Declaration of war with, Austria -Hungary involves very little readjustment 'of affairs between the United States and the dual' monarchy, because the state of war which Congress is about to declare exists' actually has been a fact for many months. There have been np such number of depredations on American lives and Use Sugar Sparingly Do Not Waste It Everyone manufacturers and householders should use sugar sparingly for the present. The supply is limited and will be until the new crop of cane can be harvested and shipped from Cuba and thcrTropics. The supply will then be ample. In the meantime, the people of the New England and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar sparingly.

Grocers should limit their sales to any one family. No one should hoard or waste sugar. Do not pay an increased retail price. rights by Austrian military forces as has been the case with Germany; but Austria, as the ally of Germany, has radiially come into a position where officials of the American government have realized more and mpre clearly that she must be included with Germany as an enemy. Discharged But Not Fired This was apparent even before the Teutonic invasion of Italy made the AuBtro-Italian front literally- a part of the western front on which American forces are operating.

There has been no outstanding' "overt act" on the part of Austria against the United States; there have been rather a Berles of acts short of being, classed as caius'e for war. They go back to the beginning of the European war.

Don't think your battery's a "dead one" because it's discharged. With expert handling a discharged battery can be filled again with "pep" and put back on the job. But it takes an expert to do it to determine the. proper alow rate of charge to begin with, then to speed up the used in this country for Germany's warlike purposes. The secret service found how the Austrian diplomatic code and officials of Austrian consuls were being used for activities Germany could not carry on in the United States with her own officials.

The most striking case of that sort was the destruction" of the Italian liner Ancona, in which responsibility never was established. The first attack on an American ship which attracted the attention of the nation was that upon the American tank steamer Petrolite.

German submarines in the Mediterranean have been, the Austrian flag and Austrian submarines have been flying the German flag: Apparently commanders of both navies have been interchanging flags to avoid responsibility for lawless acts. Quite aside from the question of "overt acts," the principal consideration of the government in deciding on war with Austria-Hungary Is the nature of the alliance' between; Austria and Germany, which make it anomalous to war with the' latter and not with the former.

Difficulty piled upon difficulty and much as he hoped to avoid it, the president was forced to realize that Austria was being used by Germany in the United States as as active enemy.

American secret service men found the trails of the notorious von Papen and Boy-ed leading through the Austrian consular service In this country.
