The session developed Into a general

"Well." said Secretary BhorthUl, "you
had better read those provisions and com

wer so far aa officials can Judge from
the unofficial text received here.
American officials believed that taking
as a basis ths official statement of the
Austr'an admiralty that the Aneona was
shelled, torpedoed and sunk while pas
sengers were still aboard, there would
be little room for discussion of Secretary
Lansing's contention, that the commander
violated the principles of International
law and humanity, and that it was
"wanton slaughter of defcnseloss non
combatants.' Break Beeme Probable.
Officials pointed out today that a thor
oughly unsatisfactory and unresponsive
reply from Austria - Would bring diplo
matic relations betweea the two countries
to a dials because of ithe closing words
of Secretary Lansing's note.' which de
clared that "good relations between the
two countries rest upon a common regard
for law and humanity," and that Austria,
appreciating the gravity of the case,
"will accede to Its (ths United States)
demand promptly." '
Specifically the note demanded de
nouncing the sinking of the Aneona aa
an "illegal and undefennlble act," pun
ishment of the commander who "perpe
trated the deed," and payment of an in
demnity to those Americans who suf
fered. The note stands aa ths most vigor
ous of all the American correspondence
of the war and was not equalled even by
the note at the close of the submarine
controversy with Germany.
Austria's dlplomatlo relations with the
United States since the recall of Ambas-
sador Dumbe for his eonnecUon with
plots to cripple American munitions
plants have been maintained by the em-
bassy here, with Zweldlnek as charge
d'affaires. ,
Baron Zweldlnek had no official dls- (.
patches from Vienna, but after reading
ths news dispatches he went to the State
aeprimeni ana conferred Informally
with Secretary Lansing. Previously the
baron had Inquired what the attitude of
the United States would be toward an

combinations we have helped to make by
constantly voting our enemies Into office
to make laws that were not to our Inter
est." He advocated that the farmer see
that he gots better and more direct rep
resentation In the legislatures, and that
co-operative education be more widely
disseminated.
He read extracts from the report of the
Board of Control of North Dakota,
wherein the board expressed the opinion
that the practical way to eliminate the
great waste between consumer and pro
ducer is the co-operative elevator plan.
' "It la of interest." sold the speaker,
"that this board after two years of re
search work comes , right bock to the
proposition we 'have been preaching for

He advocated similar co-operative laws
for North Dakota and the other states
as well. "Laws," he said, "that a lay
man can read and understand."
J. P. Larson, also of Mott, N. D., gave
a paper showing the success of the equity
exchange for his home community. "We
organised one." he said, "and In 1913, the
first year, handled 2G:.flOO bushels of
grain, making a net profit of $9,000; In
1913 we handled 1SO.00O, there being a
lighter crop, and made a net profit of
.00; In 1!14 we bought another elevator
and handled 180,000 bushels of grain,
making a net profit of $19,000. while a
lumber yard we started in connection
with it made a good profit also.
le Not Speculation.
"It has been charged, in view of the
profits we make, that we are gambling
with the farmers' money. But I know of
no other way than selling above or below
the buying price, I have always watched
the markets and tried to sell above.
That's all there is to It."
C. Vincent of Omaha spoke of the orao-
.tlcablllty of central selling agencies,
where all the grain from the equity
