Panama Canal Open Again.

Panama, Dec. 18.-The Pana
ma Canal, which has been closed
since September 1s by the worst
slide in its history, will be opened
again tomorrow for the passage Of
vessels drawing less that 20 feet.
Ten. ships, three from the Allan
tic end and seven from the Pacific
end, win make the passage.
Exceptional progress, aided by
good weather conditions made
during the last thirty six hours
enabled the canal engineers and
dredgemen to upset the prediction
that the canal would not again
be opened to traffic before next
spring. Providing that no further
slides occur, the canal will be
ready for the transit Of IS Is Of
all drafts shortly after the first
of the year.
Vessels that will pass through
tomorrow are the Newport, the

One of Interest to Our Readers

Good news bears repeating and
when it is confirmed after long
lapse of time, even if we hesitated
to believe it at first hearing, we
feel secure in accepting its truth
now. The following experience
of an Adrian man is confirmed
after. three years.
f. P. Howe, Adrian, Mo-, says :
"a lame and aching back had
annoyed me for years. This
trouble was SO. severe at times
that I couldn't stoop or lift any

were too frequent in passage and
there was some pain arising from

AUSTRIA 0IvEN ANoTHERI
CHANCE, q


H VkANO6s ~
Must Disavow Ancona Sinking Of
Sever Diplomatic Relations. n
! Washington, Dec. 18.-The sec
ond Ancona note is receiving final
consideration by Secretary Ian
sing preparatory to transmission
to Vienna.
Stripped Of diplomatic verbiage
the note reiterates the preemptory
demands made previously and
,flatly notifies the Austro-H ungar-
ian government that unless the
Ancona attack is disavowed dip
lomatic relations cannot be con-
tinued.
In one particular the nota falls
short of an ultimatum. No time
limit is fixed in which demands
must be met.
Only change in front by Aus
tria an expression Of willingness
to admit the illegality of the An
Gonna attack and discuss repara-
ton can avert break, officials
declare.
At the White House and state
partment it was gravely admitted
the Annacona case raises the most
serious diplomatic since the war
began. 81.
From authoritative source it
was learned the note as drafted
demands:
Disavowal of the Ancona act.
Reparation for the American
lives lost.
Punishment of the submarine
commander.
They were the original demands
made in the first note. To this is
added the clause that may or may
not be ultimatum, depending on
Austria s future course. It says
in substance:
The imperial and royal govern
ment of Austria Hungary cannot
expect the United States to con-
tinue it's present friendly diplo-
matte relations with the country
unless it accepts that principle
governing submarine warfare as
agreed to by the United States
and Germany.
/. The United States in it's second
note flatly rejects all proposals
made in the ro-Hungarian re-
ply looking to discussion of law
or facts.
The United States will not sub
NIT further evidence in substan-
tiation of its charge the Ancona
sinking was an act of wanton
slaughter. H
Secretary Lansing announced
today the United States rests its
case on the evidence submitted I
by the Austrian admiralty itself.
The officers Of the Ancona and
Of the disaster are not
necessary to establish this gov
ernment's charg~s that the sink
ing of the Ancona was an act of
contrary to laws of ma
tions and humanity. +
To emphasize this stan1, tie
state department made public the
text of the Austrian admiralty's
official statement admitting the |
Ancona attack. COMPLETE admis-
sion by Austria Hungary of an
Illegal act is in this paragraph:
"The submarine pursued the
steamer and continued firing.
The steamer stopped only when ,
lit several times. The submarine
Flowed forty-five minutes to
lbandon the steamer, where pan c
'eigned, but only a small number !
# boats were. lowered, occupied !
principally by the crew. After :
fifty minutes the submarine sub +
merged and torpedoed the Ancona I
which sank after forty-five min A
