Passed the Senate by Vote
Of 81 to "a.
VICTORY FOR THE PRESIDENT
And Considered His Most
Notable Achievement
Since in Office.
GOT SOLID DEMOCRATIC VOTE

Washington, Dec. 29.-What will
probably rank as President Wilson's
greatest legislative achievement was
the passage of the Currency Bill by
the Senate tonight. The vote was
"a to "a. Although the measure
passed was the fruit of Democratic
caucuses, was drafted, revised and
completed by Democratic officials
and was pushed by Democratic
Administration, the following Re-
publican and Progressive Senators
supported 1t as real relief (the best
obtainable at this time) of restricted
credit and financial conditions:
Weeks, of Massachusetts,; Crawford,
of Soouth Dakota; Jones, of Wash
ington; Norris, Of Nebraska; Per-
kins, of California; Poindexter, of
Washington, and Sterling, of South
Dakota.
Not one Democrat voted against
the bill, even Senator Hitchcock,
who led revolt against some of it's
features, casting his lot with that of
his party. He said he believed the
measure works real reform and
that his opposition had improved
the first draft of the Currency Bill
materially. He hoped it would dis
sipate the clouds that now lower
over our business" Senator La Fol-
lette, angered because the Democrats
accepted only one of two eleventh
hour amendments offered by him,

In driving the bill through Con-
gress before the first Christmas of
his Administration, the President
performed his most notable achieve
ment. for the great mass of the peo-
pie and majority of the Congress
took the measure on the President s
say-sO. To be sure, currency reform
was one of the three great pledges
of the Baltimore platform, but less
was known of it's details than of any
other important subject before the
people.
OF the tariff and trust reform the
man on the street can talk with in
formation; of currency reform only
few experts can debate. The peo-
pie have been educated to the point
where they know Democratic Tar.
in Bill from Republican measure
and their leaders can explain the
merits of the fredericksburg
Tariff Bill, just passed, to voters
who understand. But not one Con-
| gresham out of fifty has a real GRASP
of the technical currency question
and therefore the forty-nine had to
have their opinion formed for them
OF the public at large, not one
man in a hundred thousand compre-
hends even the theory of currency
reform. Therefore the great mass
of the people had to have their opin-
ions formed for them. All these
looked to the President. He espous-
ed the Glass-Owen Bill warmly; he
pointed out that ii was a necessary
complement of tariff legislation; he
promised that panics would be I'M
known once the Currency Bill was
ON the statute books. The public
accordingly backed the bill with the
great silent forces which it controls
and soon all Congress felt the
strength of that Endorsement.

CONFISCATION LAST RESORT

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 22.-Northern
Mexico is to be made a wilderness.
Realizing the impossibility of cap
turing the country from the rebels
Victoriano Huerta has ordered the
remnants of his army, now at DINA
ga, to begin a campaign of destruc-
ton that will make the States OF
chihuahua and Coahuila untenable
for Pancho Villa and his followers.
Villages are to be laid waste and
farms swept off the map. The cam
paign will be similar to that waged
several months ago against zapata
in Southern Mexico.
Particular attention is to be paid
the Mormon colonies in the vicinity
of Casas Grandes.
Inez Salazar, the Socialist Gener-
al, has been chosen by Huerta to
command the column of destruction
that will march against the Nor
mons.
Two years ago, during the Orozco
revolution, Salazar destroyed much
of the Mormons' property and forced
them to flee to the United States.
Salazar's orders, as learned here,
are to march from Ojinaga to Casas
Grandes, sweeping path 20 miles
wide for the entire distance. Every
thing in this path will be destroyed.
No attack will be made on Juarez at
the present time, the idea simply be-
ing to make the northern portion of
the State untenable.
WhileSalazar is thus engaged Pas
cual Orozco will proceed up the Con-
chos river from Ojinaga, through
Cuchillo Parade, to Santa Rosalia,
where a junction will be formed
with Generals Veladeo and Nava-
rette from Torreon. The combined
armies will then attack Chihuahua
City. Both armies will destroy ev-
erything possible on their marches
to Santa Rosalia.
General Salvador Mercado, SUI
preme Federal commander in Chi
huahua, has been ignored in the new
campaign and has been recalled to
Mexico City. His action in evacuat-
ing chihuahua City and fleeing to
the border is responsible for the or
der of recall.
Salazar's march to the Mormon
colonies is expected to start within
the next three days. He will follow
the Mexican side of the Rio Grande
for a short distance and then swing
southwark. crossing the Mexican
Central at Villa Ahumada and the
Mexican Central at Casas Grandes.
Both railroads will be destroyed,
cutting the rebels off from Juarez
and Chihuahua.
Salazar is thoroughly familiar
with the country of Western Chihua-
hua. He is hated by the Mormons,
and his orders to exterminate the
colonies, burn all houses. barns,
stores and other buildings are said
to please him. Everything that can
be burned is to be destroyed. All
forage, grain. food and other sup
plies not needed by the column is to
be destroyed, and all houses. barns
and courthouses, farming imple-
ments and machinery burned.
All men found in the path Of the
Salazar column are to be impressed
into the service or shot. and the wo-
men and children left to shift for
themselves. All rebels found within
the zone are to be executed without
trial. and all known rebel sympa-

A Peculiar Outline.

TT is when studying the newest
wraps for day and for evening
wear that one realizes to the full
the curious change of outline which
has stolen into the world of fashion.
For some time past we have been talk
ing good deal about vague" out
lines, and of course 1t has been evident
that loose and exaggeratedly pictur-
esque draperies were becoming more
and more popular. But with the open
ing of the autumn and winter season
we are brought face to face with the
fact that absolutely shapeless garments
are going to be the only possible and
that women will have to take good
deal Of trouble in order to wear these
garments with good effect. Yes. 1t Is
true that the wraps and NANTES of
to-day make great demands upon their
wearers. They can, with fatal ease, be
made to look dowdy and unattractive:
they can, on the other hand. be made
to look supremely smart.
Everything depends on the individu-
Atty Of the wearer. To illustrate my

casual observer might we'll suppose that
such q wrap would make It's wearer
look unnecessarily old. but this Is not
the case; when the new vague wraps
are cleverly arranged on the figure
they supply an air of Old World grace
and charm! The Innings of such wraps
as this are of extreme importance: they
are frequently very beautiful In tex
ture as well as color and they give de-
lishtfll effects when the wrap is thrown
back in q restaurant or concert room.
The short mantle shown on the sec

by one of the most exclusive dressmak-
ers In the Place Vendome as lining
for winter wraps. 1t can be dyed almost
anv color and the hairs are so short and
thick that the whole thing looks more
like some specially soft wooiien material
than like the skins Of an animal.

Some of the new millinery models are
startling in outline. Claude Cherys has
sketched the latest toque this week, and
think it must he admitted that Its
design is unexpected. This toque Is IN
truth a "biretta" 1t liz shaped exactly
like the caps worn by Roman Catholic
priests and 1t fits down on the head as
closely as a bathing cap.
