RESERVATIONS OF THREE U. S.
DIPLOMATS RENDERED WILSON

Washington-The first designations
from the diplomatic corps, which are
expected to be the forerunners of 9TH
ers as a consequence of President VIII
sons reelection and the closing of his
first term, were announced.
DR.. Henry Van Dyke, minister to
the Netherlands, has resigned and
probably will be succeeded by John
w. Garrett, of Baltimore, formerly
minister to Argentina. DR.. Van Dyke
it was explained, has been concerned
over his health for some time and also
desired to return to his literary work
after being abroad nearly four yeas.
The resignation Of Thaddeus A.
Thompson, minister to Colombia and
William NJ Hornibrook, minister to
Siam, also were announced. Mr.. Thorn
son was appointed in 1913. Mr.. Horn
ibrook was appointed in 1915.
Some time ago it became known that
the government was expecting that
members of the diplomatic corps would
in accordance with custom, forward
their designations.

TEUTONS MAKE ADVANCES
FIELD MARSHAL MAckENsEN's
ARMY HAS CAPTURED CUR
GU IN ADVANCE.
Forces Of Central Powers Are Now
In Possession Of Curtea de Argos,
90 Miles From Bucharest, and
Giuraiu, 20 Miles From the Capital.

London-With the forces of the
Central Powers in possession-ac-
cording to German official reports.
which hitherto have proven accurate
with regard to the recent events in
Rumania-of Curtea de Argos, an i'm
portant railway terminal 80 miles
from Bucharest, and Giurgiu, on the
railway 40 miles southwest of the
Capital anxiety as to the fate of
Bucharest is greatly increased.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
capture of Giurgiu, shows that his
army has advanced 80 miles in
single day. Further, a Bulgarian Of
fetal communication claims that the
Danube has been crossed near LON
Palaka and Vidin and the town of
Kalafatu. opposite Vidin, captured.
Nothing is yet admitted by the
Rumanians of these enemy advances,
but it is assumed that the Rumanians
are cont, uuing their orderly retire
ment toward the line Of the Argesiu
River. A danger, however, lies in
the possibility of this retirement not
being effected quickly enough to pre-
vent an attack on their flank from
Won Mackensen's forces at Giugriu,
from which point there is both rail
and direct communication to Buch-
Arrest
1t is impossible to doubt that the
situation is viewed here with the
greatest misgivings. The question is
being frankly asked whether the &C
cession of Rumania to the Entente
Allies cause his brought strength or
weakness, whether Russia has rem
dered the assistance which might
have been expected from her and
whether the Allies might not have
shown more initiative in attack from
Saloniki whether the collapse in Ru-
mania is due to any lack of unity in
the Allies plans of strategy or wheth-
er it is due in large part to Ru-
mania's hasty invasion of Transyl-
vania.

NATIONWIDE INTEREST IN EF-
FORTS TO REDUCE COST OF
LIVING.
EMBARGO IS NOT FAVORED
President Wilson Will Likely Deal
With Subject in a Special Message.
Speeding up of Program is Urged
BY All.

Washington.-The high cost of liv-
ing and what steps the Federal Gov
eminent can take to control it ,assum'
ed proportions as a national question
with the converting of Congress,
which overshadowed all other issues
in the first days proceedings.
Possibility that President Wilson
will deal with the subject in a special
address grew stronger.
Eleven bills and resolutions, seek
ing to check the soaring prices of
food by stopping shipments to Eu-
rope, reducing parcel post rates on
foodstuffs or controlling cold storage,
were introduced in the house.
President Gompers and a commit
tee of the American Federation of
Labor called on President Wilson and
asked him to appoint a special COM
mission to investigate the food ques-
ton. The President assured them
that the government would take some
steps to meet the situation. He is
understood to prefer not to appoint
commission as it practically would be
without authority to compel test1-
mony; while a congressional investi-
cation probably would mean a pro-
tracted delay.
Reports being gathered by the De-
partment of Agriculture are being laid
before the President as fast as they
are compiled and upon them he is
expected to decide on any action.
which undoubtedly will be prefaced
by a special address to congress.
One report submitted by Secretary
Redfield and held confidential as yet.
is understood to show wide margin
between prices paid to producers and
those paid by consumers. In recent
address the President virtually charg-
ed the middlemen with responsible
ity for the high cost of living.

ROUTED CARRANzA'S men
BRING THE STORY OF FIVE DAYS
MENT FROM CITY.
Piles Of Dead in Chihuahua Covered
With Oil and Burned When Villa
Enters City.-5andits Sing and
Shout in Santa Rosa Hill Charge.

Juarez, Mexico.-The remnants OF
Carranza army that fed from Ch1hua-
hua City after a battle with Villa
troops are in camp on the plains south
of Juarez. They bought with them
the story of the evacuation OF the city
after four days and nights of fighting.
The dead were piled high in the streets
when they left and had been covered
with Oil and burned, they said.
The troops brought back many of
their field pieces. Women camp fol-
lowers shared in the retreat. Some
of them had children said to have been
born on the battlefield.
Refugees said that between the
cemetery and Santa Rosa hill the
dead covered the streets. Along the
streets near the railroad station and
surrounding the station, one of the
refugees said he saw many cavalry
horses with carbines and sabers at
tached to the saddles. The Carranza
cavalrymen abandoned them in order
to leave the city on the troop train.
Along Zarco avenue the fighting had
been fiercest and many civilians had
been killed there and in other parts
of the city by shell fire and rifle balls.
Many houses we're damaged.
Defenders Routed Fifth Day.
All of the refugees agreed that
Carranza troops were winning during
the first four days of the fighting, but
either because of shortage Of ammu-
milton or lack of morale, they abandon
ed the city early on the fifth morning
of the battle, fleeing in all directions.
The taking of Santa Rosa hill, which
always has been known as the "key
to Chihuahua" was said by one foreign
refugee to have started the retire
ment of the Carranza forces, which he
said, resembled a rout before the last
train left.
One civilian refugee claimed that
General Gonzales Cuellar was respon-
sible for the taking Of Santa Rosa
hill, where he was in command as he
allowed the infantry line to be weak
ened.
1t is believed by the refugees and
left first for Tabaloapa, south of the
city and from there moved to ALBANIA,
about 20 miles from Chihuahua City
One Mexican civilian refugee de-
clared he had seen Villa in the CITY
Monday morning. He said Villa was
walking with crutches, as if to inspire
his men with fortitude. He looked
much thinner than Of old.
To obtain medicines for his wound
ed Villa ia said hv this refupea tn
have broken into two drug stores in
the city. Thinking this action meant
the beginning of footing Villa bandits
broke into stores and private homes.
Villa is said to have shot two of his
followers and succeeded in stopping
the pillaging

HOUSE LEADERS CLARK AND
KlTCHIN CONFER WITH
PRESIDENT.
LEADERS TO SUPPORT BILL
High Cost of Living is Likely to Re-
ceive Attention.-Leaders Want No
Holiday Recess as Time is Short
For so Much Work.

Washington.-Spe Clark and
Representative Kitchin, Majority
Leader of the House, assured Presi-
dent Wilson at a White House confer
ence that they would do all they
could to hasten the passage of rail
road legislation at the short session Of
Congress which began Monday.
The President summoned the House
leaders to talk over with them the
legislative program and to secure
their cooperation in expediting i'm
pOrtant measures. Legislation to sup
plement the AdamsOn law, he said,
was of the utmost Importance and he
asked that this be given precedence
in consideration over all other gen.
eral legislation.
Realizing that three months is a
short period for consideration of gen.
eral measures when appropriation
bills also must be passed, the Presi-
dent asked the House leaders if they
thought there would be time for en-
actment of new railroad laws before
March 4. Both told him they thought
there would be, and promised to ex-
ert every effort to economic time on
other matters.
Speaker Clark reminded the Presi-
dent that Congress would have to pay
strict attention to business, and him
to help at the outset to eliminate the
usual two weeks holiday recess.
President Wilson spoke briefly re-
garding other important measures,
among them the Webb bill to permit
domestic corporations to maintain
collective foreign selling agencies, the
corrupt political practices bill and
conservation measures. Proposed en-
barge legislation and issues raised
by the high cost of living we're not
mentioned at the conference, although
the House leaders believe the subject
is bound to demand attention of the
congress.

GEORGE w. ANDERSON WILL d.
RECT INVESTIGATIONS BEING
MADE BY FEDERAL AGENTS.
ARE PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Will Use All Power to See That ISsSsar-
state Commerce Moves UncIoegeSs
and Unchecked by Any Illegal Conn.,

Boston.-Investigat of the high
cost of living which are now being
made by Federal officials or agents
throughout the country will be direct
ed by George w. Anderson, the Uni
ted States attorney for this district,
it was announced here. Attorney Gen
era1 Gregory, according to a state
ment issued by the United States at
torney's office, has asked Mr.. Ander-
son to take charge of the investiga
tons, so "that the work may be CO.
ordinated and made as effective and
rapid as possible"
while technically the jurisdiction
of the Department of Justice is only
to deal with illegal restraints of inter
state commerce, the investigation will
take rather wide range, and all per-
tinent facts and informations will be
used as effectively as possible to bring
about a coordination between govern
ment and business forces.
Undoubtedly other departments of
the government, like the Department
Of Agriculture, the Department of
Commerce, the Federal Trade Com
mission and the Interstate Commerce
Commission will have data and views
which will be of the greatest assist
ance in this matter.
"Of course the Department is un-
der no delusive notion that it can
make short crops long or manufacture
or repair needed freight cars but it
does propose to use all power within
the governments control to see that
interstate commerce moves unclogged
and unchecked by any illegal combtna-
ton in restraint of trade

WILSON TURNS FLOOD OF
LIGHT ON STATUE OF LIBERTY
Roar of Salute Sounded From Great
Guns of Atlantic Fleet.

Roar of Salute Sounded From Great
Guns of Atlantic Fleet.
New York.-At a wireless signal
flashed by President Wilson from the
yacht Mayflower in the harbOr here
the Statue of Liberty was bathed in
light. Bartholdi's famous symbol of
American freedom, which for 80 years
has been a token of welcome to the
United States to millions of immi-
grants from every land, will be illuni-
mated every night hereafter from top
to bottom. Funds to install the perma-
nent lighting system for the Statue,
the gift to the United States of AGO.
900 citizens of France were provided
by subscription in this country.
Il light this Statue" said the Pres
ident, with the thought that it may
always stand as a symbol OF our pur-
pose to throw upon liberty, out Of
out own life as a nation, a light
which shall reveal it's dignity, it's Sc
rene power, it's benignant hope and
spirit of guidance"
Grouped around the President up
on the MayfiOWer's deck as he flash
ed the signal were Mrs. Wilson, Jules
J. Jusserand, Ambassador of France,
Madame Jesserand, high officers of
the army and navy and representa-
tives of several nations.
The great guns of a division of the
Atlantic fleet anchored in the harbor
as a guard of honor, doomed salute
as the statue flashed into view, out
lined in white light. The whistles of
countless harbor craft shrieked in uni
son and flares of red light blazed up
along the shore.
There was a flash of flame high
above the statue and Ruth Law in her
airplane added a spectacular touch to
the ceremonies of ILLUMINATION. Spout
ing sparks and fire from the tail of
her machine, she circled the lower
end of Manhattan Island.

BUY LAYING HENS AND EAT

Speaker Champ Clark Advises This as
Quicker Than Governmental REM
edies to Combat High Prices.
Washington-If the high cost of
living bothers you, don't wait for gov
erment remedies, but buy some lay
ing hens and eat more corn products
and rice, says Speaker Clark. Not
that he does not think the government
can help bring down the price of food
stuffs by legislative or other action,
but he pins greater faith in more di-
rect methods.
Thus the speaker expressed himself
on the high cost of living problems,
which he regards as one of the great
est facing the nation. Referring to
Representative Fitzgerald's embargo
bill, he said:
There may or may not be a chance
for Mr.. Fitzgerald's proposed bill. 1t
might do some good don't know.
