Paris, France, Feb. 13. The an
nouncement of. the Impending ar
rival of two ' cabinet of f icera from
Austria turns attention once more to
the miserable plight of that unhappy
country.
None of the promises made to Chan
cellor Kenner in December last has been
fulfilled. No credits have been advanced
and no food has been shipped', save only
the 10.000 tons of (train lying in the
harbor of Trieste which had already been
bought and paid for. In consequence of
this starvation is actually at hand, said
the head of the Austrian delegation in
Paris. Every day several hundred per
sons drop dead in the streets of Vienna.
TOUSG SUFFER MOST
"What makes the situation more ter
rifying;." continued Baron Kichoff, "is
the effect It is ha vine on the future of
the race. ' Women and children - suffer
the most A lartre percentage of the
latter under IS years of are are already
dead. Ninety-seven per cent of those
who remain are under-nourished and
according- to an American report, they
are deformed, lethargic and crippled. All
the schools have been closed for It was
found that the children went to sleep
mm soon mm tbey entered a wen heated
room. As for the women the conditions
are even more tragic. It is a calamity
for them to enter the period of child
birth for rarely, if ever, doee mother or
child come out of it alive. They there
fore seek by every means in abeir power
to avoid havlnr children. It means the
death of the race.
"Oh," groaned the envoy, pressing his
hands to bis forehead in sort of stu
pefaction, "if America would only un
derstand, it out of ber richness and
plenty she would only save 7,000,000 poor
people from starvation! It is so little
we ask. Moreover, it Is not charity we
seek but a good business Investment we
offer for our factories and waterpower
are of real value and onoe the raw ma
terials are supplied it will not take
money. We Austrian cannot under
stand why Americans refuse it to us.
For England, France and Italy the case
is comprehensible. They cannot afford
to spend when they themselves are so
sorely in need but America is a coun
try of wealth, sympathy and liberty.
Why will she not hear our call?
BOBBERS BUST
"Vienna Is at the end of her resources.
As Chancellor Renner bas announced,
all the stocks of food gave out January
81 and now the people live on little or
nothing. Some get a bit of t food from
friends in The country, some go out to
steal and some have a little money left
to waste. But it is an existence which
cannot last. Mass starvation, robbery
and brigandage such as have been seen
in the world before are In sight and no
government can prevent them. As the
papers have announced our ministers of
finance and food are cominsr to France
again. They want to explain the situa
tion ones more In all its horror. Like
wise we are trying to get passports for
a commission to go to the United States
to convince the people there of the gen
uineness of our needs. Then perhaps
Chicago, New York and Philadelphia
will respond."
Princess Pat Has
Her Way About Name
Of the Young Hopeful
London, Feb. 13 "Princess Pafs
boy," England's most talented of babies,
will be named Alexander Arthur Al
phonse Maule.
This was declared after a royal eon
clave at which the .mother declined to
allow Queen Mary or other members of
the royal family to act as sole arbiters
on this "Ssswnentaus" question.
"Princess Pat" had her way in the
choice of names. Alexander and Maule
stand for the child's father, Arthur Tor
his grandfather, the duke of Connaught,
and Alphonso for the king of Spain.
The royal christening ceremony will
take place at St James palace on Feb
ruary 23.
The son is described as a pretty blue
eyed babe with rich dark hair and bear
ing a striking resemblance to his beau
tiful and popular mother. He already is
Queen Mary's pet. The Prince of
Wales cans rrequenuy to see nis gurg
ling young cousin, whom he has pre
sented with a two-handled christening

Phantom Stockings, Shortened

Paris, Feb. IS. What has been appro
priately named the "Missing Link" cos
tume is being shown at spring fashion
openings.
Shortening of skirts to knee length.
cutting bodice to below the waist line.
abolition of sleeves and the adoption of
"phantom" stockings, have threatened
to reduce evening gowns to the pro
verbial string of pearls.
Fashion designers were thus con'
fronted with a serious problem. Unless
some addition could be made to woman's
costume, silk manufacturers were likely
to go broke within the year ; they there
fore turned to Darwin and produced the
new model.
SAVE THE CLOTH
The "missing link" costume bears a
real tail, from the small of the back,
gracefully trained to the gown and ta
pering off with a gold tassel.
The same policy of saving the manu
facturers from bankruptcy and at the
same time pleasing the present taste
which demands the greatest possible dis
play of feminine charms, is responsible
for the adoption of the Egyptian style,
which combines the greatest waste of
material with the greatest effect, of:
nakedness.
The tanagra figure shares popularity
In the models for the coming season
with Cleopatra's royal robes. Corsets
of any sort are - entirely abolished.
The slim outlines so popular last sea
son must disappear In compliance with
the latest edict of fashion. Women are
already .crowding the physical culture
studios while physicians are besieged
with demands for prescriptions that will
bring the necessary embonpoint.

The Venus de Milo Is the Ideal type
with round full form and unmarked

In order to enhance the appearance of
weirdness. women are resorting to lav
ish use of colored powder, preferably
green, which gives extraordinary charm
to the back, shoulders, and arms under
the dim dancing lights.
For street wear tailor made suits are
favored to the exclusion of the one piece
dresses. The suits maintain straight
lines and have knee length, plaited
skirts and short tie-ht 4w. - i

ing with the Insurance Departments in the different states, as required by law, and
it is with unusual satisfaction we give to the public the figures for the year's business
because they so far surpass all previous records.
The Life Insurance written by our agents during the year, and paid for, was almost
double that of the preceding year, up to that time the largest in the Company's
history.

Although the Death Rate was unusually heavy in the opening months of the year,
due to the influenza and the war, it declined to even better than normal duringthe
summer and autumn months, so that the rate for the year as a whole was very favorable.
