WILL PRESS THEM FOR
 THEIR EARLY PASSAGE.
President and Chairman Kitch- en of Ways and Means Com- mittee will Confer on the Entire Revenue Question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Democrat- ic leaders expect to have the admins tration bills for the creation of tar if commission. the repeal of the free sugar clause in the Underwood Tarinf before the House before the end of the week and press them for early passage Chairman Kitchin announced the Ways and Means Committee would meet Wednesday or Thursday to draft reports on the two measures and that the sugar bill would be considered first and probably would be considered al Democratic caucus within a week.
 Some Democrats on the committee are said to favor deferring action on the tariff commission and sugar bills until party leaders have worked out 9 definite revenue program. As sugar will go on the free list May 1. unless a repeal is passed separate action on that bill will probably be recommend ed. About s4O.0O0.000 are derived by the sugar tsriff annually Represen- tative Hilrs bill for a protective tariff on dyestriffs will be discussed at con ference between the President and Chairman Kitchin some time next week. It is understood they may go over the entire revenue situation.

PARRAL MINING CAMP
 RAIDED ON FRIDAY.
Advices from Mexico City In- dicate Campaign by Consti- tutionalists Against Zapata in Oaxaca District.

FL PASO. Feb. 5-The whereabouts of Villa are proving puzzle to Car ranza authorities in northern Mexico While several detachments of troops are securing the country fifty miles east of Juarez. where Villa is reported to be advancing towards the border, advices from Madeira, Chihuahua, re- ported Villa in the Santa Clara dis. trict west of the Central Mexican Railway.
 Carranza troops from Madeira, Bue- na Ventura and Ojos Calientes were despatched to the Santa Clara region on the strength of the Madeira advices, while attachments from Ojinago and other points continue to SCOUT the Bosque Bonito country east of Juarez. Private advices to American mining representatives here indicate that bandits attacked the mining camp of Parral, below Chihuahua City, yester- day. but that all is quiet there now. Carranza officials denied there had been any attack.
 General Gavira, at Juarez, explained that most of the troops were pursuing Villa were infantry. while Villa is supposed to have good cavalry mounts. A dispatch from the information bureau at Mexico City stated that General Pablo Gonzalez had an- nounced that the long delayed camp aign against the Zapatistas would be begun within the next ten days and not abandoned until the states of Morelos and Oaxsca are in complete control of the Carranza forces. He stated that 100000 troops were being prepared for the campaign.

BETTER OUTLOOK.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5--For the word illegal which Germany is un- willing to incorporate in the Lusitania agreement. the Berlin Foreign Office substituted phrase which certainf high authorities consider covers all the principles involved in the ques- tion of submarine warfare. The sub stitution. now being considered by the President, ayers the killing of Ame- ricans was without intent because the destruction of the lines was an act of reprisal and the German govern ment agrees reprisals should not he applied to neutrals.
 From officials of diplomatic quart CTS came the information that the outlook was promising for an early settlement. It is indicated that the tentative note appears to be nearer the desires of the United States than any submitted with the authority of Berlin.

Opening of Bombardment by Germans and Bulgarians Said to Pressage Early At tempt to Get Greek Port.
ACTION HAS BEEN EX-
 PECTED FOR WEEKS
Other Fronts Comparatively Quiet. Different Stories Ennanate from Both German and Allied Sources.

LONDON. Feb. 5.-The long expect ed offensive of the Teutons against Saloniki may be near. A dispatch from Saloniki reports artillery duels have been in progress for two days near the Doran. where strong forces of the Cen fral Powers for some time have been facing the positions of the Allies Such bombardment might be the prelude of Teuton advance. which, according 10 recent reports from the Balkans, was set for the middle of the present month and which may even now be in progress. Elsewhere along the many fighting lines few operations of any importance have been recorded.
 According to a message through al- lied sources from the Balkans, in re- porting the opening of the lombard ment. the British heavy guns were dominating those of the Germans and anlsarians opposed to them
 On the Franco-Belgian front the French artillery continues activity and the bombsrdment is intense in Cham paigne and Argonne Berlin reports cases of sporadic activity by the in fantry. one instance being south of the I Bassee canal where the British are declared to have been repulsed when one of their detachments attempted an advance. South of Somme, where the Germans made gains recently, the French were beaten off in hand gren- ade aftaclys Few reports of pronounce ed activity come from Russia or Cali cia. The German airships in the Dvinsk region was the only incident in this theatre mentioned in the Ger man communication.
 Along the Austro-Italian line the deadlock shows no signs of being brok en. German reports declare the 1tal- ians are worn out and discouraged by their failure to advance and have rec oenized the impossibility of breaking the Austrian lines. No indications of laegirg Italian activity. however. are reflected in official reports
 From Mescpotamia the Turks are re norted driving back the British to their former positions. Vienna announces that peace negotiations with Montene- grin cabinet ministers, remaining in their country have not been begun by Austria and will not be started until the ministers are furnished with un- impeachable credentials empowering them to conclude peace that shall be binding

AFFAIRS REST IN KNEES BLADE |S
 OPINION
Berlin Paper Declares that Lu- sitania Controversy Between Germany and America is Di- plomatic Quicksand.
PRESENT CONDITIONS
 APPEAR UNSTABLE
Reports from Washington In- dicate a Lessening of the
 Tension. Change of Word ing in Agreement Probable.

BERLIN. Feb. 5.-In leader head ed American Crisis" the Tagliche Rundschau is disposed to take serI- ous view of the situation existing be- tween Germany and the United States, as a result of the Lusitania negotiations. It begins by declaring; Let nobody deceive himself about the fact that affairs between America and us rest on knife's edge and can not remain thus long There must quickly be either lessening of the tension in a friendly direction or catastrophral decision"
 Continuing the Rundschau says: "The present condition appears un- stable. The confession that this is so can be read in the latest semi-of- ficial German communication con corning the existing relations between Berlin and Washington Wilhelm strasse has decided not to leave the decision of the conduct of this mo- mentous affair longer in the hands Oi Ambassador won Bernstorff. who is negotiating with Washington. but to take decisive hand from here after looking on so long"
 The paper comments upon the gen eral surprise of the German people at finding the Lusitania matter still un- settled. It states that American de mands disavowal of the torpedoins as illegal. It declares submission would mean colossal injustice. not only as far as the Lusitania is con cerned. but also virtually to pass death sentence upon the German sub marine fighters and branding their whole warfare as lawless-

AND WINE FOR STATE IF
 SONORA
General Gales May Throw Border and Interior Open to Traffic in Light Liquor. To Bar Whiskey.

DOUGLAS, Feb. 5.-Beer carrying no more than per cent alcohol and light wines will soon be obtainable in Agua Prieta and other Sonora towns. according to g report current among well-informed Mexicans across the bor der.

 It will also be provided. it is under stood. that no beer containing more than 5 per cent alcohol will be allow ed to be sold. As this will admit prac tically all American draft beers to Son Old, IT VIII DC poooibit tO ODtoih yOuh favorite brews.
 General Gales in making this de- cree is giving way to popular clamor. Sonora can not bear the idea of facing the summer months without cooling drinks at hand to assuage it's thirst. according to Agua Prietans.
 The name of Gales has hitherto been associated with strict prohibition. Com ing to the decision that his men fought better and were more orderly when they had nothing to drink, he caused the saloons to be closed in every town of the state as he took charge of them. He also sent commands of soldiers out into the country districts to destroy the vinaterias where mescal was made On capturing Naco. Sonora. last sum- mer. his forces destroyed thousands of dollars worth of liquor belonging to American saloonists.
 There will be no exclusive concess- ions for the sale of beverages. If Gales issues the decree. 1t was learn ed. Under the constitutionalist prin- ciples. such a thing as an exclusive concession can not be issued. Any one able to pay the licenses may sell.
