FEAR HOME PROTESTS
Vienna Papers Refrain From Criti-
cism and Say Country is W:liing
To Listen to America

Berlin. Dec. 17.-Berlin does not
expect diplomatic break between
Austria and the United States as a
result of Austria's failure to comply
with American demands in her re-
plv to the Ancona note.
Austria is willing 20 make import
ant concessions to prevent such a
break, according to information re-
ceived here. Another exchange OF
notes probably will clear the whole
situation.
The position taken by the Austrian
foreign office in its reply not only
is heartily approved here, but 1s,
exactly the attitude Austria was eX-
pected to take. 1t is pointed out by
officials today that to have complied
meeklv with the American demands
at once would have cost Austria
much in prestige and would have
brought down popular denunciation
upon the Austrian government.
"Austria having maintained her
position in a dignified manner in her
reply can now gracefully yield TO
America in Il subsequent note" said
one German official.
"To have bowed down to Washing
ton in the reply it has just delivered
would have raised storm of pro
test in Austria. There is every rea-
son for believing that the ,Austro-
American controversy will be solved
lust as the trouble over the Lusitana
was settled.
The Vienna press, apparently at
the suggestion of the government, is
refraining from sounding defiance
in editorials on the Ancona affair.
Some newspapers declare that Aus
tria has no desire for any but friend
" relations with America and assert
that Austria is willing to accept the
American viewpoint if Washington
can submit the proper proofs.
These comments are taken as fur
ther indication that the Austrian gov
ernment does not intend to force a
break.

meaning Germanv-and second, that
the United States should.haye accom-
panied its conclusions with the evid-
ence on which they were based.
Austria intimates She has evidence
which will throw different light on
the case.
The purpose Of Austrias request
for the evidence, in the opinion of
officials here, is to force the United
States, if possible, to reveal whether
it's conclusions were based in part
on information from Great Britain
and private statements to Ambas-
sador Page by the Italian Foreign
Office.
The suggestion by Ambassador
Penfeld that Austria has evidence
of value is regarded as the most i'm
portant feature of his message Off
cials indicate that if this is true the
United States will discuss the evil
ence with Austria, but at the same
time will make it plain to her that
there must be no protracted discus
sion.
AS to the position taken by Austria
that she is entitled to specific state
ment from the government reciting
categorically just how her submarine
commander violated International
laws, officials insist that Austria al
ready has been fully notified of the
views of the United States in its
notes to Germany.

TRUNK MYSTERY
Body Identified as That of Philadei-
phia Leather Manufacturer

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE victim
of the mysterious Frankford trunk
murder was identified yesterday as
Daniel j. McNichol. a leather manu-
facturer of S66 North Twenty
ond street. He disappeared on Marcn
80, 1914, after marrying Elizabeth
Jennings, the daughter of wealthy
Philadelphia coal merchant. McNichol
was closely related to one OF the
leading local Republican bosses.
Identification was made by the wife
of the victim.
After the Identification Edward +.
Keller, Al years old, was placed un-
der arrest. Keller was formerly en-
ployed by the dead man as fore
man in his leather shop. The police
say he was the last person who saw
McNichol before his disappearance.
Keller declared his innocence. He
doubted that the body uncovered by
!aborers in trunk under the cellar
floor at 4O62 Kensington avenue was
that of McNichol. He did admit.
though, that small notebook found
in the clothing was one McNichol had
once owned.
Any doubt as to the Identification
was removed when Joseph Sutton, 4
merchant, identified a typewriter let
ter found in the pocket of the victim
as one he had written McNichoi.
The police forecast another arrest.
This, it is said, will be woman. Capt.
Cameron, chief Of detectives. refused
however, to admit that jealousy was
the motive for the crime.
Suspicion was directed to Keller
after it was discovered that when Nc
Nichol disappeared Keller visited Mrs.
McNichol and informed her that her
husband was in New York and wish
ed her to have the police stop their
search for him.

OLD.TIMERS TO ATTEND REUNION
Odon Guitar, Jr, Says Many Will Be
Here For Smoker.

.
We're going to make the old-tim-
ers feel SO young they'll be giving class
yells and Varsity yells and telling
jokes with as much spirit as the
youngest of the alumni. We're going
to show them that time doesn't count
very much with college men"
Odon Guitar, Jr., was telling of the
plans that are being made by the
local alumni of the University to en-
terrain the visiting alumni during the
Kansas game festivities.
THE big thing will undoubtedly be
the smoker for alumni on Wednesday
night at the Columbia Club. We have
had all kinds of meetings, reunions
and get-together gatherings, but this
will beat them all. The old boys will
mix with the young boys, and every
one will forget everything else except
that he is from M. U. and roofing with
all his might for the Tigers against
Kansas.
1--WE received many letters from
alumni In other cities saying that they
are coming back to the University
family reunion, and many more will
decide at the last moment to ditch
their business for a few days and join
US in this best-ever home coming"

CIIY'S FIRST WOMEN
GROCERS LIKE THE JOB

From p~etticoats to potatoes, from
chiffon to onions, from pea de sole to
petit pois, is a change that hasn't de-
pressed in the slightest the aesthetic
sensibilities of Miss Anna Young and
Miss Della Humans, two energetic
feminists who are running a grocery
store at Eighth and Walnut streets.
Furthermore, they are finding 1t much
more profitable. They are Columbia's
first women grocers.
Il got tired of working for Others"

dry goods store for five years, land

nous amount of cleaning up. We are
our WI bosses. We are making
money"
Miss Young was a dry goods clerk
for eleven years. Women should
make successful grocers," she said.
