Mobilize Near Frontier

Rome, March 24.-News of for
midabe concentration of Austrian
troops near the Italian frontier has
been received in Rome. 1t is also
stated that 10000 reinforcements, in
cluding several Bavarian regiments
are in the neighborhood of Trieste.
For the preservation of Trieste, it
is rumored Austria is prepared to
make peace with Russia by ceding
Orthodox Ruthenian Galicia in ex-
change for a portion of Catholic Po-
land, or, if necessary, by still heavier
sacrifices.
The Austrian censor has again ve-
tOed all discussion of the Italian prob
lem so that the Neue Freie Presse and
the Clerical Reichpost of Vienna ap-
pear with their main editorial articles
ruthlessly blotted out.
Despite all rumors to the contrary,
| am informed on weighty authority,
that no direct negotiations between
Austria Hungary and Italy have yet
been begun.
What has really happened is that
Prince Won Bulow. the German ambas-
sador, after informally discussing tia
iys relation to the European conflict
at some, for the most part. casual
meetings with leading Italian politi-
clans, at length arranged the famous
interview with Premier Salandra. At
that interview he communicated his
personal hope and that of his govern
ment of being able to obtain for Italy
that not unsubstantial something from
Austria with which he had on an ear
ier occasion buoyed up former Pre-

his desire to conciiate Austro-ItalianI

that she has no objection to the am

preliminary understanding has been
reached up to the present, even, re-
specting the substantial part of the
mooted agreement-namely, an extern
sion of the territory with which Aus.
tria would be disposed to part.

most of the funds are gathered. The

TEXANS WILL
BEFURN|SHED
WITH PROOF
PENSION COMMISSIONER JONES
OF AUSTIN SAYS THAT PROOF
OF ENROLMENT CAN BE Sc.
CURED FROM HIM, IF DESIRED,

With the passage of the pension
law in this state, there are a number
of former Texans now living in Okla
homa, who will apply for their share
in this fund. In order to secure this,
the first thing is to furnish the board
with proof of service as a soldier. To
the many Texans living in this state,
pension commissioner Jones of Aus
tin has issued a statement to the eff
feet that he has the records at Aus
tin, the property of the state of Texas
which cannot be removed, but any
one applying to him for this proof
will be furnished, provided he has the
record in his office. These records ap.
ply to old soldiers formerly living
in Texas and drawing pensions there.
but who, later moved to Oklahoma to
live
To all such, commissioner Jones will
furnish certified copies of the proof,
upon request. In making this state
ment, Commissioner Jones states, that
he does this realizing the fact that
it is very hard at this time for old
soldiers to make proof of service, as
their comrades are in most cases
dead, or so far removed that they
nave been lost sight of.
A letter addressed to J. c. Jones,
pension commissioner, Austin, Texas,
will receive the proper attention.
