STILL PROSECUTING ARNIENLANS.
Report Says Conditions Worse, if Pos
Sible, Than Heretofore.

London, Nov. 27.-Viscount Bryce
tonight made public details of fur
ther Armenian atrocities which, in a
letter accompanying them, he saws,
"surpaSs in horror, if that were DOS
sible. what has been published be-
fore"
The first part Of the evidence. he
says, was received by the committee
of inquiry in the United States and
the second part comes from an Arme-
nian gentleman at TihiS, who receiv-
ed ii from refugees.
The sufferingS of the peasants and
the moultaineers i'm the region Of
Van. Mush and Sanun," Viscount
Bryce says, seem to have been even
more terrible than were those of the
peaceful townsfolk described in part
Of one Of the reports. Every succes-
siVe piece Of evidence increases the
horror OF the story and confirms the
dreadful certainty Of it's truth.
These atrocities were not pro-
duced by Imagination. Many are
vouched for by several coincident tes
timonies. The evidence is most COM
plete, and some OF it most terrible.
At this present phase of events the
clHlllzed world is powerless to inter
we're, but we must bear these un-
speakable crimes in constant memory
against the day of reckoning"

PEACE PARTY ARE TOURISTS.
L. >. Government In No Way Re-
SpOnSible or Associated.

Washing IN, Dec. 2.-Several Eu-
fopean ma ions, neutral as well as
belligerent, nave inquired Of the Uni
ted States concerning the status Of
the peace party to sail in vessels
chartered by Henry Ford. To each
Secretary Lansing has replied that
the American government not only
has no connection with the eXpedi-
ton, but assumes no responsibility
for any activities or negotiations of
those engaged in the movement.
The fact that Mr.. Ford has con-
ferred with President Wilson before
starting his movement to end the Eu-
ropean war gave some ambassadors
and ministers here the impression
that the Washin gton government
might have some connection with it.
It became known tonight that since
the publication of the plans of the
party the State Department has
been receiving inquiries, most Of
them informally, through embassies
and legations. Secretary Lansing has
explained that the party would carry
no credentials from the State Depart
ment and did not differ from any
other body Of Anne ricans travelling in
Europe.
Applications for passports by
members OF the expedition have been
subjected to the closest scrutiny, and
passports have been granted only for
travel in neutral countries. Seventy
five were issued to-day. In several
instances passports were refused be-
cause OF improperly prepared appli-
cations or because the applicants
were not A AmeriCanS
Rules OF the department prohibit
the issuance of passports to persons
who desire to visit belligerent coun-
tries unless they state business of an
absolutely necessary and argent
character. Officials class the men,
bers of the party as tourists.
At the British embassy to-day it
was indicated that without passports
in proper form no one would be per-
mitted to land in Great Britain from
the Ford ships.

VILLA OFFICERS ARE SHOT.
Threat to Raid on American Side Not
Taken Seriously.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 1.-Two
Villa generals. Orestes Pereyra and
E. Jiminez, with so other officers of
their command, captured after a bat
tie on the Fuerte river, in Sonora,
were courtmartiaied and shot, ac-
cording to telegram received to-day
from Gen. Obregon, at NOgales, by
Arturo Gonzales, Carranza CONNER
cial agent here.
Villas power now has been COM
pletely broken, Obregon stated in his
message.
A part of his forces defeated on the
Puerto river escaped. proceeding ap-
parently toward Lower California
with the expectation Of joining Gov
ernor Esteban Cantu at Mexicali, op-
posite Calexicc.
Obregon also stated that among
the numerous prisoners who surren-
dered to Gen. Gales was Alexandra
CereSola. former commander of the
Mexican navy under Huerta.
To Raid U. S. Territory.
Attributing his present situation to
the failure Of the United States gov
ernment to support him, Gen. Villa
is planning raids on American terri
tory along the border, according to
information reaching Major. Gen.
Funston, commanding the American
border guard. In reporting this to
the War Department to-day, Gen.
Funston said he could not believe
Gen. Villa actually contemplated any
such hazardous undertaking.
Cen. Obregon, Carranza comman-
der, has been given authority to
transfer 5000 men through United
States territory to Naco, to cross the
line and attack Villa forces.
An additional machine gun pla-
toOn and four troops of cavalry have
been sent to reinforce the American
garrison at Naco, AriZ. Gen. Fun

ANDY WILL MAKE PEACE TRIP.

Andrew j. Bethea, Lieutenant Gov
ernor, left last night for Washington
and New York. He will sail Satur-
day on board the Scandinavian-Amer
lean steamship, Oscar ii, with a par
to Europe.
Before leaving Mr.. Bethea said:
Il have received many letters, mes
sagGs and telephone. calls during the
last few days from people in all
parts Of South Carolina telling me by
all means TO accept Henry Ford's
invitation to go on the peace mission
to Europe. | have not time to reply
to each OF these now, but will do so
later and meanwhile wish to express
my deep appreciation for every mes
sage of good will. ! do not believe
anybody is foolish enough to think
that the peace commission expects to
bring the war to an end at once, if
at all. Such talk is absurd, and !
doubt if Mr.. Ford anticipates any
such thing. The trip, however, will
not be in vain, and the peace mission
will justify itself if a peace sentiment
can be Created to stop this wicked
waste of life. Some time, some
where movement will be begun
which will ultimately result in peace.
Who knows but what this is the time
and this the movement? All peace
loving Americans should hope for
such an end, and for my part | am
happy to be privileged to join in such
n pilgrimage and on such a mission
even though it should uttely fail

Thirty-seven bales Of cotton be-

prominent farmer living about three
miles south of the city, were de-
stroyed by fire Monday afternoon
about o'clock. The cotton was re-
Gently ginned and was in the yard at
Mr.. Stevenson's home. Several chill

and it is supposed that one Of them
struck match, the cotton catching
fire from that.
The cotton represented about half
of Mr.. SteVenson's crop and was un-
insured. The loss is a complete one,
for there is only about 100 pounds of
cotton from each burned bale which
may be used.
There were 45 bales of cotton in
the bunch, but neiehbors managed to
