The Ameri can rejoinder to Austria regarding the Austriiiin sufbmarine attack on the American steamer Potrolite, made public by the state department, de scribes the act as "a deliberate insult ta the flag of the United States and an nvasion of the rights of American citizens and requests a prompt apol ogy, pumsiiment. ot ttie submarine commander, and payment of indem nity. In vigorous language the communi cation stmt a week ago today, makes it clear t hat- the United States gov ernment, oojievos the tacts ot tne case ntirely different from what the Aus trian submarine comamnder reported them to be and that immediate amends re expected. The Austrian claim that the eP- irolito s captain voluntarily gave up .supplies taken from thes teamer by the submarine comamnder is fatly mtradicted, as are the claims that warnmg snots were nreu across tne Potrolite's bow before she was shelled and that her appearance was such as to justify the submarine commander in mistaking her for a cruise'. The attack on the Potrolite, a Standard Oil tanker, occurred in the .Mediterranean, December 5th. A irotest sent soon afterward on prelim- nary reports from the tanker's cap t'Mn and crew brought the Austrian communication to which the new American note replies. E. II.

USEFUL GLYCERIN Glycerin has many useful proper ties, according to the New York Sun. it will cleanse a cut and cause it to heal quickly. In washing clothes, where softness is imperative in water, the addition of three tablespoonfuls to an ordinary tub of water will prove effective. When it is necessary to boil clothes, two tablespoonfuls in the wash boiler w ill produce good results. A little glycerin applied with a flannel on shoes that have become hardened by wetting softens the leather, which will absorb it over night. One tablespoonful of glycerin to each pound of fruit in preserves prevents the formation of a sugary crystal on the top. In stewing fruit, fresh or evaporated, two tablespoon fuls of glycerin to each pound of fruit, a pinch of salt and less sugar make a useful addition. And, finally, glycerin softens scrub bing water, whitens wood, and is good for the hands. Don't forget to go to the Pastime Theatre tonight to see the 10th chap ter of the "GIRL AND THE GAME." W. J.

The ending of the historic trial came shortly before 4 o'clock this afternoon when the jury which had been out less than an hour brought in lis verdie against the Irish knight. After Sir Roger Casement had been sentenced, Daniel J. Bailey, the private soldier whoh ad been held as his accomplice, 'vtis pleiced in the dock. The chief justice directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty, ami Baily was discharged. Sir Rog er's counsel announced an appeal. After the verdict had been returned Sir Roger began to read a very long statement. Sir Roger received the sentence with the utmost composure, smiling at his friends in the court room. His statement was a plea for the right to be tried by. Irishmen and for Irish nationality.
