APPOINTIVE POSTS CAUSES DISCUSSION
The , county commissioners court room, was a busy place this morning. Although very little county business was transacted, there were groups of men in every corner talking over the political situation as It affects the commissioners. William Seaney, new 'Democratic member of the loard, was present but refused to discuss the appointments
to be made. "I am merely getting acquainted," is the only statement he would make on commenting on his presence this morning. The question of county attorney's appointment is the issue on which a split is anticipated. The commissioners refused to discuss the question and state that they held no caucus although they expect to "get together before the first of the year." Seaney, as ' the Democratic member of the board, is expected to support Joshua
Allen who aspires to the appointment. Gutsave Hoelscher, the present attorney, Progressive, will receive the support of Mordecai Doddridge. William Cheesman, Republican, refuses to state whether or not he will lend his support to Gath Freeman, the Republican aspirant. The re-appointment of W. O. Jones as county road superintendent, is a foregone conclusion, according to the expressions of county officials who pretend to be acquainted with the sitthat he is in favor of Jones' appointment on account of the record he has made.

WASHINGTON .Dec. IS. Following a visit by Baron von Zweidenek. charge de affaires at the Austrian embassy, to Secretary Lansing this afternoon the full text of the Ausirian answer to the protest on the sinking of the An con a In the Mediterranean sea was given out for publication. The note differs little from sum
maries already published in American newspapers, but it shows that the Austrian government has stated what it believes are its rights in no uncertain language. This lends strength to the belief that a diplomatic break between the United States and the Austrian government is unavoidable. Although there was no official confirmation it was reported that Baron von Sweidenek's visit was for the purpose of questioning the credibility of one of the passengers on the liner whose word the United States took recognition of in its message. The not as made public . today declares the Austrian government has been informed on correspondence between the United States and another
government regarding the attitude of this government toward submarine warfare and suggests that It has the same right to a full discussion of the affair as "the other government.' Administration officials declare that President Wilson has stated flatly he will not deviate a particle from the stand he has' taken regarding the attack of submarines on passenger liners, and it Is not believed here the Austrian' government will accede to these demands. An unexplalnable feeling of optimism seems to exist In Austrian diplomatic circles, but officials declare there can be no reason for this since Baron von Zweidenek has received no word from the Vienna government regarding any concessions which might be made to the United States. President Wilson has said he does not Intend to be bothered with any of the affairs of state while he is on his honeymoon, and has turned over the Austrian situation to Secretary Lansing with full power to act in any emergency.
