creased.

special celebration to be held by the
patriotic citizens of Cambridge City.

chased a bond. to full realization OF
their patriotic duty. All committees,
in towns and townships. are to be
active on that day; the banks will be
open to receive subscriptions for bonds

those who have not made purchase

The woman who has been "left be-
hind" is registering for war service.
She Is not content with having given
her son or husband or brother to her
country, but she wishes to give her
own services. 1t Is the women who
wears the service pin who Is most
eager to sign the registration card
for war work.
The registration of women for war
service Is as interesting a study In
democracy as was the registration OF
men for military duty.
The Italian woman, with q shawl
over her head. comes to the registra-
ton booth, and asks to register. She
is not sure what 1t is all about, hav.
ing an imperfect understanding Of
English, but her children who are in
school told her 1t was the thing to do.
She wants to serve her country. which
is America. The women register her
for domestic and Red Cross work.
After her comes a girl just out of
college, pretty intelligent, willing to
serve.

II want to do anything. and I want
to do it right away" she says. "The

Then there is a little woman from

AUSTRIANS STILL
HOSTILE AGAINST
new MINISTER
Government Is Informed of
Anxiety which Holds the
Masses.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The stir
which the retirement OF Count Czernin
caused among the Germans of Austria
is not lessening, according to an Of
fetal dispatch from France today,
quoting various Austrian papers. The
parliamentarians have informed the
government of the anxiety which has
seized the masses of fAustria-Hungary,
and the dispatch says hostility
against the new minister, Baron Bu-
rian, is not lessening.
The Vienna Neue Erie Presse re-
calls the check which Baron Burian
suffered at the time of the negotia-
tions which preceded Italy's entrance
into the war, and adds:
1--WE do not wish to speak of mis-
takes concerning situation in which
the wisest of persons could not have
foreseen. but that diplomatic cam
paign is not sufficient title for n
statesman to become for the second
time minister of foreign affairs. It is
unparalleled in Austrian history. The
negotiations in process with Germany
concerning Poland, do not constitute
either any glorious claim for Baron
Burian. Austria desired a minister of
foreign affairs who would hear her
famished cry and would be her advo-
cate with Hungary when the food sup
ply is distributed and who would SYM
bolize the inner-harmony between our
allies"
The newspaper Reichspost is quoted
as follows:
Baron Burian's past. the fact that
his nomination was made on the in
fluence Of the Magyars, prevents us
from feeling confidence in the new
minister"
The Arbeiter Zeitung says:
Baron Burian Is the servant of
Tisza, who incarnates the principle of
reaction. His appointment constitutes
provocation to the democrats of
Austro-Hungary."

vital parts by the intervening struct-

the cruiser went up to the mole and

Holland if the comment Of Dutch
newspapers accusing the U. S. Of
duplicity in the condition that equal

Officials today expressed disap-

of the Dutch government to alleviate
suffering from a shortage of bread

to President Wilson's statement OF
March 20 when the Dutch ships were

grain would be provided for Holland
If ships we're sent to carry 1t.

sumed in sending ships from Holland

GERMANS TRY TO
PLACE HOLLAND
IN Their POWER
Situation Acknowledged Ser
ious by Dutch Demand Is
Made on Dutch Tonnage.
(By A Ssociated Press)

LONDON, April 24.-Relations be-
tween Germany and Holland are still
discussed in special dispatches from
Holland with the suggestion that the
situation Ia extremely serious, but no
one is able to give authentic details of
the alleged German demands.
The sand and gravel question takes
a prominent place in all the reports,
but some Of the correspondents write
Of several others. The correspondent
of the Times at The Hague mentions
among other things the reported de-
mand that Holland shall guarantee to
Germany a supply of raw materials
Immediately after the war, while GER
tain quantity Of Dutch tonnage is de-
manded for the same period.
1t is further suggested, the Times
adds, that the Germans expect to be
able to force Holland to accept such
conditions as would virtually compel
the entente allies to formally occupy
the Dutch colonies, which would throw
Holland completely into German hands.
There are no special indications Of
nervousness noticeable in The Hague
and the correspondent of the Times
says that reports such as the forego-
ing emanate solely from German
sources.

Weather Conditions Discouraqina

Everybody was discouraged when
Thursday morning dawned cold and
frosty. The weather was several de-
grees colder than it had been for a
day or two and the wind was so pene-
trating that degrees really meant
nothing anyway. Many complaints
were heard of pipes freezing every
night, now that the cold has crept into
avery nook and crevice of the houses
and the foreboding sky which prom
ised a storm was viewed with any
thing but complacency. At noon it
was eight degrees below zero on the
street and in spite Of that very low
figure. II began to spit snow, and the
wind blew with biting force.
About $50 1t began to snow in
earnest, and the wind had not abated.
1t was too cold to continue to storm
however and the evening was one of
the coolest and most disagreeable vet.
The wind made the cold almost un-
bearable after the snow stopped but
later it began to moderate and was
showing little late in the evening.

received il would be carried out, Lord
Rhondda warned his hearers that there

though the position would improve
steadily.
"There is nothing alarming in the
situation" he said. you have only to
tighten your belt. The people of this
country are undergoing nothing like
the rrivations in Germany. There they
have less than pound of meat a
