AUsTRIA's POSITION.
Attitude of Dual Kingdom Over Sub
marine War Considered Vague.

Berlin. Feb. 2l.-While the official
text of the memorandum handed by
Ambassador Penfield to the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister is not
yet known here. the purpose of the
note apparently is well understood.
It is authoriatively stated that the
dual monarchy is one with Germany
in it's determination to carry out the
unrestricted submarine campaign, III
which it is already actively operating
in the Mediterranean blockade zone
It is confidently asserted that ~lus-
tria- Hungary will not recede in the
SLIGHTEST degree from the position
Jointly assumed with Germany.
Vienna, Feb. 21.--The inquiry OF
the United States regarding Austria
Hungary's attitude in connection with
Germany's submarine warfare is con-
sidered vague in official circles. 1t
Is stated that the reason for this Is
that the notes mentioned IN the
American communication were not
intended to tie the hands OF the Aus
fro Hungarian government in the fu-
ture but dealt entirely with cases
that had actually occurred.
London, Feb. 21.-Frederic c. Pen
field. American Ambassador at VI

fused she became unruly and tried to

of coal, distributed $4,000 to Gas com

The people of the United States
have always been prone and quick TO

most of it testhe advantage OF one
or the disadvantage Of another party.
Some leaders are happy even IN
their most; casual expressions. Lin

ONE DEAD, ANOTHER DYING
Score of Shots Fired in Battle Over
Mo,av FIR defense Of Bomb.

Money for Defense OF bcn'b.
Philadelphia, Feb. 20.-An uniden-
titled man is dead and another is IN
n serious condition as the result OF q
shooting Sunday night in harding
house at Ninth and FitZwater streets,
More than score of bullets were
fired in the melee, but when the 20
lice arrived only the dead man and
the wounded victim could be found.
The police are searching the .rty,
however, for. several men who are
said to have canvassed the Italian
colony last week. for funds with
which to defend man who was ar
rested several months ago in San
Francisco after a bomb had been hurl-
ed among preparedness paraders.
The unidentified dead man is about
so years old and is believed to have
lived in Wilmington. The man with a
bullet in his neck, who is in serious
condition in the Pennsylvania Hos
pital is Giuseppe Pelateri, sc years
old, of Sixth street, near Christian.
He made "a statement to Detectives
Gionetti and Robinson and put the
detectives on the trail Of the fund
collectors who are believed to KNOW
something of the shooting.
Pelateri declared he promised the
men 81 on his next payday, but that
lyast night he was asked to make
good the amount he had pledged. The
dying man made rambling state
ment, but the police believe an argu-
ment over the fund took place in the
boarding house and that stiiettos
were then drawn.

GERMAN FARMERS HOLD BACK.
Stronger Methods Threatened TO AID
Food Regulation.

Copenhagen, Feb. 21.-Advices
from Germany say the Government
is about to try new and stronger
methods to get from the agricultu-
rists the provisions now so urgently
needed for the armed force of the
country and to make the. population
live up to the food regulations for
the delivery of the meat, cheese, milk,
butter, eggs, potatoes and other pro-
ducts. s$$.
Large amounts of stocks intended
for local consumption heretofore have
been retained by the farmers FOR
thier own use, for sale at high prices
surreptitiously and direct to favored
customers, and On large scale for
feeding to cattle and swine, in def
ance of the prohibitions on their use
as fodder.
Vice Chancellor Helffericl1, speak
ing at a meeting of the Agricultural
Council in Berlin, appealed to the
farmers, saying it was their patriotic
duty to turn over everything beyond
the absolute minimum for their own
requirements to general use.
He gave strong reminder that
those not doing so were helping Ger
many's enemies, and he announced
that new organization was being
perfected to take this matter in hand.

NOW FOR BRIDGES?
THIRD AND FIFTH IN LINE FOR
STRUCTURES
WouId Connect New School Grounds
With Fair Site to Make Drive
-Boulevarde Bridge ON
Vi Third?

With the locating of the new
$4,000 high school on North Elm
! agitation has commenced for new
bridge across Fifth street to connect
the grounds with the fair grounds
and make a drive through that part
OF town. The old Third street bridge
erected in 1885 will some day be
supplanted by a boulevarde struc-
ture and it is argued that all can be
done at once. 1t is not likely that the
old bridge can be moved. Salina s
boulevarde bridge cost $4,000 but
the stream is wider and the bridge
very beautiful Probably $4,000
would erect one on Third. The Fifth
street bridge could probably be built
Tor $500.
Those who favor bridges think
that the bonds should be voted early
so that the bridge at Fifth can be
completed by the time the school is
built.
Others think it would be advisable
