I.ONPON, April 10.
A dispatch tn the Kxchiiiigi- Ti'legriiiili

Vienna that a war lietwcnn Austria and
Italy Is Inevitable in the near futuie. 'Ill"

I'AIIIS. April 1!.

archives of the embassy tn Vienna from
Home, according lo a disputed from the
Italian capital today.
Tills new and other development!) In

The dispatch announcing the departure
of the Austrian Ambassador's family
fiom Rome states that Baron von Mac

and the Embassy's Chancellor. I
The Petit Parislen dilutes a prominent
Ktatesmaii nf Ituinanla as saying:

simultaneously with Italy. We are nego
tiating the linnl dctnllH nf our agreement
with Italy and awaiting her linnl mllltnry

early in May."
v.
RO.MK. April 13.
Notwithstanding Gel ninny's efforts,
Italy and Austria have failed to reach an
agreement Willi reference to territorial
concessions. This Is learned from an
I authoritative source.
Many reports have been current re
specting the proposals said to have been
made by influential Austrinns anxious to
preserve peace with Italy, for the tem
porary disposition ot tno province oi
Trent, provided Austrln consented to cede
It to Itnlly. The latest proposal, accord
ing to these reports, was that the terri
tory bo ceded to the Pope and that the
Pontiff turn the territory over to Itnly
ufter the war.
Prince von Huelnw. the German Ambas
sador at Home, is said to havo frowned
upon this suggestion, because he feared
that It would he a new source of friction
between Austria and Itnly, something
which he hail been striving to eliminate.

PRAISB WORK OF SUNDAY HERB
Resolve to Send Him Letter Indors
ing Campaign and Results.
Congregutlonnl clergymen of Philadel
phia today voted to send "Billy" Sunday
a letter or resolution advising him that
they Indorse his campaign recently con
ducted In this city, and testifying to Its
value for the religious anil moral ad
vancement of the community.
The action was taken following a dis
cussion of articles printed In newspapers
In which statements were mude that In
dicated the Congregntlonalists considered
tde campaign u failure. None of the
speakers desired it understood that he
was opposed to Mr. Sunday, unci all those
who hnd spoken last week expressed a
desire that the evangelist should not be
led to believe that they or the Congre
gational churches of the city criticised
the work he had dono here.
The Jtev. Kdwln Rice, one of the
clergymen who has no charge and was
recorded as saying some or tney uncom
plimentary things nbout the campaign,
declared ' that he believed Mr. Huuduy
had done much good, but that he did
not think the churches had received as
great gains directly from the campaign
as they had anticipated.
Tho Rev. William II. Medlar, modera
tor of the association, who presided and
had much to say In praise of "nilly"
Sunday, epoke on his trip with the local
option forces to Harrlaburg to attend
the public hearing on the Williams local
option bill. Ho praised Governor Brum
baugh for his stand, and criticised the
Rev. Mr, Von Bosse, of Wilmington, the
Lutheran clergyman who spoke against
the bill.
One of the ministers asked Mr. Medlar
concerning the minister of the gospel who
had spoken for the (Iquor dealers, and In
reply, the moderator said;
"He made a mesa of himself. He eyl
dtntly was hired by the liquor crowd. I
believe he did the booze men more harm
than good."

was excited among clergymen and laymen
of this city who have been watching
"Billy" Sunday's spectacular riso in the

OPTOMETRISTS WIN SUIT
Supreme Court Upholds Decision Ex
empting Them From Examination.
Optometrists, are not Included In the
category of "Drugless Healers," They
are not subject to the rules and regula
tions of the State Bureau of Medical
Kxamluation and Licensure, and tho
State cannot require opticians to pass a
certain fixed examination.
This was the decision of Hie Supreme
Court today, confirming the decision of
Judge Wlllaon, of Court of Common
Pleas No. 1, handed down some time ago
In the light waged by members of the
State Association of Optometrists against
certain attempted exactions of the State
Board.
The Supreme Court also continued
Judge WHUon's ruling that the acts of
assembly invoked by the State board to
Include optometrists lu the yategory of
"Drugless Healers" was unconstitutional
as applying to eyeglass men who prac
ticed no branch of surgery or medicine.
It was said that the work of optome
trists consists In finding defects In the
vision by mechanical means and the use
of certain measuring instruments and
glasses. If any suspicion of disease In
the ees exist, the patients are referr4
tj; a physician or opulut.

"1 nssurcdly expect that It will pass

men, piolessloiial men and physiciuns
united with people of all walks of life
iu holding meetings and petitioning for

that bis constituents want the bill passed,
