C"lh- lD Nilf Nph htlHutN 0tNtillN Ol the weather the conference between General Hugh l.. Scott. chief of stan of the United States army and Gen. eral Benjamin Hill, commander of the Carranza forces 'n Naco has been postponed indefinitely General Scott could not get out of his camp into the town of Mac yesterday, owing to the heavy water in the creek which separates the camp and the town.
 Another element has entered into the proposed conference between Governor Maytorena and General Scott It has developed that, accord ing to the constitution of the state of Sonora. the governor can now come outside of the territory of the state for such purpose
 According to Maytorena is would require a special act of the Mexican congress to grant the permission re- quisite for him to go across the line It is considered likely that Provisional President Gutierrez will be asked to waive the obstacles in order that the conference may be held.
 In case this technicahty is eliminat. ed it is barely possible the conference may be held in Nogales. Governor Maytorena can reach Nogales by rail as can also General Scott
 Though General Scott will make no statement in regard to the wishes of the United States in the matter it is understood from sources close to the head that Maytorena will be asked to retire twenty kilometers from the boundary line Hill will also be lm portuned to retire to a like distance and occupy relative positions to thoa1 which they now hold in and around NacO.
 Though it is not known definitely it is felt in quarters familiar with the workings of the Maytorena camp thal the Governor or Sonora Will not acceed to the wishes of Scott The Governor, it seems, feels that he will be placed at material disadvantage if he should go out of his present lines to such a distance from the bor- der

It was intended the vessel be blown up after she got to sea
 Worry over the prospective loss of innocent lives is believed to be re- sponsible for the discovery of the plot. Of those arrested. Peter Lang laan, when questioned by detectives who have been at work on the case for ten days, said he told them while he was willing to blow up French and English ships. he was not will ing to see persons not directly con. nected with the war die

Progress of Allies in West Is
 Slow - Military Critics Be lieve Advances Will Make German Positions Weaker.

LONDON, Dec. 22-Heavy fighting is taking place on both the eastern and western fronts, but without pro ducing any material change m the positions of the opposing armies
 In France and Belgium the Allies offensive is being pressed while some ground has been gained at widely separated points and other attacks have been repulsed by the Germans from strongly entrenched positions
 In the northern area artillery and warships yesterday took up the bat tie, giving the infantry a rest, but lower down the line. from Disc to Mouse fierce fighting took place in many districts
 While the progress of the Allies of the military experts here and in France that the gains which the gen. eral staff has been able to report are disturbing the Germans system of Notifications at vital points and will if successfully continued, compel the retirement by the Germans from this present ines.
 In the east. most of the Germans north of the Vistula have retired across the East Prussian frontier before an onrush of Russian forces. but south of that river. between the Bzura and Pilica, the Germans con tinue their advance. but south of that river, it is announced tonight that in a fierce battle they succeeded in cross. ing branches o ftha Bzura and the Rawka rivers in many places. This should bring the main armies very close together and a few days will tell whether the German advance is 10 be definitely checked or whether the Germans are again .o threaten Warsaw
 Fighting also continues iu Galicia, but here as along the East Prussian frontier the Russians have been sue cessful in holding back the Austro- German forces.
 The Germans who are extremely strong along the whole eastern iron. tier are already reported to be nov ing troops back to the west to meet the Allies offensive, but it is not con sidered likely that this movement will reach large proportions until some decisive result has been attain ed in the contest against the Russians

 Immediately after the announce ment of the vote. the house adjourn ed, the crowds whihc packed the gal leries throughout the prolonged de- bate. dispensing with mingled ex- pressions of regret and jubilation
 Prohibition leaders declare a ma iority for the resolution fulfilled their expectations. as they had not hoped for a two thirds vote this time. Whether similar resolutions pending in the senate submitted Senator sheppard of Texas. would reach vote in the senate this session is not certain tonight
 Administration leaders are inclined to believe, however. that is would not in view of the action of the house.

 Although advocates of the Hobson resolution frankly predicted 1t would receive a majority vote. many of them. including Hobson. conceded at the start that the resolution would not receive the required two-thirds vote necessary for adoption
 Before the final roll call Hobson presented an amendment which was adopted giving to congress and to states concurrently" power to en- force prohibition by needful legisla- tion. The amendment offered by Adamson to give states absolute con- trol of prohibition under the pro. posed prohibition amendment was voted down on a rising vote by ITS to S2

PETROGRAD, Dec 22.-The heavy German column has been driven across the East Prussian frontier from Mlawa in Russian Poland, by the Russians spreading out to the east and west according to reports from the front.

THE back part of the cave is

wonderful birds are pecking at
bright and remarkable flowers.
Behind 1t lies featherspring mat

Now come and look well
round. On the trunk of a birch
tree which supports the roof
hangs nice big red clock. which

sounds the hours with such
sweet silvery voice as II it had

And White Damask.
THE whole room is hung with
a white damask, the ceiling too
so that 1t looks just like snow.
On the ground is spread a thick
soft Smyrna carpet, and in one
corner stands a little stove with
colored glass panes, In which the
dry wood crackles and burns so
cheerily that 1t is quite delightful.
On the walls hang a grand mirror
aud number of colored pictures,
which | nailed up-postcards and
