The young people rushed cheering out -Into the street, while the old men remained for a while in their places in quiet ecstacy. ITALY TO RECEIVE COPPER Bryan Says Satisfactory Arrange- ment "With Britain Is Near, WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. Representa tives of Western copper-producing in terests who called on Secretary Bryan today were informed that an " under standing was -being framed between the United States and Great Britain with every indication of success, where by American copper -would be allowed to be transported to Italy without detention. Most American copper is shipped "to .order or consigned directly to bel ligerent countries. Consequently the British government, which already had declared copper contraband, asserted the right to seize it. The nature of the understanding which has been reached between, the British government and Italy, which will permit the resumption of the American copper trade with Italy, is not disclosed, but it is under stood at the State Department that the British are satisfied with the guaran tees which tha Italian government wtTI extend that the copper will not reach Germany or Austria if allowed to enter - - - ' ?

Subscription of City of Vienna Comes Chiefly from Municipal Sav ings Institution Postal De posits Are Used. VENICE, Nov. 28r-(Correspondenee of The Associated Press.) Extraordin any efforts are being made to insure the successful flotation of the new war loans in Austria-Hungary. All classes of people .are urged to partial-, pate in them. In the first two days after the lists were opened nearly ?150, 000,000 was subscribed. The Emperor took from his private purse $2,000,000, investing the sum equ ally in the Austrian and Hungarian loans. This is the first time that the monarch has ever contributed openly to such a state fund. The clergy was directed to preach from the pulpits that it was not only the duty of every patriotic citizen to subscribe, but also that the loans offered a most remunera tive and secure investment. As proof of their confidence in the security, high ecclesiastical dignitaries have sub scribed many millions. One archdiocese alone subscribed nearly a million dol lars. Cities Invest Their Fonda. Public bodies also came forward readily. The city of Vienna has in vested five million dollars and all through Austria and Hungary the local authorities seem to have put up all their available fluid assets. The banks too have taken many millions mora one Vienna bank alone investing four millions. All this has only been brought about by bringing an enormous amount of pressure to bear in all directions. It is said that the government com pelled the banks to use their influence to get money from large depositors. When any of these objected on the score of requiring the money to carry on business, the bank told them they could always have an advance on the security of the war loan stock. It Is openly declared that the subscription of the city of Vienna will come chiefly from the depositors in the municipal savings banks. Objections 3Vot Expected. The postoffice savings bank,,, too, has been doing its utmost to get at the depositors, offering special facili ties for investments in the new loans of sums as low as a fraction under five dollars. Many thousands business men have special checking accounts with the postoffice bank and each- of them is required to deposit a hundred crowns $20. as caution money. The bank has given notice that these moneys, aggregating two million four hundred thousand dollars, will be taken for the war loan unless notice of ob- 1HL ULULM K.L1A.B1.

Compulsory military education for students was condemned in the report of the Uni versity of Wisconsin survey, conducted by William H. Allen, of New York. "The same time devoted in teaching the arts of peace and efficient citizenship would do more to advance the interests of the state," reads the report. It also was urged that non-residents of the state should be discouraged from coming to the university, as their lavish habits were declared to have bred ex travagance among other students. The report recommended that no non-resident student be permitted to spend more than $600 a year on his expenses. The report also criticised the uni versity for accepting aid from the Carnegie Foundation for pensioning in structors. Acceptance of foundation help took away the university's Inde pendence, the report declared. LOSS IS EVENLY DIVIDED British Have 1058 Officers Killed, 2071 , Wounded, 0O2 Missing. LONDON, Dec. 9.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3 9. British as well as German certificates of safe conduct now are required for ships carrying relief supplies to Belgium, the Ameri can Commission for Relief in Belgium announced today. As early as a month ago, the com mission said, the activities of Germali submarines in the North Sea caused the commission to adopt a special flag' and banner, which had to be prominently displayed.on every part of the ship. Then it became necessary to obtain in the United States a certificate from the collector of each port of sailing that the cargoes of . commission ships were destined to Belgium and con tained nly relief cargoes. It was nec essary also to obtain from the German Consul in such port an additional cer tificate which became part of the ship's papers. Kew ResnUtion Announced. That new regulations must in future govern ships of the commission was the information which came to Landon W. Bates, vice-chairman of the com mission, today in the following cable message from H. C. Hoover, chairman of the London commission: "Admiralty Informs us that unless steamers and cargoes are consigned to us at Rotterdam, we must expect that they will be held up on voyage, pos sibly for days.

"Hereafter please apply yourself to the British Consul at each port of sail ing for certificates to the effect that ships are complete cargoes consigned to this commission- and inform all parties that neither we nor the British Admiralty will take responsibility for any other form of shipment.
