ister of militia, has ordered an i'm
mediate inquiry into the shooting Of
two American duck hunters at Fort
Erie by Canadian guards.

erable nervousness has been caused
along the border by reports OF raids

war the International boundary has
been strongly patrolled by military
guards who have orders to detaln for
examination all suspicious characters.
Officials at the state departme ent,
although without official advicss to-
night concerning the shooting OF two
Americans in Canadian Niagara
waters. near Fort Erie, pointed out
that If It were true the men we're
shot while defyins Canadian authority
there would ne no ground for repre-
sentatlon by the American govern
ment.

Bclges Protest.

The Belgian government has pro-
tested againet this step The issue, as
well as the cancellation OF an exc
quatur, are acts which imply the SOW
ereignty of the state from which they
emanate. Now, a power in military
occupation of territory only enjoys
a de facto possession which cannot
be transformed. insofar as its relations
with neutral nations are concerned,
into a state OF sovereignty Such a
change could only become lawful by
the contamination OF treaty OF peace

the occupied territory"

WARSAW ATTACK FAILS


LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Cll p. m) -
The battle lines iu the east and west
nave undergone few changes IN the
past day. French and German reports
agree that the Germans have captured
a section Of trenches mean HolieI exc,
south Of Ypres The French assert
that the Germans gave up trenches
on the first line TO the extent of ABOUT
500 or 800 yards In the Lens region
farther east, while uusucc ccsstul DC
monstrauons have been made from
10th sides at various points along the
extended lines
The reports of the numbers Of
wounded both armies are sending
hack from the lines in Belgium ap-
pear to show that the fighting on
Christmas in that country was the
flerccst OF the past month Core
spoudeuts In the rear say the Bel
CLANS. as a result Of five days sapplhg.
captured nearly 5000 Germans WIN
only small losses to themselves.
According to Russian reports, GER
man attempts to capture warsaw

statement says there Is general conf
deuce that the German and Austro-

Dlsbciievc Statement
English newspapers are enthusiastic
over the raid by their cruisers anu
seaplanes ON CuXhaSen. they con
slider improbable the German state
ment that, although ships at tuN-
haven and the gas works were MT D|
foombs, no damage was done
uNI r,1 ri tor
most remarkable engagement OF the
twentieth century warfare They
conclude that the German shlps
feared TO give battle to the British
cruisers because of the uncertainty az
10 whether the British battleships
were lurking behind them. The Iact
that the Zeppelins were driven orr Is
taken by some as evidence that the
Zeppelins really are untrustWorthy
craft. Others think II means mat the
Germans are outstanding all their
dirigibles for grand raid on Eng
land.
some writer's argue that If CuX-
haven can thus be attacked, why not
Helgoland. Wllhelmshaven and even
the Kiel canal.
Only One Killed.
The only damage the British eX-
pedition sustained was the loss OF sew
eral hydroplanes, while Commander
Hewlett was the only person who lost
his life.
The British people are losing what
ever fear Of the Zeppel rs they held
perhaps prematurely, but the exploits
of the alrmen on the continent and
the scouting trip of the German flyer
eyer Kent ON Christmas show there
10 a strong possibility that the Taubes
may repeat over London the visit with
bombs which they paid over Paris and
Warsaw.
The authorities issued a warning to-
night Of the danger to people in the
streets from guns which nay be used

advised the people to take refuge in
Easements if they heard the sound OF
explosives or guns.
