Rev. Father Cyp. Vabre celebrated mass in the music room of the Fl To- var, Tuesday morning. Padre Cypria- no makes these trips about every month, and never fails to have a good number present.
 MT. H. H. Rogers, Jr. with a party of nine are spending few days at the Canyon on their way west. Mir. Ro- gers is a director of the Standard Oil Go. and is enroute for San Francisco, from which point he will sail for Ja- pan, early next week.
 MT. Harry McAvoy left Monday night for Albuquerque, where he will join his wife, and accompany her to the Canyon. Mrs. McAvoy has been spending few months in Chicago and Milwaukee, and is returning here' to take up her duties. MT. and Mrs. McAvoy are in charge of the Lookout and Curio room at the Bright Angel Camp.
 In spite of the warm weather we have had the last week, the snow is so deep between here and Grand View, that Ralph Berry says that it takes him two days to make the trip. Long Jim Canyon is impossible, and so he makes the trip by the way of Chas. Kirsch's ranch, and after stopping there over night goes the rest of the way the next day.
 Kolb Bros. had a packed house at their motion picture show, at their studio, last Saturday night. This show is new feature in the last few months, being in addition to the tra- velogues which are given daily. Only the best films are shown, and as this is feature for the benefit of the em- ployes rather than the general public, good attendance is assured.

RUSSIAN ADVANCE

Great Force Sweeps Through Ca
IiCia Along Front Of Nearly
Eighty Miles
Associated Press by Federal Wireless. .,

LONDON, January 7.-Gathering
strength Ike the wave of the sea, the
Russian advance in Galicia is reported
to be moving ahead over a front of
more than seventy-fve miles along the
line from Kalomea, Stanislaus and
Galich. and advancing toward styri. b
Vienna and Berlin both are alarmed
at this latest effort of the Russian
bear, and are reported to be rushing
reinrorcemcnts to the eastern fronts as
rapidly as possible.
In the mean time PREF rationn which
were under way in the Central "owers
for n gigantic invasion Of Greece, and
an attack on the Allied forces gathered
around Salonika, have been abruptly
stopped, as have the preparation that
were reported as under way for the
attempted invasion of Egypt, by way
of the Red Sea route and the Suez
Canal.
The new offensive, should it prove
successful, again will isolate Lembcrg
and probably force the Austria Hun,
garian government to withdraw the gar,
rison that has been stationed there
for months.

CONSUMPTION BILL
WINS IN COMMONS
Despite Opposition the Measure
Passes First Reading BY Vote
of 403 To 1o5
tAssOciated Press by Federal wirslous.)

LONDON, January While labor,
as. represented by tte labor council,
yesterday voted almost three to one
against conscription, and labor leaders
in the cabinet resigned rather than re.
main in office with an administration
that fathered the bill, the house of
commons passed the first reading of
the hill By. q, vote of 403 to los.
The minority, which opposed the mea-
sure introduced Wednesday by Premier
Asquith, was composed for the most
part of labor men, Irish NatiOnalists
and the ultra radicals. G. II. Roberts,
one of the lord commissioners of the
treasury, and William Brace, with Mr..
Henderson, the last two under secre-
taries and leaders of the labor party,
also denounced the measure in heated
terms, and announced that they had
resigned from the cabinet because Of
the bill, and that they would fight it to
the end.
More significant even than the stand
taken by the labor council toward the
bill was the result of plebiscite taxi
en- throughout the country. Laboring
men voted against he bill to the mum
Der of pos 900, while but 1888, 900 were
in favor of conscription.

YUAN, DESPERATE,
i MAKES FALSE MORE

WASHINGTON, January 7.--Dc-
spatchesl from Shanghai to local Chi
nese leaders of the Republican party
announce that Emperor Yuan has been
making desperate attempts to stem the
tide of revolt that is sweeping over the
whole of China. In spite Of the pro-
tests of close friends and followers,
Yuan dismissed Tang Yao and len o
Cheng, the military and civil governors
of the rebel province Of Yunnan, in
the hope that the act would appease
the eARepubhcans and halt the march of
revolt. The move proved a failure, say
the dispatches, ana succeeded only in
creating fresh trouble for the Pelmg

WASHINGTON, January L. That
each country in the Western Hemisphere
hold itself responsible for the welfare
and safety Of the others was the gist
of the plan proposed by President vii.
son in his address to the delegates to
the Pan American Congress in session
here last night.
The President, in opening his re,
marks, referred to the proposals made
the day before by Secretary of State
Lansing, as ga basis upon which the
countries Of America can work for in
ternational domestic peace throughout
the whole Of North and South Amer
lea. -
Proposes Binding Pact
Continuing, the President said that
he had TO propose that each nation
represel. ted-each country in the two
Americas--unite in guaranteeing the
political independence and the terrific.
rial integrity Of all the others. Further
more, added the speakSr, he would have
one and all enter into an agreement to
settle all boundary disputes Immediately
and on a friendly basis, and agree to
arbitrate all such disputes which might
arise in the future.
Another thing the President urged
was the need for an agreement among
the nations Of the Americas not to per-
NIT the Quitting of revolutions against
the governments of any of the others.
Such an agreement, Mr.. Wilson pointed
out, would go far toward increasing the
stability of all the governments. -.
Monroe Doctrine Sound -.
The Monroe Doctrine, said the Presi-
dent, must be maintained at all haz.
Yards, and will be adhered TO by this
country at no matter what cost, but
he added that the attitude of the Uni
ted States towards its neigbbors in the
Western Hemisnhere has been proved
by its acts in the past and the state
ment Of its leaders, and there no longer
could be any distrust.
"ln the past,p Mr.. Wilson said,
" there has been feeling on the part of
several of the oth.f American coun-
tries that the intentions of the United
States would bear watching. The at
titude was one Of suspicion.
This was due, thought the President,
to the fact that the attitude of Wash
ingtOn had been undisclosed With the
altered conditions. this feeling could
no longer hope to exist.
