TeUtOns Aroused
Against America

New York, Dec. 14.-Throuehout
Austria and Germany the people are
aroused to anger by President vii
sons note on the Ancona affair. 1t
had been considered probable chat if
Austria intended to comply with the
demands she would prevent the note
being made public, and the fact that
1t mas been widely published is taken
as an indication that Austria will not
accede to the demand

considered whethe. Germany will also
sever diplomatic relations if Austria
does, and the best judgment seems to
be that this will come at a later day
if not at once.
Germany, however, is believed to be
eXcrting her Influence to preven,
Austria breakin~ with the United
States, and may yet succeed in this.

 made statement regarding the efforts of his friends to have him reinstated. The

 men of that section Mir Armstrong writes:
 T am informed that a number of my friends have started a movement to have delegation call on the city commis- sioners with a view to having me re-
 tained on the police force. While great ly appreciate the efforts of my friends, wish to inform them that I doubt the
 wisdom of such action. No one knows me or my official record better than the commissioners and I do not think 1t best to take up their time in this way. They
 are business men and will no doubt, do
 what they think best, regardless of what
 or my friends may think or say. Re- spectfully e. w. ARMSTRONG"
