 This statement was accepted here as an unqualified admission tha many of the passengers were still aboard when the Ancona received her death blow. Mucvh evidence
 Much evidence along this line has been obtained in depositions secured by consular agents from American citizens. One of these dispositions states positively that the more seri . ously injured passengers were left aboard Tt the last moment to be car ried down with the ship.
 While the United States has insist cd heretofore that vessels ar1yihg non n-combatants be not sunk without warning. this is the first case. it is said, that has developed the view of the government as to what time is considered ample for the purpose of removing passengers. beyond the general statement that all passengers should be given a place of safety. as provided in the declaration of Lon don.
 The position of the United States is understood to be that while no specific time can be settled upon which would be applicable in every case, it is evident that sufficient time was not allowed in this instance. The Ancona is considered an extreme case it being admitted by all sources of in formation that panic prevailed aboard the ship

WASHINGTON Dec. Secretary Daniels announced to day that con- tracts for the construction of Bat tIeships 43 and A. authorized by the last congress, had been awarded to the New York and Mare Island Navy Yards respectiely.
 The bids were: New York. ST. 690,925; Mare Island, S1413,156. The decision to build the ships at gov ernment yards was reached at a con ference between President Wilson and Secretary Daniels
 Senator Phelan of California sug- gested to Secretary Daniels today that the battleship to be built at Mare Island bee named the Califor- mia, and that new name be found for the battleship California, now building at New York Secretary Dasiels said he would consider the matter
 Secretary Daniels said his deter imitation to order the construction of the ships in navy yards has been talked over with the chairman oi the senate and house naval committees and the reasons for the decision eX- plained to them. The last battle- ship constructed by the navy he said, had cost S7.200,000 for hull and

body approved in toto.
 Reason for Delays

The '. M B. A. representatives have questioned the delays by the C. of C.. believing thev were occasioned by ultra conservatism. But. the req sons for such delays are held to be Justified by the chamber. on the grounds that as the water users must pass on any new contracts. and as the president of that organization has stated positively his body will stand for no such terms as are quoted in the r c. G F. memorandum, no emergency exists The question then resolves itself into whether the city should operate a distributing system The fight :s to secure another eN- prcesion from the citizens regarding municipal plant. It is believed that an election would show the city overwhelmingly in favor of such a plant this stand having been taken in a previous election
 The question of whether such a pant buying power from the rec lamation service at a rate that the
 water users would approve, could serve the private consumer at a less rate than is charged by the corpora tion is now 10 be argued by both sides II is that question that the directors hope to have settled at the joint meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Mer- chants and Manufacturers associa- ton. -.

To Prince von Buelow in Switzerland; Dr. SOlf, The Hague; Prince Max imilian of Baden at Stockholm. and Cardinal von Hartmann at Rome. were attributed missions to mediate for peace. They also said. after our Serbian successes, that the German emperor was going to Constantinople in order to dictate peace from there There is not one word of truth in all these legends. This press campaign began when the entente policy in the Balkans threatened to collapse and the enemy attempts to break through in the west failed
 T have tried to give a clear de- scr;ption of the situation in the the aters of war. Against the logic of facts even our enemies can do noth- ing. Our calculation shows no flaw and there are no uncertain factors to shatter our firm confidence. If our enemies are not yet inclined to yield to facts they will have to do so later. The German people is un- sa1en in its reliance upon its strength which is invincible. It would be an insult to try 70 make us believe that we, strong from victory and standing far out in the enemies country, should be inferior in endurance. activity and internal moral power to our enemies who are still dreaming of victory.

NOTE OF UNITED STATES IS
 BASED ON ADMISSION THAT
 PASSENGERS WERE IN DANGER

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Tne note the United States has sent to Austria Hungaryon the sinking of the Italian liner AncOna was based, it was learned tonight, primarily upon the virtual admission of the Austro- Hungarian admiralty in it's official statement that the ship was tor. pedoed before all the passengers had been removed to a place of safety It was stated also that the position of the United States as outlined in it's communication asking repara- ion for American lives lost, and as surances that such acts will not be repeated, is that no matter whether merchantmen stops upon the fir ing Of a warning shot by a warshiD or after pursuit, all the passeng CTS must be removed before the vessel is sunk.
 The text of the note was not made public tonight, as it had been indi- cated it would be. Officials of the state department refused to discuss the communication in any way, de- clining even to admit that it had been sent. It was said that the fail ure to give out the note for pubii- cation was due to the fact that the state department had not been ad- wise of it's arrival at Vienna
 Baron Erich Zweidenek, charge of the Austro Hungarian en1ba ssy called upon Counsellor Polk of the state department late today. remain ing with him for nearly an hour. At the conclusion of the conference neither MT. Polk nor the charge would reveal the details of their dis cussion.
 Information concerning the nrin- cipal factor considered in the frlm ing of the American note was ob- tained after it had been said at the state department that no reply to the list of inquiries, recentIysupnitted to the Vienna foreign office through Ambassador Penficld, had been re- ceived The admissions of the Aus trian admiralty were contained in an official statement issued on No vember A. which, after giving the Austrian version of the chase of the Ancona, continued as follows
 The submarine aIlowedd 45 min utes for the, passengers and crew to abandon the steamer, on board of Nii4eli PtiiI' IciSHeu, put oHlJ Il small number of boats were lowered and these wee roccupied principally by the crew. A great number Of boats. probably sufficient number to save all the passengers, remained unoc- cUpiedd
 After a period of fifty minutes and as another steamer was approaching. the submarine submerged and tor pedoed the Ancona, which sank after an additional 45 minutes"
 The statement concluded with the assertion that if any of the passer- gers lost their lives it, was the fault of the crew. because the steamer

Congress set the limit for cost of each ship at $7,S00,O00 and the secretary said that while the de- partment would not hold itself to the estimates submitted by the New York and Mare Island yards, there was a wide margin between those figures and the congressional limit.
 The ships will require 68.422 .220 pounds of structural steel, and bids recently received from steel com ranies show that it can be obtained at less than the cost estimated by the yards. Armor plate prices are unchanged from last year. Assur apces have been received that there will be no delay in the delivery of any material MT.

 The Austro- Hungarian defensive positions against Italy are firmly in tact In Austria's heroic defense against continual attacks the Italians have been repulsed with gigantic loss of life Italy shoots to ruin peace fuI towns whose deliverance she made her task. This will hardly compen- sate her for her military failures.
 Tn Belgium the economic situation is almost normal. Industry and commerce have been reinvigorated; monetary matters have been regu- lated: the post railways and shipping roads are in operation; the produc- tor of coal is increasing and reached in the last quarter almost three and a half million tons. Unemployment is being checked, but it is impossible to bring the labor market to its nor nal state, because England is strangl ing Belgian industry by closing its overseas export.

 The Hay continental army scheme provides that the 100000 men under training during the first three years of their six year enlistment shall be called into service only with the con sent of congress and when war is in progress or imminent. The continen- tai reserve could be called out only when war was declared by or against the United States Tn dealing with the organized militia the plan pro vides that no state troops shall have the benefit of federal applications except when their number represents 100 men for each senator or repre- sentative from that state.
