SNOW ENToMBS FOUR IN TENT
Hunting Party In West Forced to Dig
Fifty Foot Tunnel.

Reno, Nev.-MarOOned by a twelve
foot fall of snow, r. d. Hawley, an
eastern banker, and three companions
on a hunting trip were forced to
spend week in tent on one Of the
peaks of the Peavine mountain range.
The snowstorm was so severe that
the men were obliged to remain in
their tent until their provisions ran
out. They then dug tunnel fifty feet
long and succeeded in killing some
game. One Of the party fell and
sprained his knee.
Mountain lions prowled about the
tent and once even penetrated into the
tunnel, but We're driven away.

The voters of Ohio should keep this
fact steadily in mind that ninetyfive
one-hundredths of all the political roar
now heard in this State is the yelping OF
hungry office. seekers. What Jimmie
Cox" has got somebody else wants-and
that is about all the principle that is in
vo1ved in the issues so far made up.
Don't forget it, Mr.. Voter: the hungry
office-seekers in all parties are making
roars like packs of wolves, and when you
hear them barking (mostly demagogy)
look behind the noise and size up the
hungry wolves.

BRITAIN STIRRED
BY THE KILLING
OF VIM. S. BENTON

London. February 23.-The British Par
lament and press have been stirred by
the recent killing of William S. Benton,
British subject, by order of the Mex
lean constitutionalist general, Francisco
villa, at Juarez. and today the question
of protection for British interests and
for Englishmen residing In Mexico was
made the subject of earnest consideration
both in the House of Commons and the
columns of newspapers
Sir Edward Grey. secretary of state
for foreign affairs, outlined the attitude
OF the British government and the nature
OF tho communications which the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington had had
with the government of the United States
lle said that Sir Cecil Spring Rice had
told Secretary of State Bryan that the
public opinion of Europe was likely to
be seriously affected by the action OF
General villa. which announcement was
greeted with a cheer.
The foreign secretary assured the
House that the government was taking
all possible steps to learn the facts of
the Benton case, and TO secure full pro-
lection for its nationals in Mexico, but
pointed out that the government was
powerless to take any measures in the
Want Pacificati0n
Francis Dyke Acland, parliamentarian
under secretary for foreign affairs, made
an earlier statement. in which he said
THE pacification of Mexico is an OBJ
tect We earnestly desire to see accom-
plished. but 1t Is impossible to effect
1t by British Intervention. We do not
intend to make any attempt of that char
acter. which would be both futile and
lnipolitic."'
That the British government is con-
cerned over the reported disappearance
of other Europeans In Mexico is evil
denced by the fact that Sir Edward has
communicated with the ambassador at
Washington respecting steps that It might
De possible to take to '-scertain the
whereabouts of these people
The newspapers, while awaiting the re-
suit of the inquiry instituted by the
United States government, practically
are united in condemning the action of

French government appear 10 be disposed
to offer any suggestions to the United
States upon the subject or to press any
other policy upon Washington than the
policy now being followed The foreign
office appears content to leave President
Wilson to work out the situation.
The Temps. an influential newspaper,
while referring to the excellent rea-
tions between France and the United
States, rilicules the American policy
and alludes to the possibility of Euro
pean intervention. This is quite in ac-
cord with unofficial views for many
months past, but careful inquiry estab-
fishes that this view has no official sup
port.
Last September informal exchanges took
place between France and Great Britain
on the question of possible joint repre-
sentations by France, Great Britain and
Germany as to whether something might
not be done by these nations and the
United States working together for the
restoration of order in Mexico
The prevailing view was that the United
States would be better left with a free
hand. The objections to European ac-
tioh seemed to be, first. that such ac-
ton might offend the United States, and.
second, that joint military intervention
would cause enormous expense to the
European powers taking part without
any prospect of reimbursement after or
