Willow.
ARTHUR C. MAUS.
This return which may or may
not take in the entire vote of the
precinct was received last night
from St. Michaels. It is quite an
important vote as it now gives John
A. Wilson a lead of about 23 votes
for the position of Territorial Road
Commissioner. It will cut little
figures in the delegate election, ow
ing to the fact that it was so even
a vote. Again at Wiilow there was
one lone fish wanted to work the
round of the clock. Some men are
work hogs naturally and you can’t
prevent them unless they rid them
selves of their brains to a second
hand dealer and acquire new ones.
From this report it would appear
that Allan, Coombs, Corrigan and
Daly are elected representatives.
Daly heading the list of successful
ones with quite a plurality.
WILStiil DEDICATES THE

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—President

fleet saluted the President as his
yacht steamed up to the Battery.
Aviatrix Ruth Law added to the in
terest of the proceedings by encirc
ling several times Battery Park and
hovering over the statue. The fleet
and the hundreds of crowded excur
sion steamers cheered Wilson, and
he was given a splendid ovation in
the city. On Saturday night he at
tended a liberty banquet where the
keynote of his speech was that Peace
with Liberty_£or all was coming
til^^raruT' Wilson de
clared that it would come not
through the compacts of nations but
through the sympathy of men. He
pitied the man of such narrow vision
who looked into the future and fail
ed to behold the glorious time when
liberty fraternity and equality would
not be idle or academic terms but
the living expression of human in
tercourse. It was the duty as it
should be the delight of all optimis
tic men with vision to work for that
condition throughout the world. It
would be America’s glorious destiny
to show the way and the light that
was today dedicated, he held shoula
be symbolical of the America of the
future, guiding the way of all na
tions to life, liberty and progress
for all.

BULGAR LEFT BREAKS
BEFORE 6REAT ASSAULTS
BERLIN, Dec. 3.—Beginning
Thursday the Russians and Ruman
ians along a wide front attacked the
Teuton-Bulgar positions, sacrificing
many lives and great quantities of
ammunition to effect an unimportant
advance. They succeeded in break
ing down the Bulgar left in Do
brudscha but that was all.
PETROGRAD, Dec. 3.—The fight
ing in Dobrudscba is titanic with the
Turks, Bulgars and Teutons (Ger
mans and Austrians) endevoring to
stem the Rumanian-Russian ad
vance. After repeated hammering
the Bulgars on the left gave way
with the Rumanians in close pursuit
The situation is getting more favor
able.
BERLIN, Dec. 3.—The situation
in the Rumanian campaign is still
the same. The Russo-Rumaniana
are trying with desperate energy to
effect diversions, the Russians in the
Carpathians and the both armies in
Dobrudscha. In spite of this the
Teutons under both Mackenzen and
Falkenhayn continue an uninter
rupted advance into the heart fo
Rumania, capturing daily thousands
of prisoners, including generals and
staff officers and the both armies
are now encircling practically two
thirds of the Rumanian forces in
cluding within their grip General
Avesscu and staff, as well as the
commander of third and fourth
armies.

GREECE PROTESTS ALLIES
INVADE HER SOVEREIGNTY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—
Greece formally protested to the
United States State Department to

RAILROAD MEN HOED POW-WOW
Washington, d. c., Dec. 3.—
The railroad company men are hold
ing a big pow-pow among them
selVes. There Is reported to be a
huge friction developing. The east
ern roads want to have the Adam
son bill left alone with no legisla
tive or Judicial monkey shines rais
ing caln with an already bad situa
tion. The western roads are divided
but favor a stand against it, while
thfe southern roads except those di
rectly controlled by the east are

ates the encroachments of the allies
and concludes by stating that
Greece is confident of maintaining
Its integrity and surviving through
this cruel war however much it may
be weakened.
ATHENS, Dec. 3.—The situation
here is less alarming owing to a
compromise upon the part of both
the Greek ministers and the French
Admiral who Is acting for the Al
lies.
Du Fournet today agreed to ac
cept six mountain batteries for
service with the Allies instead of ten
as heretofore, and withdrew the gen
eral armament demands which the
ministry balked at from the first.
This means however that the
mountain batteries will be con
ceded only under the protest ol
Greece and the announcement that
the entire policy which is enforced
under duress shall not be used
against her, no matter who is victor
ious.

SOLONS WAIT FOR WILSON
MAKE SPEECH ON TUESDAY
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—
The Solons are all here, and it is
Congress that is now watchfully
waiting for the Wilson speech to be
delivered the joint session of Con
•Jk-tes on Tuesday.
It is stated that Wilson will then
outline the administration plans. It
is hinted this evening that he may
possibly discuss the question of food
stuffs briefly. Thousands of peti
tions have been sent in asking for
relief of the present intolerable si
i tuation.
Wilson will touch upon the Mex- j
ican question. But it is admitted
that his proposed strike plans are j
looked forward to with the greatest i
interest.
Continuous repui tS^hre being re
vived about the successor so far
unappointed to Charles Evans
Hughes on the Supreme Bench. One
paper sarcastically suggests heaping
coals of fire upon the ex-Governor’s
head by appointing him associate
Justice again.
Henry Waite, according to a Los
Angeles dispatch has been invited
to the White Houes for December 7.
It is rumored a cabinet appointment
awaits him. This report says Lane
will succeed Hughes on the bench.
Tmf lattef report fiTevid'ently amend
ed today. It is now stated that Lane
will succeed Gregory as Attorney
General, that Gregory will be ele
vated to the. Supreme Bench, and
Waite may succeed Lane. So far
everything is more or less unknown.

VILLA GETS LICKED AND
TIOOPS FLEE DISORDERLY
EL PASO, Dec. 3.—General Obre
gon confirms the complete victory
gained by General Murguia over the
Villatist armies which flushed with
victory after the capture of Chihua
hua advanced to the attack. Last
Friday morning General Villa came
upon Murguia advancing to the re
lief of Trevino and expected to
take him by surprise. The Carran
zist general was fully apprised ot
the approach of Villa and opened
fire upon the bandit chief from a
position of great superiority. The
battle raged for six hours and finally
the Villatists were completely rout
ed, flying in disorder from the field
with the Carranzists in hot pursuit.
LOCAL ITEMS.
The recent numbers of the Fair
banks papers contain lively accounts
of an interchange of amenities be
tween John L. M’Ginn and Attorney
De Journel. While the “bank”
cases were pursuing their belated
way through the courts, M‘Ginn
asked de Journel whom he was re
ferring to when he became particu
larly severe in his strictures. D«
Journel replied “I mean you”.
Thereupon M’Ginn told him he was
a damned liar. Bunnell at once
adjourned the court, and after re
cess announced that he fined M’Ginr
one hundred dollars for contempt
But that was not all of it. Outside
the court de Joutnel asked M’Ginr
to take back the allegation that he
(de Journal) was a liar, and M’Gint
refused, ’fcfltlibut triofe ado de Jour
nel plugged M’Ginn In the eye
M’Ginn at the following session oi
the cOuft notified the Jhdge of the
assault, tint no erpdrt Is made as te
what happened then.
Safety first. You miners comlnj
in from the creeks look up the ad
vertisers in your paper before dis
posing of your patronage.
Five hundred prisoners were taken,
of whom one hundred were deserters
form Trevino’s infantry. These were
shot on the spot.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—
i The victory of Murguia is consider
ed an inevitable prelude to the re
capture of Chihuahua which experts
say will be re-taken by the Car
ranzist leader with ease.
The War Department states that
Pershing’s orders to get Villa are
still good. He will probably take a
hand should Villa establish head-*
quarters at Juarez.
The War Department also stated
that the United States would as
sume a firmer policy should Car
ranza fail to suppress Villa.
GERMANY’S FORMAL REPLY
1$ ALL COULD RE DESIRED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1-2.—
Germany’s formal reply has been re
ceived wherein the question as to
the inquiry of the State Depart
ment relative to the sinking of the
Marina is fully gone over. The
government of Germany is willing to
satisfactorily apologize, to punish
the commander of the submarine
anil to continue merchantmen’s im
munity from submarines. The U
boat commander is reported to have
informed the Berlin authorities that
he thought that he was dealing with
an army transport. Bernstorff is to
personally confer with Wilson who
is himself conducting the negotia
tions.
EMBARGO IS MAIN
QUESTION NOW ISSUE
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—
Opponents of embargo are trying
to get the notion out of the papers
altogether claiming that they will
continue to give the matter publicity
until it is Insisted upon that some
action be taken.
In deference to this a good many
papers are putting the soft pedal on
, the six cent loaf proposition and the
bakers’ meetings, pointing out the
actual flour shortage of four hund
; red million bushels if the present
. rate of export continues. That there
will be a real flour destitution and
famine is now positively certain.
Flour mills are closing down all over
the country and the second grade of
corn is now sympathetically higher
than the first a year ago.
