Fighting It Out
 Between lhesnselves

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Jan. 23- There is considerable talk here over the controversy that has arisen as the result of the disagreement of John Lind and former Ambassa- dor to Mexico Wilson, over the Mexican question. Both have acted as representatives of the United States in Mexico, and it is stated that a misunderstanding of condi- tions there is responsible for the controversy.
 Mr. Wilson has already requested Mr Lind to apologize for his state ment to the effect that he (Mr Wilson, was a participant in the plot to kill former President Ma dero, to the extent of knowing that the crime was going to be commit ted This MT. Lind refuses to do, replying to the request for a dis avowal, that he never accused Will son of knowing of the murder plot

Fourteen Convlcts
 Make Safe Getaway

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan 23.- Information received here today from the posse of men who are trailing the bandits who made their escape from the prison farm at Cummings on Thursday is to the effect that ten of the convicts have been re- captured. This leaves fourteen still at large, the number originally es- caping having been 24,
 Included in the list of those who are still at large is a notorious murderer who, it is believed, would stop at nothing to secure his free dom from prison, on account of the fact that he is serving a life sen tenco Every effort to catch the escaped men is being made, but they have succeeded in getting into the hills and swamps and can, with out difficulty, live on the country.
 A number of the escaped convicts have been seen several times at farmhouses where they called to get food, but the farmers did not know who they were and therefore made no effort to effect their cap ture. They are therefore known to have scattered and are not tray cling in a body, as was at first supposed

 Governor Bethea is quoted as say ing:

 BEING DISCUSSED
National Preparedness Is Topic of Day at Washington Generals Miles and McCombs Air Their Views at Committee Meetng-Garrison Plan Is Endorsed by National Security League.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.- National Preparedness"
 That is the subject which is be- ing discussed most today in this city by people of all classes, situa- tions, stations and nations. It is the talk everywhere, particularly in places where members of con- gress are wont to gather for a Sun day afternoon chat. And it is also the live topic of the day with the local newspapers, all of which are commenting on it, fayorably and otherwise.
 In an official way the subject has been but little discussed. How ever, General Miles made a talk yesterday before the senate commit tee of military affairs, in which he explained to the members of t' ~ committee some of the needs of the United States in a military and naval way.
 During his talk General Miles stated that he is opposed to tEo plan of preparing militia or citizen soldiery only for possible war. He says that the present militia of the country is very weak and ineffi- cient, and that it would take at

FL PASO, Jan 23-A reign of terror, unprecedented in the annals of border history, now exists along the Rio Grande south of this city All of the ranchers are in arms and it is believed that another clash between them and Mexican bandits is imminent And 1t is almost cer- tain that the clash will occur if even one bandit crosses the river into American territory.
 American Killed.
 FL PASO, Jan. 23.-Bert Akers, a prominent American Cattleman, was killed yesterday by bandits few miles from Ysleta, on the MeXi- can side of the line His murderers are believed to be Duran brotncr5, two notorious American cattle thieves and bandits, who have been associated with the bandit forces of hostilities in Mexico in 1908. of hostilties in Mexico in 1908.

 Akers' body arrived here today from Mexico General Cavira, the Carranzaista commandant at Juarez, has issued orders to have all of the houses of Juarez searched for arms, in order that any anti-Ameri- can outbreak may be prevented.

AUSTRIA HAS
 BUTCHERED MANY.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-It is unoffi- cially stated here that during the progress of the war the Austrian government has ordered the execu- tion of no less than thirty-three hundred prisoners taken by it's armies, The larger part of those executed were Slavs, according to the report, the remainder being Italians.
 The population of Austria-Hur. gary is largely composed, in certain parts, of Slavic people and of peo- pie who speak the Italian language by reason oe it's contiguity with both Russia and Italy. Therefore it is supposed that those executed by order of the government were in a large measure men living in those parts of the dual empire who joined either the Russian or Italian armies, making themselves traitors in the eyes of the genuine Austrians.

 NON-COM MBATANTS.

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-By an agree ment entered into today between representatives of the German an 1 French government, all non-combat- ant prisoners are to be exchanged. This means that all prisoners taken by either nation during the war not eligible for further military
 vice, will be exchanged. It is thought that the exchange will be effected during the coming week. The announcement has been greeted with joy by Germans generally, a it will mean the return to tho's firesides, although in a crippled 2 dition, of thousands of men who bore arms fer their country unt, they were wounded and mai-no for life and were captured.

ROOSEVELT ID
 BE CANDIDATE
 OF THE t. ]. ?.
SCOTT C. BONE PREDICTS RE- TURN OF ROOSEVELT
 TO POWER.

SEATTLE Jan 23-In a lengthy article appearing in this mornings issue of the Seattle Post-Intelligen- cer, Scott c. Bone. the editor of the paper, predicts the return of Theodore Roosevelt to power in Re publican politics. The article was written at Chicago, where MT. Bone has been for the past several weeks studying the political situation
 The article states that Roosevelt is the one man most talked of in the Republican ranks as the leader of that party at the next election. He is absolutely certain of the nomi- nation as far as the Progressives are concerned and 1t is practically choice of the standpatters, who are loud in their applause of his mimi table Americanisms.
 It is the almost certainty of his nomination by the Republicans at the Republican national convention which has caused President Wilson to take the stump, according to the article printed here today. The President, of course, continues the story, will also preach his prepared ness plan, but the real reason of his speaking tour is that he desires to forestall Col Roosevelt in any plans the latter may have.
 To Follow Wilson.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-It is unau- thentically stated here that Theodore Roosevelt is planning to follow in the footsteps of President Wilson when the President starts on his speaking tour. It is also asserted here that MT Wilson's stump cam paign was arranged with the ob ject of forestalling a plan of attack already made by Roosevelt.

least six months of hard training to place it in fighting trim. He said however, that the weakness of the militia was not the fault of the men, but of the officers, who have failed to see that the men are properly drilled as the manual pro vides General Miles also told the committee that he was in favor or an increased army.
 General MacCombs followed Gen eral Miles before the committee He coincided with practically ev- erything said by his superior, but minimized the usefulness of militia at any time, characterizing the mi litia of the country as very weak.

 WASHINGTON, D, C., Jan. 23- has been made from the local headquarters of the Ma tional Security league that the league has endorsed Secretary of War Garrlson's preparedness plan.

YUMA, Ariz., Jan. 23.-As a re suit of a sudden rise of water in the Colorado river occasioned by recent rains in the mountains, the flood which visited this portion Of the state of Arizona is unprecedoni- ed in history. The business sec tion of this city is completely flood ed and, although no lives have been lost in the town, as far as is known, the damage, chiefly to merchandise stocks, will be several hundred thou sand dollars.

Shortage of Supplies in Pet rograd and Great Britain Admitted --- Britain For bids Imported LuXuries.

LONDON. Jan. 23.-Oficial Great Britain is anXiously awaiting the morrow, for it is felt that it's com ing either means the end of the great war or prolonged continual ton of the struggle. The reason is that the Greek parliament meets tomorrow at Athens, and it must decide the momentous question of whether CT not Greece is to enter the war on the side of the allies or the Teutonic nations. It is claimed in official circles that the Greek army has never been demobilized as was before stated and that that is the reason for the recent ulti- matum of England and France to Greece.
 She must now either denohilize or take sides. If she demobilizes as per the instructions of the al lies, she will show by that action that she wishes to maintain heI policy of benevolent neutrality to- yard England and France.

GE RMANS CHARGE FOR SUICIDES,

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Because one of the residents of the town took a notion to take his own life and decided that shooting was the easiest way to end all of his troubles, the German government has fined the town of Boisfort Belgium, the sum of $50. The reason given for the fine is that it is unlawful for the Belgians to have arms for any pur- pose. It is stated that the town burgomaster has appealed to his constituents and requested them 10 either hang or drown themselves hereafter when they take a notion 10 snuff out their lamp of life.
