WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. The full text f Austria-Hungary's second note to the United States on the subject ' of shipments of munitions by American tirms to Great Britain and her allies has been received in this country. It i'iuwi;iijiy coniorms to cable turn- wanes. -Austria s main this: argument is "The imperial and royal government has in no way pleaded in favor of the jriuipie or -equalization As a mat ter of fact it did not base its --.,. tion concerning the exportation of war materials on the fact that it was not ... vmiuuu iLsen 10 import war ma terials irom tne United States of Amer. ica; even if both groups of belligerents were to share in the supply of war materials from the United States of """""i imperial and royal gov ernment would, nevertheless, miintiin that the excessive exportation of war materials would be objectionable. Creation of New Plants Protested. "The imperial and royal governmen never thought of BUKKestir.fr that h cause Austria-Hungary cannot procure materials irom tne territories of one neutral power, this disadvinun should be balanced by prohibiting the mat neutral power to carry on a normal trade in contraband with the enemies of the dual monarchy. It however, did protest against the crea tion of new and the extension of exist ing plants for the purpose of manufacturing- and exporting: war materials to such an extent that the economic life of the United States has practically so to say, become militarized if one van use a word that has been . often wrongly applied. i concentration or a large part " jiiuenuin wonting power toward one goal, namely, the supply of muni tions of war, constitutes a 'fait nou veau' which invalidates any reference to allegedly similar cases in other wars; whether intended or not thu concentration! of the national working vcr uunsututes a one-Kiceii .kwA ef fective support of one grou., ,ilig erents, all the more conspicuous since not even non-contraband goods are supplied from the United States to the other group of belligerents. Former War Comparisons Rejected. "A comparison with the former wars is all the more out of place, since those wars were waged between two single powers, or at least between groups of a few powers only. When munitions of war from one neutral country were supplied to one belliger ent tinly, it was then possible for the latter's enemies to apply to other neu tral countries. In the present war however, the United States of America is the only power that can be effect ively considered for such supplies. This .. muoLaiiuo lurtner contributes to give to the exportation of munitions of war from the union a different and far more serious character than the exportation of contraband has ever had in the past. "Since these various facts, unfore seen before, have become clearly mani fest in the course of the present war only, the Austro-Hungarian govern ment thinks it is ! us titled to hold the opinion that, in accordance with the last paragraph of the preamble of the XIHth convention, they should consti tute a sufficient reason for modifying the regulations that govern the trade in contraband in the United States. "The absolute and strict impartiality which the Washington Cabinet is anxious to observe, and, therefore, the abstaining of any direct or indirect assistance and support of one betllger ent, are undoubtedly the right of a neutral power. If experience should teach that an embargo in any direc tion should in the course of the war become necessary to that end, then the power concerned is justified to moauy its xormer policy of applying neutrality. Power of Enforcement Asserted. "The suggestion of the Imperial and royal government concerning the sup Ply of foodstuffs and raw materials waa likewise not based on the assump tion that a neutral government "would be bound to compensate the advan tages attained by one belligerent over the other by a system of non-intercourse with the former. The note of June 29 makes it clear that this sug gestion was made solely for the pur pose of pointing out to the Washing ton Cabinet which had declared that, as a consequence of the situation cre ated by the war. it had become im possible for the United States of Amer ica to maintain Its trade relations with the central powers, that it is within the power of the Federal Government to enforce such a possibility of trade relations. "As a matter of fact, the trade be tween America and Austria-Hungary, at least with regard to non-contraband goods, has not been stopped by the naval successes of Great Britain and her allies, but by the unlawful decisions taken by the entente powers which, as the imperial and royal government has riot called to learn, are also considered as unlawful by the Government of the United States of America. Modifications Are freed. "It is not contended that were the Washington Cabinet to fall in with the views of the imperial and roval government the trade relations of the United States of America with both groups of belligerents would be less unequal than they are at present. "The Imperial and royal government believes that an argument could all the less be therefrom derived against a suggestion admitted by a neutral rower as justified from the point of view of neutrality and otherwise, since the Washington Cabinet certainly will not consider it as a duty of a neutral pewer to render its situation toward both belligerents as unequal as pos sible, or when such a state of in equality, exists to undertake no steps whatever with a view to modify it Stamps Failure us Currency.

CRISIS AT LEAST DELAYED New Prime Minister, M. Skonlondis, Regarded as Favorably Disposed Toward Quadruple Entente. All Take Office. ATHENS, via Paris, Nov. 7. Skouloudis, commissioned by King Con stantino to form a new Cabinet, has ac complished the task. All the mem bers of the Zamais ministry are re tained excep.t the Premier himself. The new Prime Minister has taken the portfolio of foreign affairs. The formation of the new Cabinet, it is generally assumed, will delay, if not eliminate, the crisis which probably would follow dissolution of the Cham ber of Deputies by the King. Ministers Take Oath. The Cabinet is composed of the fol lowing ministers, who took the oath of office today: Premier and Minister of Foreign Af fairs, M. Skouloudis. Minister of Public Instruction, M. Michelidkis. . - - Minister of Justice and Communica tions, D. G. Rhallis. Minister of Interior, M. Gounaris? Minister of National Economy, M. Thetokis. Minister of War, General Tanakitsas. Minister of Marine, Admiral Coun touriotls. , Minister of Finance, Stephen Dragou mis. Besides the Premier M. Michelidkis is the only new member of the Cabi net. The office he takes formerly waa held by M. Theotokis, who becomes Minister of National Economy, a new post. Press Opposes Dissolution. The press urges the advisability of going on without a dissolution of Par liament and new general elections. ' M. Skouloudis is not a deputy, but is registered as an able diplomat, known chiefly for the part he played in the London peace conference in 1913. after the Balkan war. He was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Rhallis Cab inet in 1897. He is reputed to be fav orably disposed toward the quadruple entente. BOARD TO PASS ON BUDGET School Directors May Meet Today to Consider Items Passed. As the school law requires that first publication of the school budget be made November 10, the members of the board will have to meet either today or tomorrow to approve the items passed by the joint committee last Fri day. As the budget now stands there will be a probable levy of 6.S mills, a levy that will give to the district, upon the valuation of school property as closely as can be ascertained at' present, ap proximately f 1.925. 000. - The budget wilt. comply with the provisions of the Bingham law, as in terpreted by Tax Commissioner Gallo way, requiring that any levy shall not exceed the maximum of the preceding two years, plus an increase of ( per cent.

LORRAINE GIRL PUNISHED References to Prussian Soldiers as "Bodies" Construed as Insult and Sentence or Impris onment Imposed. BERLIN. Oct. 15. After two sensa tional trials, the first of which re sulted in a conviction. Professor Dr. Oscar Vogt, director of the royal neuro- biologicai institute and one of the moat distinguished scientists of Ger many, has been acquitted of the charge of "gross nuisance," in that lie spoke in French on the street, and assaulted Pastor Kettner when the latter pro tested against the use of the foreign tongue. The facts concerning the alleged as sault, even at the first trial, . soon faded into the background, and the whole issue hinged on the question ol whether or not a court would rule for or against the public use of French. Justice Weetermann, in deciding for Professor Vogt, declares that no nuisance has been committed, that Pro fessor i ogt did not speak French with the intention of Insulting or hurting tne feelings ol anyone, and that he bad the right to assume that those whom he might meet "carry patriotism iu their heart, not on their tongue." The conviction and sentence to five months' imprisonment of Cabriele Barthel, a Lorraine girl, for having in sulted the Prussian army by referring to its members as "boches," has aroused an even greater wave of discussion that gradually has extended all over Ger many. . . Legal lights even have been called upon to render an opinion as to whether- the" word "boche" really is an insult or not, and the answer with out exception, backed up by judicial decisions. Is that the spirit In which it is uttered determines the innocence or guilt of the speaker. Judge Horch. of Mayence. has been appealed to for a decision regarding the word, and from a variety of prece dents, largely French, he unhesitating ly declares it is an insult, even though its Inherent meaning be not bo.

It has al ways been so in Prussia: and since Ger man unification in 1871 that description applies to the whole of Germany. One of the most extraordinary phenomena in connection with this ferocious war is the unanimous opinion among Ger man scholars, historians, statesmen and diplomats that as was lately said to me in a letter from a German friend "We Germans are just as free as you Americans are." They really believe that. This unanimous opinion is a com plete demonstration of the effect of the autocratic government which has long existed in Germany on the spirit and temper of the German people as a whole. They do not know what po litical and social liberty is. They have no conception of such liberty as we enjoy. They know nothing at all about the liberty that England has won through Parliamentary government, through party government. Their com plete ignorance on that subject is the explanation of the fatal ' mistake the German government made in going to war last Summer before they knew what England was going to do, or could do. The German government be lieved thoroughly that in the existing condition of party government in Eng land, with the Ulster disturbance un settled and the trades union difficul ties on hand. England not only would not go to war. but could not. One could not have a better illustration of the complete ignorance of the German people as to what political and social liberty is.

GREAT MILITARY LEADERS Present War Has Not Produced Grant, Lee or Lincoln. Worcester (Mass. Post. Lord Northcliffe In a recent statement admitted frankly that the present Eu ropean war had not produced a Lin coln, Grant, Lee or Jackson. He laid, particular stress upon the fact that the Civil War had produced more than one military genius and that the European war in this respect as yet bad been bar ren. Curiously enough, the two Generals who are receiving the greatest -praise on the sides of the allies are noted for their masterly retreats. It was for this that Joffre received great praise and so it is now that Grand Duke Nicholas, extricating the Russian forces In their backward -movement, is acclaimed. Joflre without a doubt saved Paris from investment. The Grand Duke's strategy saved the Russian forces from annihilation.. Both these Gen erals at previous times were likewise successful in attacking, but they have been bound hand and foot by the lack of ammunition. On the side of the Germans, the Gen erals who have obtained greatest fame are Von Hlndenburg, Von Kluck, Von Mackensen and Von Bulow. Each in his turn has been amazingly success ful, but each has been backed by an army superior to that of the enemy, and it remains to be seen whether any one of them will take rank with Grant or Lee. The evidence indicates that the wars of today and tomorrow will not be won by individual strategic accomplishment. Munitions and preparedness are the greatest captains. The battles that America will fight in the future are be ing won or lost today in the American arsenals and munition factories, in the limitations upon the standing army, in the nature of the coast defenses and in the manner In which Congress pro vides for a greater Navy.
