And Denies That Blame for the
Ancona Disaster Should At
tach to Commander.
ALSO DENIES ITS BLAME
Official Text Does Not Minimize
Realization of Gravity of
the Situation.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 18-The Of
fetal text of Austroa's reply to the
American note on the Ancona made
public here today reveals that the
Vienna government denies that the
views presented by the United States
even. II correct, warrant the blame
for thed isaater, being placed upon the
commander Of the submarine.
The reply denies also that blame
can be placed upon the Austro-Hun-
garian government even II "a most
rigorous legal construction were ap.
Piled to the Judgment OF the case. y
The note also states that the Aus
tro- Hungarian government Ia unable
to determine what the United States
intended to indicate when It men
toned the attitude which Germany
had assumed toward submarine war
fare. 1t adds that II the United
States intended ito express an opln-
ion to the effect that a prejudice Of
whatever nature existed" with re-
spect to judicial consideration" OF
the affair, the vienna government
declares tnat It reserves to itself
full freedom of maintaining its own
legal view"
Except for slight variations in the
transmission the remainder Of the Of
fetal text virtually is identical with
the unofficial version cabled from
London.
1t was agreed seemingly in official
quarters that the official text did not
minimize realization of the gravity
of the situation which was impressed
on officials by the unofficial cables.
but 1t also was apparent that the door
to future negotiations was not closed.
While the state department was
making the note public President
Wilson was at work in MS study on
the outline Of a reply which will go
forward some time next week.
The state department also made
public an official text OF the Austrian
admiralty statement previously pub.
lished which admitted that the sub
marine fred on the Ancona after the
ship had come to stop and while
passengers still were aboard. 1t was
upon this official admission of the
Austrian admiralty itself that the
principal portion Of the American
note was based. II

WASHINGTON, July 30-In
their drive through Southern Rus
sian Poland. the Germans recently
swept over the city of Radon, CAPT
tai of the government of Radon and
the last important city in the south
between their legions and the metro
polls, Warsaw. A description of this
city was given out today by the Ma
tional Geographic Society at Wash
ington:
Radon was one of the numerous
thriving Industrial towns of Rus
sian Poland which have sprung into
being during the last score of years
with the perculation of western
capital and western manufacturing
technique into the Slav commune
ties nearest to Western Europe.
Cheap and abundant labor has at
tracted many enterprises across the
Russian borders, and convenience to
the larger markets and the vast
stores of raw materials have held
most of these enterprises In Rus
sian Poland and in the Baltic Pro
yinces. Radon was one Of the pros
porous progressive Slav towns
brought forth by this western in
vasion of industry.

FUTURE INCOME
OF THE FORESTS

there is a considerable area OF ma
tional forest land so located that the
forest resources can not now pc
marketed, although later they Will
yield large revenue. 1t would
fully meet the local difficulties arts-
ing from the fact that the national
forests are not subject to taxation,
would aid in the protection and de-
yelopment OF the forest resources,
and would remove the one barrier
which in a few places prevents far
mers from Immediately enjoying
the benefits of the national forests.
Millions of acres of farm land are
today undeveloped because of lack
of good roads. In opening any new
country road building constitutes
hard problem for the settlers. AZ
first, while the settler is struggling
to erect his home and farm build
inss and to clear his land, he usu-
ally cannot afford to pay high taxes
or otherwise contribute toward the
expense of road building. The ma
tional forests comprise the remotest
and least settled regions OF the
country. In many cases farming In
these localities is still pioneering,
under as difficult conditions as have
ever existed in the United States.
One of the principal reasons for the
failure to develop the large areas of
excellent agricultural land which lie
near the forests is the lack of roads.
The government is trying to meet
this problem in two ways. first, by
public Improvements being made on
the national forests. and second, by
the direct contribution to the coun-
ties of share in the forest receipts.
Up to date the forest service has con-
structed on the forests more than
$500 miles of roads, $1,000 miles
of trails, nearly 500 bridges. and
$4,000 miles of telephone lines.
Every one of these improvements
benefits settlers and ranchers. In
addition, there is appropriated an
nually for the use of the counties in
which the national forests lie rs per
cent of the gross receipts from tim
Der sales and other sources, to be
used for road and school purposes.
Some of the individual forests are
bringing in over 100000 year.
and the business of the entire ma
tional forest system is increasing so
that this direct contribution to
community upbuilding is rapidly
growing In fact, already a total of
nearly 100000 is obtained from the
forests every year for county road
and school purposes.

Polish City IS Built

warsaw lies about sixty milal
almost due north of Radon. while
the only railway running through

proaches by way OF the fortress Ivan

way more than 100 miles. Radon
is situated on the Mleczna, in q
sweep of country which breaks into

It is one of the best, most solidly
built towns of Poland. and. unlike
LODI, it has taken the trouble to
reflect the growing wealth of Its
business in a neat. well-planned

The industry of Radon has been
hampered by insufficient means Tor

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Merton Joslyn, who has been liv-
ing on the Barr and Hoag farm a
half mile west of Oneida for eight
years, is making marked success
as farmer. During the past four
months he has sold stock to the val
ue OF over $4,000. He sold four head
of Belgium horses, four years old,
for $3.50, eleven head of Black Poll
ed cattle for $500 and twenty head
of hogs for $3.50. Besides these sales
Mr.. and Mrs. Joslyn sell several hun
dred dollars worth of poultry. His
dairy herd brings him in the neat
sum of about $120 month. He still
has about 120 head of hogs which
will be ready for the market in
short time. Mr.. Joslyn raises all the
feed on the farm, and operates the
320 acres with the assistance of one
man. He firmly believes that there
is no place like good Iowa farm
for man to make money.
