Post at Vienna.

BERLIN, via London, Nov. u and
-. - II is reported with increasing
probability that Gottlieb Won Jagow,
the minister of foreign affairs, may be
appointed ambassador to Vienna to
succeed the late Won Tschirschky. The
possibility has been discussed III diplo-
matte circles ever since the death of
Won Tschirschky, particularly because
it is known that Won Jagow accepted
his ministerial post reluctantly and
never intended to hold it permanently.
The Tagcblatt gives prominence to this
report and declares that Chancellor Won

Germany Is Hopeful.

Berlin, Feb. 5.-Germany forsees no
immediate crisis in relations with the
United States over the Lusitania tor
pedoing.
Despite pessimstic reports from Eng
lish sources regarding the American at
titule, officials mere scoffed today at
the possibility that Germany's refusal
TO disavow the incident would bring
the affair to an immediate and grave
head. Indeed, they believed that fur
ther informal exchanges are certain to
occur before Germany frames a formal
answer to the last American note in
the case. lnasmuch as the latest in
stuction sent to Ambassador Won
Bernstorff call for an answer from the
American state department, it is re-
garded probable that the two nations
will air their views anew, whether the
United States approves or disapproyes
of the German proposals.
In its realization that the situation
has grown more serious, and in its dis
cussion of a possible break the pub,
bic recalls utterances of the president
on his preparedness tour, widely print
ed here, which are interpreted as a
warning to Grmany tnat America in
tends to deal firmly in the Lusitania
situation On the other hand the pub
lie does not believe that the United
States will force a break in diplomatic
relations because of Germany's refusal
to use a specific expression of disa
vowal
If deadlock is reached, it is be-
lieved certain that a break could be
averted by referring the dsavowal de-
mand to arbitration. In fact, only the
most pessimistic believe America would
refuse such a proposal.

Margaret Mason Writes of
Gotham Fads and Fashions

and Summer outfits threatens no real
tribulation.
Cotton voiles of rich biege color
striped in the same toned cotton velvet
are most effective and the biege black
striped are stunning additions to the
new tan toned fabrics Faille is love
ly in these neutral shadings too and
Spring suits of ecru accrue much credit
to the wearer as do the little turbans
of biscuit eolored straw and taffeta
and the high shoes with putty colored
tops.
If you remember we were caught in
sand storm of sand eolOred suits,
hats and accessories last Spring, but
this years bisque hued crop promises
less violence and more quiet effective
ness.
AS befitting a neutral nation that
other most neutral of tints, pearl grey,
will also have its place in the mono
tones of our most modern frOcks. Of
a necessity then the modern maid, de-
liberately going against the admoni-
tion of Mr.. Omar to fling her winter
garment of repentance aside for the
fires of Spring. Exchange instead her
flame hued garb of Winter for the
ashes of a new sartorial season.
And so a grey or tan mark will be
added to the aggregate mass of black
marks against the war by the woman
of Fashion. But between you and me,
after viewing the Ballet Russo backed
by Bakst with its chaotic and unre-
strained riot of colors / can't believe
that the poor old war is the only
thing responsible for the alarming
shortage of dyes.

the murder had been carefully planned.

had always been accustomed to keep

ever, scout the theory that the crime
was committed by Henry Nelson, an in
sane patient who escaped from the asy-
lum about 4 O'Clock yesterday. The
asylum physicians say that Nelson was
harmless patient and had never
caused any trouble at the institution
where he has been since December . of
last year. Nelson was committed from
Salem but came to this city to be
treated at the asylum for a fancied dis
ease. He was told by the asylum doe
tors that they could not take him into
the hospital unless ne was regularly
committed and then Nelson hunted up
Judge Bushey and was voluntarily com
mitted to the asylum. Nelson is still
at large today but efforts are being
made to find him, Nelson is feet, 8
inchs tall, weighs 1876 pounds and is
