PEACE PLAN WHEN VERDUN FALLS
A Sea Fight Certain Is London's Latest Report
Carranza Issues a Manifesto—Is not
Willing for U. S. Troops to
Invade— Mexicans Rush To
Defend Border Cities.
MEXICO CITY, March 13.—Pre
4 nident Carranza issued a manifesto
today declaring that under no cir
cumstances would the government
grant the United States the right to
violate ihe neutrality of Mexico
without reciprocal privileges being
first obtained as sovereign powers,
standing upon an absolutely equal
International piano.
The manifesto says in pait:
“I am sure that I interpret in this
matter the nation’s sentiment ana
that the Mexican people will comply
in a dignified manner with their
duty and sacrifice everything they
possibly can to sustain their rights
of sovereignty.
If unfortunately this drags us into ;
war with the United States which ]
the United States can
never justify, we will not be respon
sible for the disastrous consequences
that must inevitably arise from any
such aggressive action.
Upon the heads of traitorous Mex
icans who within and without this
country have labored to produce
this unfortunate result, will fall the
inexorable justice of the poople."
Wilson and Lansing went into
conference immediately this morn
ing on the Carranza statement.
EL PASO, March 13.—General
Carranza is concentrating his forces,
expressing a hope of capturing the
bandits without assistance. It is
believed that Villa will attempt to
make his way into Sinaloa. A re
port is current that Villa Is disinte
grating his army into small bands
for a guerilla mountain fight.
The Juarez commandant, General
Segavira, announces that the Mor
mon colony is safo under the pro
tection of Colonel Gonzales.
Punston in outlining his cam
paign declares that any immediate j
rush would be suicidal and wants
ample preparation for an arduous
campaign.
Mexican residents this side of the
line are restless and the border pat
rols have been increased everywhere
lest an up-rising takes place when i
the invasion begins.
EL PASO, March 13.—The Juarez
Casas Grandcs telegraph line has
been cut. Cs-rranza is conferring
wih Obregon and other generals. He
is now rushing ten thousand troops
to Juares, five thousand to Nogalos
and ten thousand to other points.
The American smelter trust has 1
withdrawn its American employees
who are few In number from Mexico
as trouble is expected.
PHILADELPHIA, March 13.—The
Government s now giving rush mu
nition orders to various factories.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13.—
Much to the chagrin of the inter
ventionists, President Wilson after a
conference thiB evening, and with
the support of Secretary Lansing
has accepted the proposals of Pre
sident Carranza. It is believed
that the tension will be greatly
relievod.
GERMANS CONFIDENT THEY
WILL SOON TAKE VERDUN
BERLIN, March 13.—There has
l>cen no active attack upon Verdun
yesterday or today, but the artillery
is busy bombarding the French po
sitions. The military chiefs at the
Verdun front now consider It only
a matter of a few days before Ver
dun falls. It will be German
ground before the end of the week.
PARIS, March 13.—Two thirds of
the Germans attacking Vaux village
wore either killed or wounded. The
lull which began Saturday afternoon
still continues with the Germans
completely demoralized. Some can
nonading without result is the sole
sign of German activity.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13.—
It is stated that immediately that
Verdun falls. Germany will make
new peace proposals to the belliger
ent nations.
This announcement comes direct
from German sources and is credit
ed as correct.
LONDON, March i3.—Quiqt reigns
on the Verdun front. The German
losses are enormous. It is neverthe
less accepted that the situation is
critical despite reassuring state
ments to their lines at the French
War Bureau.
The Germans are moving rein
forcements to their lines at the Ver
dun front where however the great
mounds of unburiod Teuton dead
will hardly prove very encouraging
for further attacks.
The last assault on Vaux village
was carried out almost entirely over
great groups of German slain. De
tails of the fighting are sickening in j
the extreme.

ALASKA POLITICS COMES
IN FOR GENERAL INTEREST
SEATTLJ3, March 13.—It is aston
ishing the interest that is now beinu
manifested in Alaskan politics. It
is not too much to cay that t'no re
sults of the forthcoming election
are being all planned before hand
by wise ones who make Alaska a
temporary home.
If all the reports are correct
that one hears on the Btrcet the
election this year will be a political
shambles.
This Is true of every division.

MOVIE HANDS STRIKE
FOR FIVE DOLLARS DAY
LOS ANGELES. March 13—A
novel strike for novel reasons of the
acting staff of a movie firm near this
place took place today.
The company had planned a scen
ario which involved five hundred
"hands” appearing in the nude.
They offered the actors and actresses
the sum of one dollar a day for ap
pearing with a fig leaf garb before
the man shooting the camera.
The nude models revolted at the
idea and would not expose their
person in thoir pelt unless they re
ceived the sum of five dollars a day.
The strike has attracted the at
tention of the purists of the city
it may lead to an investigation of
some of those nudities that are be
ing performed.
