the PEERACE FOR
WIN. WALDORF ASTOR

London, Dec. 3l,-A notable surprise
of the New Years honors was the
comforting Of peerage on William
Waldorf Astor. the wealthy American
citizen, who years ago became an ex-
parrot.
Mr.. Astor's title is considered as be-
ing the fulfillment of the ambition
which brought him to England 16
years ago to become a British sub

mer instances of an American becom-
ing British peer except Lord Fairfax
Of Cameron. 1t is gossip tonight that
some of the Kings advisers entertain
the belief that Mr.. Astors honor will
be especially pleasing to Americans.

official circles in Washington, answer
ed favorably the American govern
ment's demands concerning the sink
ing Of the Italian steamer Ancona by
an Austrian submarine and broken the
tension which it had been felt might
result in the severance of diplomatic
relations between the two countries.
With the demand for the punishment
Of the submarines commander having
been fulfilled by the Austria Hungary
and the Dual Monarchy's adhesion to
the American requirement that vessels
may not be sunk except as indicated
by international law, the entire Ancona
question seemingly has entered the
stage where the Naturalization of
Americans for losses sustained in the
disaster is the chief point at issue.
With the approach Of the new year,
there was little fighting on any of the
fronts, except that in Russia extend

FIRST OFFICIAL new YEARS
RECEPTION BY PRESIDENT AND
MRS. wilson AT HOT SPRINGS

who was private secretary to the late
Gov. Hammond Of Minnesota:
will you convey to Governor Ham
mond's family and publicly express for
me my profound sympathy and sin
cere regret for his death. l am sure
this must be the sentiment of the
whole country and of all who knew
his sterling character"
No comment was made by the Presi-
dent on news dispatches saying Aus
tria Hungary had made u favorable
reply to the second note of the United
States rega riding the sinking Of the

ever, that the situation growing out
of the Ancona incident is regarded as
having cleared up to such an extent
that Secretary Lansing will not make
a trip here and the President probably
will not return to Washington before
the middle Of next week.

when he was attacked by an iniuriated
bull. 1t appears that the bull had
teen tormented to some extent by

place the bull in the barn and just as
lie was opening a gate preparatory
to driving the bull into the barn cor
raj the animal charged knocking him
down. Before he could recover and
regain his feet the bull continued his
attacks and attempts to gore Mr..
Beebe. Fortunately some of the ranch
hands discovered Mr.. Beebe's pre,tic-

lie was seriously injured, Dr.. Wilson
was called and after an examination
announced there We're no broken
bones, but that Mr.. Beebe was badly
