Welcome New Year
Right Merrily in
The Great Cities

CHICAGO. Jan. 1.-TWO and a half
million dollars is the estimate given by
leading hotel and cafe managers as the
amount expended here IN the ushering
out of the old and the welcoming In Of
the new year. The same authorities
pronounced the celebration as not only
the freest in the matter of expenditure,
but the gayest which has been observed
in Chicago.
The light fitting OF the lid resulting
from an official opinion by the corpora
tion counsel made 1t possible for the
revels to continue long after the advent

Therefore, the officer was punished

The imperial and royal government,
in the face of this state of affairs, does

conclusion respecting tuc indemnifica-

gard 1t makes the following statement;
The investigation in,o the sinking OF
the Ancona could naturally furnish no os-
senual point to show In how far q right

net, be held liable for damage which re-
suited from the undoubtedly justified
bombardment OF the fleeing ship.
ut should just as little nave to answer
for the damages which came to pass be-
fore the torpedoing of the ship, through
the faulty lowering Of liteboats or the
capsizing Of lowered boats.
The imperial and royal government
must assume that the Washington gov

give It dhe Austro- Hungarian govern

important information in this respect.
III, however. because OF possible lack
of material proofs, the particular cir
cumstance under which American clti-
zens suffered damage should not have
become known to the union government,
the royal government, in consideration
for the humanely deeply regrettable in
cident and by desire to proclaim once
again its friendly feelings toward the
federal government. would be gladly
willing to disregard this gap In the evil
dence and to extend indemnity also to
those damaged whose cause cannot be
established.
While the imperial and royal govern

Of the Ancona as settled with the fore
going statements, 1t reserves to itself at
this time the right to bring up for dis

questions Of international law connected
with submarine warfare. -,
