was characteristic of Washington’s

much we owe today to the fact that
he was not afraid to tell the truth,
; and truths like these however gray

GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF
Denton is celebrating the birthday of
George Washington rn a befitting man-
ner today and the numerous small flags
worn upon the clothes of students and
others show the patriotic remembrance
of the "Father of our Country.” (The
students at the C. I. A. have been
granted a holiday, the City Schools a
half holiday and ths banks and pdetof-
flee are closed. Numerous social events
will also mark the celebration locally,
including ^-veral class parties at the
High School, a Washington Ball by the
Elks club and various private entertain-
ments.
A Utting pnwram was given by stu-
dents of the High School Thursday
morning, both the literary societies of
the school holding joint open sessions,
the auditorium was crowded with stu-
dents and visitors, many of whom w'ere
from C. I. A., and the program was both
patriotic and pleasing in every detail
The feature of the observance wag the
address of Alvin C. Owsley who told
of the wonderful progress of the nation
since the time of Washington, review-
ing the history of the greatest nation of
the world and exhorted the students to
take the forefathers of the republic as
an ideal in their livine so as To lake
the nation to the highest conception of
a republic.
One very interesting feature of the
program was the “George Washington
Party" enacted by members of the Low
Junior class, during the course of w hich
a pretty rendition of the old Viiginia
reel was given. The debate by mem-
bers of the Houstonian socit^y proved
tootle very humorous in its nature and
provoked much merriment. The solo by
Miss Robbie Harper proved so popular
that she was encored twice. Other
numbers were essentially enjoyed.

BERNE, Feb. 22 — The Austrian reply
to the United States defining her po-
sition in the Submarine war is known
.in Berlin, according to the Frankfur-
ter Zettung, which predicts a breach of
relations between Washington and Vi-
enna is inex'it^ble. '
“The memorandum which President
Wilson has sent to the Vienna govern-
ment.” says the Zeitung, "leaves no
doubt that the breach of relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
will be followed by a breach with Aus-
tria-Hungary. President Wilson wishes
t^ be clearly told whether the Austria-
Hungarian government has withdrawn
its earlier declaration regarding the
conluct of submarine warfare. Really
one ought to think the expression given ’
at lh« beginning of the unrestricted sub-
marine warfare, to the effect 4hat from
Feb. 1 all ocean traffic in the blockaded
zones will be prevented- by all means
shoud not be capable o misconcep-
tion, but in dealings with the Central
lowers President Wilson has always
been painfully exAct.”
