WASHINGTON, D C„ Dec. 12.—
The war’s relation to American For
eign Affairs is occupying the atten
iton of many of the Solons as well
as the department officials.
Senator Owons plans a plcbescite
to determine whether the country
shall engage In aggressive wars.
It is stated that the State Depart
ment may now request Austria to
call Acting Ambassador Zwiedicnli
who is believed to have butted into
the neutrality of tho country.
The State Department is now
awaiting a reply as to the Ancona
sinking note. In tko meantime
they are arranging for the safe con
duct of the attachces Boyed and von
Papon.

of Prance why the French cruiser
Descartes searched the American
steamers Carolina, Como and San
Juan, taking off from those boats
Austrian and German seamen.

courts are now adjudicating on the
Geneseo and Hocking cases in res
ponse to the protest of the United

BREWERS WILL FIGHT
TO U. S. SUPREME COURT
SEATTLE, Dec. 12.—It is stated
that the Brewers will oppose prohi
bition and appeal to the United
Statos Supreme Court against thj
state Supreme Court’s decision, sus
taining the popular law.
SEATTLE, Dec. 12.—Although
the fight is abandoned by many, the
fact is apparent that with the strug
gle being carried to the United
States Supreme Court many saloon
ists will retain control of their pro
perty pending the final adjudica
tion.
On the other hand the anxiety to
unload is manifest. Booze is being
cut in prices. Breweries and deal
1 * era in order to prevent this are buy
ing up or promising to buy up un
sold stocks on January 1.
Mayor Gill announces that In con
formity with the decision of the
State Supreme Court he will enforce
the closing of booze emporiums in
the city.
Gill’s statement knocks all hope
of booze vendors as it was hoped
that he would leave the enforce
ment of the law in the hands of the
county officials, and that thus they
could establish comfortable blind
piggery.
It is estimated that in conse
quence of prohibition going into ef
fect, three million will mount the
water wagon in January.
A slump in Seattle real estate is
predicted on all sides, but there, is
still no noticeable Inclination upon

SHAW SATIRIZES
FORB’S PEACE PLAN
LONDON, Dec. 12.—Bernard
Shaw Is pouring out vitriolic ridi
cule on the Ford peace plan and sa
tirizes Ford himself to the limit

are practically equal to thoso of war
and these men are merely trying to
distract attention from this.
LONDON, Dec. 12.—The “pacific
statements” of Hollweg are still sub
jected to comment in the London
week end press. The general tone
implies that Germany must want
peace else why all this pother about
it.
LONDON, Dec. 12.—Germany’s
peace positions and the Balkan cam
paign are the subject of consider
able war comment. Greece’s ac
quiescence in the control of Salo
nika by the Allies is considered
possible because the German threats
were merely bluffs which that na
tion could not enforce against
Greece. The Allies’s position with
ample sea coast communication at
Salonika is considered safe for the
present.
BERLIN, Dec. 12.—It is believed
that Germany may grant the Poro
peace delegation safe passage
through Switzerland when the dele
gates visit that country.

knecht has been again arrested on

tions are genoral. Much depends

tude towards the Central Powers.

condition of the sky promised hope
that the cold and tho coal bill
would diminish. But maybe the

ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN
WASHINCTON COAL MINE
CARBONADE, Wash., Dec. 12.—
In the deepest levels today of the
Southern Pacific coal mine here, a
huge ledge of coal and rock sub
sided killing two who were working
in a room together at the time, and
cutting off eighty men from exit
from the mine.
The employees were imprisoned
from one o’clock this morning un
til two this afternoon.
| The cause of the subsidence is ex
! plained by the fact that the men
were new to the mine, and drilling
towards old workings, when they
worked out the intervening rock the
old ledge of rock came down upon
them, blocking the entire room and
gangway from the other workings.
