And Annihilated I!
EDITORS NOTE-Although we
have made every effort to abide by
President Wilson's request that we
remain strictly neutral, when big
pice of news like this comes to us
we cannot refrain from rejoicing and
giving it place in The Herald. (This

Christmas Day.
DINNER TAY BUL-Christmas
Day. One of the greatest battles in
history has just taken place. All
Turkey was hot over the situation
and lay in wait for the enemy.
BY means of double flank move
ment, a bit of startegy perfected
witout hitch at signal from a
dinner gong Turkey was entirely
surrounded. There was a hitch in
the proceedings, but it was only a
hitching up of the heavy chair ar
tillery. Turkey was lying in wait
quite in readiness.
There was great deal of cheering
as General Host himself led the bay
onet charge. Within five minutes
Turkeys right wing had been forced
back and severed from the main
body. By means of second attack
Turkeys left wing was forced back
and the enemy got between this wing
and the main body.
The breastworks were next storm
ed. Poor Turkey was poorly forth
fled here and the breastworks fell
rapidly away. Next came a flank
movement and Turkey didn't have a
leg to stand on.
There was slight pause. The
enemy were assigned to various por-
lions. Then began a hand-to-hand
encounter. One by one Turkeys
Notifications fell away. The potato
balls were captured and the field
was CORY with cranberry sauce. After
the victory was complete the enemy
was given the command, "At Ease, .
and every one rested. Merriment
ran high. The enemy was jubilant.
Poor Turkey was annihilated Only
few smoking ruins remained.
But credit should be given. Tur-
key stood up bravely. Forced back
bit by bit, or bite by bite, Turkey
did not retreat, but stood ground un-
til the end-which fell to the host
who is extremely fond of it. And
when the great battle of Dim Eertay
Bull was over the enemy was so over
come with it's efforts that, had it
been brought face to face with an
other Turkey at that moment, it
could not have conquered it.

The first business day OF the week

set. S5c. and Ragland. Csc.
The reduction did not come in the
nature Of a surprise. There are Just
two reasons to which the reduction
can be attributed. First. the great
over-production occasioned by the
large production and vast accumula-
ton or stocks In the midcontfnent
fields. The second most important
cause for the present reduction Is the
continued disturbance OF the export
trade, which is not now or at any
time since the European war began
anything like normal.

ginia fields, on Sam Branch, Duva1

UNSATISFACTORY REPLY TO U.

Report Comes From London That Re-

London.-The Austrian reply to the
note from the United States regard
ing the Ancona case has been deliv-
cred TO Frederick G. Penfield, United
States ambassador at Vienna, 1t is an
nounced in dispatch received
here
The reply states that the Austro-
Hungarian government is prepared in
principle to enter into an exchange OF
opinion with the American govern
ment. and leaves it to the Washing
ton cabinet to draw up the individual
legal maxims which the commander
of the submarine that sunk the An
coma is alleged to have violated. The
government expresses sympathy with
the American victims.
A dispatch from Vienna says the
Austro-Hungarian admiralty is entire
ly opposed to any disavowal OF the
course of the submarine commander
who was responsible for the sinking
OF the Italian steamer Ancona. On
the contrary. 1t approves his conduct
fully and declares that he would have
been considered as having failed &c

in Sonora, and the counsel of his wife.
General Francisco Villa is on his way

kilograms in code from the capital
Sunday afternoon stated briefly that
peace has been declared here. There
will be no more fighting"
Previous to renouncing his COM
mand, General Villa was united to
Mrs. Villa in civil marriage. They
had been married by a church cere-
mony several years ago at San An
dreas. Chihuahua. but the civil mar
riage was required by Mexican law &c
make the tie legal.
It was believed that the civil mar
riage would remove any moral obstacle
to the entrance of Mrs. Villa and Gen
eral Villa into the United States.
While the retirement OF Villa was
upon pressure from his generals, as
sembled in council of war in the cap
ital, it is not generally admitted that
the revolution is ended Indeed. il
is asserted that the revolution will re
ceive a new impetus from the alb
sence of Villa, and the substitution Of
a new leader who is said to be
Governor Avila of chihuahua state.
The REIMBURSEMENT of command by
Villa has been rumored at the border
for several weeks. but the first indca
tins of it came Saturday in the re
moval of the household goods OF Gen
eral Villa to FL Paso. following the
sudden appearance of Mrs Villa a
the border from Chihuahua.

IEUTONS GETTING
READY TO STRIKE
TROOPS BEING CONCENTRATED
FOR ATTACKS ON EAST
AND WEST FRONTS.
Men and Guns Continue Moving to
West Front and indications Point
to Drive in St. Mihie Region,
Where Line Reaches Meuse.

London.-While the diplomats in
Greece and Roumania are engaged in
new deals which will decide the next
step in the Balkan operations. there
is increasing evidence that the Ger
mans, ever restless, are preparing
new strokes on both the eastern and
western fronts. or at least concen-
tration of their force to strike when
conditions are propitious.
Dispatches from Petrograd note
German activity, particularly in the
Dvinsk district which would accord
with the German ambition to reach
she line of the Dvina river, while all
accounts from neutral countries men
ton a continued movement Of men
and guns to the west In the latter
theatre OF operations it seems only
question at what points the offensive
is to be taken.
Many persons believed that the Ger
mans, having found the lines in FlanG-
ers and Artois nuts too hard to crack,
contemplate moving in the st. Mihiel
region, where the line penetrates TO
the river Meuse. and where there has
been considerable activity during the
last few days. The only thing argued
against this is that the river has been
at food and the French have been
systematically destroying the bridges
as they were rebuilt. Thus far, how
ever. there has been little more doing
than the usual mining and bombing
operations and aerial fighting in the
west.
In the Balkans military operations
are temporarily at a standstill, except
in Montenegro and Albania. where the
Austrians and Bulgarians are carry
ing on mountain warfare against King
Nicholas troops and the Serbians. A
big battle is in progress in the valley
OF the Albanian or Black Drin river
between the Serbs and Bulgarians.
At last reports no decision has been
reached in the fighting.
1t is said. however, that the Bulgar-
ians, who crossed the river. found the
Serbians had been reformed and were
driven back with heavy losses.
II is possible that the Serbian coun
ter-attacks were made possible by sup
plies having reached them from the
Italians who landed on the Albanian
coast and who are trying to open com
munication with the Serbs through
that country. The Italians. it is un
derstood, already have landed $4,000
men.
