Austria to End Quibbling (Continued from page one.') even if this presentation were correct in air points and tho most rigorous le gal conceptions were applied to tho judgment of Hie case, it does not in any "Way sufficiently - warrant- attach ing hlaino to tho commanding offieor of the war vessel or to the Imperial Bud lioynl government. "Tho government of tiie United States lias also failed to designate the persons upon whose testimony it relies and to whom, it apparently believes it may uttributo a higher decree of cred ibility than to tho commander of the Imperial anil Royal fleet. "The note also fails to give any in formation whatsoever- as to tho num ber, names and more prociso fate of the American citizens who were on board of tho suid steamer at the critical, mo ment. ' 4 However, in ,view of the fact that the Washington cabinet has now made a positive statement to the effect that citizens of the United States of Ainori ca camo to grief in the incident in question, the imperial and Jioyal gov--ernDient is in principle ready to enter into an excuange of views in the affair with the government of the United States. It must, however, in the first vla.ee. raiso the Question why that gov ernment failed to give judicial reasons for the demands set forth, in its note with reference to the special circum stances of the incriminating, evi.lonces upon which it itself lays stress and why, in lien thereof,, it referred to an exchungo of correspondence , which it lias conducted with another govern ment in other cases. , "The Imperial and Royal govern ment is less able to follow the Wash ington cabinet on this unusual path, since it by no means possesses authen tic knowledge of nil of the pertinent correspondence of the government of the United States, nor is it of the opin ion that such knowledge might bo suf ficient for it in the present case, which insofar as it is informed, is in ossential Doiats of another nature tnan tho case or cases to which the government of the United States seems to allude. The Imperial and Royal government my therefore leave it to the Washington, cabinet to formulate the particular points of law which the commanding officer of the submarine is alleged to have offended on the ocension of the jinking f the Ancona. "The government of tho United States has also seen fit to refer to the ttitudo which the Berlin cabinet as sumed in the above mentioned corres pondence. The Imperial and Koynl government finds in the much es tnemed not n indication whatever of tna intent with which the reforonoe wa made. Should, however, the gov ernment ol tho United States thereby have intended to express an opinion to the effect that a prejudice of whatever nature existed for the Imperial and Xoyal government wita respect to tne juridical consideration of the- affair in question this government must in or aor to preclude possible misunderstand ings declare- that aa a matter of course ill roscrves to itself full freedom of maintaining its. own legal views In the discussion of the ease- of the Ancona. Jm having the honor to have recourse to the kindness of His Excellency, the ambassador of the United States of America with the most respectful re Qnrat to be good enough to communi cate 'the foregoing te thai American government oa. this: eaeaaion to state that the Imperial and Koynl govern ment in no less degree than the Amer ican government and under all circum stances, most sineoroly- deplores the fate of the innocent victims of the in cident in -question, the undersigned at the same time avails himself of this opportunity to renew tho expression of his most distinguished consideration to His Excellency the amoassador. '(Signed) "BUKJAX." Note Brief and Short. Washington. Dec. 18. A brief, sharp note, permitting of no quibbling will go forward to Austria toniglir m mo Ancona case. Secretary of State Lnnsiiig !ins pre pared .it in vigorous language; upon it President Wilson has placed his o, k. and it will be cabled tonight, accord ing to announced plans today. Already it is in President Wilson's bands. Tho Austro Aemircan situation is "vory giave, " according to official doin. Tho iiromutness with which America makes its rejoinder less than 48 hours from the timo Austria replied to the first American demands leaves no doubt that Austriu rejected these de mands. Whether Austria is giveu a time lim- t within which to comply witn Amen can insistence ou a disavowal could not be learned. Such a limit would mean the rejoinder is an ultimatum and the rejection thereof would result in a sev erance or diplomatic relations netweon tho two countries. Secretary Lansing drew the reply Inst night, following a lengthy cabinet session. Situation Is Clearing. Washington, Dec. 18. A rift in dip lomatic clouds shadowing Austrian-Am erican affairs, as a result of the An cona torpedoing wns apparent today. Both sides to the controversy show ed signs of granting concessions. Of ficials here were more optimistic. ' A new note to Austria, in unmis takably firm terms is in. preparation, ami is Rlnted to bo forward at nn early moment. In it, the administration will give some details of its Ancona evi denceAustria asked this 'and will outline the principles of tho Lusitania settlement with Austria's ally, Ger many. These concessions, however, will not permit of further temporizing on Austria's port,-and tney win oe accompanied by aa ultimatum demand ing immediate compliance with Am erica's original demands. The American rejoinder will ho fin ally determined nt a conference be tween President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing. Inasmuch as the president is leaving tonight on his honeymoon, the situation will be in the secretary's hands, though in event of necessity, Lansing natural ly will confer with the president. Austria Would Avoid Break. Prom Teutonic, sources came indi cations today that Austria does not want a Weak if it can; be avoided. Moreover, the fact that the adminis tration intends giving some concessions in the way of information alleviated the tension materially. Examination of an. immense amoirnt of doenmonts is necessary in order that the rejoinder may partly meet Aus tria's request for further information. To get this, Secretary Lansing,, Coun sellor Polk and Assistant Solicitor Woolsay worked later. To prevent further procrastination and to meet the Austrian contention thnt she has not been "officially" in formed of settlement of the- German submarine- controversy,, the rejoinder will ineludo a summary or. tuat. Secretary Lansing is- understood to believe that Austria knew of the Ger-man-Amoriean. lubmariue controversy, though in her. reply she pleaded she did sot have official knowledge thereof. Copies ef the- German-American cor respondence,, nevertheless, were given to Austria's representatives here. The secretary was slated to confer wit! Charge Zwlcdinek of the Austrian embassy at 3 o clock this afternoon, ami it was possible he would make Aus tria's reply thereafter. 1 JGpr 6 More Shopping Days Before Xmas'S, V - Don,t put off yur Christmas Shopping any longer and then buy something in a hurry, that docs llM M Don't put off your Christmas Shopping any longer and then buy something in a hurry, that does not exactly suit and be disappointed.

W. Wol fard, indicates that there ara liable to be some extensive lumbor developments in Hilvnrton during tho early part of the coming year. Just what the exten sion of this option means is as yet pure ly a matter of speculation, but it Is generally beliovcd that the Hilver Falls company'intcuds to establish a sawmill prepared the body for burial Funeral in Hilverton. If such a plun is consum mated it is likely to be a mill of great capacity and will probably double the large pay roll that Hilverton now has.
