RELATIONS WITH AUSTRIA

A curious fate seems to have de-
creed from the beginning that the
United States and Austria should
never be able to understand each
other. Their contacts have been rel
atively few and unimportant, because
Austria has never been a maritime
country, its commerce with the
United States has been limited, and
until recent decades there was an
inconsiderable immigration to this
country from the dual empire.
Perhaps the two countries would
have reached better understanding
if they had seen more of each other.
At any rate, there have been re-
peated stresses upon friendly rela-
tions, and Americans have come to
feel, perhaps not altogether with JUS
tice, that Austria has been persist
emily unsympathetic with this nation.
The conduct of Austrian ambassa-
dorial authority in this country since
the present war began has strongly
suggested that Vienna entertains
chiefly a sentiment Of contempt for
this country. But we need only 90
back to the era of our war with
Spain to get the impression that this
Austrian feeling is rather more than
contempt. 1t is now pretty well un-
derstood that Austria was the initia-
tor of the proposal, submitted to the
various European countries, that they
unite in representations to the United
States which were equivalent to Or
dering this country to keep hands off
Spain. How far that program might
have gone will never be known, be,
cause it was quickly checked by the
flat refusal of Great Britain to be q
party to it. British sentiment veer,
ed sharply in favor of the United
States, and the London government
lost no time making plain that il
would view with grave concern an.
continental cabal aimed against tn,
United States. Perhaps the British
representations did not go so far a
to suggest that the British flee
would be the guarantor of a squar,
fight between the United States an,
Spain, but the Austrian plotters 60
the point very quickly, and there wa
no further effort at rescuing Spain
There have been several instance
in the relations of Austria and tn
United States, in which uncomfort
able situations have arisen. Austri
has seemed incapable of realizing
that the United States was NOR

should entirely reverse the record of
the first fortnight of this month, Sir
George Paish shoots altogether too
low in his estimate of our foreign
trade balance for the year 1915 at
$1,750, ,0O0, 900.
For the eleven months ended with
November We already had many mil
lions more than $1,600,000,0OO. Ex-
act figures must wait for the COM
plete and corrected Government re-
turns, but the provisional figures as
sured much more than 81, SOC, 900 900.
In only the thirteen principal Gus
tom districts during the last four
weeks the average trade balance In
our favor has been more than So
100000 day. So far as the returns
are in the record for December
thus far has stood at an average of
some $10,000,000 day.
If that balance of $1O,0O0,OOO day
should persist for the twenty-five
business days of December there
would be added to the figures for the
eleven months ended with November
a clean quarter of billion of dollars.
If we should close out the month
with an average of $4,000, 900 a day
there would be added some 1926, ,000,-
900. If the holiday season should
drag the average for the month
down to some $s,000,0 900 day there
still would be some 100000, 900 to
bring the total for the year not only
far past $1,750, ,O0O, 900, but we'll past
$1,000, 100000.
The prediction of the New York
Press is that the foreign trade bal
ance in favor Of this country for the
calendar year of 1915 will be nearer
$1,000, 100000 than $1,750,000,000.
No man can forecast at this time
what our trade balance will be in
the next year, but, with the continua-
tion of the war assumed for another
twelve months, we do not think that
Sir George Paish's estimate of g..

BEATING THE PNEUMONIA

Cold weather of the past week was
marked by sudden increase of
pneumonia cases in the District.
Probably the same thing occurred
elsewhere. Therefore, the layman
will conclude that the chilly air
causes pneumonia; he will stay in-
doors. in overheated rooms, and thus
contribute the most potent causative
factor in the disease.
The District Health Officer sends
forth his annual warning in regard
70 pneumonia. Once again he tries
10 explain that overheated and stuffy
rooms, and not the cold air, cause
the disease. The efforts of the few
who realize this fact. but are COM
pelled to work in offices with those
who do not, will BE an uphill task.
There will be the dread of
"draughts," which never gave any
ono cold, and the awful fear that
he mercury may not be soaring to q
nigh point.
Instead of walking. more persons
will crowd into stutfy and poorly
ventilated street cars. Instead OF
breathing deeply of the fresh, cold
air. they will HE to places where the
air may be warm--and also polluted
Thus the dread disease will continue
10 NOV down it's victims, until the
warmer weather again encourages
ht f.arful to go out into the oper
gay, and let that greatest of al
,eutic agencies, fresh air ant

WALTER KERMEEN WILL
NOT HANG THIS MONTH

Walter w. Kermeen, formerly of
Tonopah, who will be remembered as
the boy who is alleged to have set
fires and robbed changerooms some
years ago and was later ordered to
leave town, is not to be hanged in
Arizona this month as was planned.
but has been given stay of four
weeks SO that his sanity may be in
quired into. He was to have been
hanged on the 18th instant for mur-
der, but his actions have been such all
through his life and especially dur
ing the last year. that it is believed
by many people that he is insane. and
religious people who have interested
themselves in his case are working
hard to save him from the gallows.

is known as the Ray and Rickert

now satisfied that it has the ledge
in permanent place. A sample taken
across the three foot ledge was
brought in and ran $S5.64. Arrange
