BRITISH CABINET RECOGNIZES PUBLICLY THE REVOLUTION
 EXISTING IN ULSTER.
KINGS PROCLAMATION MILD
Premier Asquith Takes Longest Step Ever Taken Toward Cancellation of the Ulsterites Who Have Been Smouldering Their Wrath.

London. Dec. 5-The British cabt- net, by a royal proclamation promul. gated tonight prohibiting the impor- tation of arms and ammunition into Ireland, for the first time grasped the neutle of the revolution fin Ulster. which it had hitherto ignored. al. though the followers of Sir Edward Carson for months have been adver. tising their military preparations in fyery possible way and daring in- reference with them.
 Almost at the time of publication Of the proclamation, Premier Asquith made the longest step toward the con cliation of the Ulsterites that the government has taken, announcing his acceptance of tine principles of i basis of agreement which Sir Ed ward Carson suggested in his last speech
 These principles are:
 First-that the settlement must not be humiliating or degrading to Ulste-.
 Second-Ulsters treatment must not he different or exceptional from that meted out to the other parts of the United Kingdom
 Third-Ulster must retain full pro tection Of the imperial parliament. Fourth-The home rule bill must
 not be such as to lead to ultimate separation of Ulster from Great Brit ain.
 Thus the government extends to the signers of the Ulster covenant the olive branch.
 The proclamation prohibiting the importation of arms and ammunition
 into Ireland which King George sign- ed at a meeting of tine pl.ivy council Thursday and which is published in the Royal Gazette tonight, was mild CT than rumors lad anticipated il would be.
 Instead of reviewing the Irish crimes aci, so odious to the old time home rulers, against whom it was directed, which prohibited the carrv- ing of arms, and gave drastic power to search for arms, it invokes the customs consolidation act of 1876
 The only reason given for taking the step is the statement, whereas, it is evident that the importation into Ireland of arms and ammunition and other goods hereinafter mention. ed should be prohibited, therefore. and the proclamation proceeds to specify all articles intended for or capable of being used for military purpoes as being under the ban.
 The comment of the Ulster leaders is to the effect hat the aing's proc. lamatlon came too iata They say there already are S0.oGo seryiceabls rifles. half of them modem weapons. and millions of rounds of ammnni. ton in the posses siGa of he Ulster volunteers.
 They argue that ' is easier to is- sue a proclamation than to prevent secret importation of rifles
 Besides, they claiia there $ noth- ing to prevent opening { gun factory in Belfast. that ;ie proclamation gives no power to search for arms and that the governments action will serve no purpose beyond na,1ing the admission of inc sssriUus- ness of the situation in Ulster
 Sir Edward Carson, in an Interview at Nottingham, said the proealanla- tion was too late.

Bryan. Texas. Dec 5.-A death list of more than 50, with scores of flood refugees spending tonight in immi- nent peril, and possibly a thousand others marooned and suffering from prolonged hunger, cold, and water soaking, was indicated by tonight g reports from the flooded Brazos river bottoms in this section of South Cen tral Texas
 For over 50 miles the Brazos was three to five miles wide and running with mill race speed.
 The known death list in Texas floods was 33 before reports from the inundated territory in this district began coming in late today, brought by men on horseback. which was about the onlH reliable mode of COR munication These courier reports indicated at least 20 more lives lost. About two-thirds of the drowned were negroes.
 The riders reports indicated that the property losses would run Sl,- GOO. GOO or $5,00O.000 when the Brazos losses are added to the already heavy to,al in other portions Of the state.
 The death at Valley Junction, near here, at o'clock this afternoon of Henry Martin, vice president and general manager of the International and Great Northern railroad, was confirmed tonight
 He lost his fife when his boat up- set as he was trying to rescue some of the marooned flood victims at Val ley Junction No details were ob- tainable. It was said. however, that he was handling his boat alone
 Martdn hurried to the junction, where the confluence of the Little and Big Brazos has made a swirl ing lake six miles across, to take command of his roads relief forces.
 Six members of the Galveston life saving crew, and a train load of mo tor boats from Houston, which were to have come to Bryan, we're stopped by high water at Navasota. The boats were launched at that point shortly before dary, and tonight be- gan the hard work of navigating up- stream over the flooded bottoms to rescue marooned negroes and whites, who are reported clinging to trees, on house tops, or occasionally stand ing in shallow water cut off from the shore
 Bryan has had 20 boats out all day, which have brought several hundred pelsons the majority terrified and half clad negroes to the nearest available bit of high ground.
 A train load of provisions with dry Blankets, was sent from here tonight to Kosarek, town on the edge of the bottoms, where 100 of these refu- gees had been unloaded by handfuIs all day.
 Throughout the bottoms, even where the water did not endanger life, 1t ruined most of the provisions in grocery stores, leaving the food supply very short.
 The greatest anxiety tonight was felt for scores of negroes whom the boa,men reported clinging to trees in rrecraious positions. These negroes already had spent 24 hours yet, chill

Ho1p She Discarded
Unsightly Complexion
Mona Morrow in Town Tattier.)

(Mona Mofrow IN Town Tattler.l
How often i exclaimed as I beheld
my ugly complexion in the mirror, "If
! only could tear off this old skim"
And. do you know, I've learned how
to do that very thing? Not to actu-
ally remove the entire skin all of a
sudden: that would be too heroic a
method and painful, too, imagine. The
worn out cuticle comes of in such
tiny particles, and so gradually-re-
quiring about ten days to complete
the transformation-itd doesn't hurt a
bit. Day by day the beautiful COM
plexion underneath comes forth. Mar
velous! No matter how muddy. rough,
blotchy or aged your complexion, you
can surely discard II by this simple
process. Just get an ounce of ordinary
mercolized wax at your druggists. ap-
ply nightly like cold cream, washing
1t of mornings.
My wrinkles I got rid of by an
equally simple method. BY dissolving
an ounce of powdered saxolite in a
half-pint witch hazel and bathing my
face in the solution, every line COM
pletely disappeared. First the finer
lines, finally even the deep crows
feet, vanished entirely
