Closed In Idaho

BOISE, Id., Dec. 31.-One hundred end fifty saloons closed their doors in Idaho at the opening of the New Year when the most drastic prohibition law enacted by any state. became effective. Some of the bars closed early in the evening but many remained open until midnight when what little liquor they had left was poured into the sewer. There were no arrests and little hilar- ity. Most of the liquor in both whole sale and retail houses and saloons was bought up locally several days ago. although the law makes possession a felony.

DANGER OF
 RUPTURE PASSED
Subscribes to Principle No Ships Be Sunk Until They Offer Resistance or Flee, Without Passengers Be ing Safe
rRepubIIcan A. p. leased wIrel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Austria' s reply to the Ancona note not only meets the cardinal points of the American demands, but gives assur- ances for the future which are con- sidered more satisfactory in their ex- tent than those which were given by Germany.
 The full American official view will not be known until after President Wilson has studied the Austrian re- ply, which was received today from Ambassador Penfield and was imme diately dispatched to Hot Springs, by a White House messenger.
 It may be stated authoritatively nevertheless, that danger of a rupture of diplomatice relations has passed and that the controversy now enters the same stage as the Lusitania ne gotiations with Germany, on even a more favorable basis.
 Austria in the Ancona case has sub- scribed to the principle that no ships would be sunk until they offer resist aDce or flee, without the persons aboard being brought to safety. This is considered an assurance that is far reaching and satisfactory.
 Germany only promised not to at tack liners until the persons aboard had been placed in boats The extent of the designation liners" never has been cleared up and the American government does not concede that placing persons in boats necessarily assures their safety
 Points which Austria leaves for fur ther diplomatic correspondence are not considered of nature to bring on a new crisis. Chief among them are questions of fact which affect Aus tria's responsibility for what happened before the submarine commander tor pedoed the Ahcona, and their import ance is minimized by the promise to pay indemnity for Americans lost re- gardless of the absence of proof as tu just how they met their death
 The mere statement that the sub- marine commander has been punished for not making allowance for the panic on the ship undoubtedly will be ac- cepted without question and without further inquiry as to it's nature
 One of the features of the case which has attracted wide attention in official and diplomatic quarters is the apparent similarity of the proceedings in the AncOna case with those in the Lusitania controversy. In both cases observers noted that the foreign of flee view finally prevailed over those of the admiralty which in each case was hostile to the contentious of the United States.
 The sinking of the Japanese liner Yasaka Maru and the French liner Vile De La CiOtat after the seconu American note was received in Vienna are accounted for here on the theory that the Austrian admiralty, holding out for it's submarine policy, had not then issued new instructions to the submarine commanders.

TACOMA. Wash, Dec. 31.-A lively fall of snow, making the streets slip pery for automobiles and chilly for pedestrians put something of a dam per on the early New Years eve crowds tonight, but all available space was reserved in hotels and cafes for the midnight hour when the old year and the privilege of buying intoxicating drinks passed out together. The retail houses and many saloons found themselves insufficient ly stocked to meet the final demand for liquors and a number of these closed long before the final hour un- der the law.

WATCH PARTIES
 ARE NUMEROUS
Churches, Lodges and Thea ters Combine to Furnish Means for Seeing Old Year Out and Giving Vel come to the Newcomer

The year 1916 received a noisy and happy welcome last night in the city
 of Phoenix.
 Despite the fact that the entry of the new year was accompanied by
 the usual din and celebration. it was
 noted that last years festivities were
 strikingly dssimilar to the ovation with which the convivial residents of certain sections of the city greeted
 the incoming of 1915, just one year ago last night. It was one year ago that Arizona's saloons passed into oblivion. and it is remembered that the celebration on the last night of the old year was one of such magni- tude as to render it difficult to excel in point of noisy demonstration. However
 Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen re- ceived a royal welcome herre last night Many were the watch parties
 and other social gatherings which had been planned for the purpose of watching the dying cycle of time gently and graciously eliminate it. self into the realm of things forgot ten. and as gently and graciously give way to it's youthful successor a successor which. by the way, holds out the promise of being one of the
 
 which this section of the country has ever experienced. And many were the toasts quaffed to 1916, tOasts which carried with them the hopes ! that all of the grim elements which 1 have been manifest in the makeup ! of the year. just passed would be lcOnspicuously absent in the days to come and that all of the bright spots of the old year would be re- tained and magnified to such an eX tent that all hearts might univer- sally have cause for rejoicing during the coming twelvemonth.
 i Many are those who have been made happy by the thoughts that the devastating war which for years past has been blighting the fair land to the south, the country at the very door of Arizona, had been terminated and that. consequently the resum ing of normal business relations be- tween this state and the country that | has long been war ridden cannot but ! have the effect of bringing about a season of unprecedented prosperity I for Arizona and her neighboring states.
 | Everywhere. apparently. last night ! joyous crowds gave over the evening ! to a period of merry making. In countless homes. churches. theaters. and lodge rooms were held ceremo-
 nies and celebrations indicating that ! the participants not only had for gotten any dark sides which the dy- ! ing year may have held for them. | but that they were ready to greet the new conner with a smile and a song in hopes that it would mean the dawning of an era of prosperity and happiness.

A Canine PanhandIer.

A subscriber tells this dog story: In an oil town in Texas he went into a store and was at once approached by a large pointer dog, which paved his right leg in a wistfuI manner. The storekeeper said, "Give the dog a nickel" The animal, with the nickel in his mouth, rushed through the door and across the street to a ''hambur- ger'' stand, dropped the money on the counter and received big red sausage, which he gulped down with great rel ish. The dog, it seems, got dozen or more sausages in this way every day. He always, it was said, made up'' to well dressed strangers for his nickel sometimes, with genuine regard for the pockets of his home folks" refus- ing to take the proffered coin from na- tives who wore the oil driller's garb.- Outlook

Chest Measurements.

Put a tape measure round your chest and note the measurement. Puff your chest out by taking a deep breath and note the number of inches that you, in crease. One inch of expansion would be very feeble; two is rather poor. We all ought to put on three inches, and -four is good. It is right and proper that the lungs IGhouId be well expand ed at each breath. The air penetrates mord easily into some parts of the lungs. The apex, at the base of the neck, just behind the collar bone, is rather a, sluggish part of the incoming air current. That is considered to be one of the reasons why the apex is the commonest site for consumption. All children should be taught breathing exercises. The ribs are soft in child hood and youth and can be molded into shape. When once growth has stopped the ribs are in their position and shaped for life. Therefore take pains to cultivate good chest that expands several inches.

Monster JeIIyfsh.

An interesting feature of the bay of Naples is the great quantity of large jellyfish found therein. It is not un- usual to find them fully two feet in diameter and weighing up to sixty pounds. Some of them shine at night with a greenish light and are known as noctiluca (night lanterns) by the na- tives. The jellyfish sometimes make migrations in great groups, sometimes so large and so thick as to impede the navigation of vessels, like the floating plants in the Sargasso sea of the trop- ics. These shoals of medusae, as they are called, may at times be so dense that a piece of timber plunged in among them will be held upright as if stuck in the mud. and ordinary row boats cannot force their way through them. Their migrations have never been explained.

The Three Lendons.

Roman London lies buried about eighteen feet below the level of Cheap side In nearly all parts of the city there have been discovered tessellated pavements. Roman ,ombs, lamps, vases, sandals, keys, ornaments, weGp- ons, coins and statues of the Rcman gods.
 When a little over a century ago deep sections were made for the sewers in Lombard street the lowest stratum was found to consist of tessel- lated pavements. Many coIored dice were found lying scattered about, and above this stratum was a thick layer of wood ashes, suggesting the debris of charred wooden buildings.
 While building the exchange work men came upon a gravel pit full of oyster shells, bones of cattle, old san dals and shattered pottery. Two pave ments were dug up under the French church in Threadneedle street, and oth- CT pavements have been cut through in several parts of the city. The soil seems to have risen over Roman Lon don at the rate of nearly a foot a cen tury. Still further must the searcher dig to find the third London, the earlier LoDdon of the Britons.-London Chron- icIe

Moorish America,

What kind of people do live in South America? The Spanish, the Portu- guese, but chiefly the descendants of these European races who have inter married with the Indians. Other na- tions have made lesser contributions. Brazil, which is only a few days by steamer from West Africa, is one-th1rd negro, the crudest type of negro on the American hemisphere. There is strong mark of the Moor upon the Spaniard The Arabic Moor wrought his customs very deeply into the life of Spain. The people of Mexico and Cuba might be called Moorish Ameri- cans rather than Latin Americans. The customs, manners and heart expe- riences in these people of Latin Amer ica are more Moorish than Christian, more MosIem, more Arabic than Span ish-World Outlook.
