AUSTRIA WILL BREAK WITH AMERICA SOON IS REPORT FROM VIENNA

Vienna. April 3.-(Via LondOnD It appears certain that Austria will sever diplomatic relations with the United States if Congress declares that a state of war exists between America and Germany.
 The government has placed n special car at the disposal of Uni- ted States Ambassador PenfeId. who will probably leave Vienna on April ;. Before leaving Ambas- sador PenfieId will be received by Emperor Charles. The ambassador will travel by way of Switzerland and the Swiss government has ar ranged for n special car to meet him at the frontier.
 London, April IA dispatch from The Hague to the Exchange Telegraph. company, received here today. says that Austria Hungary will break diplomatic relations with the United States as the re- sulf of, strong German pressure.
 At the conference attended by Emperor William and Emperor Charles and the ministers and gem erals of the central powers, the correspondent says. the chief sub ject dealt with was the American situation.
 The conference is also said to have received declarations from Count Czernin VOn Chudenitx, the Austr0-Hungarian foreign minis ter, on the possibility of an early peace. The Emperor of Austria intends, it is added, to make statement to the world shortly to that effect in the name of the cen traI powers.

Pending the decision of Congress, the ministers and responsible officials in London hesitate to make any public ments on American cooperation with the allies. The present mood of the British public is perplexed. On the one hand they have daily evidence from the western front of the splendid success of the allies continuing advance; on the other hand, the war office is cor

stantly insisting upon the urgency of providing more men for the front and the ministers are imposing increasing food restrictions, warning the country that still greater sacrifices than any yet endured will be needed.
 TWO STATEMENTS
 There were two instances of this today. General Robertson, chief of the imperial staff at army headquarters, declared that the Germans are now stronger by a million men than at any time before and that the struggle will entail heavy sacrifices and greater de- termination. Winston Spencer Churchill in the House of Commons, in the course of discussion of the air serv- ice, referred to Americas entry into the war as God granted aid to strue- gling Christendom," and declared that but for this aid no prudent man could have said that the issue of the war was settled.
 Never since the victory of the Marne had the position been more serious, added MT. Churchill, and even with America in the struggle a most op- pressive situation lay before the na- tion, and the most vehement efforts were needed. The most terrible months Of the war were coming, and it would only be by the highest wisdom, ut most daring and truest comradeship that the allies should come safely thrOuph

HOPING FOR EVERYTHING

Faced by the gloomy prediction, the people, who a few weeks ago were inclined to belittle any practical as- sistance the United States could render, even if she came into the war, have now tendency to go to the other extreme and hope for everything from American cooperation While it is rec ognized that the greatest aid possible in the immediate future would be from the American navy and in the realm of finance and supplies, keen curiosity is displayed as to the line of co-operat tion which the new ally will take.
 The American ambassador, Walter H. Page. had another prolonged con- ference with MT. Balfour, secretary for foreign affairs, today and the Amer ican naval attache was in close com munication with admiralty officials or the naval cooperation. All reports of American war preparations were read with eagerness and satisfa ction.
 An interesting phase of the situa- tion is the renewed peace talk and although Premier Lloyd George, ques- tioned in the House of Commons to- day about these rumors, said he was not aware of any peace terms being suggested by the central governments, there is a very general belief that the report from Vienna and in inspired German papers of renewed peace ten- tatives are well founded and that the conference of the two Emperors and high officials of the central empires at German headquarters is likely to have striking sequel which would not be unconnected with the entry of the United States into the war

RANDOLPH M. ROSE

Chattanooga Tenn. MT. Jack Carr, March 29, 1917. 417 Connally Building, Atlanta, Georgia.
 Dear Friend Jack:
 Several letters that I have received lately . put me to thinking regarding the sale of our stock.
 Several people pointedly asked me the question as to why I am selling stock and why put so much money in ROSE-O and did not put it on the market myself.
 1 am writing them that I have put every dollar that have in the proposition In fact,
 I will go the limit on the proposition. of
 course, if I had years ahead of me I could struggle along and eventually put ROSE-O over, but this is the age of doing BIG things QUICK, and it is going to take whole pile of money to put the soft drink over, and that is the reason I am selling stock. don't know if it would not have been good idea to have put this idea stronger in our advertising. With kindest personal regards and best wishes, I remain, Yours sincerely, &.4Nz@,s
