DEMANDS RENEWED BY U. S
Austria Again Asked to Make Dis
avowal, Reparation and Punish
ment In Second Aneona Note.

Washington. - Immediate acquies.
cence by Austria-Hpngary in the prin-
ciples governing submarine warfare
agreed to by the United States and
Germany is demanded in the second
Ancona note, which has been sent to
Vienna.
This is the basic proposition ad-
vanced in the new note, In which the
United States firmly reiterates its de-
mands for disavowal, reparation and
punishment OF the submarine com.
mander.
There is only one opinion in Wash
ington as to the outcome unless Aus
tria changes front. It is declared with
gravest emphasis by officials concern
ed with the Ancona negotiations that
Austria must adopt the views Of the
United States on submarine warfare
and apply them in the case of the sub
marine that attacked the Ancona, or
the United States will cease to deal
automatically with the Austrian gov.
eminent.
The new chapter written into inter.
national law by the submarine nego-
tiations establishes principles so con
crete, offic ais said, that there can be
no compromise or discussion" of law.
These principles were stated in def
mite terms to Germany and through
Germany to Austria-Hungary.
1t was said Secretary of State Lans-
ing sent from time to time to the Aus
trian embassy at Washington copies
Of the most drastic of the notes to Ger
many on the submarine issue. The
state department regarded this as of
fetal delivery" and notification to the
Austro-Hungarian foreign office of the
American point of view.

ASYLUM FOR VILLA IN U. S.
State Department Announces That
Former Mexican Leader viii Be
Allowed to Enter This Country.

Westinghouse and re.
lief were frankly displayed by admin.
istration leaders when news came from
E Paso that II OF Gen. Villas gen
erals and leaders had signed an agree
ment to turn the rebel army Of the
north over to the de facto government
of Mexico. Confidence is felt here in
the reported promise of Villa to elm
mate himself, and II he appears on the
American side of the international
boundary line he will find free road.
Villas withdrawal and the incorpo-
ration OF his army into that Of the de
facto government are regarded here
as indicative of early peace in Mexico,
and at least will pave the way for re-
ducing materially the strong patrol
the United States has been obliged to
maintain along the border. His elm.
nation, 1t is believed, will leave Car
rama free to move his army into the
south and concentrate his forces
against the rebillious bands still op-
Grating in the interior and near the
capital.
Much interest is displayed by Of
ficials here as to whether Villa will
accept the promise OF immunity as a
political refugee. Such immunity
would not protect him from prosecu-
ton within the United States on
charges Of an ordinary character.
This government has nothing on
which charge will be brought against
villa, but 1t is said that local Off.
cials at Ell Paso have information con.
corning alleged irregularities in cattle
deals in which villa was involved and
that this might be made the basis Of
prosecution.
Secretary Lansing has announced
that villa had right to enter the
United States and would be given the
same facilities OF doing so as any 9th
er foreigner.

ADJOURNs FOR HOLIDAYS
Measure to Continue Emergency War
Tax For One More Year Passed
By Both Houses.

Washington. - Congress adjourned
on the night of Dec. for the Christ
mas holidays after the Senate had
adopted the joint resolution which
passed the House extending the emer'
gency revenue law one year, or until
Dec. 81, 1916. Teh Senate adopted the
resolution after lively partisan de-
bate. by vote OF 45 to 29, Democrats
supporting 1t solidly and Republicans
unanimously opposing 1t. President
Wilson signed the measure.
Both houses will reconvene at noon,
Tuesday. Jan. 4, when the adminlstra.
tion legislative program, including the
plans for national defense. will be I'M
dertaken in earnest.
During the two weeks of the session
the only important legislation was the
extension of the war tax. This was
done to prevent lapse of the law
Dec. 81, next, with the understanding
that the law will be taken up for
amendment In order to increase the
revenue as soon after the holidays as
possible.
Upon the adjournment there was q
general exodus Of members for their
homes. The last day in the House
had been devoted to speeches in ma
tional defense. Discussion OF war
revenue resolutions in the Senate re-
solved itself into a tariff argument,
Republicans asssiling the Underwood
law as inadequate and condemning
the general fiscal policy Of the admin
istration. Senator Underwood Of Ala
bama. in his first Senate speech, Wig
orously upheld the law which bears his
name and challenged Republicans to
compare 1t with the Payne-Aldrich
tariff.

PEACE PARTY IN NORWAY
Divided and ouarrelsone, Members Of
Ford Expedition Reach Warning
Europe-Trlp 10 Costly.

Christiania, Norway.-The Henry
Ford peace party has reached here.
The party to date has cost $4,000, In
GLIDING $4,000 spent in New York.
The total, II the schedule is followed,
will be 100000 and probably more.
8. s. Mcclure. the publisher, stays
with the party at the request Of Mr..
Ford. Judge Ben Lindsey's plans are
uncertain. The pilgrims have been
quarrelsome for a week, and almost
everybody gossips and squabbles. An
attempt at system OF espionage over
the doings Of important members was
reported to Nine. Roszicka Schwim-
mer, and there was much criticism of
Mr.. Mcclure. An attempt to estab-
lish a curfew on the pilgrims found
much support among the delegates,
but was suppressed by Mr.. Lochner.
secretary of the International Peace
Society.
Nobody was taken off the ship al
Kirkwall and the baggage Was not In
spected. The parcel post Christmas
gifts we're removed. The British au
thorities were courteous in their treat
ment.
Mr.. Ford expresses confidence in
the outlook. but Nine. Schwimmer,
still dominant, refuses to indicate the
plans of the neutral countries OF which
she is supposed to have knowledge.

TROOPS LEAVE GALLIPOLI
British Forces at Amaze and sulva Bay
Are Transferred Elsewhere-Hold
To Seddul Bahr.

London-The announcement Of the
British withdrawal from Gallipoh
Oyershadowed all other var news. The
forces at Amaze and Sulna Bay have
been transferred elsewhere. For the
British public the abrupt war office
statement marks the end Of one of the
greatest chapters OF the wars his
tory.
The shock OF the news was hardly
broken by the fact that rumors had
been current in the street for some
days, and the withdrawal OF tho
forces there had been a matter of
widespread pro and con discussion
ever since Lord Ribbledale's famous
speech in parliament in which he de-
clared that withdrawal had been rec.
commended by high military author
ity.
The feeling of the man in the street
was generally one Of relief, mixed
with regret. A popular half-penny pa.
per sums up the British public's atti-
tude as follows:
Thus ends the enterprise on which
the highest hopes were built and
which, If it had succeeded, would
probably have turned the tide of the
war. Our troops from the first to last
were within few miles of victory"
British troops continue to occupy the
tip of the peninsula at Seddul Bahr,
commanding the entrance to the
straits, where many British have de-
clared a new Gibraltar will one day
arise. The position here is protected
by double line of ships, and & is as
sumed that this will be held.
Operations in other sectors OF the
front on the Gallipoli peninsula than
those from which troops we're an
nounced TO have been withdrawn are
to be continued, 1t is intimated in an
official statement issued. The with
drawal was effected without knowl-
edge on the part of the Turks, it 10
declared.

BLOODSHED AND
RIOT IN JUAREZ
ONE AMERICAN KILLED AT Ell
PiAso BY BULLETS FROM
MEXICAN TOWN.
VILLA SOLDIERS REBELLED
Resented the Domination Of and Con-
troll Of Town by carranza Force.
Further Trouble ls Feared
On Pay Day.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Three hundred
soldiers of Francisco Villa rioted in
Juarez, opposite here, and before or
der was restored, one Ameican had
been killed and, according to reports,
q number Of Mexicans lost their lives.
The villa soldiers reached Juarez
from the interior in desperate con.
dition for lack Of food, and when they
learned that the de facto government
was in possession of the town they i'm
mediately began looting. Reports
from Juarez were that order finally
had been restored. Heavily armed
Mexican and American troops lined op.
posite banks OF the Rio Grande as a
protection.
One shot from south Of the border,
believed by the United States military
authorities to have been fired on the
American troops, toppled George A.
Diepert Of Ell Paso, brakeman, from

freight car. He was dead with a bull
let in his heart when a corporals
guard reached him.
Shortly afterward two Mexicans
we're shot at the Mexican end of the
Santa Fe bridge by Mexican customs
guards. Reports of fatalities in
Juarez vary from two to 10.
An international street car was at
tackled and passengers, including sew
sral Americans. were robbed. Stores
and saloons we're looted.
1t was stated at the Carranza consu-
late that the generals in Juarez who
had turned the town over to the Car.
rama government, had gained control
and were In conference upon the cleo
ton OF a military leader to take full
charge and appoint paymaster to re-
ceive 100000 pesos in CarranEa paper
currency with which to pay off the SOL
diers. Unofficial reports from Juarez
we're that II an attempt was made to
pay off in Carranza currency rioting
would be resumed

PREDICT FIGHTING IN WEST
Reports From Neutral Countries Say
Germans Are Transferring Men
and Guns to French Line.

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. very FESTIVE, are preparing new
strokes on both the eastern and west
IN fronts. or at least a concentration
Of their forces to strike when condi-
tons are propitious.
Dispatches from Petrograd note
German activity, particularly In the
Dvinsk district, which would accord
with the German ambition to reach
the line Of the Dvina river. while all
accounts from neutral countries men
ton q continued movement OF men
and guns to the west. In the latter
theater OF operations 1t seems only a
question at what points the offensive
Is to be taken.
Many persons believe that the Ger
mans, having found the lines in Flan-
ders and Artois nuts too hard to crack,
contemplate moving in the Saint MI
hiel region. where their line penetrates
to the River Mouse 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 flood and the French have
been systematically destroying the
bridges as they we're rebuilt.
