THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 26, 1918. DEFINITE ANSWER ON SINKING OF ANCONA DEMANDED BY U. S. Baron Zweidenek of Austria Refused Oral Discussion of Case by Secretary of State MUST GIVE ACCOUNTING YTalted State Throve Temporising1 la Busmaxlas lama and Will Bold to DenuLada. PUBLISHER COMES TO JOIN HIS WIFE "vVashlnfton. Pec. 25 (I. N. 8.) Kfforta of Haron 7.weldenk. Austrian charge, to at . Intermediary hftwpcn hl irovrnment and th I'nitnl flta-s In the critical Ancona situation, nmrh as Ambassador von Herr.siorff a.ctf-d for Germany durlnf th I,usltania ne e;otlatloni, have failed. It became known today that during their confer ence yeaterday Secretary of State Lan elna; told Baron Zweldenek that oral discussion of the Ancna cAe would not be acreptable to this irovernmeni. He said further that a prompt reply from Austria to the last note is de aired. Vuti Definite Answer. Secretary 1-a.r.plnfr took th cro ...1 that dlwcufcwion of the c from the charge on his own responsibility wo-iM vall nothing and that the I'nite'l States could be satisfied only with a definite answer Baron, Zweldenek, It was learned through diplomatic channels, made overtures to Secretary Lansing looking to oral discussion of the Ancona cat on the basis of giving guarantees of hi government as to future conduct. His idea In this, diplomats In touch with the negotiations declare, was to open a way for continued discussion of the Ancona case. Kmiohi An Given. This wouid be similar to the TAirM tanla cse, in which negotiations were prolonged by assurances given by Ger many last September that she would Adopt the principles set forth by the United States to govern future sub marine operations. Two views were expressed as to Secretary Ijanfinu's reasons for rejecting -offers of the Austrian charge to enter into oral dis cussion of tne case. One view held by thns who Insist! Y. w t - i . j r-. . 1 1 1 . - . T iui me l. miru oiaifs win siann ir revocably on Its demands upon Aus tria for disavowal of the act and pun ishment of the submarine commander, is that the L'nited States Is through temporizing on the submarine isfuc And Is prepared to hold Austria to full accountability. Optimistic Regarding- Break! The other view, which finds support In diplomatic circles. Is that Secretarv Lansing rejected Baron Zweldenek's overtures because the latter has not been given plenipotentiary powers to negotiate with the United States for a settlement of the Ancona case, as was Count von Bernstorff by the Ger man government during the Lusltanla crisis. Those holding this view take the hopeful attitude that the United States will not force a break In rela tions with Austria-Hungarla if that government backs down sufficiently to pave the way for further discussion. i jit ? ill V - v ' 515 ' i'vi , ; III - 4, - -. - t f III fM J , y'' ill I hlr ' : I the tre and making speeches of thanks and acceptance.

THOMPSON OPTICAL INSTITUTE 209-10-11 Corbctt Bid., 5th and Morrison. Manufacturers of the celebrated tryptok Glasses. What Alexander T. Moore Bays. Prosperity will be oat here in six weeks. Get buey and buy the things you want and need now. Prepare for peace; don't wor ry about war. Roosevelt will not run for president. A Republican will be the next occupant of the White House. We need a protective tariff. Alexander P. Moore, publisher of the Pittsburgh Leader, who was In Port land yesterday to spend Christmas with his wife, Lillian Russell, the fa mous singer, Bees prosperity headed Pacific coeistwards with the speed of a transcontinental express. "Good times have spread all over the e-a!t and fhev n re he.iftrt thi n-iw ' declared Mr Moore. "Why, factories back there are turning out so much stuff that the railroads can t handle It. The eastern Deonle n re huvin pvprv. thing they want and now it will come to tne coast. "Begin buying the things you want The amount of money In the world is always the same; get It Into circula tion. Time to Overcome Fear. "During the past year t so people have been wearing their shoes longer than they have ever attempted to wear them before. They have been wearing their collars and shirts and everything else as long a' possible. They have economized in every possible way in fear that their money would be needed for something else. "Why, people have hesitated about buying a pound of butter for fear the money would be needed to pay the doc tor. "But the time will soon be here when everyone will buy the things he wants, "The eastern manufacturer Is going to send his wares out here and It's up to you people of the coast to buy while the buying Is good. "Get the things you want; open up. Why, If everybody would think this way you could have a business revival here in 48 hours. You have to think and act good times to have them. Prepare Tor Peace, So Bays. "Forget about war preparation," ad vises Mr. Moore, "prepare for peace in stead. Peace is coming sooner than anyone expects. In a year or so per haps, but what's a year when it comes to preparation? "The L'nited States muit be prepared to develop and acquire the business and trade that will open up on the coming of peace. Why worry about war? Why elvould we have a war dur ing the next 100 years? Peace prepar ation is the thing. "In this connection I believe In an adequate protective tariff to keep out foreign wares and give rise to Amer ican industry. With ships at a prem ium and with Europe at war the pres ent tariff does us little good, ut with peace and the competition of the world we need a strong tariff to build up business in this country to the highest point." Mr. Moore was aJlgned with the Progressive party at the last election, but he expects to be a delegate to the next Republican convention. Sooaevelt Vot a Candidate. Roosevelt will not be a candidate, he says, and has no desire to be a candidate, Mr. Moore asserted that the colonel will stick to the Bull Moose organization. "Mrs. Moore and I lunched with Roosevelt not long ago." sa!d Mr Moore, "and I asked him about switch ing back to the Republican ranks. "'I must follow the law of the sea,' replied th ex-pres1dent "How's that, I asked?" " 'The captain must be the laat to leave.' said he. Mr. Moore being a Republican thinks a Republican will be the next presi dent. On his trip to the roast he la accom panied by Dr. A, I. Wise, of Pitts burgh. Mr. Moore has been in journal ism in Pittsburg since 1S7S. At the present time he is president of tho Leader Publishing company. Von Iluelow Quits Switzerland. Ixmdon. Dec. 25 (I. N.

There was a little Christmas party at the Multnomah hotel Friday night after the Orpheum show that was probably as greatly appreciated as any Christmas party ever held In Portland. Lillian Russell, the week's head liner, was the hostess and the guests were her -fellow performers on the bill. It was a real old-fashioned Christ mas party with exchange of gifts and a Christmas tree, stories and speechei, and then a little something to eat. Colonel H. C. Bowers, manager of the Multnomah, had a small room es pecially decorated for the occasion and arranged a surprise of a supper. Menus Bear Autograph. The menus were in shape folders containing an autographed photograph of the hostess. The cover bore the signature Inscription "Compliments of Lillian Russell," and said "Lillian Russell Christmas Party nt Mult nomah Hotel. Portland, Oregon, 1915." To the professional people - away from home the affair came as a great blessing, as it made Christmas all the cheerier and merrier. They gave a make-up table cover embroidered with ths names of the donors. The hostess In turn gave the women of the party engraved powder puff boxes and the men useful souvenirs. There was a number of Inexpensive presents on the tree, too, and every one had a great time getting them off SCRAMBLING NEWIES BLOCK TRAFFIC ' f S-f il'll" C:;;.f.'v ut fifes i & 'r' -v a h3i r.j cTj .

Nearly half a hundred young newsies were on the street for an hour before noon, wrestling and struggling all over the street for the small coins tossed on the pavement by holiday-makers at the curb.
