VIENNA WILL YIELD
Envoy Reports Austrian Attitude
on Ancona Case.
NATION is MORE FRIENDLY
Ambassador Says Government Seeks
Friendly and Satisfactory Settle
ment Of ControVersy-Two
Offers Expected.

Washington, Dec. 2S.--The state de-
| partment has received from Ambas'
sador Penfield at Vienna a report on
the Ancona case. indicating that the
Austrian government is in an amiable
mood and DESTROYS of friendly and
satisfactory settlement of the contro.
versy. .
Mr.. Penfield sent a synopsis of the
expressions of the Austrian press on
the subject. These also indicate a
disposition to come to a friendly un'
derstanding State department officials
say that the report of Ambassador Pen.
field was received some days after he
had delivered the second American
note. ""
Two Concessions Expected.
German and Austrian officials here
and others closely interested in the
outcome of the American demands, say
that Austrias answer will be an in
genious compromise. 1t is stated that
she will make substantially the two
following propositions:
First. Austria will offer guarantees
for the future precisely on the lines
of those given by Ambassador Won
Bernstorff in the Arabic case. These
will provide that vessels will not be
torpedoed without warning and pro-
vision for the safety of all persons on
board.
viii Present New Question.
Second, with such concession Aus
tria will ask that the facts be arbi-
trated so far as they affect Amer,
lean citizens. If the contentious of
the United States are proved then
Austria will pay indemnity as ap.
praised by any form of arbitration"
State department officials say that
the guarantees for the future without
special reference to the past will pre-
sent a new question. 1t will be for
the president and his cabinet to de-
termine whether the guarantees for
the future carry with them a confess
sion and admission of violation of law
in the first instance. There is a de-
cided opinion based on Ambassador
Penfield's report and the suggestions
from other sources that Austria will
struggle to avoid humbling herself, but
at the same time Wal endeavor to pre-,
sent reasonable coHnter propositions.

Woman's Health Requires
Care

Women are so, constituted as
to be peculiarly susceptible to
constipation. and their general
health depends in large measure
on careful regulation and cor
Fection Of this tendency. Their
delicate organisms rebel at the
violence Of cathartic and purga-
tive remedies, which, while they
may afford temporary relief,
shock the system and seriously
disturb the functional organs. A
mild laxative Is far preferable
and, II properly compounded.
much more effective.
The combination Of simple lax
atfve herbs with pepsin sold In
drug stores under the name Of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. is
ideal for women's use. A free
trial bottle can be obtained by
writing to DR.. W. B. Caldwell,
