AuStria's Reply Does
 Not Close the Door
Delays Temporarily the Break Which Has Been Regarded as
 Inevitable.

W Il not be inclined to force the issue Tor the present
 The truth is that Germany is credit ed here with trying to force Austria to 8 step which that country does not V ish to take. Germany naturally N ishes it is pointed out to have the complete moral support of her allies to the submarine campaign and Is using her great influence with Aus tria to that end
 Austria, therefore, Is placed in the delicate position of either sacrificing the manifest she receives from the continuance cf diplomatic relations with this country and of appearing not to fully support her ally As a re9glJ it is believed that she has made her rep,y to this country as strong an endorsement of Gefmany's position as possible without at the same time making it impossible for tine United States to continue the negotiations.
 This opinion is based not only on dispatches from Ambassador Penfieid at Vienna, but on the whole length and spirit of the Austrian note.

LATEST MEANINGS
IN OUR NEW BOOK
Fashions Change in Use of
English Words as in
Goats Men Wear
DICTIONARY HAS LATEST
Words and Descriptive Mat
ter Grouped and Arranged
in Departments

The words a man speaks are like
the coat he wears-fashions change
both. Ever since dictionaries were
nrst made words have taken on
meanings that changed, until often
the definition came to be almost
dlametrically opposite what it was
when the word first came into cont
mon use. Therefore, the man who
uses an old dictionary is likely to
employ the word nowadays in a
wrong sense. He is like the man
who wears a coat of the fashion oil
1860, except that there is some ex-
cuse for the latter, while there is
none for the former.
An authoritative lexicon is within
the reach of all, and to insure its
readers of getting the latest and best,
this paper has undertaken to dis
tribute the New Universities as wide
ly as possible. The cost is insignifi-
cant compared with the service thus
provided-only SO cents in cash and
one dictionary coupon clipped from
this paper. For the further conven-
ience of readers, these coupons and
this small fee may be mailed into the
otfice, provided sufficient postage is
included to pay for the cost of mail
ing the dictionary These easy condi-
tions make 1t possible for everybody
to share in the distribution.
During the years past dictionaries
have multiplied until their number
reaches bewildering total. AS time
passes they present definitions that
are out of date. Out of this need
has grown the New Universities.
1t compares the most authoritative
definitions of all, and includes many
features that are not found in any
of the others. An examination will
convince the investigator of this fact.
The latest meanings in good usage
wherever the best English is spoken
are given. Leading authorities have
combined their efforts to make this
leader in it's class.
It is compact, serviceable volume
of some 1900 pages, well indexed,
and its contents are made readily
accessible through special subdivis-
ions. in which groups of words in a
certain field or descriptive matter
covering a particular subject are
given.
