Washington, Dec. 14.-The Austro.
American diplomatic sky seemed brigh-
ter today.
Informal and confidential negotia.
tions between Austria and America in
the hope of an amicable adjustment of
the Ancona case, are being attempted.
Acting Ambassador Zwiedinek IS confer.

Lansing was the first of several tina.
are lanned, Meantime, Ambassad5r 5r
Ten'ield at Vienna will confer with
Foreign Minister Burian.
That Germany will probably exercise
u strong influence in the final answer
of Austria is indicated from the fact
that Xwiedinek is consulting German
Ambassador Bernstmff.
In his preliminary conference Zwie-
dinrk is understood t. have sought from
the secretary an idea as to Just what
form Of answer America wants. Lansing
IS understood tC consider week suf-
tic!cnt time in which Vienna shall make
reply TO Americas peremptory de.
mands, but it is scarcely thought the
first Eote will be definite, and officials
do not expect the final reply within a
fortnight.
The informal conferences are expect
cd to provide basis whereby Austria
will concede what America wants. The
general feeling is that Austria has nc
recourse hut to answer satisfactorily.
1t is felt that she would hardly care tc
risk an increase of her enemies at this
time. For this reason, officials inclined
to take somewhat more optimistic
view Of the situation than they had
done heretofore.

Washington, Dec. I4.-Wheel horses
Of the G.. o. p. swung into line today in
the session Of the republican national
committee while lobbies buzzed with
presidential possibilities chatter.
All the possibilities" were either
on hand in person or had just left. The
most conspicuous absentees were SUI
preme Court Justice Hughes and Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt. OF them, the
lobby chatter was that IL eithor would
run, they would upset the other II can
didates.
Toward Hughes, the general attitude
was summed up thus; "If we can in
duco him to run, we will win with
rush.
Regarding Roosevelt the delegates
expressed themselves as hoping no will
support some candidate other than Col
onei Roosevelt. In last nights ban
autt Of the committee, mention OF his
namc was applauded, and then those
who perpetrated this applause stopped,
looked sheepish, and wondered IL they
really meant Il. Several speakers ex-
tended the olive branch toward him
with announcement that he would be
welcomed back 10 the G. o. p. with
honors.
From the banquet talks, II was evil
dent that the campaign will BIO based
on opposition to President Wilson g
foreign policies no less than on his

Dude In Society
Cave Man at Home

San Francisco, Dec. 14-That her hus-
band played "cave man" tactics to-
ward her because Gan women like cave
men" were charges Mrs. Augustus
Jesse Bowie, Jr., made today in discuss
ing her suit for divorce charging the
dashing society man with cruelty.
AT one time, she charges, he told her,
"I will crush you as all the Bowie
men crush their women" Again, she
claims, he replied to her request to be
passed dish on the table, "the Bowie
women wait upon their men,"
AS to his alleged irresistible attrac-
tion for the women, Mrs. Bowie claimed
he had said he was so handsome no wo-
man could resist him. Once he struck
her, she alleges, and asserts cruelty
drove her from home several times
But outside, she admits, he was suave,
polished Society knew him as gallant
and courteous. AT home, however, she
charges he constantly tried to prove his
contention that call women like cave
men,"

Demobilizes Half of Armu.

Athens, Dec. 14.-Newspapers an
nounced here today that Greece will
demobilize 80 per cent of her troops
under the agreement she has just made
with the allies.
This agreement provided for clear
path to Salonika for the retreating al.
ly forces. Several days ago, it was re.
ported that Greece would demobilize,
as the allies desire. Whether the re-
ported 50 per cent rehabilitation will
be satisfactory is unknown, though
from the ally standpoint it. will mean
quite degree of prorection from any
future molestation, should Greece
abandon her apparently friendly atti-
tude toward them.

Washington, Dec. l4.--With the Re-
publican National committee doing its
best to coax back into the G. o. p. the
gun-shy progressives, the republican
dove cote is aflutter today because it
thought it had discovered a scheme to
insure the party convention g "abso-
Lutte regularity"
The "machine" mems activity on
behalf of the uninstructed Oklahoma
delegation and on split delegations from
other states, caused the progressives'
discovery that the regulars have been
fostering an interchangeable sentiment
for Weeks or Root for the presidency
This fostering centered in the Atlantic
seaboard and southern states, inasmuch
as these give the majority of delegates
in the convention.
Playing Two Ways.
Progressives allege that the machine
men told their subordinates in the place
that Colonel Roosevelt would support
Weeks, while elsewhere they announced
that he would aid Root. Moreover, to
guard against defections, the alleged
Irregular" leaders have been working
in the same way in several western
states.
Agitation for st. Louis or Philadel-
phia as the convention city is still an
other evidence Of the attempt as "reg-
ular" control, it is alleged. The envir-
onment in these places is displeasing to
the progressives and Chicago is their
choice for the meeting place.
AS the committee gathered today it
appeared that they would bend over
backward in an effort to conciliate the
progressives.
One progressive said; "You can say
on high authority that Roosevelt will
not support Root l do not know about
others but we absolutely will not sup
mort him. -

woman in the Case.

San Francisco, Dec. l4.-Direct
charges that Baron Won Brincken, c..
G. Crowley and Mrs Margaret Cornell
sent mail matter attended to incite
Louis j. Smith at Detroit to burn the
Aetna Chemical company plant at
Aetna, Illinois, and the Aetna Explo-
sive company plant at Ishpeming,
Michigan, were made in indictments re.
turned by the federal grand jury last
night. The indictments were announce
ed in full today.
The charges made under section 211
of tho United States criminal code,
claimed likewise that the trio sent mail
matter intended to ineite to carson,
murder and assassination. This is q
more serious charge than that of the
second indictment which charges con-
spiracy to destroy foreign commerce
destined to the allies.
On the first indictment, the charge
was that on August s, the defendants
sent a letter to Smith (the informer in
the case) at the Hotel Normandle,
Griswold street, Detroit, intended to
incite him to destroy the two war
plants The letter, written on station
lery of the Hotel Garland, where G. G.
Crowley resides, was partly coded and
said;

The proposition about "clippings to

500 when he produced proof through
dispatches "
Still another count in the mail in

ters mailed other matter to Smith in.

POSITION

In no spirit of destructive criticism
did the Tribune approach its consid-
GRAFTON Of the educational problem
that confronts the state. 1t knew that
some local opposition would develop.
in institutional towns AID from the
press of the cities in which these col.
leges are located. 4
However, the labor has not been
without its rewards. The Tribune
daily is receiving announcement, not
only from its readers, but from edu.
Gators themselves, who realize that
something must be done, if the bur.
den of the educational tax is to be
lifted and the institutions placed or a
plan of harmony and efficiency.
This interview, appearing in the
Courier.New from Hon. w. S. Dean
of Hatton, member of the legislature,
is encouraging:
II do not think North Dakota needs
many more laws just now,' said Mr..
Dean. I'VE have a good many on our
statute books, but We need careful
adjustment of the expenditures of the
state. That's why l am inclined to
think that the board of control idea
would work we'll; it ought to econo-
mize and unity our educational ex.
penditures."
The change probably should be
a board of regents for the University,
Agricultural college and 1ormals.
That would be a good start. Other
problems could be worked out later.
But let us tackle the problem with.
out delay. 49, .'' 81

drop in the bucket. Millions would
have to be expended to afford North
Dakota farmers storage facilities at
a terminal point. =
This the state is not financially fit
to do, however much it would like to
perform the service.
The solution of the farmers trou.
BILE in terminal markets must come
through federal, not state, legislation.
North Dakota, single.handed cal do
nothing to correct abuses existing at
terminal points in Minnesota, Wis.
consin or Illinois. .
The tax payers of the state will
hardly endorse a proposition which
has for it's object the building Of al
elevator to be used by the Farmers
Equity Cooperative exchange or any
farmers association. Such an act
would be clearly unconstitutional and
poor public policy.
If st. Paul is looking to North Da'
kota to finance terminal elevators to
be used by their local grain exchange,
it is bound to be disappointed.
The Tribune is in complete sympa.
thy with the farmers cooperative
movement, but it does not believe the
tax payers should finance the scheme.
Neither does it believe the large body
of North Dakota farmers expect the
state to furnish them terminal facili.
ties. The practical hard-headed farm.
er knows that the state has no more
business in the grain business than
in the live stock industry.
If the state finances a terminal
elevator at st. Paul why not a co.
operative slaughter-house and market
at South St. Paul? Y
These problems are for the farmers
themselves to settle. >

THE NEW YEAR,

To the din of battle and the rattle
Of muskets another year is ushered
in.
Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen
passes into history, but its history
will not be written for some time,
But not since Napoleon's legions
wrought death and havoc, one hun.
dred years ago, has the World been
SO stunned by the ravages of war
Other; ars there have been, but none
such as stained what promised to be
a progressive record for 1914. "-'
Someone, taking the map of the
world, has drawn a lurid picture fol-
our contemplation. 1t is headed:
rChristmas, 1914, On Earth Not
Peace, but War" Every nation in
volved in the titanic struggle has
been blackeaed and those nations in
peace Stand out IN Wn1te.
Count the black spots on the earth's
surface, average their area and the
result will show that more than two
thirds of the habitable world is en-
gagged in the bloody conflict.
When 1914 dawned, a year ago to-
day, few dreamed what an awful her
itage it would leave for 1915. The
struggle may end this year and 1916
witness peace restored, swords beat
en- into ploughshares and men return
ed to peaceful pursuits.
In extending the fluctuations of the
season, a desire for peace is on the
lips and in the hearts of millions OF
Americans today.
May the year he a prosperous one
and crowned by peace. -

exports of the United Kingdom, and
slightly less than those of Germany.
Exports of domestic coal have dou.
bled during the last decade, having
increased from S,4S2,S 67 long tons in
1904 to 19,664,OSO tons in 1914, the
latter total being with one exception

913 tons and shipments to Hawaii and
Porto Rico aggregated 1873 sol tons,
making the total shipments outs Of
mainland ports $780, 94 tons, with
an aggregate valuation of SIS 1926, DOL
Anthracite coal supplies about one
third of the total exports in question,
and while about thirty countries ap'
pear as points Of destination, Canada
is the chief foreign market, having
taken in 1914 $40, 1000 out Of a lit
tie less than $21, 900, 900 worth export
