It is expected that prompt action will be taken by Presi- dent Wilson in naming a successor. THREE LINERS SUNK WITHOUT WARNING (Continued from Page 1) boats are believed to have been cleared. Consul General Skinner has wired the American consul at Alexandria to get the story of the sinking of the Persia from Charles Grant of Boston, believed to be the only American survivor. This story is of utmost importance as upon it depends whether or not the United States will take action. IS SERIOUS CRISIS. Washington, Jan. 3.—President ‘Wilson will leave Hot Springs to- night with his bride to return to this city on account of the sinking of sev- eral liners and the complicating of European troubles. It is not attempt- ed here to minimunize the seriousness of the situation. It is reported that the president’s next statement on submarine warfare will likely be an address to the en- tire world. It will be an announce- ment of the Wilson doctrine and the rights of Americans the world over. Unless official dispatches disclose the nationality of the submarine that sank the Persia it is reported that Bulgaria and Turkey will be asked for this information, as well as Ger- many and Austria. PENSIONS FOR ALL THE BLIND BEGIN IN ILLINOIS TODAY Springfield, Ill., Jan. 3.—Pensions for the blind became effective in Illi- nois today. Each blind man above the age of 21 and each blind woman above the age of 18 will be paid $150 a year in quarterly installments, by the counties in which they live. Pro- vision is made for competent medical examination and for regulation to prevent fraud. The act providing the pensions was passed by the last general assembly. It was introduced by Representative Tom Gorman of Peoria. The number of beneficaries has been variously estimated at from 20,000 to 40,000. “CONTINUATION SCHOOL” FOR CHILD LABOR OPENS Beaver Falls, Pa., Jan. 3.—Beaver Falls today opened a new kind of public school, with an enrollment of nearly 100 young pupils. It is the ‘““continuation school,” started under the new Pennsylvania child labor law which makes it compulsory for em- ployed minors to receive at least eight hours educational instruction week- ly. The scholars’ ages are from 14 to 16. Some of them will attend two hours a day, while. others will make up their eight hours by two four-hour shifts. School days are Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs- days. JEWS LEAVE RUSSIA. Berlin, Jan. 3.—It is reported that all Jews have been ordered to leave Petrograd. It is denied that a Swedish gun- boat was pursued by two German tor- pedo boats. It was reported that they had rammed the steamer. The newspapers here are taking the view that the Austrian Ancona note shows that the "Austrians have their whole heartedness and inten- tion to prevent a break with the United States. They state that Aus- trfa has done everything possible. The Overseas News agency dispatch today states that the uprising in Tripoli reported last month resulted from the expulsion of Italians. When the Sultan of Turkey proclaimed a holy war all arose, fighting the Brit- ish and Italians. The Morgen Poet today has an ar- ticle stating that orders have been given to the forces to enter Greece and attack the Allies. TO FORM POLISH PAPER IN ST. PAUL St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 3.—Directors of the Minnesota Polish Publishing conmipany met here tonight to formu- late final plans for launching some time during February a Polish weekly newspaper.

Objeots Are Attained: The northern campaign, in the Trentino and Carnic regions, has closed with the object attained. After months of the seyverest and most dif- ficult mountain warfare, heroic strug- gles on precipitous battlegrounds, the Alpine troops, Bersaglieri and in- fantry with heavy artillery, some- times drawn up the mountainsides with ropes, have battered fort after fort into dust, stormed and captured hitherto impregnable Austrian defen- ses, and consolidated the conquered crags and valleys against a success- ful counter-offensive. The floodgates of invasion for which Austria has been preparing since 1866 and which she has boasted would give her the city of Verona before Italy could reach Sorizia, are now closed against her with double bar and lock. Weeks of desperate fighting against terrific odds were sometimes required by the Zialians to take a single fort- ress or position in this phase of the campaign, ‘While this was going on, the sec- ond part of the general staff plan was being executed in the Isonzo valley. On June 2 King Victor’s - armies crossed the Isonzo. On June 9, Mon- falcone fell to Gen. Cadorna. Two days later Gradisca had succumbed and the Austrians retreated to Gori- zia. On July 7, the bridgehead at Gorizia was reached by the Italians, where for five months the ebb and flow of battle has soaked the soil with Italian and Austrian blood. A gen- eral advance from Tolmino to Mon- falcone July 22 still found Cadorna’s troops before' Gorizia locked in the death struggle. Italian Losses Heavy. Gorizia’s loss would mean a severe blow to Austria and all means are employed to defend it. Reinforce- ments were brought from Galicia, and it was only the timely arrival of German regiments on one occasion that saved the Austrians from disas- trous rout in the sector north of Plava. ) During the latter days of Novem- ber the Austrian resistance at Gori- zia’'began to weaken. December 1 found the city invested from three sides, the surrounding. fortresses pounded to fragments by Ifalian howitzers and the town defended by only a single line of trenches. Ital- ian shells of heavy. calibre were ploughing through the streets. The fall of-Gorizia would give Gen- eral Cadorna’s troops access to all the roads leading toward Villach to the north, Laibach to the east, and Trieste to the south. The invest- ment of Trieste would mean an ex- peditious occun'atlon of the Istrian peninsula, including, Pola, refuge of the Austrian fleet. According to the latest estimates the total Austrian casualties in the Italian campaign are more than 300,- 000, of which 60,00 are killed. Aus- trian prisoners in Italy number 50,- 000. The Italian losses, too, have been heavy, but probably less than the Austrian. & Mina A. Myers—Hairdressing, etc. Switches made from combings, $1.50.

They are members of the Plymouth Congregational church. Their marriage was the result of a college romance at Carleton college. She was Mary Cross when J. A. A. Burnquist, polite and retiring college student, met her on the campus of Carleton. When state house attaches tele- phoned Burnquist of the death of Hammond, Mrs. Burnquist had just completed reading to him. He was sick at their home. .
