that Austria Hungary is adhering to
the illegal and inhumane policy of
ruthless submarine warfare and is, as
the committee believes. making war
upon American vessels land American
citizens on the high seas. and other
reasons which are not deemed neces-

VERY LITTLE Trading ! {!

NEW YORK, December e.-At the i'm
mediate opening tho market was in
clined to continue on the advancing
trend developed at the close yesterday
on the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's suggestions regarding govern
ment control and unification Of all sys-
TENS under this control.
The strength did not last more than
a few minutes. when the weakness that
the market for some time past was
again dominant and prices were again
on the toboggan, with the result that
the gains late yesterday were very
largely wiped out.
Various things contributed to the
weakness; the sentiment of railroad
officials and bankers was largely
against the Interstate Commerce Com
commission granting the desired in
creases in rates, allowing the roads to
work out their own salvation while
conforming with suggestions and CO.
operating fully with the government in
all things.
The banks of New York have recently
asked borrowers to renew maturing
paper as call loans, which is more or
less likely to complicate the call loan
situation, aside from working a hard
ship in 3 business way.

state Commerce Commission recon-
mendation as constructive. Interest in

Three prominent brokers thus ex-
pressed themselves this morning:

his natural inclination would be to

'The outlook for the market is now
clouded with the usual uncertainties
regarding congressional action and 1t
will probably be wise to make pur-
chases on sharp recessions."
Conditions are so complicated that
extreme caution is advocated"

archy in this country and 1S6.524 for
mer subjects who had taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States and
were becoming naturalized. The num-
Der of alien women brings the total to
more than 100000.
Polish-speaking residents in 1910
numbered -S43.7S1, of whom more than
one-half, 522.151, came from lands of
the former kingdom now under the
foreign domination of Germany and

came from Russian Poland. Austrian

treason and without possibility of pro-

treason and without possibility of pro-
lection from the United States.
While virtually all of the austrian
subjects in American uniforms are be-
lieved to be in complete sympathy with
Americas aims, their retention in the
American forces while technically en-
envy aliens is regarded as most unde-
sirable.
Legislation either to confer American
citizenship en- bloc or by name or to
except these men by special statute
from statutes dealing with civilian
aliens is being considered.
An obstacle to general action has
been found in the objection of Army
commanders to the presence in their
ranks of any men whose loyalty may
be in the slightest degree questionable,
but some means will be found to guard
against throwing out of the service
thousands of good and loyal soldiers.
Declaration of war on Austrian Hun
gary will add 100000 men more than
twenty-one years Of age to the alien
enemies within the borders Of the

"A SPLENDID TONIC !"
Says Hi1son Lady Who, On Doc tors Advice, Took Cardui
 And Is Now Well.

Hixson, Tenn.-"About 10 years ago I was. =" says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of this place. q suffered with a pain in my left side, could not sleep at night with this pain, always in the left side...
 My doctor told me to use Cardui. took one bottle, which helped me and after my baby came, I was stronger and better, but the pain was still there.
 I at first let it go, but began to get weak and in a rundown condition, so I decided to try some more Cardui, which I did.
 This last Cardui which I took made me much better, in fact, cured me. It has been a number of years, still I have no return of this trouble.
 I feel it was Cardui that cured me, and I recommend it as a splendid fe- male tonic."
 Don't allow yourself to become weak and rundown from womanly troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure ly help you, as it has so many thou sands of other women in the past 40 years. Headache, backache, sideache. nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out feeling, are all signs of womanly trou- bIe. Other women get relief by taking Cardui. Why not you? All druggists.

MORALES LAWYER AND
 MERCHANT FIGHT OVER
 ALLEGEO SLACkERS
James I. Barry, Member of Local Board, Santa Cruz County, Accused Merchant Of Plot.

MORALES, Sept. Exchanging R. Lemhke, department store manager, with being a stacker, James D. Barry, member of the local exemption board, tied into the merchant here last night while both were in a fashionable res taurant. Before they could be parted, tables were upset in the fight.
 Friends took Barry outside, while Lemhke was taken care of in the res taurant. When Lemhke appeared in the street Barry attacked him again and both were arrested and locked up for the night.
 Both are prominent citizens of No gales, Barry being one of the leading lawyers of the city.
 The clash was the result of the ten sion in the city which. as night came, became intense. A plot had been un- earthed, it is alleged, formed by Mex ican and German residents to pur- suade American born youths of Mex ican descent who had been drafted and called to go on Wednesday across the line to Mexico. It was reported to- night that six had gone already. Thirty-eight are called to leave for the mobilization camp Wednesday.
 On meeting Lemhke in the restau- rant, Barry, who had been worried by the six reported dessertions, asked Lemhke why he did not try to get his former partner to return from Next co.
 Lemhke, it is reported declared he knew nothing about t and had nOth- ing to do with his former partner.
 Barry called Lemhke liar and a stacker. Lemhke replied hotly, whereupon the pair mixed in the res taurant before a gathering of military officers and others. The fight ragged hotly for a short while before the men could be pulled apart Barry, when dragged off, had Lemhke over table.
 The fight outside on the street was a duplicate of the affair in the restau- rant. A huge crowd gathered around all on edge.
 Early tonight the officials and the department of justice organized an espionage corps to watch for slackers crossing the line.

GOOD FOR BIG LEAGUE FOOTBALL
 IN WARREN DISTRICT
C. & A. Team Hard at Work Getting In Shape For Big Gridiron Battles This Fall.

It looks as though the district is due to have big league" football this sea. son. Certainly prospects for the c. X A. team were never brighter, and w. A. Gallagher is willing to admit that he expects his charges to ''cIean up" on everything within cleaning dis tance on the gridiron.
 Coaches Lavender, Benton and Lau- renson have wealth of material from which to choose their first-string elev- en. With men such as Monahan, Stone, Bell, Crouch, Telford, Brown, Wilkins, Hughes, Boat, Dolly, Galt Chalmers, O. J. Putner, A. J. Putner. Cowan. Youngman. Randolph, Milliard and Schmalzel trying for places, team is bound to materialize which would be a credit to any of the large eastern colleges. In addition, Red" Wilson, last years quarterback. is ex- pected from the Coast in a very few days. It is well that rae .eam VIII have an experienced head to direct the movements of the machine, and the quarter will have the most intel ligent carrying out of his signals. as many of the players are old college stars. Clarence Ligon is the field cap tain.
 The 1916 team held an enviable rec ord, but the 1917 team stand in fair way to not only equal it, but to better it. The only two teams which were able to hold last years organization to a tie have since gone to France. These were elevens from the Eleventh and the Twenty-third infantry, U. S. A. However, the management is hop ing to arrange games with the U. of A. and the Texas School of Mines teams, and they will prove highly acceptable substitutes. These games will be play ed in Warren.
 The people of the district should turn out in large numbers to see these local players in action. That men who work underground can compete and conquer army elevens-composed of men who never leave the clear, fresh in the most eloquent man. ner for working conditions in the mines.
