Rx webb Miller.

III Paso, Texas, Dec. 27-That Villa Is
objective is Tamplco and that the band
it leader is setting the stage for an at
tack upon that Mexican seaport was in
dicated in reports obtaiued today by
United State diplomatic agents here.
Although no official confirmation
has been received, authorities here are
inclined to accept the report that Villa
forces are now in possession of San
Luis Potosi, cutting off communication
betweten Tampico and the west. Mill
tary men here believe that a separate
force Of bandits must have gone south
il the city is now in Villa Is hands.
Officers close to the bandit chieftain
told foreigners in chihuahua City that
Villa planned to take Tampico and
force international complications and
action against the Carranzista govern
ment by the United States. Fuel for
the English fleet is drawn from the oil
fields in that region and Villa believes
that England would imedmiately force
the United States government to act if
the oil supply was cut off.
In the absence of direct reports, Uni
ted States diplomatic agents here Villa
in all probability viii next move upon
Saltillo and Monterey, the only two po.
sitions of any Importance between his
present base at Tolreon and Tampico
Private dispatches from Queretaro state
that the Carranzista government is max
ing the greatest effort to round up ev,
cry available man into the campaign
against Villa. With the railway cut al
San Luis Potosi, progress of the gov,
ernment forces north will be hindered
Authentic reports received here today
tell Of the capture of an entire division
of Carranzistas, numbering $500 by Vii
listas at San Pedro, following the fal
of that city. The government troops
were being rushed toward Torreon K
reinforce the garrison there, but were
cut off~and taken prisoners by the

MEN IN TRENCHES
ARE AGAINST PEACE
Feeling Is That His Note SIM

By william Philip simms.
Omitted Press staff correspondent.

(Unlted PreSS starr cQfrespondent.)
With the British Armies in France,
Dec. 81" Never has the British army
been so prepared to fight; why should
we talk peaceg'
"You can safely give that as the Bri-
tish army's answer to all peace talk, y
declared staff general today in answer
to questions, as to what he and his men
thought Of President Wilson Is note.
To say that the American note fell
like bombshell here is putting it mild
ly. Bombshells are always expected
hereabouts, whereas such step as that
taken by the American president was
remotest removed from all thoughts.
The move was variously commented
upon by the fighting men. Nobody
doubted for an instant the president Is
good intentions in the suggestions, but
the feeling was that strong influences
had succeeded III inducing him to be-
lieve. this was an opportune moment to
act. Such action was regarded as smooth
ing Germany Is road and enabling her
to take the second step in her peace
program.
Sentiment at the front is uncondition-
ally against peace now. Every indica.
tion points to much worse conditions in
Germany than the world even suspects;
on the other hand, the allies are daily
better situated to wage successful Of

AUTOMOBILE STRUCK
BY ELECTRIC TRAIN
Engine Went Dead As II
Crossed Track - Auto
Smashed, No One Hurt

Mr.. and Mrs NJ B. Mitchell, who
live north of this city, had a narrow
escape from death yesterday afternoon
when the Ford ear in which they were
riding was struck by an Oregon Electric
train in front of the court house. The
accident happened at AIS O'Clock and
lserious injury was averted only by the
quick stopping of the electric train by
Motorman Shumway. As it was the
Ford S left rear wheel was smashed, the
fender bent, and a big cash cut in the
side Of the door.
Mr.. and Mrs, Mitchell had just en-
tered their machine to drive home after
doing shopping at the Farmers Cash
Store and he had turned across the
track to go North on High street. Just
as they got on the track the motor
died and he was stalled directly in the
path of the on-coming train. Before
the train was stopped it pushed the
Ford thirty feet along the pavement.
Neither Mr. Mitchell or Mrs Mitchell
were injured.

RELIES ON
STRANGE EVIDENCE
Murder Trial in Which Con-
tents Of Stomach VIII Be
Main Evidence

Ossipee, n. H., Dee. o7.-- Chemical
analysis Of the stomach Of Mrs. Flor
ence Small, for whose murder on Sep
tember 26 Frederick Small, her husband,
is on trial, shows that she ate roast
beef on the day of her death, according
to information here today. This simple
fact, the defense claims, will prove the
turning point of the trial and prove the
innocence of the accused man.
Small left his cottage, in the ruins Of
which his wife body was found mat
night, at 3p, m. on the day Of the mur.
der. For lunch he said his wife had
canned shrimp. The presence of roast
beef in the stomach of the murdered
woman proves therefore, according to
the defense, that she was alive after
her husband 5 departure, that she ate
supper and was murdered by persons un.
known after that meal
Attorney William S. Matthews, chief
counsel for the defense, said he is per.
feetly satisfied with the analysis OF
the stomach contents as furnished by
tho state attorneys.
Indications are that the jury will be
completed today and that County So
licitor Walter D. H. Hill will make his
opening address to the jury. The jury
probably will view the ruins tomor
row. The jurors will ride in sleighs
eight miles to the ice coated shores OF
beautiful Lake Ossipee. The horses will
plunge through two feet of snow to
reach the scene of the crime.

will tsate Her Terms.

Washington, Dec. 27.-If President
Wilson will get from the entente allies
their terms of peace, Germany probab-
"" will furnish to the president the
Teuton terms, it was stated at the Ger
man embassy today.
Central power diplomats agreed with
this belief. They said they do not ex-
pect any move from President Wilson
until England Is reply to his peace note
Is received. Should President Wilson
thereupen transmit the German reply ia
England and should England officially
ask for Germany's peace terms through
the president, it is thought probable
Germany would reply favorably if a
similar concession was made by Eng.
land.
In such an event, however, Germany,
it was said, would prefer both sets Of
peace terms to be held Temporarily CON
fidential between the belligerents and
President Wilson and not be pubiishe ed
except by mutual agreement.

GERMANY TO SEND
TERMS TO WILSON
IF ENGLAND DOES
Would Ask Though That
These Be Published Only
by Mutual Consent
PRESIDENT ACTUATED
BY TWO STRONG REASONS
One to Bring War To An End,
the Other to Avoid
Complications
By Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondents
Washington, Dec. 27.-Despite gen
eral feeling of hopelessness among gov
ernment heads over prospects for peace,
in the light of Germany's s latest com
munication, men closest to President
Wilson believed Today he will strive to
the utmost to prevent the situstion get
ting beyond his grasp.
Two reasons they say viii actuate
him, namely:
A desire to end the war and desire,
if possible, to avoid having to put
through his Sussex note threat to break
relations with Germany should she over
step her submarine pledges.
Officials made no secret of their pes
simism over the allied rejection of the
German proposal for round table con
ference.
This was the more emPhs site because
Germany does mot propos" now to link
the idea of world .4ramty with
the round table session, entity The
allies want such theme j aded.

said the fsdoor is not closed !, and that
while the allies may throw down the
German conference idea hard, Wilson
still can move again, especially with the
backing of neutrals
Wilson Is friends held he has placed
himself in the position of at least 6
potential mediator and hence cannot
quit now unless his ideas are thrown
down hard and fast.
( While the idea of obtaining peace i,

In fact one of the highest official
told the United Press today that pres
ent plans call for no more note writing
to Germany.
He added, if the. Marina, Arabia am

or If Germany starts new submarin,

Washington, Dec. 27.-Two develop.
ments that closely followed each other
today thrust the Mexican situation to

The first was an unsolicited state
ment from the state department that
unrest in northern Mexico is growing

attention once more is focused toward
the border.
The second was announcement by
Secretary of the Interior Lane that he

noon no word had been received as 10
whether General Carranza had signed

The state department newspaper con-

The department suspects Villa of
