HOME, May S.
A special courier, brlnslns Austria's
answer to Italy's final representations. Is
expected to arrive from Vienna tonight,
nlthounh the Austrian note will not bn
read by the Foreign Office until Tuesday.
Thus the possibility exists that tho Ital
ian Government may know within the
next 43 hours whether It Is to ho peare
or war. Indications in ofllclal quarters
lead to tho belief that Austria will make
further concessions.
That affahs In the Austro-German-Ital-lan
negotiations are replilly reaching a
climax Is Indicated by the number of dip
lomats arriving on special missions.

centre party In tho German nelchstnc,

Foreign Minister Goulochowskl Is ex
pected from Vienna at any hour
It Is not believed, however, that new
Austrian concessions will satisfy tho
Italian claim, which, If as affirmed are
really minimum, mean practically an end
to the negotiations.
All tho Ministers met yesterday with
King Victor Emmanuel for the biweekly
signing of decrees nnd to discuss tho
International situation. After the con
ference Ba"-on Sonnlno conferred with
Prince von Duelow the German Ambas
sador. It is asserted that Trlnco von

New Six $1400
WE'have been very impatient for
18 months.
All around us dealers were selling
hundreds of cars ranging: in price
from 1000 to 1500.
We knew that the Chalmers people
were making; a car in this class. We
knew it would be good when we
got it.
But to our impatient inquiries we
got one answer, "We haven't tested
it hard enough yet.'1
Now it is here.
The Chalmers people say it has simply been
abused over m the Alleghany Mountains for
18 months and stood the racket.
Hence they know what they are offering.
It is the lowest price ($1400) at which a
Chalmers car has ever been sold.
Yet it has all the Chalmers quality, and
owing to new plans of construction, a distinctly
differentappearancefromanyothermotorcar.
Itgets away quicker than any car we'veever
seen except a racer. -- It rides like a Pullman.
It is a "thoroughbred."
We feel that it paid to wait for it.
Come in and see if you don't think so too.
