AUSTRIA

Washington. Nov. 4---Austria-
Hungary, the last and most powerful
ally OF Germany passed out Of the
word-w today under terms of alb
ject surrender.
Not only have the armed forces Of
the once powerful Austro- Hungarian
empire laid down their arms to await
the end of the war and peace terms
dictated by the Allies and the United
States but Austro- Hungarian terri
tory is open for operations against
Germany. Even the munitions Of the
former ally are to be used against the
kaiser's armies if refusal to accept
conditions now being prepared for
them makes prolonged lighting nee
eSsary.
The terms which stopped the vic
torious advance on the Italian front
were accepted by the Austrian COM
mander- in chief in the field in the
name of the Vienna government and
their execution is guaranteed by the
thorough beating already administer
ed which had converted the defeated
army into a. disorganized, fleeing
horde.
Even the terms imposed previously
upon Bulgaria and Turkey were not
so drastic In addition to all of the
military precautions the Austrians
are compelled to retire from a wide
strip Of territory within the borders
of their empire when the war began,
surrendering all of Italian Irredenta
and thereby losing any advantage for
argument over boundaries around the
peace table.
A map survey of the geographical
Ii les fixed for Austrian excavations
SHOWS that the area is even greater
than that set by the Italians as the
goal of their ambition when they en-
tered the war. The question of final
disposition of the territory involved
is left to be settled at the peace
table.
Washington. Nov. 4.-Terms Of

day simultaneously in Washington

A strong committee was appointed at the last session with instructions to bring in proposition for the proposed new system of taxation and disbursements, one that would see to it that the in come is not smaller than the outgo at the state treasury. At the same time state tax commission was appointed With orders to equalize assessments and make taxes bear upon the rich and the poor alike, to see that no property escaped taxation at it's full value. This commission has been working diligently, but has met strong opposition from boards of supervisors of the several counties and from large land owners. It was found that lands worth S100 per acre were on the assessment rolls at $5 to $7, and these have been raised to $50 or $60. Such increases in valuations raised a great howl, as a matter of course, though these figures are not more than half the 100 per cent valuation ordered by law.
 Efforts are going to be made to abolish the state tax commission, but it is not believed it will succeed Gov ernor Bilbo shows that while valua-

Literary Taste in Cigar Factory

Arthur Barrett Maurice in Harper's
 Magazine
 In the cigar or cigarette factories, what impressed the scribe most was not the little brown man rolling deft- ly with his fingers, but the voice from the gallery above, the voice of the paid reader, translating the news of the European war or declaiming a chapter from a book by Victor Hugo. For three hours every day this read ing goes on, half he time being given to newspapers, and the other half to fiction. The choice of reading is not left to the reader, but is gov erned by a ballot system. The tobacco workers elect among themselves a president, secretary and treasurer. The workmen contribute the fund which pays the readers salary. The selection of novels is a deliberate process. The reader judges the period required for a certain book and few days before he is to finish one the. secretary holds an election determin9 what novel should be taken up next. As many as 50 different novels may be proposed at one of the elections, but the choice usually centers on three or four of wide note. Some years ago sentiment in one of the factories was divided between Quo Vadiso" and "Pere Co., riot" Finally, Sienkiewlcz's book was chosen by 1S0 votes to 15O. But most often the choice falls on modern nov els, preferably those by Spanish writers. No year passes in any Ha- vana factory, it is said, without a reading of Don Quixote." Among Eng fish novels read are Vanity Fair.'' "Oliver Twist" "A Tale of Two Cities" and some of the smelodramatic stories of Wilkie Collins and Hugh Conway Some of the English poets are favorltes, in particular Byron. Only one American book has ever had re- peated reading in Havana cigar fac tories, and that fell into disuse about 20 years ago It was Uncle Toms Cabin" Victor Hugo is an unfailing favoritc.
