Although for the moment the Russians have ceased their attack upon the Austro-German lines from the Pripet river to the Bessarabian frontier, information from German eources is that they have not given up the venture, but are merely reorganizing their forces for another formidable assault. ! Russians Fortifying Position | The Russians are reported as fort fying: the positions recently won by them, ang in this way their front has been gradually extended until they occupy about 34 miles of the east bank of the middle reaches of the Stripa river, a position which, is is deemed here, is secure against recapture by the 'Austro-Germans. Interest in Champagne Region. As far as the western front is con- cerned, the center of interest is still in the Champagne region. According to French accounts there was clearly nothing casual or ordinary about the big German attack which the French claimed they successfully stopped. The French lines here make a tempting sallent. but the position evidently has been made correspondingly strong. Paris claims that the French by vig- orous. counter-attacks expelled the Germans from all except a small sec- tion of the trenches which they had won in Champagne. Compulsion Bill frisis Over.

SPEAKERS FOR THE WOMAN’S PEACE PARTY Address Senate and House Committees on Foreign Relations, Washington, Jan. 1l.—Speakers for the Woman's Peace party, headed by Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, pleaded with the senate and house committees on foreign relations today to enlist the strength of the United States to help end the European power. Miss Addams told the committees all Hurope was ready for peace, the belligerent nations, most of all, if it could be gained for them without sac- cifice ‘of dignity and_standing. Five Buropean neutrals—Holland, Switzer. land, Norway, Sweden and Denmark— Had assured her, she said, they would participate in a peace conference of neutral nations if called by the United States and two of themi promised to call such a conference if assured that the United States would ipate. Besides Miss Addams, Miss Sophr nisba Breckenridge of Chicago} Mrs. Crystal Eastman Benedict, Miss Lucia Ames Mead and Miss Zona Gale ad- dressed the house committee in the morning and repeated their state- ments to the senators in the afternoon. They urged adoption of a joint res- olution introduced by Representative Curry which would empower the pres- ident to invite all nations to send del- egates to a convention to provide for disarmament, create an international legislature, court, army and police. Introduced by Chairman Stone, chairman of the committee, as the of- ficial peace disciple of the senate, Senator John Sharp Willlams told the peace advocates that, as instructive as their addresses had been, they had failed to convince him that the great body of American women believed that peace took precedence over all na- tional virtues. more than 20 or 30 1n opposition, as contrasted “with 105 on the first read- e today an- foss 1ot app Joha Red- of to ] it position 'in the 3 old MILK PRODUCERS OPPOSED TO NEW CARRYING RATES On the Boston and Maine Railroad— Annual Meeting Held in Boston.

ONE MADE HIS ESCAPE Wae On the End of the Line—Broke Away and Fled Into the Desert Until He Could No Longer Hear the ‘Whistle of Bullets. El Paso, Texas, Jan. 11—Seventeen persors, all thought to be Americans, returning from! Chihuahua City to reopen mines at Cusihuirlachio, Chi- huahua, were taken from a Mexican Northwestern train yesterday by ban- dits, stripped and lined up along the track for execution, according to a message received here today from Thomas M. Holmes, one of the sev- enteen, who made his escape. Whether the execution of the T maining 16 Americans was carried out is not known definitely here but it is feared all weer killed. It is supposed the bandits belonged to_the forces of General Jose Rodri- guez, a Villa supporter known to be operating in Chihuahua against the de facto government. Censorship of Despatches. Almost immediately after the first news of the raid was received a cen- sorship was imposed on the wires be- tween Juarez and Chifluahua City by the Carranza officials. This action was taken ,it was sald, “until the story could Le verified from official Mexican sources.” How One Man Escaped. According to the brief messages re- ceived here, the train bearing the Americans Was stopped by the bandits at Kilometer, about ffty miles west of Chinuahua City. The mining men were taken from the train, robbed, stripped ‘naked and lined up along the cars for execution. Holmes, it is saii, was on the extreme end of the line. - As the firing squad detafl- ed by the bandit leader took position, it is said, Holmes broke away and fled into the desert for his life. With feet and body cut and bleeding from stones and sharp cactus, he ran without 1ook- ing back until he no longer heara the whistle of bullets pass him or the sound of firing. \ He succeeded in reaching friendly Mexicans, it is reported and was aid- ed back to Chihuahua City.

NO OFFICIAL ADVICES AT STATE DEPARTMENT Authorities Hoping That Report Will Prove Erronoceus. ‘Washington, Jan. 11.—Reports from El Paso that sixteen Americans were killed west of Chihuahua by Villa ban- dits will, if confirmed, result in urgent representations by the United States to Carranza to increase his efforts to capture Villa or destroy his forces. No official advices regarding the affair had been received at the state de- artment tonight and officials were opeful that the report received in El1 Paso by the American Smelting and Refining company might prove erroneous. After it became evident that Villa did not intend to cross the interna- tional boundary line into the United States and stop fighting when the greater part of his army went over to Carranza, General Obregon assured agents of the American government that troops would be dispatched ai once to hunt him down. Most of the troops sent after Vilila, however, have been used since in garrisoning towns along the northwestern railroad. No action will be taken by _the United States in the case of the kill- ing of Peter Keane in Chihuahua by General Medinvieta, Secretary La 10 0d Principles CONVENTION .Ml TIME AND PLACE AS REPUBLICAN. —_— IN CHICAGO, JUNE 7 In Hope That Both May Agree on the Same Candidate for President—To Nominate a National Ticket in Any Event—Roosevelt Sends Letter. Chicago, Jan. 11.—The progressive party will hold its national convention June 7 in Chicago, concurrently with the national convention of the repub- lican party in the hope that both may agree on the same candidate for pres- ident.

Be- fore adjourning the committee adopt- ed a declaration of principies in which the administration of President Wilson was_criticised for its alleged failure to deal with national hohor anmd in- dustrial welfare and the progressive party went on record as favoring a complete preparedness programme con- sisting of military armament as well as a mobilization of all the country’s Tesources with a view of the unifica- tion of American citizenship. A message was read from Theodore Roosevelt urging the necessity of gde- quate preparedness which was enthu- siastically applauded. To Nominate a National Ticket. Progressive leaders declared that there would be no amalgamation with the republican party even in the event of both parties choosing the same presidential candidate. The progres- sive party plans to nominate a nation- al ticket at its convention in June. Roosevelt Not Essent Many of the party leaders declared that if the republicans will nominate Roosevelt .or any other man who is regarded as unobjectionable and will incorporate in its platform the calient features of the progressive principles, | both parties will unite on the same candidates next June. In discussing the declaration of principles, George W. Perkins, of New York, safd: No Biuff or Threat. “The declaration issued by the na- tional committee means just what i says. It was prepared Ereat care. There is nothing of bluff or & Tatr’ threat-in-it.

Mohr incited the negroes to slay her husband be- { cause she was “worried” by the divorce suit that was pending and also feared that Dr. Mohr was going to put all his money in the name of Miss' Emily G. ‘Burger, his secretary. * Powerful Motives for Mrs. Mohr. “There were several strong and powerful motives for Mrs. Mohr to want her husband killed,” said Mr. Phillips. “She was a desperate woman and we will show you that she was ex- tremely jealous of Miss Burger.” Story of the Attack. Mr. Phillips said that Dr. Mohr was attacked on Aug. 31, 1915, while in an automobile on his way from this city to his Newport residence, accompanied by Miss Burger; that the negro chauf- feur, George Healis, stopped the car while passing through teh of woods near " fomyand: that o { doctor and N urger . were from ambush. - The chauffeur picked ¢ P:AW 5 and m her to the side road.
