GEORGE GETS CHILLS
PREVENT BUSINESS
LONDON, Dec. 12,—Owing to the
indisposition of the new Prime Mi
nister he was unable to make his
appearance in the House of Com
mons today.
The members were all on the qul
vive to discover the plans which
George had promised to unfold at
this evening’s session of the lower
house. Instead Law announced
that George asked a postponement
until Thursday of the George state
ment.
Lloyd George is suffering from
chills and has a rather severe but
not dangerous cold which coniines
him indoors just at present.
The Evening Mail reporting the
George indisposition and 'comment*
ing upon his probable statement, in
what is clearly an inspired article,
says that the statement will ask that
the governmental activities be car
ried on with only one view ahead:
the triumphant conclusion of the
war.
All papers are teaming with ar
ticles upon the political situation
and the likelihood of Lloyd George
successfully carrying on the govern
ment in spite of opposition secret or
open.
It is agreed that it will be a
strong government, and that most
of the strength will be witnessable
no place more clearly than in the per
son of the Prime Minister himselt.
Some papers look for considerable
opposition from the followers of
Asquith.

SLAVS TRY PREVENT
CONQUEST OF MOLDAVIA
BERLIN, Dec. 12.—The Russian
troops are massed in considerable
numbers in the vicinity of Tartar
Pass where they have delivered a
series of very violent attacks with
out any real success. Their great
base at Kotumba has been rein
forced by the arrival of remnants of
the defeated Rumanian armies
which the Slavs are vainly trying
to re-organize.
The Russians appear reluctant to
fight far from their railroad commu
' nications with Bessarabia and Buko
wina and just now are confining
their efforts to the Carpathian fight

The Russians practically control
Moldavia and upon the plea of mili

chiefs are operating all the Ruman

PETROGRAD, Dec. 12.—The Rus
sian troops are now witholding all
efforts to the Teutons to press north
upon them. A dexterous flanking
movement upon the part of the Teu
tons through Tartar Pass was effec
tively balked by a powerful counter
of the Russians with hardly any
losses. The drives from the Carpa
thians against the Russians on the
Trotus have all of them collapsed
and the vigor of the Teuton opera
tions against the Russians in Molda
via is waning.

NOW STATES THAT THE
CABINET OFFICERS REMAIN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.—
It is definitely announced that the
entire cabinet has been requested to
remain by Presdient Wilson when
he will begin his second term. There
is intimated to be one possible ex
ception to this: that is Attorney
General Gregory.
It is also stated that Vance
M’Cormick may become secretary of
war instead of Baker who may
succeed Gregory as Attorney-Gen
eral.
Gregory has been slated by report
for the Supreme Bench to fill the
Hughes vacancy to which no one as
yet has been appointed.
It is a notorious fact that the
Army Staff would regret the depar
ture of Baker to another office as
he has shown himself more in sym
pathy with their ideals and plans
than has been Garrison whom Baker
superseded.
Vance M’Cormick is a well known
preparationist with very definite
views as to the larger army and
navy and the very suggestion of his
appointment is in itself quite signi
ficant.
The papers intimate that the ca
binet officers are all more than
pleased to work with Wilson, who
has always allowed a large measure
of departmental autonomy notwith
standing reports to the contrary,
and allows all of them practically
and with rare exceptions, a free
hand in the matter of control or *
their departments.

Efforts are being made to locate
James Wckersham so that the mat
ter of the Snake river harbor may
be taken up this session of Congress
and brought to a speedy completion.
The Industrial Worker is informed
that if this harbour is erected and
established, it will mean that a large
development in the local fishing n
dustry will take place and a big her
ring fishing concern will establish
headquarters here. It is said that
the only bar to the establishment ot
this industry on a large scale is the
fact that the harbor accomodation is

So severely was it blowing outside
of town yesterday, that practcally
all the .Rowe teams' freighting out
on the creeks had to return. It was
blowing a terrific blizzard at the
foot of Dexter which nothing could
withstand and it was impossible* to
see a few feet ahead. The weather
in town gave one no conception
whatever of the violence of the
storm that made travel very difficult
and dangerous. The trails also were
quite unusually heavy.
