'clock yesterday eve
ming. that interruption of communl-
| cation with Mexico City was due no
so much to actual military operations,
as to the fact that the Zapata forces
! have destroyed the line.
