1,ordon. Dec. 21.-The coordination OF
military movements in the east anu
west which has been observed since the
commencement of the war IS no"
shown In a striking way in the offensive
movement of the allies in northern
France and Flanders keeping the Ger
mans engaged and preventing thet'

dare and France during the past rev

] cIung tenaciously to their posltiohs Aoa
| So many weeks, is regarded here as
! nracticularly noteworthy, as the, Ger
mans spearpoint there had presented an
Irritating problem. The advance OF tne
allies thus far has been slow. but Brl.-
ish military critics expect II TO salN
impetus.
Reports Unconfirmed.
London have received
the report that the allies have captured
Roulers in one Of the most furlousl9
contested regions of Flanders. Lake
the rumored capture of Westende, now
ever, this report lacks oftlclal cohllf'
nation. About all that is known aet'
initelv of the situation in the west i
that the allies are exerting steady pres
sure at the German line and while az
vancing in some localities, nave SUI
fered reverses elsewhere.
1t is indicated by the German wa
office statement of today h a the OF
fensive in the west now rests WITH IN
allies. The Berlin communicating
speaks of a series OF hostile attack
which. it is said, were repulsed; IN
French statement however asserts ths
further important advantages nav
been won by the allies who, appareh

London has elaborated he trade
school idea to include the work OF OUT
fitting the women with an equipment
to face life's struggle. In the six trade
schools of London, four of which are
under the direct control of the London
county county council, and two OF
which are connected with the poly
technic institutions, aided by grants
from the London county council, varl-
us trades of the traditional feminist
classes, such as d~ressmaking, ladles
tailoring, corset making, millinery
embroidery, waistcoat making, cooking
laundry work and upholstery, are be-
Ing taught. In addition to competent
teachers these schools have enlisted IN
their interest advisory committees OF
employees of the classes of work women
being developed by the schools, one re-
cult of which is that employment at
profitable wages awaits h capable
students at these schools. The Voc
cational school idea is spreading anu
extending throughout the civilized
world, with the result that it brightens
the prospects of youth and heartens
young people with the knowledge tina
they will enter upon their career WITT
some technical acquaintance with ano
some manual dexterity in those lines
of work In which the world stands con
stantly in need OF workers.

 The appearance of Leo Kahn for mer special agent for the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, as wit ness for the operators was the sig nal for severe cross examination by James Brewster who sought to bring out an admission that Kahn had served as a spy to ferret out union secrets. The witness denied he was employed in that capacity.
 In the direct examination, Kahn testified that in July, 1913, he heard Edgar Wallace, editor of the official publication of the United Mine Workers, advise a group of miners to buy rifles. take to the hills, and not be bit particular whom they picked off in the event of a strike

The infantry, artil- lery and cavalry in the bodyguard, with General Juan Cabral, were sent to Cananea by Carranza to put d stop to the anti-Chinese riots.
 A delegation from Villa met Car ranza at Nogales. Adrian Benevides, Jose Garcia and General Verduche brought full reports from Villa at Chihuahua, explaining the execution of Benton.
 The presence of CarranZa here puts at rest rumors that he had disap- peared. Prominent Mexicans in Tue son fear there is friction between Villa and Carranza regarding the re- cent trouble of Villa with the United States by reason of his executions, etc

 LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26-Defeat ing Barney Oldfield by a trifle more than a minute in a 294-mile grind Ralph De Palma won his second Vanderbilt cup race on the Santa Monica course. His time was 3:53:41, Oldfield's S:55:O1. Sixteen cars were entered in the race but only five finished From the eight eenth lap to the finish the contest was solely between De Palma and Oldfield and the former won because he did not have to stop once in all the thirty five laps of the eight mile course Oldfield forfeited his chance when he was compelled to stop to change a wheel in the thirty fourth lap when he lost nearly minute The other drivers who re- mained in the race were, W. H. Carlson of San Diego Earl Cooper, who started as a favorite, and George Joeriman, all of whom finished in the order named De Palma's aver age speed was 76.6 miles per hour, slower by three miles per hour than the course record set by Teddy Tetz- laff, but faster than the Vanderbilt cup record, 74.07 miles, made by Null ford at Savannah in 1911, and faster than the speed De Palma made when he won the cup race at Milwaukee in 1912
 There was one accident during the race, Edwin Pullen, who made one Of the fastest laps of the day at eightfive miles per hour, was leading in the fourteenth lap. He took a turn at a terrific rate and crashed into an iron barricade which pro- tected the throng of spectators. His car was wrecked, but Pullen and his mechanician were unhurt.
 The first lap of the race was not completed when the mishaps began and the number of racers were re- duced to seven. who quit or were ordered out before half of the race was completed. Harry Grant, who was the first to start, did not finish the first lap.
 Wishart lasted three laps, Dave Lewis was declared out in the sec ond. Marquis, Goode and Pullen fol- lowed in the order named. then Gill Anderson, who held the lead from the fourteenth lap to the eighteenth, broke a drive shaft. De Palma was second at this time and Oldfield, who never was less than fourth, slipped into third place, started to catch De Palma. By the twenty fifth lap Old field was leading De Palma, but not in time. as he started ahead. Old field was gradually gaining when his tire burst De Palmas prize is $3,000, Oldfield's $2,000.

The mission was success ful beyond the expectations of the representatives of the association.
 Captain Christy returned home yesterday morning. President Orme will return this morning.
 Regarding the bill for the exten- sion of the time for the repayment for the project. Captain Christy said that the terms of the bill had been agreed upon in the conference and were to be printed last Monday He and MT. Orme left on the previous Saturday It was agreed in the first place that no consideration would be gi, en the time for throwing the pro- ject open until the proposed legisla- tion had been enacted. In the opin- ion of Captain Christy, the opening would not take place before October of 1915. and perhaps not before Jan uary 1 of the following year. It was agreed that the period for re- payment should be twenty years Within year after the opening the first of the graduated payments will be made They were graduated as follows: Payment for first four years. per cent of total cost of the dam each year; four per cent to be paid each of the next four years; six per cent each of the next eleven years; ten per cent the last or twen- tieth year.
 According to the telegram received from Representative Hayden, the schedule of payments has been | changed, continuing the six per cent payments for fourteen years after the first eight years and confining the four per cent payments to two years The deferred payments will not draw interest.
 In the case of expenditures, said Captain Christy, after a project has been declared open, repayment shall 
 be made according to the graduated scale, but the first payment is not | to be made until after the payments | for the project have been completed | The bill as agreed to appropriates | $10O, 900 900 for the completion of the
 projects now under way, though it is | likely that other appropriations will | be made for the carrying out of | other desirable projects. It is the | desire of Secretary Lane. backed by | the president. to push the work oi reclamation with the greatest vigor | It was agreed at the conference
 that the fixing of the date for the
 opening of the project should not be
 until the proposed legislation has | been enacted. Ample time will be
 allowed homesteaders under the Salt
 river project to qualify, that is. fol
 the owners of excess holdings to dis pose of the areas beyond which they 1 cannot have water from the reservoir for irrigation and for the homestead CTS to reduce their holdings to the
