INDIA CONSUMES GOLD;

India is a gold mine, and the gold

round the necks Of women, clasps
their ankles and wrists, is hung in
their ears or wound in their hair. Also
it is buried under the eartheQ floors
of huts and is sat on by Hindoos.
Moreover it is stored in the vaults of
rajahs, mararajahs. beguGaes, in tenn
Diies and shrines.

| note from the report of your plan
IHut you wish to encourage the un-
employed city laborer to go to the
country to secure a home, and en-
cage in farming. Just a thought or
TWO here. Apart from immigration
what has caused the surplus of labor
CTS in NE cities? Is it not because
so many farmers and their families
lave lost their homes in the country
~trcause of excessive interest and
transportation charges, and are fore
I'd to go to the cities to seek employ
HHent.
by making IL pOSSlDle lOl IuOSG
farmers and their families to remain
IN the farm, you relieve the pressure
Tor employment in the city.
But why discriminate in favor Of
The farmer? That is class legislation
Why not extend the same encourage
ment to the urban citizens to secure
Eomes in the cities? Our ideal should
be a nation of home owners.
With that as a base We are impreg-
able in our position.
Can you reasonably expect that the
least efficient day laborer of the city,
~ ithout money or knowledge of ag-
riCulture, can succeed better at farm
than the boys raised on the farm,
but who, discouraged, have left for
the oyercrowded cities. l haze in

of the California Glass

Limit Is Reached in Size.

Washington.-Supe Of
the California class, displacing $4,000
tons, are declared to represent the
can battleships, in statement pre-
sented to Congress by Secretary
Daniels outlining the lessons Of the
European war as to the best type of
ship for war.
1T would be unwise," the state
ment says, "to build dreadnaughts SO
large that they could not easily pass
through the Panama Canal. 1t is also
believed that in view Of the increased
efficiency of the torpedo, the very ex,
tensive use Of mines and the bombs
from aircraft it is decidedly better to
increase the fighting units in numbers
rather than in size, the high water
mark in size having been reached in
vessels Of the California class"
The statement was submitted in
response to requirement Of the last
naval appropriation bill that Con.
gress be furnished with report "on
power and speed which in his (the
secretary's) Judgment, based on
knowledge, gained from the prevail
ing war in Europe, are, best suited for
war on the sea"
In his reply Mr.. Daniels apparent
ly brings to close the debate which
has been agitating the navy depart
ment for many weeks as to the gen.
eral characteristics Of the first battle,
ships TO be commenced under the
administration fve-year building
plans. Tentative plans for a 10000
! ton ship armed with 16-inch or per.
haps 17-inch guns have been discuss.
ed Many officers believe the present
14-inch, 50-caliber weapons Of the
! Pennsylvania and California class
ships to be ample, since the ships
will carry dozen each Of these as
| against eight or ten at most, larger
weapons without radical increase in
displacement. There are other navy
officers and officials, however, who
believe the 1G-inch rifle completed
| and tested last year, with satisfactory
results should go on the new ships
and still others uho argue for a.
17inch gun.

AUSTRIAN REPLY
UNSATISFACTORY
PUBLISHED REPORTS OF REPLY
TO AMERICAN NOTE ARE
DISAPPOINTING.
US. MAY SEND SECOND NOTE
opho'ds Commander of Submarine,
But Is Willing to Discuss the
Matter Further.

Notwithstanding United States re-
CARDS Austria-Hungary's reply to the
American note regarding the Ancona
as being entirely unsatisfactory and
unacceptable.
Persistence by Austria Hungary in
the course she apparently has deter
mined to pursue would result in the
severance Of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and the vi
emma Government. This step would
not be taken by the United States,
however, it was authoritatively stated,
without one more communication be-
ing dispatched to Austria Hungary
The United States Is described as
being prepared to insist that Austria
Hungary promptly comply with the
demands for disavowal, punishment
or the submarine commander and
reparation by payment Of indemnity
for the Americans killed or injured
in the destruction Of the Italian liner,
making 1t clear that failure will mean
immediate breaking off Of relations.
This second note, if necessary, it Is
said, would renew the original de-
mands and without dealing in dis
cussion or exchange of views, would
be of even more insistent nature as
to the expectation Of compliance with
out further delay.

DEMANDS IN NOTE
IN SECOND NOTE TO AUSTRIA
POSITION OF UNITED STATES
WILL BE REsTATED.
TO MENTION SOME FACTS
Terms Of Note VIII Be Very Com.
pIete-WllI Not Tolerate Any
Delay In Answer.

Washington The United States
prepared to dispatch second note
! to Austria Hungary on the sinking of
the Italian steamship Ancona. The
communication will vigorously renew
the demands made in tne first note;
mono Of them according to all official
announcement by Secretary Lansing,
having been complied with by the
! Vienna foreign office.
1t has been determined that the note
shall restate the position and views
Of the United States, emphatically,
that it shall be even more vigorous
than the first note, which was the
most drastic of all the diplomatic com
munications the United States has
sent during the present war.
The official text of the Austrian
reply was considered by the presi-
dent and his cabinet. Apparently the
official version contained nothing
which made its meaning radically diff,
ferent from the unofficial version ca,
bled in news despa tches from Lon.
| don. After the cabinet meeting Mr.
| Lansing announced that none Of the
| demands made by the United tSates
had been acceded to. 1t was explained
that the reply suggested further com
munication on the subject and more
specific information in support of the
charges made by the United States.
Official translation. Mr. Lansing
said. made the meaning Of the Aus,
troHungarian note perfectly clear
! The secretary previously had declared
clared the unofficial version to be
vague. Slight changes caused by
variations in translation, existed be
tween the two versions, he said, after
seeing the official text but the mean
ing in a broad sense was the same
Such a rejoinder is wholly unsatis
factory and unacceptable to the
American government and increases
the gravity of the situation between
the two nations
In regard to the second note, Sec
retary Lansing and officials were reti
cient. 1t was said, however, that the
United States might give some o
the facts asked for, though it would
not under any consideration enter int
an extended discussion Of details. The
United States expects It's demands t
