Miss Gregg went on, knowing per-
fectly that at his next operation Doc
tor Wilson would expect Sidney Page
in the operating room. The other doc
tors were not so exigent. She would
have liked to have all the staff old and
settled, like Doctor O'Hara or the old
er Wilson. These young men came in
and tore things UP.
Sidney went into the operating room
that afternoon. For her blue uni
form, kerchief, and cap she exchanged
the hideous operating-room garb: long,
straight white gown with short sleeves
and mob cap, gray-white from many
sterilizations. But the ugly costume
seemed to emphasize her beauty, as the
habit of nun often brings out the
placid saintliness of her face.

AUSTRIA BREAKS
OFF RELATIONS
Seizure of lnterned Ships In
America Follows.
NEXT MOVE MAY BE WAR
Turks and Bulgars May Follow Lead.
Spain To Take Over Ameri-
can Interests In
Austria.

Washington. Austria Hungary,
ranging herself unreservedly with
Germany, has severed diplomatic rela-
tions with the United States, pre-
cipitating a situation which generally
is expected here to lead to war.
Baron Erich Zwiedinek, the Aus
trian charge, asked the State Depart
ment for passports for himself, his
staff and the Austrian consular force
in this country, and simultaneously,
American Minister Stovall reported
from Berne that Austria had an
nounced the break in relations to the
American Embassy in Vienna.
' Austrian Ships Seized.
Immediately the Treasury Depart
ment ordered the seizure of all Aus
trian merchant ships in American har-
bors. The Austrian crews were taken
off and sent to immigration stations
and American guards put on board.
The measure was explained as purely
one of police caution, but it is realized
that it may be interpreted by Austria
as an act of war. In similar situa-
tion after the break with Germany, no
ships were seized until a state of war
actually had been declared.
Whether Bulgaria and Turkey are
preparing to follow suit still is un-
known, but officials generally believe
that sooner or later they will do so. >
ConsuIs Ordered Out.
kilograms prepared week ago in
anticipation of the development have
been sent to American diplomatic and
consular officials abroad instructing
them to wind up their conduct of En-
tente interests in Austria, and of Aus
trian interests in Entente countries.
Spain will take over American inter
ests in Austria and Sweden will as
sumo Austrian interests here.
Safe conducts for the former Aus
trian officials on their trip home will
be sought at once from the British and
French Governments. @
Vienna Gave Warning.
In statement reviewing these
negotiations, the State Department re-
vealed that on April 1, before Presi-
dent Wilson went before Congress
to ask for declaration Of state of
war with Germany, Austria served
notice that such a declaration would
mean a break between the Washing
ton and Vienna Governments.
U. S. Not To Force War.
Although war with Austria is
thought now to be practical GER
tainty. President Wilson is described
as having no intention of forcing it.
He has taken no steps to formally
notify Congress of the break in rela-
tions. The belief is that the Presi-
dent will not ask Congress to declare
a state of war unless some overt act
against the United States is COM
mitted.

Some Of the Finest Ships AfIoat Are
Among Those Taken-Ellis Island
Receives Officers and Crews Of
Those in New York Waters.

New York, April 6.-Germany's $751;
100000 mercantile fleet, which had
been interned here since the outbreak
of the war, was seized by the United
States only few hours after con-
gress passed the resolution declaring
a state of war; There were 27 passen-
ger liners, freighters and sailing ships
in the fleet, among them the -Vater-
land, one of the largest and finest pas
senger liners in the world.
The German officers and crews.
numbering more than 5000 men, were
taken to Ellis island for internment.
1t was learned that the machinery
on some of the ships was smashed.
United States naval men will make
a thorough examination of the vessels
to determine the exact extent of the
damage.
The ships seized in this port aggre-
gated 100000 tons. Eleven of them
displaced more than 10000 tons. The
mighty Vaterland is a leviathan OF
1924 tons and cost $7,500,O00.
The German officers and sailors on
the ships made no resistance when the
United States officials went on board.
Nor did they murmur when told to
prepare to go to the immigration sta.
ton at Ellis island. A whole fleet
of customs boats swarmed in the Hud-
son collecting the Germans.
Here is the official list of the seized
ships in all ports as given out by the
customs officials:

There were two voices, a young one,
full of soft southern infections, and an
older voice, trifle hard, as from disil-
fusion.
They were working as they talked.
Sidney could hear the clatter of bot

herself. So that was it! No wonder
Carlotta had hated her. She was

might, If he suspected the truth.

selfish and self-indulgent, just a tritie

and speech, with a carefully-calculated
daring, frankly pleasure-loving. She

Sidney still held her hands over her

hands he held the keys of life and
death. And perhaps he had never
cared for Carlotta: she might have
thrown herself at him. He was man,
at the mercy of any scheming woman.

Mrs. E. L. Maloney received an ex-
ceedingly interesting letter yesterday
from her son, Mr.. Bert Maloney, who
is in the training camp at Fort Ogle-
thorpe. He says that the war game
is certainly great and that he likes
it fine. That the training is doing
him great deal of good and that he
will never regret the experience even
if he should not get a commission
but his many friends here and in
Jacksonville are confident that he
will secure one of these coveted
plums. He says that it required $751;
$40 to pay off his company alone on
pay day, and over eight hundred thou
sand dollars for the entire camp His
battalion will leave on a hike to the
rifle range next week.

men.
In conclusion, let me assure YOU
that I always will feel grateful for
the honor that you have conferred on
me. Some think and say that to be
commander of the Florida Division
United Confederate Veterans is an
empty honor but when you receive
letters from old comrades in other
states. some of whom you thought
were dead years ago, saying: 81
know that you have made good in
your adopted state by the position
you hold" you know that it is not
an empty honor but one that brings
solid comfort and qualification.
Again thank you, my comrades.
The annual reunions of the Con-
federate Veterans of the state are

division. In speaking of the matter
