ed Mrs. Ragsdale No. 2, of Hot
Springs, Ark. However, the wit
ness was not introduced as Mrs.
Ragsdale, but as Mrs. Alfred
Clifford Burton, Perry Burton be-
ing the name Ragsdale assumed
when he disappeared from Omega
Jan. |, 1916.
Mrs. Ragsdalc No. occupied

parently greatly relieved when
allowed to quit the stand.
Pitiful Story Touched Her
The story told by Mrs. Perry
Burton Ragsdale includes her
meeting with Ragsdale at the
home OF her father a week after
he lett this section in Hot
Springs. He introduced himself
as Burton and had been invited
to the home of the witness by a
sister who had met him at a
dancing class.

Shipments of Ore and FOOD.

Completely Stopped
Dutch Ships to Unload
They Will Carry Supplies
From u. S. for Holland
and Belgium

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Under the
new agreements between the United
States and the North European neu-
trails, by which the American export
bars are lowered, and neutral merchant
ships now idle in port return to active
service, the neutrals will be supplied
with the necessaries of life, according
to their needs 1t will be give and
take proposition, and concessions viii
be made by both sides.
The Dutch ships now in harbor on
this side of the Atlantic will discharge
their cargoes, much of which is grain
which has deteriorated almost to the
point of decay.
Holland and the Scandinavian coun-
tries undertake, so far as possible, to
curtail their exports to Germany Of
iron ore, meat, fish, dairy products
and fats, and have agreed that nothing
sent by the United States will be re-
exported in kind or used in the place
of material sent into Germany.
Members of the Swedish mission and
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, representing the
Nome gians, called at the State Depart
ment to-day and reached an under
standing which, while far from meet
ing all of the demands of either
side, was acceptable to both. Strong
concentrations were made by the neu--
trails showing the impossibility OF
shutting off at once all exports to Ger
many. -.
Denmark's position is extremely Diff
fcult owing to her geographical situa.
ton. but hardly more so than that OF
Holland, through whose ports must go
all supplies for Belgium. 1t has been
pointed out that the Rotterdam dock
workers would hardly relish unloading
ships for Belgian relief while they and
their families had not enough to eat
Foodstuffs as well as other com

Austrian Peace Tale
Denied by u. S.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The State
Department denied to-day that this
government had any knowledge of a
peace proposal by Austria by French
and British statesmen, as alleged in a
statement BY Emperor Charles of Aus
tria.
The Emperor's assertion that the
81 .psburg and Hohenzollern houses
were more closely united than ever
was accepted by Entente diplomats as
new evidence of the military and
political solidarity of the Central En-
pires which sweeps away the hope. held
responsible for our failure to recog-
rize a state of war with Austria. that
the latter might be persuaded to de-
sert Germany.
This impression, however. has not
lately been entertained, and it Us
thought by some that the principal OBJ
lection to a formal recognition Of war
with Austria is the fact that it might
involve a partial recognition Of the
territorial aspirations of Italy which
"have put on loLg pants since 1914"
