Washington Believes an Early
Break with Dual Monarchy
Is Inevitable.
VIENNA WILL NOT YIELD
Central Power Seems Ada
mant in Stand to Back Re-
lentless U-Boat Warfare.
PLAN TO CONVERT VESSELS
Navy Heads Thought Ready to Take
Over American Liners for Use
in Event of War.

A conviction that a diplomatic
break between the United States and
Austria cannot long be avoided be-
came apparent in administration cir
cles here last night. 1t is practically
certain that before President Wilson
takes the international situation once
more before Congress, Ambassador
Penfeld will have been recalled from
Vienna. Advices from Ambassador
Penheld to the State Department, it
was learned last night, have been far
from encouraging, and Austria is ap-
parently d1ermined to stand firmly
by her original Endorsement of the
German declaration of relentless sub
marine warfare
To Prevent Delay.
The latest demand made by Ambas-
sadOr Penfield for a clear and defi-
mite statement Of the Austrian position
was made in such way az to pre-
vent all further deiay or evasion,
While administration officials last
night declined to discuss the progress
OF the negotiations. there was an ap-
parent feeling that Austria will take
the position that the submaT IN .
pledges given this country in former
individual cases applied only to the
particular incident under discussion
and were not intended as an announce
ment of future policy. If this is done,
it was admitted last night. there will
be nothing for the President to do but
break. So far the administration has
been going slowly, because of the de-
sire to continue American relief work
among the thousands Of Entente pris-
oners held in Austrian detention
camps.
VIII Take Up Issue.
The President will take up the entire
Austrian question with his Cabinet at the
regular Cabinet meeting today, and will
undoubtedly decide on the course to be
followed. Meantime administration Of
fctals declared that all depends upon
Austria's reply to Ambassador Penfield's 8
latest communication.
The Cabinet today will also take up
the question Of protecting American ship
ping bound for the submarine zone. P
A. S. Franklin, president OF the Ameri-
can Line, came to Washington yester-
day and held extended conferences with
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels and AS
sistant Secretary Roosevelt Both Frank
lin and the officials fatty refused to dis
cuss the matters taken up in these con-
ferences, but there was a general under
standing In Washington last night that
plans are under consideration for the
taking over by the government Of the en-
tire American Line fleet of transatlantic
liners
These are the st. Louis, st. Paul, New
York. Philadelphia and Kroonland. The
St Louis and the st. Paul were built
with view to turning them into govern
ment auxiliary cruisers in war time, and
Navy Department officials said last night
that placing the required armament

(By the international News Service }
London, Feb. 22.-That the frank state
ment Of Sir Edward Carson, first lord OF
the admiralty, on the submarine situation
has encouraged the nation. was the view
expressed by leading newspapers today.
While Sir Edward admitted that the
submarine menace has not yet been
solved. his reassuring prophecy that it
would be, gave cause for nationwide
rejoicing, there is to be closer co-Opera-
ton between the people OF the British
Isles and the navy. That was one of the
pleas made by the first lord OF the ad-
miralty in his address to the house of
commons.

Study the Economy Proposition.

The insistent appeal to the women
of the Nation to economlze, will re-
suit in many doubtful economies in
a large number of homes. For the
housewife in her zeal to save will
often do the saving at the expense OF
her family's health, says Miss Agnes
Ellen Harris of the University Of
Florida extension division. That is,
the amount of nourshment in the dali
ly fare will be reduced unknowingly.
Such a result is to be expected, be-
cause not many women have studied
the problem of properly balancing
meals, and providing the proper
amount of nourishment in keeping
with the ages and occupations of the
members of the family.
So it may be best to make haste
slowly in applying economy to the
dinner table. The place to begin,
and where haste may be rightfully
used, is in the reduction of waste
from the kitchen. See that no food
is thrown out, and none is spoiled
thru poor cooking or careless hand.

with each kind of juice put spoon
full of Juice in a glass and add to 1t
one spoonful of 95 per cent gram
alcohol, mixed by shaking the glass
gently. Pour slowly from the glass,
noting how the pectin-the substance

precipitated. If the pectin is pre-
cipitated as one lump a cup OF su.
gar may be used for each cup OF
Juice; if in several Jumps the pro-
portion of sugar must be reduced to
approximately three-fourths the
amount of the juice. If the pectin
is not in Jumps but is merely preclpl,
tated, the sugar should be one-half
or SIS of the amount of the juice
If the Juice shows no precipitation

KEEP THE SOIL BUSY.
Neither the Growing Season Nor the
War Is Over.

Because Florida has growing
and harvesting season ten to twelve
months long, more is expected of US
than of more northern states with a
shorter productive season." says c. X.
McQuarrie of the University of Flor
ida extension division. $40 meet
these expectations and to realize our
full capabilities, we must look at our
farms more in the light of factories
for the production of crops than ever
before. We must keep our factories
running at full capacity.
Mr.. McQuarrie believes the Florida
farmer should not be satisfied with
two crops year, and he should not
be satisfied with four if the land will
produce five. The soil should be pre-
pared for the next crop as soon as
one has been removed, and little
care in making the seed bed and pro-
viding the necessary fertilizer will, if
the proper crops are planted, keep
the soil working thruout the entire
year.
Diversifcation should be given a
place in every farming prog ram. Be,
cause the soil has produced a good
crop of early corn is no reason for
replanting it Immediately to Mexican
or June corn. Give in rest; but
while it is resting, grow a crop of
legulIcs for hay and to build up the
soil. Right now, the corn fields are
ready to receive paintings Of peanuts
and cowpeas, or the early maturing
varieties of velvet beans. Even u
the beans do not mature, the soil vii
