AUSTRIAN BREAK
APPEARS CERTAIN
Vienna Note Holds Out Little
if Any Hope Rupture
Averted.
SHIPS PIRATES

Washington, March 6.-Austria's
note. declaring adhesion to the gen
eral principles Of unrestricted sub
marine warfare, holds out little. il
any. hope that break between the
United States and the Vienna govern
ment may be avoided. 1t was consid-
cred probable that the course of the
United States toward Austria might,
tentatively at least, be determined at
today's cabinet meeting
Austria's efforts to substitute for
the individual warning every merchant
ship is entitled by international law
to receive before being torpedoed a
general warning to all vessels not to
enter barred zones cannot be accepted
by this government. Furthermore.
the United States contends now and
always has contended that neutrals
aboard enemy merchant ships are en-
titled to safety.
One portion OF the communication
which undoubtedly will not meet with
the approval of the United States is
that having to do with defensively
armed merchant ships. Austria's
declaration that armed merchantmen
ARE to be regarded as pirate vessels,
which may be destroyed" was re-
garded as being especially significant
in view Of the intentions of the
United States regarding armament for
its merchant shipping.
At the last moment. however. to-
days cabinet meeting was abandoned
and the Austrian reply will be taken
up at the meeting on Friday. Mean
while the president and Secretary
Lansing will have opportunity to &c
over it in detail.

HEADQUARTERS OF
WELLS FARGO HERE
New Alignment Will Mean the
Addition of Twenty-Five
Families to Omaha.
NOW SEEKING QUARTERS

The Inauguration of through car
service from New York City TO San
Francisco by the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company means much more to
Omaha than the mere fact that in
going back and forth from coast to
coast the cars will pass through this
city. 1t means that Omaha is to be
made the headquarters of what is to
be known as the Overland division,
extending from Chicago to Ogden.
The working details have all been
arranged and not later than April
the Omaha headquarters will be in
operation. The Offices will be moved
from Des Moines here.
Establishment of headquarters in
Omaha means the addition OF popu-
lation close to 100 persons. In the
offices there will be employed some
thirty clerks, most of whom are mar
ried men. In addition, this will be
the end of the run of eight of the
messengers, most of whom are mar
ried men.
Seeking Quarters.
The location of the division head
quarters has not been settled upon,
but will be within the next six or
eight days. Several locations are un-
der consideration, but SO far the diff
ticulty has been to secure sufficient
floor space where the rooms are ad-
joining or on the same floor. To
accommodate the officials and clerks
at least space of $500 square feet
is required.
The through express service to the
coast was started a few days ago
and is asserted to be working well,
though some of the details have not
been fully completed. For instance,
when the service is complete the
through trains, one each day daily
will operate between New York and
Chicago over the Erie; between Chi.
cago and Omaha, over the Milwau.
kee; between Omaha and Ogden, over
the Union Pacific, and between Og.
den and San Francisco, over the Cen.
trail Pacific.
When permanent arrangements
relative to train service are COM
pleted the train between Chicago and
Omaha will be made up entirely OF
express cars, but with a sleeper at.
tached for carrying through pas
Sengers.

MAYOR FAYORS
MILITARY TRAINING
National Security League is
Sounding Sentiment Of Va
rious Parts of Country.
GREAT EDUCATIONAL VALUE

The National Security league is
making canvass OF the country, sub.
hitting to the mayors a QUESTIONABLE
on their personal opinions and the
general sentiment of their cities on
the subject OF universal military train
ing.
The league wishes to know whether
the subject has been discussed i'll
Omaha, whether the city would in
dorse its senator and congressman
for voting for universal military train
ing, whether there are any emphatic
advocates or opponents in Omaha and
whether there have been any express
sions OF opinion as between the six
months training proposed in the
Chamberlain bill and the eleven
months planned in the general staff
bill.
Mayor Dahlnan emphatically in
dorses universal military training. On
this subject he said:
Il am strong in my advocacy OF
universal military training for six
months. 1t is my firm belief that
more than half OF the people of
Omaha favor this training and would
indorse our senator and congressman
if they should vote for such meas
ure. also realize there are many
opponents and some who are strong
in their opposition. 1t has been a
regret that l did not have military
training whren was a youth. Such
training is of inestimable value to
every young man. 1t is OF great edu-
cational value"

regard moral training OF the young to

Referring to the school system over

cigarets, although some of the men
did look at me rather suspiciously,
said the Chicago woman.
Miss CASTOR said the evidence
which she secured here will be placed
in the hands of local people who are
interested in the enforcement of the
cigaret law.
She is tall woman, wearing a
black hat and of severely plain an
