Rome, Dec. According to current
reports Germany does not look to
Italy as possible ally and is bending
all her efforts to keep that nation out
of the war. 1t is said that Prince Won
Buelow, now serving as ambassador to
Rome, has been authorized to arrange
the cession by Austria to Italy of the
province of Trent. This province,
formerly Italian territory and popu-
lated largely by Italians. has been in
possession of Austria for a century
Attacks by the allies thus far and
counter attacks by the Germans in the
west apparently have not made essen
tial changes in the positions of the
opposing armies. The Germans have
resumed the offensive in Belgium with
force. In the Argonne also hard
fighting is in progress.

BREAKERS
MAY JOIN UNION
INVITATION TO FORMER FOES
ISSUED BY COLORADO MINERS
LONG FIGHT is OVER.

Denver, Colo, Dec 9.-Strike break
ers now working in the Colorado coal
mines will be given an opportunity to
join the United Mine Workers OF
America, now that the strike has been
called off, according to John r. Law
son, Colorado member Of the executive
board of the organization.
A convention of district No. Is,
United Mine Workers, late last night
voted to call the strike off, effective
December 10.
The tent colonies will be continued
for the present, according to Lawson,
as they are the only homes the men
have.
No Work For All.
J. F. Welborn, president of the Col
orado Fuel and Iron company, issued a
formal statement on the termination Of
the strike. 1t follows:
"The calling off of the strike, now al
most fifteen months old, is naturally a
cause for general satisfaction. 1t
must, however, be borne in mind that:
"First-The general trade conditions
make it impossible for the mining COM
panies to give immediate or early en-
ployment to all Of the strikers who
have not been connected with any
violence although we will reemploy
such men as fast as vacancies occur or
improved trade conditions make it pos
sible.
"Second-The lawless element,
which is by no means small, has been
taught to not only disregard the rights
of the men at work and the property
of the owners, but to defy the law
"Third-The lawless element is eth
er fully armed or has arms hidden
away in convenient places.
"Fourth-The lawless and the mis-
guided alike will not relish the idea
of having their relief, small though it
has been, cut off in midwinter.
"Fifth-The tent colonies remain at
the strategic points and are occupied
by the lawless so-called strikers whose
resentment toward the men at work
will be even keener after being forsak-
en- by the strike leaders than it has
been before.
These conditions make it very evi-
dent that for time at least the large
army of workmen, to say nothing Of
the mining properties, must have the
protection of military forces. either of
the state or nation

Berlin, Dec 9.-There is published
here today a speech made on Decem-
Der by Emperor William at one OF
the army camps, composed of Ger
mans and Austrians, which he visited
on his recent trip to the eastern front.
"You are fighting for a just cause,
for liberty, for the right to exist as a
nation, and for future of prolonged
peace" said the emperor. Even
though the war should last long time
we shall not allow the enemy to have
a moments quiet.

our side. With God we shall achieve

sWEDEs PROTEST
LAYING OF MINES
CHARGE is MADE THAT GERMANS
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
WRECkING OF SHIPS.

Stockholm, Sweden, Dec. 9.-The
Swedish press is very indignant over
the planting of floating mines along the
coast of Finland, which has resulted
thus far in the loss of three large
Swedish steamers and the drowning OF
upwards of forty men.
Navigation of Finnish waters hither-
to has been unimpeded and no warning
of the laying of mines has been given.
Captains of Swedish steamers reaching
here declare they saw German war
ships near the Finnish coast Saturday
and Sunday; consequently the placing
of mines in these waters is credited
to the Germans.

Retiring Ambassadors Paid
Highest Honor By the French

Honor is the highest honor which the
French government can bestow. There
are, including Mr.. Herrick, only forty
five living persons, throughout the
world who have been thus decorated.
A spectacular reception was given
the retiring ambassador and his wife
v hen the vessel docked. The passen-
gers, nearly all natives of France,
lined the rail and cheered as Mr.. and
Mrs Herrick walked down the gang
plank and the cheering was taken up
by hundreds of persons who had gone
to the pier to greet him on behalf of
the city, state, nation and the state Of
Ohio.
Mr.. Herrick declined to talk for pub
lication on his experiences in France,
or to discuss the political situation in
this country.
Mr.. Herrick is the only living Amer
ican to wear the grand cross of the
Legion of Honor. So far as is known,
no other American was ever thus dec
Grated in the 112 years that have pass

Napoleon Bonaparte in 1902. Bona

Since that time the various degrees
of the order have been conferred in

achievement, particularly the latter.
The honor was conferred on many

AGGRESSIVE ACTION
NOT CONTEMPLATED
Row Breaks Out Among the
Leaders of the Villa
Faction in Mexico

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9.--No ag-
gressive action on the part of the
United States is contemplated in the
sending of additional troops and artiL
lery to Naco, Ariz. An official state
ment was issued today at the white
house.
Later Secretary Garrison said the
commanders at Naco had been ordered
not to fire across the Mexican border
unless they received orders to do so
from Washington.
After conference with President
Wilson, Secretary Tumulty made the
following statement:
ut has been thought wise to
strengthen the forces at Naco because
of the reckless carelessness of the
contending factions there, in falling to
control the direction of their fire. OF
course no aggressive action is con-
templated."
The reinforcements include three
batteries of artillery
A. number of messages have been
received from Americans living along
the border protesting against the con-
tinued firing into United States terri
tory by followers of General Hill and
General Maytorena More than a
score of people have been killed or
wounded on the American side.
Ell Paso, Texas, Dec. 9-The per
manent committee of twenty-one OF
the Aguas Calientes convention has
protested against the naming by Pro
visional President Gutierrez Of certain
of his cabinet officers, among them
Soto y Cana, close adviser of Gen
eral Zapata. This was reported today
in official advices from Mexico City to
Juarez officials.
From the interior came several
American and Mexican refugees with
stories of disorders at several points
1t was said that Villa soldiers few
days ago had entered the village OF
Galeana, Chihuahua, where the in
habitants favored the new Salazar re,
volt, and had executed one-half of the
men of the town. The others were
released with warning. Many OF
them later joined Salazar's little army,
Refugees from Mexico City said that
four prominent business and profes-
sional men of the capital had been
executed after the entry of the con-
vention forces Among them was
David Reyes Retana, a young attor.
ney of an old family in the capital.
Persons from Guadalajara declared
that the Carranza commander of the
that city had employed the Roman
Catholic cathedral there as a dance
hall for his officers.
