ALL PEACEFUL IN
 CITY OF MEXICO.
Gutierrez is President and Villa and Zapata are Bosses of the Military.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-MexicO City remains so peaceful since the en- try of Provisional President Gutter reg that the dispatches coming here read as tame as if nothing had ever happened in that republic. Villa and Zapata are still in command of the army, Villa being supreme. This ar will probaly last until Car ranza is disposed of in one way or another. The last named is evidently still holding out obstinately against the desires of the party in power and has strong forces as we'll as posses sion of important cities.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Refuses to Let Anti-Alien Law Be Ap-

WASHINGTON Dec. 12.-The na- tional government has refused to per nit the application of the Arizona anti-alien law to the government re servations and forts and all other government property. The United States has exclusive jurisdiction over such areas and insists that the state has no right whatever to make laws for them whether they are in the state or not. The anti-alien law pro- vides that ninety per cent of the em- ployees of factories and individuals employers must be citizens of the United States and foreign govern ments have already protested against ;t

SAYS GERMAN
 TACTICS FAIL
PETROGRAD CORRESPONDENT SAYS TURNING MOVEMENTS
 END IN NOTHING.

PARIS, Dec. 12.-The PetrOgrad correspondent of the Paris Matin wires his paper that the German tact ics in Poland which consisted in turn ing the Russian right wing at LOwicz and at the same time completing a similar maneuvre on the extreme left on the river Donajec have completely failed. He declares that this failure has reduced the Germans to the neces- sity of making bloody and useless frontal attacks on the Russian center. His story on the whole shows that the enemy has by no means accomplished the great things which have been re- ported and that the Russians are still in a position to engage in general battle which may yet result in com polling the invaders to retreat once more towards thelr own borders. He reports the German losses to be of such frightful nature as to make it seem impossible that they can keep up the struggle in their present situa- ton.

PETROGRAD REPORTS GERMANS DRIVEN BACK IN MANY
 PLACES.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 12.-lt is ottici- ally announced this morning that in the region of Mlawa in Poland several fierce attacks of the Germans were re- pulsed and that the Russians have again taken the offensive against col- umns of the enemy which are retiring in disorder. According to the accounts from the front the Russian forces have now occupied good positions which may enable them to foil completely the German plan to take Warsaw. In the region north of Lowicz the Ger mans delivered attacks which can only be described as ferocious but in all cases they have been repulsed with frightful losses. Whole divisions of Germans are being thrown en masse against the Russian positions one after the other in a desperate effort to break down resistance and force the Rus sians to continue their retirement but so far these attempts have met with absolutely no success. The German forces descending from the north are reported to have been brought to a complete standstill. South of Cracow the Russian offensive is being success fully continued and has not been af- fected in the least by the retirement of the Russians in Russian Poland. The bombardment of Cracow has been delayed to some extent but it is hop ed that the city will be soon invested.

BATTLING YET FOR POSSESSION OF WARSAW
REFUSE TRUCE
 AT CHRISTMAS
SOME OF THE POWERS TURN DOWN PROPOSAL OF POPE
 BENEDICT.

ROME Dec. 12.-The Vatican an- nounced today that the efforts of Pope
 Benedict to ,-,ain a truce amongst the warning nations during Christmas has failed owing to the opposition of certain of the powers engaged. The names of the powers refusing the re- quest have not been mentioned but but they are sure to be learned soon. About half the people of the European nations engaged in the war are catho- lies who regard the pope as their spiritual head but it is said that even some of the most catholic powers have declined to accept the pope's pro- posal. Pope Benedict is declared to have appealed particularly to King Albert and the Emperor Francis Joseph who are strong members of .he church. He also appeals to Emper- or William, about quarter of whose subjects are catholics. The French government since the war has shown more friendship than usual towards the vatican and the French people have been so affected religiously by the sorrows of the conflict that they are turning to the church more strong ly than ever but for military reasons some of the powers have decided that a truce would be disadvtntageous to them and Christmas day will prob ably witness the same slaughter as any ordinary one.

Municipal Judge Caverly sent let.
ter to Mayor Harrison recommending
that the minimum fine Of 500 for viola.
ton Of the municipal code prohibiting
peddlers from peddling without a
license be eliminated and that the
code be changed SO that such offend.
ers may be fined from 81 to $50. He
stated that the principal violators Of
the ordinance are very poor. The
judges letter follows:
ITO the Honorable Carter H. Harri.
son: From my experience as presid.
ing Judge at the Maxwell street court
for the last four months am firmly
convinced that the minimum fine Of
$50 for violation Of Section 1850 of the
city code is too severe and ought to
be eliminated.
This ordinance deals solely with
peddlers.
81 respectfully recommend that the
ordinance SO read that violators may
be fined in any sum from 81 to $50,
thereby giving the Judge an oppor.
tunity to fine any sum ranging from
81 up. The principal violators Of this
ordinance are very poor people.

100 SMALLPOX CASES

Little Rock, Feb. 1S.-It has been
reported to the State Board of Health
that there are 100 cases of smallpox

for the failure of any physician to re-
port communicable diseases to the
proper authorities. The state board
