ROME, Jan. 21.-The utmost i'm
portance was attached today to the
vatican announcement that the pope
will hold another consistory early in
March. It is understood that the car
dinals viii be summoned into con-
clave as another step in the pontiff's
program for an early peace.
Ostensibly the consistory has been
called in order that Pope Benedict
may impose the red hat upon Mon
signor Scapanelli, papal nunzio at
Vienna and Monsignor Fruhwirth,
nunzio at Munich, who were created
cardinals in December, but who did
not come to Rome.
In reality, diplomats believe the
pope wants to inform himself Of the
precise conditions and possibilities of
peace tn Vienna and the feeling tn

ATHENS, Jan. 21.-After q two
days bonn bardment, an AngIo-French
squadron silenced the forts at tho
Bulgarian town Of Porto Lagos and
landed troops on Bulgarian soil. The
allied land forces destroyed Bulgarian
gun empIacements and after 4 brief
reconnaissance Withdrew.
The landing was made on Wednss-
day with only slight casualties. Anglo
French troops moved northward to-
ward the Bulgarian railway q few

garian war office teIegraphed here to-
day reported the bombardment Of
Porto Lagos and Dedegatch by an
AngIo-French squadron Of twenty-four

mention Of the landing Of troops the
following day.
On the same day, the Turkish war
office reported another AngIo-French
squadron sheiied Turkish positions on
tho gulf Of saros.
The warships taking part In the
raid on the Bulgarian and Turkish
coasts presumably were from tho
Anglo-French DardaneIies squadron Of

possible the reconnoIsance at Porto
Lagos was preliminary TO a troop
landing In force.

Reports To Washington.

Representative Carter Glass, of Vir-

National Committee, while in Wash
ington from New York, predicted that
Wilson would sweep the Middle anC
Far West
"Everything is looking good for
President Wilson and getting better
every day" said Mr.. Glass. Our
advices at New York headquarters in
dictate that he will sweep the Middle
West and Far West.
The campaign in the East has been
little slow on both sides, but within
the last 10 days the activity among
the Democratic organizations in New
York has been marked and the Dem
ocratic leaders predict certain victory
in that State.
THE ringing statements of Judge
Lovett, president of the Union Pacific
Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford
have had powerful effect in business
circles and from all indications we are
assured that the farmers Of the coun-
try are turning to Wilson in great
numbers"

eight-hour-d system in all of their
factories, which employ $4,000 men.
The men will be given 10 hours pay
for the eight hours work.
The action created a political SEN

of the company are in strong Republi-
can districts and both owners are Re-
publicans, who, however. have an
nounced their intention of supporting
President Wilson. The new order
was inspired by the Presidents action
in the railroad case, which led to the
passage of the Adamson law.

"NO USE FOR TRAITORS"
Why Civil War Veteran Strceter Has
BOlted Hughes.

From all over the country come
reports of old soldiers supporting
President Wilson. Old soldiers know
what war is, and they, more than the
average person, perhaps, appreciate
the Presidents great service to the
people in keeping the country out of
war.
One of the latest of the Civil War
veterans to declare for Wilson is A.
Z. Streeter, of Lincoln, Neb., who was
member of the First Wisconsin Cav
airy in the historic dispute of 1861
1865.
Il voted the straight Republican
ticket for forty-seven years." says Mr.
Streeter, and | guess | can claim to
be as good a Republican as anybody

candidate for president, beginning
with Lincoln in 1864 and continuing up
to Taft in 1912. But l am not for
