Austro-IIun-garlan "public opinion," ns Interpieted by the official Austrian Telegraphic corre spondence bureau in a dispatch purporting to summarize the results of tho press dis cussion of the dual monarchy's war alms, generally supports tho proposals of Count Czernln, the ForelRn Minister, for n peace without annexations, ns far ns Kussu Is concerned. It declares, howoer, that opln. ion is opposed to the restoration of Serbia as that nation existed before tho war. arid demands the retention of Montenegro' mountain fortress, Lovchen; the creation of an autonomous Albania dependent upon Austria-Hungary ; tho extension of the frontiers at Italy's expense; 'the establish ment of a Balkan customs union dependent upon Austria-Hungary, and some form of wr Indemnity which will recompense) tho monarchy for tho immenso costs of tlio war and bring about tho economic re vival of tho country Those familiar with the methods of the correspondence bureau, which agency Is fomally nnd oltlcially a department of the Austro-Hungarian Foreign oillco, In setting forth publlo opinion havo slight hesitation in taking tho foregoing summary as a state tnent of Count Czernln's views on peace terms, this making it evident that Ills ad heslon to the formula of "peace without annexations" applies only toward Russia. The demands regarding Italy aro phrased as "increased and adequate protection against renewed Italian lust of aggression" to the extept demanded by the Austro. Hungarian military exports, which Is nn other way of stating tho formula of Arch duke Frederick when he was still generalis. slmo of the Imperial army nnd at the height of his success in tho Trentlno of fensive that the object In fact was the necessary extension of the monarchy's frontier. Regarding tho customs union, the sum mary adopts the recent cabled phraseology of the Vienna Neu Frele 1'resso regarding measures to assure Austria-Hungary's com mercial liberty and rights of navigation of the Danube.

You have no Keystone telephone and yesterday a cus tomer of yours had to reach you through a message rate service. That cost your customer five cents, and if he has to do the same thing one hundred times it costs him five dollars. In other words you are charging that customer admis sion to your house to buy goods, and the better customer he is the more you charge him. And probably there are hundreds of other customers whose story is the same. That is a bad welcome to prospective buyers and surely poor business management. ' You can cure that trouble and save expense yourself by putting in a Keystone unlimited telephone. , It will only cost you about one cent an hour all the year around.
