On a par with this absurd superstition
is the story, heard from time to time,
that onions ward off smallpox. Our
forefathers had profound faith in
asafetida, because of its evil smell,
and a century ago hardly a prescrip-
ton was compounded without the adj
dition Of this harmless and usually
wholly inert gum. We have learned
something in the last century or so
however, and no longer dread bad
odors as causes Of disease, nor trust to
them as cures. It is a curious fact
that many Of the most deadly gases
have little or no odor, or a lar from
unpleasant one, while many vile smell
ling gases are comparatively harm
]ess.''

ference Of British Embassy officials
Counsellor Polk OF the State Depart
ment and representatives Of the pack
ers.
There was no announcement concern
ing the result of the conference. but
il was said that il was entirely possible
that Great Britain might look with
favor on private and direct DISPOSE
tion of these cases. Such step would
eliminate the necessity for special rep
resentations. which the packers have
urged the State Department TO make
in their behalf. in addition TO the note
recently dispatched dealing with the
general subject OF interference with
neutral trade.
The packers had supplied the de
partment with information on which
TO base special representations. and il
was stated that unless plans were
changed a new note would be prepared
Four cases involving cargoes of meal
shipped from the United States TO neu-
trail European countries already have
been decided against the packers By

Privy Council are pending. About for.
ty other cases are awaiting trial.

AUSTRIA GETS
ANC0NA NOTE
Penfeld Asks Explanation
of Sinking from Vienna
Foreign Office.

Vienna. Nov. % (by courier 20 Ber-
lin. Nov. %; via London, Nov. 2S).-lt
was learned from an authoritative
source to-day that Ambassador Pen
field delivered TO the Foreign Office last
Saturday an American note on the sink
ing Of the Italian steamer Ancona, the
contents of which generally CORE
sponded TO that which the Ambassador
a. Rome submitted to the Italian gov
eminent
The embassy has not yet received an
answer to the note, but, it is learned from
another authoritative source that 1t
will not differ much from the already
published statement Of Austria con-
corning the sinking of the liner.
The detailed report received from the
commander OF the submarine which
sank the Ancona bears out in all re-
spects his earlier communication. 1t
reiterates, first, that the Ancona lin ac-
cordance with instructions of the
Italian government" refused 10 halt;
second. that the submarine commander
did everything possible to protect the
lives of passengers: and, third, that the
crew of the Ancona, in the greatest
panic. thought only of themselves and
left the women, children and other
passengers to their fate.
The assertion that the submarine
fred on persons struggling in the water
is characterized by officials here as an
absolute invention The further as
sertion that the submarine possibly
was German craft. owing to its great
tonnage, is explained here as possibly
being due TO the fact that Austria-Hun-
gary ordered a short time before the
outbreak of the war large submarines
in Germany, which lately have been de-
livered in the Adriatic.
Al the marine section Of the War
Office it was declared that charges OF
brutality against the submarine crew
were ridiculous. and that such state

ments were designed only to affect
opinion in neutral countries.
Il is intimated from another authori-
tative source that the fact that the
Ancona was carrying a large shipment
of gold was known here, and that as
gold is contraband the sinking OF the
Ancona was decided on.
Confidence is felt in official quarters
here that the answer Of the imperial
government TO Wsshington's repre-
sensations will settle the Ancona case.
The answer will be transmitted within
three or four days. It was intimated
at the American Embassy to-day that
nothing was known concerning the An
coma case except what had been learned
from the newspapers.

at $40. .6o5.o57. These figures are. based
upon shipments from July of last year
