an armistice was arranged last week,
the Serajevo message said.
Austrian commanders in combat
with .he mountain bands still offering
resistance have been ordered in each
instance to signal the enemy news Of
the armistice before attacking. In
some regions this has resulted in the
surrender of the Montenegrin troops.
Most ol the mountain leaders, how
ever, received the report with incred-
uiity and continue to harass the Aus
trians, though these bands are being
rounded up as rapidly as possible.
At the request of General Koevess,
King Nicholas, the Serajevo dispatch
said, had dispatched messengers to re-
mote Montenegrin districts. calling
upon the people to lay down their arms.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN
CASCADE MOUNTAINS
Fifteen Persons in the Two
Cars Which Were Swept
Into Ravine = Rescuers
Still Hard at Work in the
Wreck.

Leavenworth, WASH Jan. 22.-Swept
to a swift death in an avalanche of
snow was the fate of five passengers
when the dining car and day coach of
Spokane Owl train No. % of the Great
Northern railroad were hurled from
the mountain side into a ravine 800
feet below, at Corea, Wash, 40 miles
from here, early this morning.
There was no warning. With a vast,
space filing roar the side of the noun
tain suddenly ripped loose, tons of
snow and earth shot down, cut the two
coaches from the rest of the train, and
the next moment the shrill cries Of
men and women, some of them just
awakened, echoed the roar of the
mountain slide.
1t was horrible tragedy. enacted in

that had accumulated a half mile west
of this point as the result of a small
slide few hours earlier. It was 6:45
o'clock. and hardly any of the passen-
gers even knew that the train had
stopped for any length of time. The
train had left Spokane at Sis Friday
night and was due in Seattle this
morning at s:15.
1t was several hours before rescuing
parties could reach the coaches in the
gulch. A sleeping car was bowled off
the track by the slide, but the coup

The known dead are:

caught fire and that one person was
burned to death. Cries for help could

lieved to Have Been Kid
naped by Negro.

believed to be a prisoner in the

fate.
II am a prisoner. For Gods sake be

note which gave him the clue to the
womans whereabouts, following her
disappearance yesterday.
II have taken the only course to
keep my family from death and de-
struction. You cannot suffer more than
am and have been. Tell the people
we had trouble and | left. Goodbye,
Viola" the wife wrote.
The note instructed Hood TO ask his
mother-in-law about the case. From
here, Hood learned that a negro, for
merly in the Hoods employ had threat

he had been discharged.

negro had seized her, smugglcd her
into an automobile and come north to
a place of hiding. The pick of the de-
tective force was placed on the hunt
tonight, with orders to ferret out the
negro, capture him dead or alive, and

0HERE is no prize sought by for
eign spies more diligently than
is the secret code of the United
Il States navy. The great mari
time powers would pay any sum
of money to procure it. This code is
known to just as few persons living as
is possible. The president secretary
of state, secretary of the navy and GER
tain officers of the navy commanding
vessels at sea pretty nearly comprise
the list.
1t Is the most wonderful, and I be-
lieve the very best code in existence.
By means of it a message could be sent
to our fleet to blockade a port in Eu-
rope or Asia and though the message
might be published throughout the
world, not a soul outside of those hold
ing the code book and the key number
would be the wiser.
A copy of this code Is kept in a vault
in the navy department building In
Washington and those copies which
are kept on board ships at sea are in
the custody of the officer commanding,
who locks them in his safe.
Should a vessel be captured in war
times the code book would be de-
stroyed. Every precaution imaginable
is taken to safeguard it.
Bribing Only Method.
This makes it practically impossible
for spy even to attempt to get pos
session of the code except through out
and-out bribery of high officials or
officers in the service And I can say
that l have never heard of "a commits =
