 fled in denying thz, right.
 Care also is taken not to put the government in the position of having changed its attitude since the last communication ou the subject which was merely the transmission of the Austrian government request for a safe conduct.
 U S. May Demand
 It was planned at first when the re- buff was received to drop the position of being a messenger of Austria and make a formal demand in the name of the United States.
 It was decided. however, that it was unnecessary to take such action at this stage of the negotiations If the present note meets with an unsatis- factory response it is admitted that a very different situation will be devel- Oped
 Diplomats Alarmed
 The allied embassies are deeply concerned over the resentment felt by the Washington government and are taking unusual care to keep their fully informed. It is not known that they have forwarded any direct representations to their gov ernments except in so far as the nat ure of their information is in itself a recommendation. Nevertheless of fcials have every hope that this in- formal action by the diplomatic rep of the governments will go far toward influencing the attitude on the other side.
 Quick Reply Expected
 Early replies to the American notes are expected owing to the fact that Count Tarnowski is scheduled to sail from Rotterdam on the Dutch steam CT Nieu Amsterdam on December 6. Should the replies prove unfavorable the United States might send a final note notifying the allies to disturb

From the Desert of Admiralty, In the Vicinity Of Aux Cove, at a place known as Shrin-
 CTS Mecca

For a rough and tumble camp. the good old days of '49 have nothing on Shriners Mecca. The recent longshoremans strike was lnsigni- ficant as compared to our labor troubles.
 There is a shortage of able-bodied men. and those who are getting three squares. don't care to work.
 Our police force is inadequate and night marauders keep the camp in constant turmoil. Every day brings It's thrills, and great trag' edies are prevented by superhuman effort. Half the camp Is already heroes. and the rest are perfectly willing they should remain 80. It is necessary to enforce strict camp regulations.
 Sunday fishing is not allowed dur ing the week. and owing to the number of fishermen. large catches of trout are strictly prohibited.
 The firing of artillery is not al lowed within the city limits, and no one is allowed to exceed the speed ordinance.
 Boat loads of supplies and re- cruits are arriving daily. The city is gaily decorated with flags and emblems of the order
 Saturday and Sunday will con clude the encampment. and we are making big preparations for the fi- nal finish. Watch the daily papers for schedules and sailing dates. and don't miss the boat.

Now is the Time for the Book Of Knowledge. The mother cannot be too careful during the earliest years about the accuracy. truth and beauty of the pictures the child sees, the stories he hears. and the facts with which his little mind is fed. From four to eighteen are the years of greatest need. when the child must create the habit of reading and acquiring knowledge at first hand. During the per iod of school life parents have found it necessary to purchase many different books on different subjects, but THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE takes the place of all of these books, and has made for the child a wonderful selection Of the real ly important and essential knowledge of the world exactly suited to growing minds.

The best of 1t Is, of course, that they don't know they are being educated. The process is SO pleasant Thank you for giving me the op- portunity 10 have the books in the house.

 2 West 10th Street City Dear Sir:
 Confound the Book of Knowledge It has brought to my grandfatherly counte- nance the agonized expression of ignor ance and perplexity of which the print at the top of your letter head is iaithiul renlica Not only has it's possession by the voungster of the family increased in hun dred fold the normal boyish propensity for propounding unanswerabe questions but has invested him with superiority of knowledge that puts his elders constant ly to the blush. Seriously, of all the peda- gogic and educational methods that have been devised the Book of Knowledge ranks foremost.
