PARIS. May 21.-What is char
acterized as one of the most vital
steps toward the speedy recOnstruc-
ton of war-torn Europe is being
taken this week in the Inauguration
of the through, transcontinental
train service between Paris, Bel
grade and Bucharest by way of Pom
tarlier, Milan, Triest, Agram and
Vinkovce. This line would under
any ordinary circumstances be a
great boon to the traveller and to
the business man, but now, on the
eve of the signing Of peace, it is

That this railway avoids Germany
and undoubtedly will take away
much of the trade of the German
railways finds no adverse criticism
in Paris. The French are quite con-
tent to see the railways of their
late enemies lie dormant for a time.
Whether the new allied line will
ultimately become the great trade
artery for the continent, replacing
the German lines between the North
Sea ports and the East, is a matter
of much discussion. There IN ar
guments on both sides of the ques-
ton. Certainly it's immediate eff

German prospects. Whether there
is any sentiment in trade, which
will influence future developments,
remains to be seen.
The new service will provide

Paris and Belgrade three times each
week, according to present plans.
One train a week will go through to

SCIENTISTS TO MEET
At PASADENA IN JUNE
MAY VIEW ONE HUNDRED INCH
TELESCOPE ON MOUNT
WILSON

PASADENA. May 16.-Four hum
dred scientists from localities up
and down the Pacific coast will IL
semble here June 10 for the IN
nual summer session of the Pacific
division, the American Association
.or the Advancement of Science
The sessions will start June 10
and conclude June %. Day meet
ings will be held at the Throop, In
stitute of Technology and evening
meetings at a local hotel.
The assemblage of scientists will
meet in Pasadena OIL the invitation
of President James A. B. Scherer,
president of Throop Institute, the
invitation having been extended at
the last meeting of the scientists
held two years ago at Stanford uni
versity.
1t is possible that the big 100
inch reflecting telescope at the Car
negie Solar Conservatory on the
summit of Mt. Wilson rear here,
will be in readiness for the first
time when the scientists visit there
on one of the excursions which will
be a feature Of the convention.
The scientists also will visit Cata-
lima Island where excavations are
being made by fellow scientists of
the University of Chicago. A trip
to the Brea asphalt deposits, In
this section, also will be made.
Among the scientific societies
which will be represented at the
convention will be:
The Astronomical Society of the
Pacific. the western branch of the
American Seismological society. the
Western Society of Naturalists, Pa
cific branch of the Cooper Ornitho-
ogical club, Pacific branch of the
American Physical society, Ameri-
can Chemical society, Geological So
ciety of America and the Pacific

service between Paris and the Eng
lish Channel ports, England will
again be brought into close touch
with her eastern allies.
AS soon as possible the line will
be extended to Constantinople and
to Athens, but the running of trains
to these places now is impossible
owing to the destruction of rail-
ways during the war. 1t will take
several months to repair the dam
age. In addition, rolling stock is
very scarce. Even now it is neces-
sary to make a wide detour to get
to Bucharest from Belgrade.
While the transcontinental train
service will be important for relief
work and for traders who wish to
visit the East to re-establish COM
mercial relations, it is believed that
the steamship traffic will not be
materially affected by the innova-
ton. Goods will still continue to
pass through the Mediterranean as
of old.

Women's international conference
for permanent peace, the reply by
President Wilson to a message sent
him by the conference relative to
the modification of the peace terms.

technicalities of drafting the note.
Won Berchtold read the ultimatum.
Nobody objected. Count Tisza alone
wavered for a moment. The COM
plications which might threaten to
laffect the national problems of Hun
gary made him appear i'll at ease,
but he, too, finally gave his con-
sent.
"The note contained seventies.
1t was plain to everyone that the
monarchy would insist its %represen-
tatives be permitted to attend the
Belgrade investigation (of the Sara
jevo murder) because suspicion was
very pronounced that not only Pre-
mier Pachitch but the royal house
of Serbia was implicated in the as
sassination.
"'That the note should receive
| drastic formulation was to be ex-
| pected in view of the prevailing at
titude that the monarchy thus
broadly challenged could not do
otherwise than demand complete
satisfaction and a guarantee that
Serbian Vaccinations should stop
for good.
1.-The conference then proceeded
to give the ultimatum its final
textual formulation. The diplomats
present discussed this phase thor
oughly before two experts rendered
the note into the French language.
The soldiers present had no part in
the decision. The final official
version was once more read aloud
and the conference promptly adj
journed."
Nowak describes the scene in the
Schoenbrunn Imperial palace)
shortly after the conference as fol-
lows: 1.-THE old emperor for
a moment lost s~elf-control. He now
was fully aware that the monarchy
had been undermined and that its
fate was in the balance. He asked
Won Hoetzendorf concerning the
state of mobilization and whether
everything was in order. The chief
of staff treasured the aged mon
arch. Without outward sign OF
emotion, Francis Joseph, in the
presence of the foreign minister
signed the declaration of of war"
According to Nowak, he believes
that the men in the Ballhausplatz
actually expected the Belgrade gov
eminent would succumb to the Aus
tro-Hungarian bluff or that if it
resisted, the issue would be de-
cided by a swift military campaign
which would be carried out with
such speed as tt accomplish locali-
ration of the war and prevent other
European powers from intervening.

GOVERNOR OF ALASKA AND EN-
PLORER URGE DEvEL-
OPMENT

SEATTLE. Wash, 22.-Great
plains lying along the Arctic coast in
Northern Alaska and Canada soon
nay become Americas latest Cow
country" as Governor Thomas
Riggs, Jr., of Alaska, and Vilhjal-
mur Stefansson, Canadian explorer,
are advocating the transplanting and
developing of herds of musk oxen
into the now barren lands of the far
north.
A dispatch received here from Of
tawa said the Canadian government
may adopt Stefansson's proposal
that an experimental station be es-
tablished on Melville Island, which
lies in the Arctic west of the mouth
of the Mackenzie river. Stefansson
says there are about 1000 ken on
Melville Island.
Herds later would be moved from
Melville Island to the Canadian
mainland for breeding and slaugh-
tering, according to Stefansson. Lap
landers probably would be secured
as Cowboys to handle the herds.
Arthur Meighen, Canadian minis
ter of the interior, is favorably i'm
pressed with Stefansson's scheme, it
was reported. Stefansson recently
went before the Canadian parlia-
ment and told of his scheme for
demonstrating the oxen. He sug-
gested that reindeer also be i'm
ported.

oxen proposal have circulated a Pc

BERLIN, May 19.-The events
surrounding the drafting and dis
patching of the Austrian ultimatum
to Serbia which inaugurated the
world war are given their first am
p~lification in the forthcoming pub
LEGATION of the war recollections of
Conrad Won Hoetzendorf, the for
mer Austro-Hungarian Field Mar
shall.
The advanced proofs of the vol
ume which is entitled 1.-THE Road
to the Catastrophe" indicate that it
will prove a significant parallel to
General Lu~dendorff's memoirs be-
cause of it's dramatic and intimate
revelations of Austro-Hungarian di-
plomacy and war policies and be-
cause of the candor with which it
discusses Emperor Charles, the CO.
operation of the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian general staff, the re-
lations of the former Emperor Fran
els Joseph and the German Emperor
William, the social and political in
trigues of the Austrian Empress
Zita and the whole hierarchy of the
Austrian granddukes.
The volume is compiled by Karl
Nowak, an author and journalist
and formerly war correspondent of
the Cologne Gazette, who for two
years was assigned in a personal ca
pacity to Marshal Won Hoetzendorf's
headquarters. Nowak reported the
war on all the eastern fronts and
while his name nominally appears
on the title page, the volume is
kown to be Won Hoetzendorf's au-
thorized and personally revised rec
objections.
Discussing the events immedi-
ately following the assassination of
Archduke Frederick at Sarajeva, No
wax states that few, if any people
knew the plans of Count o Berch-
told, then Observation-Disclosures for

military officials were informed
nor was it known whether he was

lomatic circles a high as a result
of the murder" reads the memoirs.
Military leaders quoted o Molt-
ke's words, we know the catastro-
phe will come some day; the sooner
the better for u.s."
This was the situation Marshal
Won Hoetzendorf found on his re-
turn from a feigned holiday in the
Tyrol where he went after the kill
ing of the archduke at S~arajevo, in
order to create the impression that

HAS ONLY ONE HAND,
BECOMES GOLF STAR
WOUNDED BRITISH OFFICER
REGAINS SKILL WITH
CLUBS

DEL MONTE, Cal, May 16.-The
possibility of achieving athletic
success even under the handicap
of extreme physical disability is be-
ing demonstrated on the golf links
here by Captain F. A. Sutton. a
British army officer who lost a
hand in the great war.
Always a golf enthusiast ami
rated a first class player. Captain
Sutton had forever dismissed from
his mind the possibility of ever
being able to indulge in his favorite
game again. The possibility of at
least, amusing himself by one hand
ed putting occurred to the captain.
The experiment was a success and
he continued to improve in accuracy.
Incidentally he was Strengthening
his remaining hand and arm by
constant use.
1t was not long before he vas
trying out some of the other clubs
and, in the curse of a short time
he found himself going through
with his swing quite as he did In
the old days. Today, there is not
a club that Captain Sutton is not
able to manipulate and he is able
to go out and play a round with any
of his friends without asking any
thing in the way of a handicap adj
vantage. In fact he is considered
the marvel of the course, and al
ways attracts a gallery.
Recently he paired with Jack Ne
vile, former California State cham.
pion, and defeated another pair OF
excellent players. Captain Sutton's
work on the green was a distinctive
feature. In driving, approach shots
and putting, he quite held his W
both in the matter of distance and
accuracy. He has made a medal
O of "a owe the course which
is better than a large majority OF
players are able to accomplish. He
is considering entering a Decoration
Day tournament which is to be held

BUCKsKIN LEASE TO RESUME

Work is to be resumed n the
Halcyon lease on the Buckskin
National, in the National district in
Humboldt county. In earlier oper-
ations a crosscut tunnel was driven
1850 feet to cut the main vein and
it is expected this will enter the vein
within 40 feet. At 100 feet In the
tunnel a vein from four to 10 feet
wide and carrying gold was found.
The Halcyon lease is 5000 feet north
of the main workings of the Buck
skin National, where ore of mill
grade is exposed in quantity and
where ore assaying as high as $50 a
pound has been found.

the peace of Europe. Nowak de-
scribes the episode of the ultimatum
to Serbia as follows:
THE ministers were summoned to
Ballhausplatz (foreign office). Won
H%oetzendorf, then chief of the gen.
eral staff, was hurriedly recalled
from Tyrol where he was on leave
granted him after the Sarajevo
assassination. Count Won Berchtold
who conducted the deliberations
consulted the general in purely mill
tary matters. His opinion was
sought only in connection with the
military prospects. The diplomatic
situation was not mentioned nor
was any reference made either to
the Serbian ultimatum or to any
other ultimatum.
"von Hoetzendorf frankly an
alyzed every possible hostile con-
stellation and did not conceal his
conviction that the Austro-Hungar-
ion monarchy was unequal to the
demands of war on three fronts. He
referred to similar views previously
expressed in the preceding years, in
which he had pointed out exactly
such complications and entered upon
minute consideration of every
emergency growing out of a pos
sible International clash.
Count Won Berchtold asked
him whether the prospects for the
monarchy would improve in the
course of the next few years. Won
H~cetzendorf spoke of Hungarian OPP
position to huge armament credits
and the speed with which other ma
tions were arming. He declared that
he would be guilty of lying if he
said the chances of the monarchy
later on would be more suspicious.
On the contrary, he believed they
were bound to grow worse in the
face of the prevalent Discrimination
TO grant war credits and the grow
ing nationalistic propaganda His
advice represented the frank JudS-
ment of a military expert given
solely in reply to the minister's de-
mand. Count Won Berchtold sought
no further information and the con-
ference disbanded.
"For a decisive conference on the
ultimatum the ministers were sun
moned three days later to Count
Won Berchtold's residence. Emperor
Francis Joseph was not present but
Count Tisza. the Hungarian premier,
Count Won .Stuergk, the Austrian
premier, Marshal Won H~oetzendorf,
