HUNT SENDS PROTEST TO WASHINGTON WHEN
 WACO AGAIN APPEALS
Coroner Folsom Appeals to Gov ernOr Hunt for Protection Of AmeriCanS-S Suggests that U. s. Return Fire From MexicapS.

NACO Dec 4.-Governor Hunt Of Arizona telegraphed Coroner FuIsom here that he had made another ap- peal to the state department in Wash. mgton for protection Of non-combat- ants on the American side from Mexico fire which for two months has fallen almost impartially on the American and Mexican towns Of Naco The killing of one and woundng of two more on this side caused the coroner to telegraph Governor Hunt an appeal for action with his refusal to hold an inquest over the bodies of those killed and thus endanger the lives of the coroner's jurymen
 The coroner also suggested in his message that there is a remedy for this state of affairs which can be administered promptly and without invasion of foreign territory It is no more an act of war to fire into Mexico than for Mexicans to fire into the United States. Our guns have lon- ger range and by returning the fire we could force immediate withdraw al Of the offenders"
 The coroner's message also reviews previous appeals for aid and for per mission to protect the border with a band of five hundred cowboys Co replace the border patrol of federal troops. This permission was refused. In commenting upon the result of this appeal the message says;
 There has been absolutely no i'm provement in the situation. In fact, American prestige has sunk 10 such a degree that the United States GUS toms house has become the fayorite target for cannon of the attacking forces One day when five persons were shot in Naco. Arizona. news papers printed the statement that President Wilson was much pleased with conditions in Mexico"

Germans Have No Objection
 Importation of Food But Do Not Feel They Should Feed
 Civil Population Country.

LONDON. Dec. 4-Herbert Clark Hoover. chairman of the American commission for relief lip Belgium has returned after a weeks inspec- ton through Belgium.
 "It is difficult Co state the position of the civil population in Belgium without appearing hysterical, he said. "I do not know that history presents any paralled of seven mil lion people surrounded by a ring of steel and utterly unable by any con ceivable effort of their own to save themselves"
 He said the distribution of food is progressing but that by cause of the attitude of the belligerents the Belgians must continue to depend up- on Americans for relief from starva- ton.
 From the nature of things it is impossible for the commission even to possess an opinion on right or wrong which is created by this sit uation. The Germans 1atly state the Bolglans are dependent oA ,Le i'm portation of foodsuffs for tive-siXths Of their substance; that Germans not slightest objection to importation food into Belgium; that it is not the Germans who have blocked the over seas supply of food and that there is no obligation on them to feed the civil population.
 "The Allies on the other hand con tend that a free port for the impor- tatiOn of food into Belgium will amount to an entry point for food supplies for the Germans. It is enough for us that there are seven millions of people ground between two gi- gantic millstones"

SIMS WOULD RESIGN RATHER THAN ATTEND
 HUNTS HANGING BEE
Warden Says it Would Be Phy-
 SicaIB Impossible for Him to
 Witness the Wholesale Exec
 CutiOn Insisted Upon by Hunt.

PHoENTX. Dec 4. Who is the hangman?
 Some mysterious individual has been discovered who is willing to send six men to eternity, one after another on the nineteenth day of December. In the dead Of night af- ter his ghastly work has been done. he win leave Arizona, never to re- turn.
 Warden R. B. Sims will not be in- side the walls Of the penitentiary, or even in Florence. on the fatal day.
 q will not be here when the hang ings take place." Sims told Governor Hunt flatly. in a telephone conversa- tion. 'I was hired to keep men from escaping, not to kill them. Besides, it would be physically impossible for me even to witness six executions in one day"
 "The law says you must be present at each execution within the prison, |" the governor returned There is no way you can avoid it."
 "I can resign. can I not
 If Sims decides to resign. Riley Bryan. captain of the guard will be in charge Of the prison The next in line of succession is Walter Win sor. brother to State Land Commiss- toner Mulford Winsor Governor Hunt says that either one, like War den Sims. would resign before con- ducting an execution.
 "I do not believe that 1t will be necessary for MT Sims to resign, " Governor Hunt said. "The law says that he shall witness each execution but does not provide any penalty if Ihe fails to do so."
 Would not that be cause for his removal"
 Tt might be cause if the matter were pushed" The finding of an ex. ecutloner is in the hands of Mir. Sims I believe that he has already found someone but the name of the person will not be given to the public tll December 19 No doubt he win want to leave the state in the dead of night after the hangings are over It is history that the hangman is eyer summed by society.
 'l have not discussed the matter with Warden Sims but it is probable that newspaper men will be excluded The object in having executions al the penitentiary instead of at the county jails is to make them as pri vate ns possible To admit represen tauves of tue press would be to vio Hate ths spirit ot tho law"

CHICAGO. Dec. 4-C. ?. (Barney) Bertsche ward politician, for years the leading figure in the Chicago un- derworld. followed the lead of Frank Ryan leader of the clairvoyant ring, and walked into the grand jury room and told what he knew of the rela- lions of certain policemen and crimi- rals So did James Ryan, active worker in the clairvoyant ring.

 Bertsche has been at outs with the police since the revolver fights on a busy down town corner some time ago. Bertsche was defended be- cause he was shot al.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-There is stin lacking reliable news as to the pro gress of the battle in Poland, which continues to monopolize much inter est An unofficial dispatch from Petro grad says the battle of Lodz has end ed in success for the Russians. but this statement is opposed to that oi the Berlin official report. which says the German offensive in Poland is taking a normal course. The fact is that the fighting in this region has developed into such a tumble that it is almost impossible to follow it.
 The most important factor from the Allies points of view is that the German advance on Warsaw has seemingly not succeeded in its ob ject. nor has it had the effect Of diverting the Russians from their forward movement through the Car pathians, onto the plains of Hungary. or against the fortress of Cracow around which they are drawing clos. CT their ring of men and artillery
 Taking into consideration the case of Prezysl which has held out SO long against the Russian attacks, mill itary men do not look for the early fall of Cracow, but are rather in- cined to believe the armies of Elm peror Nicholas will endeavor to keep the large Austrian force inside the fortress and enter Slesia from the southeast
 Much depends. however. on the bat tie which is being fought with such intensity farther north between the rivers Vistula and Wartha and in which all agree the losses of both sides are very heavy. There is an inclination Co believe that had there been any probability of early success for the Germans in this field. Elm peror William. who has returned tO Berlin. would have remained to wit. ness the victory of his troops.
 The battle iu the west appears at standstil The Allies and Germans have attempted to take an offensive at different points along the front, but as neither claims to have made any advance and both official reports mention repulses of the enemy, it is evident the attacks which have been made, have not yet met with much success.
 Under the title four months of war" the French Bulletin of armies is publishing a report of the entire operations of the war. In it an ex planation is made that the French were unable to take an offensive un til the British army was ready and that the advance into Alsace. which has been criticized as bad strategy was designed to draw the Germans from the Belgian front This plan did not succeed, 1t says, and the Allies were driven back to the Seine
 The arrival of the Australian and New Zealand contingents in Egypt on forty transports Is quoted as an other triumph of the British navy The German cruiser Emden was not far from the fleet of transports when she was oyertaken and destroyed by ] the Australian cruiser Sydney. It is taken for granted, however, that the convoy of transports was so strong ! that even the Emden would mol ] have dared to attack them.
