CAPTAIN HAS BEEN PUNISH ED.
Agrees With Uncle Sam as to Laws
OF Humanity.

London, Dec. 31.-The Austrian
reply to the second American note Oh
the Ancona states that the command
er of the Austrian submarine has
been punished for not sufficiently talk
ing account of the panic aboard the
Ancona, which rendered disembarka-
ton more difficult.
The reply of the Austrian govern
ment is forwarded to Reuters Tele-
gram company from Vienna by way
of Amsterdam. The note says in
part:
I'm reply to the second American
Ancona note the AustroHungarian
government fully agrees with the
Washington cabinet that the sacred
laws of humanity should be taken in
to account also in war, and empha-
sizes that it, in the course of this
war, has given numerous proofs of
the most humane feelings.
"The Austro-H Hungarian govern
ment, too, can positively concur in
the principle that enemy private YES
sells, so far as they do not flee or offer
resistance, shall not be destroyed be-
fore the persons aboard are secured.
1.-The assurance that the United
States government attaches value to
the maintenance of the existing good
relations between AustriaHungary
and the United States is warmly re-
ciprocated by the Austro-Hungarian
government, which now, as hereto
fore, is anxious to render these rela-
tions still more cordial.
Results of Inquiry.
The Austro-Hunga garian government
then communicates the results of the
inquiry into the sinking of the An
coma, which was recently concluded.
''The inquiry showed that the COM
mander of the submarine, from a
great distance in the first instance,
fired a warning shot on the steamer
sighted at 11:40 in the forenoon,
which he at first believed to be a
transport steamer, at the same time
giving a signal for the vessel to stop.
AS the steamer failed to stop and
tried to escape the submarine gave
chase and fired sixteen shells, of
which three were observed to hit.
The steamer only stopped after the
third hit, whereupon the commander
ceased firing.
ALREADY during the flight, it is de-
clared, when at full speed the steam
er dropped several boats filled with
people, which at once capsized. After
the steamer stopped the commander
of the submarine observed that six
boats were fully manned and they
speedily rowed away from the steam
er.
Approaching nearer the COM
mander of the submarine saw that a
great panic prevailed aboard the
steamer and that he had before him
the passenger vessel Ancona, on ac-
count of which he gave those aboard
more time than was necessary to
leave the vessel in lifeboats.
LAT least ten lifeboats still we're
aboard, which would have more than
sufIiced to rescue the persons remain
ing on the vessel, but as no other
preparations were made to hoist out
the boats the commander decided, af-
ter the expiration of forty minutes,
to torpedo the vessel in such man
ner that it ought to remain afloat for
a still longer time in order to leave
sufficient opportunity for the people
still aboard to be rescued

"FIVE MINUTES" THE THEME
 OF A FIVE-MlNUTE SERMON.
Rev. Peter J. cuny Declares Catholic
 Church Knows No Vacation.

With watch in hand, at the 1030 mass in St. Patricks church Sunday, Rev. Peter J. Cuny spoke on the un- usual topic, Five Minutes" This the fact that during these hot Sun days the preacher at the last mass IS supposed to limit his sermons to five minute talk.
 The significance of five minutes un- der varying circumstances formed the substance of the exceedingly novel and interesting instruction. Five min utes spent in some pleasurable man ner seems short, the speaker said, while the same space of time devot- ed to any disagreeable task may ap- pear long and tedious.
 Five minutes may have in them the import of consequences weighty with significance to a mans destiny. For example, the opportunity of having five minutes in which to prepare for death, in case such opportunity be granted one, may mean the deciding of eternal destiny.
 Five minutes spent in heaven would seem all too short. The same length of time spent in hell would have more effect than would the preachings of a hundred missionaries.
 But an inconsiderable portion of a year, five minutes each Sunday in summer required to be spent in listen ing to a sermon is certainly not too much time to ask a man to devote to Gods service. The Catholic Church knows no vacation, the preached en- phasized. She does not lock up her churches in summer any more than in winter.
 The soul needs food just as much as the body does; and no person would expect the body to get along without proper nourishment for one month, or too, just because it happened to be not weather.
 Food for the soul is found in as sisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the mass at least once a, week, in prayer, in the grace which comes from the various sacraments and sacramentals of religion, etc. Recognizing this need of the soul for spiritual food to strengthen and sustain it. the Catholic Church, far from suspending it's aC- tivities during the vacation period, follows the vacationists to mountains and shore, establishing and keeping open chapels and churches, wherein men may seek that spiritual food so necessary to the souls vitality.
 The brief instruction was full of helpful, inspiring and practical thoughts for St. Patrick's cOngrega- ton, which was of good proportions. in spite of the rain and the fact that many are absent from town on sum mer outings.

RED CROSS SUPPLIES
 TO CONNECTICUT GUARDsMEN Six Big Packing Cases Forwarded
 From Bush Terminal, New York.


 A letter received by Red Cross work CTS from Mrs. Isabel Stevens Lathrop of the American Fund for French Wounded in Paris, directs attention to the pressing need of hospital supplies, especially cotton, at Verdun and other parts of the western battle line
 We have never had such demands made on us for cotton" Mrs. Lathrop writes, and the fighting at Verdun has been so fierce and persistent that we have had a veritable housecIean- ing. If all the patient women who have been winding and winding these horrible little machines could see their bandages going away to the front they would be repaid. We now have appeals from more than fifty hospi- tals a week, and it is out of the oues- tiOn to fill them.'
 During the week large shipments of comforts were sent from the Bush Terminal depot in New York of the Red Cross to the Mexican border, in- cluding six large packing cases of books, magazines, chocolate, chewing gum, evaporated- cream, tobacco, ci- garettes, comfort bags, playing cards, etc, to the Connecticut troops at No- gales, Ariz.

between the steering post and the seat so hard that it took three men to remove him. Al call was sent for the ambulance but zin the meantime a physician arrived and took Bruso, who was severely injured and uncon- scious to the Backus hospital. There it was discovered that he had severe concussion of the brain and a deep cut on the scalp. The automobile struck the pole with such an impact that the cross trees on the top of the pole were broken in two.
 The machine, which was a touring car, owned by -Bruso, is a wreck. Null lin was able to go to his home after having his wounds dressed by a phy- sician.
 On Sunday evening at the hospital it was stated that Bruso was resting comfortably. He had regained con- sciousness late Sunday afternoon for the first time since the collision. It is possible that the severe pressure to which he was subjected in the acci- dent may have caused internal injur- ies.
