An army order issued tonight announces
that no volunteers will be accepted in the
future who are only able to devote TO train

mander-in-chief points out in this connec-
ton that modern warfare has SO changed

believed that this order will wipe out
large majority of the present volunteers.
The War Office has decided to withdraw
twenty batteries of artillery from South

the ground that under the present condi-
tons of guerrilla warfare the guns are of
little use and rather hinderance to mobil-

the consul, is for a plant or machine not

PEACE AND GOODWILL.
Argentines and ChiIeans Really Try
ing to Avert War.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a - Encouraging
news has reached the State Department
from Buenos Ayres and the officials have
renewed confidence that there will be a
peaceful settlement OF the serious dispute
between Chile and Argentine. Mr.. Lord,
United States minister at Buenos Ayres. has
reported by cable that the Argentine gov
eminent has concluded not 10 press the
demands upon Chile which threatened to
lead TO hostilities, but instead has decided
TO allow the issue TO go before the
boundary commission, which has for sew
eraI years been engaged in the delimitation
of the boundary. Moreover. Mr.. Lord re-
ports. that while the Argentine minister to
Chile has arrived in Buenos Ayres, the
Argentine legation at Santiago de Chile
has not been closed. and consequently di-
plomatic relations between the two coun-
tries have not been Interrupted as was
supposed from the report from our minister
IN Chile.
Commenting on the London reports 10 the
effect that the boundary commission could
not deal with the pending issue, being
limited In functions by the treaty which
created II to the definition OF the boundary.
IL is pointed out here that, admitting the
existence OF this limitation there is still no
good reason why, chile being willing, the
necessary additional authorization may not
be given the commission by mutual consent
OF the parties. Ine only doubtful question
remaining Is as Go Ckile's Willingness to
follow tie lead OF Argentina In giving ad-
ditional authorization to the boundary
commission. This doubt is rather a serious
one. for several days have elapsed since
Argentina made the proposition and Chile
has not yet signihed that the proposition
Is acceptable. On the contrary. while not
specifically declining. intimations have
reached the authorities here that Chile
did not look with favor on the latest move

An Austrian View.

VIENNA, Dec. 24.-The Neue Freie
Presse to-day, commenting on the Chile
Argentine situation, expresses the opinion
that war between the two countries would
seriously affect the interests of Europe
not only because of the enormous trans
oceanic trade which would be injured, but
because 1t might alter the relations be-
tween Europe and the United States.
Upon the latter" says the Neue Freie
Presse, armed with the Monroe doctrine
will devolve a role which will well suit
their Pan-American ideas, and the lively
interest of Europe centers largely In the
incalculable effects the war may have on
the relations between Europe and the
United States as to the development OF
these relations and constitutes the most
important world problem of the future"

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD HEROINE.
Three Lives Saved by the Goodness of
Little Maude Patterson.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Dec. 24.-Eight-year-
old Maude Patterson, last night, at the
risk of her own life, saved her sisters
home from being destroyed by fire and
probably saved the lives of her three little
nieces, aged six. four and two years. Maude
was left at the home of her sister, Mrs.
Charles Hanley, to care for the house
while Mrs. Hanley was Christmas shop
ping. Two slender lines hung with clothing
suspended over a lamp on the table,
caught fire. The flames mounted to the
ceiling. Maude. with rare presence of
mind. climbed on the table, grabbed the
burning mass and ran TO the door. Fortu-
nately the flames did not communicate to
the little heroines clothing. When the fire.
men arrived the girl had extinguished the
flames and was trying to dispel the fears
of the little ones.
