Head of Foreign Relations
Committee and Wilson,
Trusted Adviser.
CONGRESS STARTLED
BY SUDDEN LOSS
Passing of Georgia Member at
This Time Called National
Misfortune.

Washington, Feb. 14-Augustus Oc-
tavius Bacon, United States Senator
from Georgia for nearly nineteen years
and chairman Of the Foreign Relations
Committee since the ascendancy of the
Democratic party. on March 4. 1913,
died in a hospita. here to-day. after an
illness Of ten days. He was the first
United States Senator elected by direct
vote of the people under the seven
teenth constitutional amendment.
Although Senator Bacon had been
seriously i'll with kidney trouble and
complications developing from broken
rib. his death was unexpected. 1t came
suddenly at o'clock in the afternoon
and news Of the end fell upon the Sen

tive session.
The Immediate cause OF the Senator's
death was diagnosed as blood clot IN
the heart Throughout the morning he
had been in good spirits, and 1t was
announced TO his colleagues that he was
feeling better than for several days.
Physicians had determined that an
operation which had been contemplated
was unnecessary. Despite his seventy 70
five years. it appeared that the affiic-
ton from which he suffered was or re-
cent origin. and specialists believed 1t
would yield 10 treatment. This con-
clusjon relieved considerably the anXi-
ETY. OF mis- friends and associates in
Congress.
Had Talked with Daughter.
Half an hour before his death the
Senator talked with his daughter, Mrs.
w. B. Sparkes. of Georgia. She had
lust left the room when he raised him
self in bed. AS Mrs. Sparkes re-entered
the room ner father fell back in col
lapse. and never regained conscious
ness.
In the absence OF Senator Hoke
Smith. OF Georgia, Senator Overman
was notified and proceedings In the
Senate were abruptly halted when the
North Carolina Senator announced the
death. ~ resolution of respect was
adopted. and the Senate adjourned
For several minutes the Senators,

DRESSY SMALL FOLKS
LITTLE ONES WELL LOOKED AFT.
Err BY FASHION.
Their Coats, In Beauty Of Material and
Artistic Cut, Are Almost on Z Par
With Those Being Worn by
Their Elders.

BY MARY DEAN.
The beauty Of the coat materials de-
signed for grownups this season has
had its effect upon the coats for small
folk.
Naturally the gorgeous embossed
velvets and brocades are outside the
province of children's clothes, but
many Of the plain and corded velvets
and silks are used for coats for little
folks and there are innumerable things
among the soft woollen stufs that are
admirably adapted to the same pur-
pose.
Peau de peche, baby lamb cloth, wool

ToQUE THAT IS WATERPROOF
Servlceable But None the Less Pretty
Head covering-Many Shapes
Are to Be Offered.

Hats and toques are in every posi-
BILE shape, so there is a choice for
all. One of the newest is the patent
leather waterproof variety, much
worn by women at the races, and
very suitable for sports. The brim
is forced we'll down upon the hair,
and is lined with colored silk, band
Of the same surrounding the high
crown. The silk is stitched in close
lines and is sometimes blue, at 9TH
ers red or the Lew shade called
tango.
A very useful hat for country
wear is in tan colored leather, the
crown and brim in sections closely
stitched together, the wired brlm
lined with silk, usually black, some
times green % blue. The new
wooden velvet hat, in black or colors
has an adaptable brim, curved to
any shape, and usually trimmed with
q silk or satin band around the
crown. The colors in which this hat
is made are purple, SAKE, tan and
navy blue.
For ceremonious occasions there is
among many others the round black
hat in the same material as mems
silk hats, very simply trimmed with
striped or fancy ribbon rolled round
the crown, and rising in an aigret al
one side. Brown velvet composes
many smart hats, with trimming Of
handsomely patterned ribbon thai
seems borrowed from savage races
especially when it sits on the edge
Of the brim in meaningless fashion.

Rear Admiral Blue States Navy Is Short Of Officers And To Increase Commanders More Difficult Than To Get Men

WASHINGTON. Dec 12-The pres ent strength in air craft of the Euro pean countries is indicated in official estimates submitted by the navy de- partment to the house naval commit tee and report shows Austra-Hungary this month has 500 aeroplanes and 800 dirigibles. Belgium sixty aero planes and no dirigibles; Great Brit ain 900 aerOplanes and twelve dirigi- bles France 1400' aeroplanes and thir- ty dirigibles; Italy 300 aeroplanes and four dirigibles; Japan twenty aeroplanes and two dirigibles; Ger many 14OO aeroplanes and sixty diri- gibles and Russia 1000 aeroplanes and twenty dirigibles
 In a supplementary written state ment to the house committee Rear Admiral Victor Blue. chief of the navigation bureau. said the navy was suffering more from a shortage of of fcers than a shortage of men. The statement adds there are altogether 4.565 men and 2O3 line officers short of the number necessary to man the vessels of military value in time of war While there is little doubt that ! this demand may be met by ex-serv- ice men now in civil life, confusion and delay willr esult unless an or ganization was perfected prior to the outbreak of war. Shortage of officers in the total required is more serious | than the shortage of men"
 or the expense of campaigns car riers onto the water any great dis tance Admiral Blue says in order to
 keep our fleet supplied with fuel and
 provisions operating five thousand tc six thousand miles from the base in the United States, about two hundred
 merchant vessels win be required.

AUSTRIANS TO MAKE
 PROTESTS TO THEIR
 AGENTS ON NEW BILL
Will Meet Today in Lowell to
 FraEe Messages to Ambas- SadOrs in Washington, Pro- testing on Enforcement of Bill.

The Austrians aIfc -:ungaridns of the district have been called tOgeth- CT for a special meeting at their hall in Lowell for this afternoon when they win consider the advisability of protesting with the British and ltal- fans against the enforcement of the new state statute providing that 80 per cent of all employees shall be citizens of the United States. They have been invited to take this action by the Austrian bodies of Globe, Miami, and Jerome, where such ac- ton will be taken tomorrow, also and where protests have already been framed for the adoption of the members of the society
 That the local Europeans will un- doubtedly follow the example already set by the Italians and British. is beyond doubt Yesterday some of them stated that they will frame messages to the state department and their representatives in Washington protesting the law on the ground that it is unfair, discriminating and works hardshlps -on the community and on themselves They stated that they will fight the law to the limit as their livings and the livelihood of their families depends on the failure of the act They are preparing their mes sage SO that it may reach Washing ton before Governor Hunt issues his official precipitation declaring the law operative.
 Later in the afternoon members of the same society are requested by the order 10 meet in the Fair Hall in Bisbee, where they will take up the matter of the European war, the relief for Belgium and the general good the local members can do in their passive rolls It is expected that the body will immediately take steps toward framing resolutions and pro
 yiding benefits for the war stricker of their lands, and that generous re
 plies will be ha dto the demand oi

Says He Has Run Out And That The Belgian Commission Has Barely Enough To Feed Few Who Are Badly In Need

LONDON, Dec l2.-That famine fin Belgium is no respector of persons is vividly brought home by a letter received by the American commission from Henry Diederich, United States consul general at Antwerp, who ap- peals for food for his family. for his consular staff and for himself
 Diederich writes; About ten days ago Jarvis Bell of New York, while on the way to Brussels, kindly in- formed me that if my family and my self needed anything to let him or the relief committee know and they would provide as best they could. At the time the offer was made ! did not think it would be necessary 10 make use of it, but we were suddenly made to realize that Antwerp fig not vic tualized as the common report has it as few days ago all bakers in the city declared they will no longer be able to supply bread for lack of four. For the time being they again have started work, but the outlook for steady supply of bread this winter is very gloomy. In view of this condition I wuold request the Amer ican relief committee to let me have at the earliest opportunity some flour for myself and families Of the con- sular staff"

CARRANZA DEFIES U. s.
 TO FIRE OVER BORDER
Says Any Act of Retaliation By Troops of This Country Will Be Considered As An Unfriendly Invasion.

Before the eyes of the remaining nine-tenths of the population of the city of Naco and before the review ing official eyes of the United States officers stationed on the border Gen eral Hin yeserday had unloaded on the American side of the information al line two three-inch cannon, with a range of six miles. As soon as the guns were unloaded they were taken up the main street of the city of Naco' Arizona. where they were reviewed by the decreased population of the city and the United States officers of the border patrol, and then they were passed over the line to the Hill trenches where they may shoot at will either onto the American or Mexican soil.
 Regardless tho statements of the government that the troops which have just arrived on the border ac- companied by cannon better and lar ger than the Hill guns, these guns were allowed to cross into the ene- my's territory The citizens of Naeo' and many Of the officers of the United States army were not only in- censed at the action of the Washing ton government, but openly express ed themselves as displeased.
 That the me of the Hill trenches are shooting onto the American side of tha line has several times been established. and the NacO residents are satisfied that fully one-half o inc shells landing in this state are from the trenches about the city Others have had experience whicl taught them that Hill men were fir ing on them.

IN WEST ALLIES ARE TAKING OFFENSIVE NOW
Servians Claim Again to Have Defeated Austrians - Re ports State Dresden is Sunk Or Cornered by Fleet

LONDON, Dec 12- There has been no very marked development in the last twenty-four hours either in he eastern or western fighting zone. so far as available and official reports disclose. although the fighting Of a more or less violent character is pro ceeding along the two fronts
 In this fighting opposing headquart- CTS claim the advantage fell to their respective armies As an offset to the Russian claim of having checked the advance of three of five of the Ger man columns invading their terri tory. the Germans state their cavalry has repulsed the Russian horsemen on the East Prussian frontier; that in North Poland the German opera tions are developing and in South Poland the Russian attacks were un- successful.
 It is admitted in Berlin, however that the Russian resistance is by no tmeans broken although according 70 [ German esumate lu the battles pre- cediug the evacuation of Lodz. the Russians lost l5O,O0O men including | SOOo0 previously reported captured ! while the German losses, it is stated were light The town of Lcdz suffered little damage.
 There is the same disparity be- tween the French and German ac- counts of battles iu Flanders and France but it ia apparent from both. ] however. that the Allies assumed at l lcast partial offensive The French announce this movement gs aeting with success. while the 0eranas qs- sert the attacks of the A"ts have been rspulsed with heavy losses in killed and wounded and prisoners. The general impression here is that the Allies, with artillery and occa- sional infantry attacks are preparing way for a general offensive and in doing SO are meeting with the usual D stubborn resistance from the Ger mans. who are firmly established in enrenched positions. The advance, if Iit is possible. must therefore be slow as General Joffre, commanderin-chief is not likely to sacrifice the lives of his men in an attack to storm the fortified works.
 , The Seryians continue to announce successes of their troops who are said to have been led by Ring Peter and his two sons The Austrians treid to stem the defeat by sending force from Belgrade southward against the Servian right wing, but this army, like that which is retreat
 ing westward, suffered heavy losses after repeated fierce attacks.
 Rumors are persistent that the ! German cruiser Dresden. one of the
 German squadron which was defeat
 cd by the British squadron under Sir
 Frederick Sturdee in the South AL lantic has either been sunk or has sought refuge in a neutral port. There is no confirmation of this report and the confidence that she will be caught was shown by the betting on Llyods which was twenty-five to three that the Dresden will be rounded up by January 9
