Austria's Break With u. S.
Upheld by Vienna Press
By .4stocfated Prets

Amsterdam, April IL. - The rup-
ture of diplomatic relations between
a-Hungary and the United
States is declared by the Vienna news
papers to be a logical consequence of
the state of war between the United
States and Germany. Austria Hun
gary and Germany are at one in all
things, the newspapers insist and all
Attempts to cause the former to as
sumo a different attitude are in vain.
they declare.
In general the rupture of the
friendly relations which have lasted
for more than century between Aus
tria-Hungary and America is regretted
by the press of the Austrian capital,
which incidentally expresses the view
that the Austro- Hungarian aide me-
moire which followed the American
inquiries regarding Austria's position
on submarine warfare contained many
hints for the maintenance of peace.

MANIA FOR BURIED TREASURE
Seekers of Wealth Always at Work on
Sunken Spanish Vessels Along
European Coast.

! There have always been treasure
seekers diligently endeavOring to dis,
cover and bring to light the wealth
hidden by their predecessors. Only a
few years ago a princess of the royal
blood of Britain was seeking for gold
in the depths of the sea. She-it was
the Princess LOuise-had the right to-
the hulks of the vessels of the Inflated
Spanish Armada, which went down off
the Isle of Null during their scared
and hurricane-driven flight round the
British isles. She had little more luck
than her ancestors, who had been
working at that treasure-trOve since
the seventeenth century, for only a
few old cannon and a small number of
coins were brought to the surface.
In the days when Drake sailed the
seas a Spanish galleon always meant
plenty of gold to the British sailor,
and romance and tradition have taken
nothing from their luster, so that
wreckers and treasure-hunters are
practically always at work at some
one or other of the ancient Spanish
wrecks that lie all round the coasts of
Europe.
1t is not generally known that when
Queen Victoria died she left to the
Princess Beatrice her rights to the
gold in the ships of the Spanish Ar
mada lying at the bottom of the Eng
lish Channel. How rich a trOve that
is may be judged from the fact that
lOngshOremen all along the south coast
make a practice of seeking for the
coins that a SOu'-wester drives on to
the beach out of these same vessels.

FIRST RED CROSS XMAS TO
Be OBSERVED THIS YEAR
A SEASON WHEN WE MUST THINK
OF OUR SOLDIERS AND THE WAR
Active Campaign for Ten Million New
Members to be Made During the
Week Preceding Christmas

Something has happened. A simple
and thrilling thing that brings some
thing of real greatness to our lives,
humble as they maybe.
1t is the observance of our first Red
Cross Christmas. One cannot have
even the thought of its appropriateness
and its significance in tbis world of
anguish without having touched the
highest thoughts to all the world-that
which was given on the birthday we
are celebrating-"B Behold, l bring
you good tidings of great joy which
shall be to all people,; and that
which was expressed in the Red Cross
Treaty made by nations, which es-
tablished that in warfare the sick and
wounded of the enemy should be sacred
to the Red Cross.
This Is Christmas when we can
not see our new young soldiers, strong
and straight of back, without vision
ing those others whom war has made
helpless. We cannot see the happi-
ness of our children without thinking
of those little ones in Europe who
have starved to death. Perhaps we
cannot deck our childrens' Christmas
trees without remembering that He
IN whose honor they are was a "msn
of sorrows and acquainted with
grief"
In the Red Cross campaign for 10,
900, 600 new members during the
week preceding Christmas there is
scope for all our tenderness, all our
richest imaginings, all our newborn
power of simplicity of heart, all our
possibilities of service.
The Red Cross Chapters have asked
all members of the American Red
Cross to take part in a simple cere-
mony on Christmas Eve-the placing
of lighted candle in the window
shining through Red Cross service
flag on the window pane. This flag
is a piece of white transparent paper,
blue-bordered. with the sign of the
Red Cross, five inches square in the
center, and smaller crosses to be added
for each of the household who is a
member of the Red Cross. 1t is an
expression of service in this unexam-
pied time-s symbol so instructive
that the Red Cross will glow from
the windows Of our homes over the
length and breadth of the land, send
