DEMANDS OF U. St CONCEDED BY AUSTRIA

Lengthy Reply to Second American Note On Ancona Case Says UBoat Commander is Punished. The Austrian reply to the second American note on the Anoona case states that the commander' of the Austrian submarine has 'been punished for not sufficiently- taking account of the panic on 'board the Ancona, which rendered the disembarkation more difficult. A promise of indemnity was also made. The Austrian reply further expresses the hope that Washington will be able to supply the particulars of how .the American citizens were affected, but in event of such evidence being lacking and the United States being unable to state how the American citizens came to their deaths, the Austro-Hungarian government “is ready to pass lightly over this deficiency and indemnify damages, whose proximate cause cannot be fixed, and hopes thereby that the inoident will be regarded as ended.” The note agrees that sacred laws of humanity should be taken into account also in war. The note expresses a want to maintain relation with the U. >S. and it seems now that the possibility of a diplomatic break has cleared away.

Fairbanks Strong Contender For Presidential Nomination.

With each passing day, bringing a littld more activity among the candidates seeking nominations, the sentiment for Charles W. Fairbanks is growing stronger, and it is now certain that the former vice-presi-dent will have a strong following. At the republican love feast held in Indianapolis Thursday the Kentucky republicans, headed by Edwin P. Morrow, pledged their allegiance to the Hoosier. Morrow came as the principal speaker at the Murat jtheatre for the love feast, but the meeting became a Fairbanks demonstration almost from the start. A few minutes after Mr. Morrow proclaimed the republicans of Kentucky as followers of Fairbanks, and declared that every delegate from that state would support him at the national convention, Mr. Fairbanks was given an enhusiastic demonstration, when 1,500 men at the meeting rose and cheered repeatedly. Mr. Morrow in his l address paid the former vice-president a great tribute and 'had the following to say concerning him: “He lives An your midst, honored, respected, loved by all. Safe in council, wise in the knowledge of deep and diversified experience, sane in heart and brain, proved in the great average of deeds, tried and tested in the great affairs of the nation — great enough in the combined qualities of stalwart Americanism to be President of these United States—such a man is Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana. He can swing Kentucky into the republican column—sweep Indiana, and carry the nation. Kentucky republican proclaim him as their choice and pledge to 'him their full, earnest and qualified support.”

Jackson Club Banquet Held Thursday Evening at Lafayette.

The Jackson Club banquet was held in Lafayette Thursday night and 460 democrats were there, including U. S. Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois; Senator John W. Kern, and Representative John A. M. Adair, prospective nominee for governor. Democrats were there to pay tribute bo these men, yet the fact remained that .the 450 were there more to hear and see the Illinois senator. The dinner was served in the Fowler hotel. Senator Kern kept open house in the afternoon to poeboffioe candidates. Disappointment was expressed that Thomas Taggart and Governor Ralston were not present. Senator Wilson aroused much‘enthusiasm with his speech and was given an. ovation at the end of his address. He paid tribute to the memory of Andrew Jackson and referred to President Wilson as another Jackson. Senators Kern and Lewis made tender reference to Senator B. F. Shively, who is dll in Washington. The consensus of opinion among the democrats attending the banquet was that Adair, will be their nominee for governor, and for this reason they were much interested in hearing his message. Senator Lewis was applauded loudly when he expressed the opinion that “America will return Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States.”

Editors Keep Shy of Pen; Some May Belong There, But

We 'had never thought of it before, but it is stated as a fact that there are no editors in the penitentiary. We are not going to try to account for it, lest some one arise and state that while there may Ibe no editors in the prisons, there are a lot of them that out to be there. But we are so much impressed with an item from a prison paper, the Prison Mirror, printed in .the Minnesota state prison, that we are godng to print it here just as it comes to us, trusting that wihat is true of the Minnesota penitentiary may be true of all similar' institutions: “Why is dt that from the first inception of our paper to the present time we have never had an editor to sojourn in our midst? Other professions have been well represented. Of preachers we have had enough to furnish subsistence to an African chief for a year; of doctors sufficient in number to depopulate a state; and of lawyers enough to establish a good sized colony in hades. But editors—not one.”

grievances that we may hold against a fellowman; to exercise charity toward each other and create more happiness to every living thing during the coming year; to remember that a boost for all good things is much better than a knock; and to remember that we are not all alike, and that the other fellow’s opinion may be as deserving of consideration as your own. With confidence that these resolutions, well kept, will at the end of the year, permit us to look back with pride upon the year of 1916, The Republican expresses the wish that you may all live long and prosper. \
