PEACE BEFORE
END OF YEAR
Austrian Banker Has Happy Thought
But Admits Germany
VIII Need Some
Urging.
rBy United Press.l

PARIS, Oct. is. (By mail.)-"Peace
before the year has ended" That
is the firm conviction Of Herr Won
Rosenberg, an Austrian financ1er,
who is said to be Gin the secret OF
the GODS
A correspondent of lie Cri de
Paris the Paris weekly, met Rosen
berg on the lake. Of Geneva early
last August and asked him whether
he was still so sure that the war
would end this year.
"Surer than ever" was the answer.
Thereupon Rosenberger began ex-
planning how peace would be brought
about.
First of all there would be pa2al
note, and he gave the exact terms OF
the note as it was published some
weeks later. This, he said would
bring forth reply from Austria,
which he forecast with the same
exactitude.
"And what about Germany" he
was asked.
ooh, Germany will need bit Of
urging, but she will answer, also,
though her answer won't as yet be
quite what we in Vienna want, But
it will be first step in any case"
And now ABOUT lnS eHteuLe:
"The entente will wait for things
to develop, but events will be pre-
cipitated in Russia. and you will see
it will all finish very we'll. Everyone
will get something and everyone
will be satisfied"
Even Russian"
"Yes-even Russia. She will have
her revolution, and that is not to
be despised."
But what Rosenberg is most optim-
istic about, and his opinion Is evil
IDENTIFY an echo of what Vienna fin
ancial circles believe, is the reconcil-
iation of Austria and France.
Paris and Vienna, he declares, are
made to understand one another, "a
traditional and fatal policy" as he
expresses it, binds them, and he has
laid a wager that before five years
have elapsed, Emperor Charles and
Empress Zita will visit Paris and re-
ceive royal welcome
"As for William H." observes the
prophet, ."if he is still alive then, he
will die of jealousy"

MARYSVILLE, Calf, Nov. s.
twenty-five armed zen, alleged to be
l. w. WIS, attacked a troop train on
the Western Pacific railroad in the
Feather River canon. cut two coaches
from the train and were only beaten
off by the soldiers, using clubs after
stubborn fight
Although the attack occurred Sun
day, word of 1t did not reach here
until today.
The attackers fled to the hills and
today posses from Oroville and from
Marysville are on their trail.
AS far as is known here none Of
the soldiers were seriously injured
The train had been sarched here,
military authorities evidently having
feared an attack. When 1t reached a
point fifty miles from here, q stop
was made at a siding. Without being
noticed the attackers pulled a couplin e
pin, cutting two cars from the train
and the engine with thirteen coaches
moved on a mile before it was discov-
cred two cars were missing.
In the meantime twenty-five men
boarded the two STALLED" coaches
and fight started, in which the SOL
diers had all the best Of It. Using
clubs the sammies beat off their at
tackers and when the main train,
which was returning at top speed to
pisk up the coaches came into view,

sisters thought of doing years ago.
They dress with less restraint. They
are more brazen Khaki seems to
have driven them crazy.
To help them, the woman copper
stands in the shadows, watching her
opportunity. She is not outraged by
these noisy girls, not indignant be-
cause they show far too much cheap
stocking anG wear far too high heels
On their shoddy shoes, not even hope
less and despairing when she hears
their impudent, self satisfied laughter.
On the contrary, her faith is sure that
she has only to get these girls into
one Of her comfortable clubs to make
them as good as gold. In some OF
them men are admitted. In all OF
them amusement is. the chief note.
But refinement is there, with self-re-
spect and honest virtue making an
atmosphere.
Those fragrant sights to be seen in
certain quarters of the town after
dusk are almost too fragrant for the
action OF men constabulary. The

their part with the girls. while the
