AUSTRIA TRIES TO
AVOID BREAK
Plans Every Reasonable Sacri-
flee to Keep Relations Open
With America
By .fssocidtsd Press

Berne, Switzerland, March l. via
Paris. March 2.-The recent report that
the Austro- Hungarian Government has
determined to make every effort to
maintain diplomatic relations with the
United States is corroborated by infor-
nation reaching heer from Vienna. The
strong impression prevails that Austri-
Hungary intends to make every sacri-
fee which IL regards as reasonable to
avoid d rupture, although such action
apparently would mean flying in the
fact of Germany.
An American in close touch with
Austrian diplomatic affairs who arrived
in Berne to-day, said that opinion was
divided among those underlying the di-
vergence fro tmhe policy of Germany.
One group, he said, believed Germany
was acquiesced for the purpose of pre-
serving unbroken~a an indirect bond be-
tween herself and the United States
while the other group was convinced
that Austria was asserting independ-
ence of Germans.
That the American embassy at Vi
emma is not expecting an immediate
break is perhaps indicated by the action
of Joseph c. Grew, counsellor of the
embassy. who telegraphed to Mrs. Grew
to go to Vienna. She will depart to-
morrow.
The Basler Nachrichten reports from
Vienna that it is officially confirmed
negotiations with the United States are
still in progress. and that it is an
nounced semi officially that the date for
Austria's reply to the American memo
randum has not. been settled, as the
examination of questions of interna-
tional law brought up by the American
note has not been concluded by tho
foreign office.

Pennsylvania conference of the United
Evangelical Church in it's morning ses-
sion at East Prospect to-day selected
the church in Jersey Shore, Lycoming
county, as the scene of the 1918 gath
ering. An invitation had also been
extended by Memorial Church in Balti-
more. A report on establishment

In an address to the conference on
"The Needs of the Church." the Rev.
B. H. Meidel, of Penbrook, declared
that the mission work of the world for
some years to come will be largely de-
pendent on the United States, because
the warning countries of Europe are
exhausting their resources.

WRECK PROBES
ARE COMPLETED
No Decisions Will Be Announc-
ed Until After Inquest; Engi-
neer Suffers Breakdown

Federal and State probes into the
cause of the Mt. Union wreck have
been completed. Railroad officials will
continue their investigation following
the action of the coroner's jury, which
Is expected next week. NO further
inquiries will be made in Harrisburg,
according to John p. Dohoney, in
spector for the Public Service Com
missioners.
Engineer A. T. Cook. who was on
the freight engine that crashed into
the Mercantile Express, Tuesday
morning, is still at his home, 610
Woodbine street, this city. He is suf-
fering from a nervous breakdown and
injury to his feet. He is seeing. no
one but the immediate members of
his family and a few intimate friends.
The testimony of Engineer Cook
has been placed in the hands of the
State investigator and the federal au-
thorities who completed their inquir-
les at Altoona yesterday. 1t is under
stood that Engineer Cook will appear
before the coroner of Huntingdon
county as soon as his health will per-

Signal Blade Defective?
Results of the inquiries will not be
made public until all reports are
| completed. While there has been
talk of an arrest, none has been
| made. According to testimony made
public much of the blame has been
placed on Engineer Cook. However.
no official statement has been made
placing the responsibility for the
wreck.
There were many rumors afloat to-
day, none of which could be veri-
| fed. 1t was said that one of the
blades on the signal post had been
found defective, and that the running
of train over the track would cause
the blade to move up and down show
ing both green and white lights. II
was also aid that contradictory tes-
timony had been given at Altoona
that the freight trainmen had testified
that the passenger train fiagman, S. K
Jacobs, had not gone back as far as
reported and that he failed to place
torpedoes or a fuse on the tracks. II
was also said that official reports
would show other rule violations.
f. S. Wagner, of Pittsburgh, who
was included in the list of victims OF
Thursday mornings railroad wreck at
Mt. Union, has telegraphed railroad
officials at Altoona that he is alive and
uninjured in New York city. Be
cause cards and other belongings OF
his were found in the car Bellwood, q
body otherwise unidentified was sup
posed to be that of Wagner, who had

Predicts Call For Men Will

Newspapers and periodical maga-

difference of many American people
toward the international situation,
Benjamin NJ. Mead told members of
the Harrisburg Democratic Associa-
ton, in an address last night, in the
Board of Trade building.
Mr.. Mead referred to the display of
national patriotism during the Span
ish-American war, and said that lack
of interest in the present crisis is due
to the sensational developments re-
ported almost daily. He predicted
a call for volunteers would not be an
swered as readily as in '9S.

pUNGLrNG WORK

Nothing but gross .carelessness and
the worst kind Of bungling can ex-
plain the repeated driving of piling
through the city's water main at the
foot OF Sheridan street. For the sec
ond time within week this pipe
line has been punctured. There
should have been no reason for the
frst instance; the second instance is
absolutely inexcusable.
Ignorance Of the fact that the pipe
line lay under the bridge at this point
10 given as the excuse for the first
break. The fact that men were per-
mitted to start driving piles at this
place without being informed Of the
location Of the pipe line shows negli-
r.. ce on the part Of someone. But
having located the pipe line by driv-
ing piling through it, nothing short
OF bungling work would explain the
repetition of the performance.
The city has been put to a great
deal of inconvenience and danger
not to mention the expense, because
OF this bunglng work. The manner
in which the city's water suppy has
been trifed with during the last few
months is little short of scandalous.

NO GENERAL FRANCHISE

The Board of Freeholders do we'll
to hesitate In giving the New York
Telephone Company O. general fran
chise to operate whenever and wher-
ever they please in the county. The
freeholders must remember that any
action they take along this line is
binding the people of Mlddlesex
county to this one monopoly.
No one knows what the future has
In store even in the matter of tele-
phone. 1t now looks as II the New
York Telephone Company would
have the monopoly of this territory
for an indefinite time. Probably the
only change will be to government
ownership. But the future is so un-
certain and so many unexpected
things have taken place in recent
years it would be mistake to tie up
the county In such a general way.
The people must keep control of the
rights and privileges they still have
left.
1t is not difficult thing for the
telephone company to make applica-
tlon to the county board whenever
they desire extensions Of their lines
or to alter existing lines. In fact, in
this way officials can keep track of
what they are doing.
Future generations might have
cause to condemn the. present Board
of Freeholders should any general
franchise be granted now. Let us
keep what rights we have. The
people have already given away more
franchises than is good for the public.

1t is time to call halt. The city
wants no more. bond issues unless
they are essential for the proper con-
duct of public affairs. If the munich
pal lighting plant is short of funds
and needs money as it Is now oper-
ated, it is time the people knew about
it. The facts would help them TO
Judge whether or not the municipal
lighting plant Is success. If the
municipal lighting plant Is running
along all right, saving the city money
on it's street lighting contract, 1t
ought to be let alone. No matter
which way you look at 1t, there is no
need for a bond issue for 5000 to
