AUSTRIAN SITUATION
STEADH Y LMPROVZNG--
OFFICIALS OPTIMISTIC

Washington, Jan, 5.--President Will
son called Secretary Of State Lansing
into conference regarding the interna-
tioual situation arising from the Per
sia case, shortly before Il o'clock to-
day.
At the conclusion Of nearly an hour 3
session, Lansing said that the country
Is still "waiting for the facts" in the
Persia case.
The secretary hoped that Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna would be able to
enlighten the administration within o
day on the details Of the case.
Indications were that certain time
will be given for informal inquiries at
Vienna, and il these develop nothing,
specific requests will be made on Aus
tria to aid the administration in deter
mining the nationality Of the submarine
which attacked the Persia. That it was
Austrian, however, was the general inn
preston, inasmuch as only Austrian
submarines are reported to have been
operating in the Mediterranean where
the Persia met its fate.
As far as other negotiations between
Austria and America are concerned, all
evidence indicated that the situation is
clearing.
Lansing said that probably no further
note will be sent to Austrin in the An
coma case. This indicates that the loose
ends in that situation will be settled in
conferences with Charge d. Affaires
Zwiedniek.
II IL Is finally found that an Austrian
diver sank the Persia there Is strong
indication that the fact that the liner
carried gun will be the main bone
Of contention. Lansing said in this con-
nection that naval authorities will prob.
ably be asked to determine the
efficacy Of the Persia . Al inch gun
with view to showing whether It's
presence was sufficient excuse for an
unwarranted attack.
The secretary denied that the gov.
ernment is considering note TO Aus
tria. With regard to report that the
administration would warn not TO travel
on armed merchantmen, he declared
that II had not been discussed.

Petrograd, Jan. 5.-Watcaful wait
ing, that we'll known American policy
regarding Mexico some months ago
sums up the war situation in Russia to-
day, but watchful waiting in Russia
has meaning all its own.
Whereas Uncle Sam, after expert
encing few pin-pricks in ais patience
remained passive, the great Russian
bear after sustaining healthy, life
sized wallop on his tender snout let out
roar that shook the earth continents
away, Reduced to plain English tne
roar was:
"Giye me munitions; I've got
enough men"
That was several months ago. Rus
sia 8 greatest arsenal, near Petrograd
had been blown to smithereens; the
armies Of Grand Duke Nicaolas, yield
ing to the Austro- German steam roller
had been driven from the Carpathians
back into Russia and had lost Warsaw
and the whole Of Poland; there was
political dissension in Russia; alarming
Revolutionary outbreaks were oc'
curing here AMI there; the ever ad
vancing enemy was threatening even
Moscow, and the greatest seaport in
the Baltic, Riga, appeared to be about
to fall.
Bear Not alternating.
In winter bears usually hibernate
but all these taings and more which
happened to the Russian bear in the
summer and fall of 1915 precluded any
idea Of his going into winter quarters
this year. Russia is today the mos
active winter bear extant.
Russia has now mobilized her indus
tries and smells and other munitions il
great quantities have begun to flow
from the factories md shops in every
important Russian city; the Russian
cabinet has been reformed with partic
ular reference to q more active conduct
Of the war; the peasants who used Ia
drink vodka have become used TO a
vodkaless Russia and are putting their
profits from vodkaless harvests-hence
bigger harvests--into the provincial
banks; Grand Duke Nicholas aas been
superseded by the Car as commander
in.chief and has taken hold Of the i'm
portant campaign in the Caucasus
Stirred to renewed vigor under its rul
er, the army has used the shells born
Of the industrial mobilization and re-
pulsed the enemy in the vicinity OF

Gathering Information.

Washington, Jan. 5-Slowly, but sure
ly, the state department today mobil
lied information from u dozen sources
upon which to base the vigorous action
in the torpedoing of the liner Persia
promised by President Wilson.
How soon the administration will act
however, cannot be predicted. Difficult
ties in securing vital information as to
incidents surrounding the sinking OF
the vessel with American Consul Nc
Neely aboard are growing. But before
the Weekend ii is believed this gov
ment will have sufficient basis for ac'
tion.
The tension which marked the situa'
ton yesterday in official circles was
somewhat relaxed today. In fact, O
slight optimism was manifest. Hope
for satisfactory outcome was based
on Austria Is possible action. Some au
thorities held that she will take the
initiative in disavowing the incident
and in Furnishing the attacking subma
rine commander, should II develop that
an Austrian undersea boat was re-
sponsible.
Officials do not believe that Austria
had repudiatod her promise in the last
Ancona note which agreed that Austria
desires to maintain friendly relations
with the United States and TO observe
international and humnne rules az in
sisted upon by this government.
Delay in any action from Austria was
ascribed to the inability Of the com
mander Of the submarine which is be
lieved to have sunk the Persia TO reach
his base and report. Officials felt
however, that as soon as this report Il
available and IL IL shows he exceeded
the propricties, Austria will take prop
or action without waiting for Amer
ica's ultimatum.
Cablcd summaries Of survivors af
fidavits are expected soon by the state
department which has ordered It's Of
ficials abroad to get information as rap
idly as possible.
Unofficial reports that the Persia 4
boilers blew up promised TO figure IA
the situation, but otficinls do not be
lieye that the reported boiler explosion
was the initial cause Of the disaster.

IAPAN AND GERMANY
WILL GET TOGETHER
Expert Points Out Possibility
Of United States Facing
Both Soon
By ]. w. T. Mason.

New York, Jan. 5.-A warning TO
America to prepare for a probable CON
flict with Japan is given by Lord
Northcliffe today in his copyright arti-
Gle written for the United Press when
he points out.that America s wealth and
defenselessness will inevitably per-
suade some one to come and take what
they want.
Outwardly he wells his warning by
suggesting the "Laplanders" will be
the invaders, but he reveals his inner
meaning by the suggestion that "you
can change the words as you choose"
and by describing an invasion of the
Pacific coast.
The seriousness of his warning is en-
phasized by the possibility Of Teuton-
Japanese understanding after the war.
Such a situation be forecasted by
the fact that German prisoners are be-
ing favored in Japan, while it is re-
ported from Toxic that the Nipponese
will not block the kaiser's efforts
after the war to regain Germany s
lost prestige in China.
Don't Like the Alliance.
Moreover, there is growing dis.
satisfaction in Great Britain over the
British alliance with Japan. Canada,
Australia and New Zealand are hos
tile to Oriental intimacies Of John Bull,
and these portions Of the British em-
pire are destined to have wider in
fluence in international politics than
they have had heretofore. They Op-
pose future pledges of British support
to Japan in case she is involved in
war.
This colonial disapproval is probably
the reason why Great Britain does not
sanction having the japanese fight
with the other allies in Europe.
The colonies doubtless will favor an
understanding with America over
Japan, and Lord Northcliffe has prob
ably sensed the feeling of Great Britain
on this point.
His warning may well be cryptic
prophecy that Japan and Germany will
be found together in new alliance in
the future, with the United States as
their common enemy. Then America
might have to rely on Great Britain
for support. Indeed, it would be in
evitably necessary if such a combina.
ton made simultaneous attacks against
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and
caught America unprepared.

Washington, Jan. 5.LUnless it is ma

military preparedness program will be
beaten, the administration itself be-
lieves, it was authoritatively learned
today.
Senate Leader Kern's detection from
the ranks of supporters furnished final
proof of this to the White House. He
has baked at the program because he
held that his Indiana constituents are
opposed to it.
This leaves the program unsupported
by the leaders of both houses Majority
Leader Kitchin of the house held off
from the first and announced he could
not give his aid to the program, but
Kern was expected to lead the admins
tration fight in the senate.
The preparedness sentiment which
swept the country several weeks ago
has reached its crest. some leaders
think. Moreover, President Wilson is
receiving discouraging reports of the
situation.

Fight Over conscriptiOn.

London, Jan. 5.-The battle over con.

in Great Britain's domestic affairs
opened in parliament today. Premier
Asquith was prepared to introduce the
governments g conscription bill, and it
was expected he would expose the fail

and anticipate the arguments of the
conscription opponents. Kitchener was
expected to do likewise in the house of
lords.

Russians at Czernowitz.

London, Jan. 5.-Under heavy bonn.
bardment the Austrians have retired
across the Pruth, north of Czernowitz,
Bukowina, according to q Bucharest
message today which, however, did not
confirm Petrograd reports Of Russian
occupation of the city.
In their retirement the Austrians
were said to have blown up two of the
truth bridges. Meanwhile the Russians
were reported to be sheling the south
side bridgeheads in an attempt to ford
the river.
Inasmueh as the Bucharest message
was not dated, it is regarded as posi-.
tive that 1t was filed before reports of
the Czernowitz evacuation reached
there. The Hague reports said civilians
had been ordered to nave portions of
Czernowitz and claimed that the Aus.
fisions are reinforcing their lines in
that region.
The Russian war office said merely
that Slay forces had occupied line OF
trenches northeast Of Czernowitz and
had repulsed enemy counter attacks.

 The other little frock, while perhaps not so dressy with its suspenders and pockets, nevertheless carries distinction all it's own. This dress may be made up of a silk dress of mothers in any attrac- tive color combined with white. This model is made from an old dress of delft blue and white striped silk combined with plain white silk. If you are using remnants of new material, 1t Is an inter- esting design for dinity, handkerchief liner or thin cotton weaves in pretty stripes of pink and blue. The guimpe, which is really a diminutive shirt waist is finished separately so as to facilitate easy laundering or cleaning. It opens down the front and is finished with a round collar chain stitches near the edge in delft blue. The cuffs consist of
 two straight bands finished by point and buttons. These edges are chain
 stitched to match the collar. White pearl buttons sewed on With blue thread finish
 the front. The straps on the waist and the pockets are made of the same ma terial as the guirnpe. All edges of the white strap are chain stitched in blue to match the stripe. The little bodice is slightly gathered between the two shoulder straps. The skirt is cut from two widths of silk and is attached to the waist under the belt of white. The pockets are finished around the edges with chain stitch Large white pearl buttons are sewed on with blue thread
 before the pockets are attached to the skirt.
 This description sounds rather intri- cate. but it is not really difficult dress to make Compared with some of the labors of hand embroidery and shocking
 which so many mothers accomplish for their little girls, this dress seems quite
 simple. should like this idea made up in blue serge for the fall to be worn with white wash shirts or guimpes all winter. With touch of wool embroidery on the pockets and straps, in coral or
 emerald green, this dress would prove both quaint and serviceable. Perhaps you have on hand serge dress which, though good, appears quite .hopelessly out of style. or perhaps velveteen, which could be used to make this little frock. Before making over woolen materials for children, I should suggest thorough dry cleaning or immersion in soap bark to be sure they are absolutely clean and free from dust.
