CONSTRUCTING RAILROAD
 YELLVILLE TO RUSH

Little Rock, June 24.-General Man ager H. k. Cochran of the railroad which is being constructed from Yell vile to Rush, is securing Arkansas for rails to be used in completing the line. MT. Cochran was in Little Rock Friday looking up people who might have the desired article for sale.
 The mineral belt railroad is a mar row gauge, and the steel required is consequently of light weight Shea engines and several miles of track were purchased from Saline county saw mills. Additional rail was se- cured that had at one time served the horse drawn street railway in Little Rock. MT. Cochran needs about ten miles of rail and he hopes to find it at some abandoned saw mill camp.
 The railroad is now completed from Summit, the Yellville railroad sta tion, to Melville, distance of two miles and half and a motor car will be put in operation within the next two weeks, to operate over this por- tiOn of the line.
 The grades are so heavy. and the curves so sharp and numerous, it was almost impossible to build a standard guage railroad between Rush and Yellville

Washington, Dec. 29.-If Germany
desires to get her terms of peace in
secret to the Entente allies through
the agency of the United States, the
United States will meet the request.
This was the statement of a high
official today. But he added that the
United States, in so acting, is merely
acting in the capacity of messenger.
He expressed the idea that Germany
was probably trying to draw the Unit.
ed States into entering peace terms
upon the basis Germany suggested.
6unoIed by Lansing.
The idea of break with Germany
on account OF submarine issues seem.
ed to grow here today. There was an
undercurrent opinion that the German
peace answer is insincere and that
there is little chance Of the Entente
allies meeting the German proposal.
Fears that an unbridled'" submarine
war would follow was expressed in
diplomatic circles.
British Ambassador Spring Rice
said today that the Entente allies
would never consent to German peace
talk as stated. in the German reply.
There was some talk today among
congressman that negotiations had
been bungled through Secretary Lam
sing. They said that Lansing had no
need of fear that the neutrality of the
United States would be abandoned II
international law were kept.

Washington, Dec. 29.-General Car

modification of the protocol covering
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico was examined closely today by
Secretary Lane, chairman of the Amer
lean members of the American COM
mission, who has summoned his COL
leagues to confer with him here as

the commission is held next week.
Although the document has not been
made public, it was said General Car
ranzas insistence on the unconditional
retirement of the American forces is
not so strong as formerly, chiefly be-
cause of the new military situation in
northern Mexico.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Dec. 29.-Judgirg from the
unofficial report from all fronts, peace
efforts of President Wilson and Switz-
erland will not succeed Immediately
in bringing an end to hostilities, until
there has been another great Allied
movement. ..i.
Reports here today indicate a gen.
eral artillery preparation. Indications
are that England, in the west, the
Balkans in the vicinity of Saloniki,
and Russia in the East are preparing
to accept Hindenberg's challenge for
a bitter fight. Peace talk will then
recede, it Is considered probable.
Another Test.
1t is doubted if the issue will be
brought up again until the fall, when
the Allies strength in men and steel
will have been tested. That this test
will meet with failure for the Entente
Allies is taken as matter of course
in Berlin.
In the West, there has been consid-
cradle artillery activity, newspapers
report. The greatest activity was re-
ported today from Lille to Ypres. A
great English offensive is expected.
"Our forces in Roumania,' says q
newspaper today, "are in close touch
with the enemy. Large numbers of
prisoners have been taken. In Mace
donia something sapparcntly develop
ing. General Sarrail seems to have
turned back to his original plan of
breaking our lines in the center, fol-
lowing his unsuccessful effort to break
our left flank"

concerned. Formal remuneration of
such rights must be made in accord

that such foreigners must in effect be-;

Washington, Dec. 29.-The United
States government today found itself
in a quarry of diplomatic negotiations
regarding Mexico.
The administration must decide
whether it will stand by it's guns and
tell the CarranZa government that
the Mexican-American peace confer
ence has been automatically ended by
his refusal to sign the peace protocol.
or whether they will continue to give
the administration Of Mexico more
time for consideration. "ar
That this government is about to re-
lax it's position in the Carranza proto-
col incident and make concessions to
Carranza, in connection with the with
drawal of the expeditionary forces was
a common belief here this afternoon.
Congressional circles suggested that
Pershing's columns should be with
drawn, irrespective of any protocol ne
gotiations. Military men admitted
there are no military reasons for Per-
shing's column to remain where it is.
