In several instances ho- tels were compelled to use every inch of available space on the first two floors as well as the lobbies and balconies for tables.
 Police were stationed in front of saloons and cafes to guard against infractions of the new liquor law. By sundown most of the liquor dealers had permanently closed their doors.
 Prohibition observers assert that close to half a million dollars has been spent here for liquor in the last three weeks.
 A feature of the advent of prohi- bition is the reported shortage Oi alcohol in the drug stores.

WAR SUMMARY

Austria Hungary has, in the view of official circles in Washington answered favorably the American governments demands concerning the sinking of the steamer Ancona by an Austrian submarine and broken the tension which 1t had been felt might result in the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
 With the approach of the new year there was little fighting on any of the fronts, except that in Russian, extending from the Pripet marshes down through eastern Galicia. The situation here still remains obscure, but Petrograd is expecting great re- suits to hinge on the maneuvers that are taking place.
 In the Adriatic the Austrians have sunk the French submarine Monge.
 Greece is reported to have again protested against the fertilization of Saloniki by the entente powers and against the arrest of the consuls of the central powers and their allies at Saloniki. declaring the latter act a violation of Greece's sovereign rights.

VIENNA, Dec. 31. CVia London)- The following note, dated December 29 in answer to the American govern ment's demand concerning the sinking of the Italian steamer Ancona by an Austrian submarine, has been deliv- cred to Frederick c. Penfield, the American mbass2dOr:
 Tn answer to your very esteemed note Number 4,307 of the 21st instant, the subscriber has the honor to lay the following most respectfully before his excellency, the ambassador of the United States of America, Frederick COurtland Penfield:
 The imperial and royal government agrees thoroughly with the American cabinet that the sacred commandments of humanity must be observed also in war. Just as it has hitherto given at no time and to no person occasion to doubt it's respect for these command ments: in like manner also in the whole course of this war, which pre- sents such pictures of confusion of moral conceptions. has it given num- erous proofs Of humanitarian senti- ments towards enemies as well as to-
  to this government that it was. short time ago not in harmony with the Washington cabinet precisely on a question which it (the Austro-H -Hunga- rian governrnenD in harmony with the entire public opinion in Austria Hun gary, regarded as principally a ques- tion of humanity.
 The imperial and royal government can also substantially concur in the principle expressed in the very es- teemed note. that private ships, inso- far as they do not flee or offer resist ance, may not Le destroyed without the persons aboard being brought into safety.
 "The imperial and royal government is very responsive to the assurance that the federal government lays value upon seeing that the good relations which happily exist between Austria .

It reciprocates this assurance most warmly and is now. as heretofore. concerned to render these relations more heartily so far as lies in it's power.
 Guided by the same spirit of frank ness as the government of the Union, the imperial and royal government. aI- though it does not find in the note frequently referred to the answer to all the legitimate questions submitted by it, is willing to communicate to the fed cral government the result of the in- vcstigation which in accordance with existing departlnentaI regulations was

quired to devote his entire time to that end
 On Thursday a Mexican, carrying union card. and who was employed in Clifton. was escorted out of town by a committee of the striking min CTS after having refused to contrib ute 15 per cent. of his earnings to Il relief of the strikers. Word of this affair coming to the executive committee of the Citiens' Protective league, a meeting was called. When one hundred deputy town marshaFs commissions had been issued today, committee of the new peace officers ! immediately departed in search of the deported Mexican. He was brought back to Clifton and told that he would be given absolute protec- ton.
 It is said that an appeal had pre- viOusly been made to Sheriff Cash for protection for the Mexican, but that that official could not promise the man would be safe if he re- mained in Clifton.
 Negotiations are now going for ward looking to the end of the strike and it is believed that it will be settled within one week. It is said the miners are now willing to give up the Western Federation and that the mine managers have practically agreed that in the event such action is taken, the men will be immedi- ately put to work and in the near future substantial increases granted them. These negotiations are going on by wire with the mine managers. and several members of the Citipens' league are also said to have per sonally interviewed the managers at Fl PasO.
 The Detroit Copper Company as sessment work is being performed without interference. Everything is quiet in the district Thirty United States deputy marshals were discharged today It is expected that fifty more deputy town marshals will be sworn in on Monday. These marshals will act without pay and are pledged to enforce the law re gardless of faction.

SEATTLE, Dec. 31.-Seattle. which, under the new prohibition law will be the largest dry" city in the world outside of Russia, welcomed the new year and bade farewell to alco- holic liquor with much noise and merriment tonight. New Years eve is always time of street carnival, even without the incentive of a goodbye drink and the street crowds would have been enormous.

 All saloons did a large business ex- cept those which had decided to ad- init only old customers to lament the new order of things. It is estimated that in the fifteen days ending to- day a million dollars has been spent in Seattle for liquor wrapped in packages to be carried home for use in hte dry period. Persons who. had believed that on the farewell night liquors would be sold for trifle or given away were disappointed when they learned today that prices of all liquors except beer had advanced sharply owing to their scarcity.

begun immediately after the receipt of the fleet report on the sinking of the Ancona. and which was just recently received.
 The result of this investigation may be summarized as follows: On No Vember :. 1915. at 1l:40 o'clock in the forenoon, the commander of the sub marine observed in latitude 3S:40 north, longitude 1O:OS east, in foggy weather, at a distance roundly 5000 metres and one point to starboard, the outlines of large Italian steamer. He took it at first for transport steamer and turned about and fired from his rear gun a warning shot far from the vessel.
 Simultaneously he displayed the signal leave the ship. The steamer did not stop but rather turned aside and sought to escape The commander at first remained stopped for some minutes in order to increase the dis tance since he feared the steamer had a stern gun and would fire at the sub marine with it.
 When the distance had reached 1, ,50O metres he had the pursuit taken up with full power and fired from his forward gun at a decreasing distance 16 shells, among which he observed three hits.
 During the chase the steamer went zig-zag and stopped cnly after the third hit. Thcreupon the commander ceased firing.
 During the flight the steamer had already, while at full speed, let some boats with persons in them. fall. which immediately capsized. After stopping the steamer began launching boats. From q distance of about 2000 metres the commander saw that six boats were filled and rowed hastily away from the steamer. Another boat was capsized and floated keel mp. The people held onto the hanging lines and to the Capsized boat.
 During the further approach of the submarine the commander saw that a great panic reigned aboard sand that he had to deal with passenger steamer, namely the Ancona, from Genoa. Therefore he gave the occu- pants of the steamer more time than was required to leave the ship in life boats.
 At least ten life boats were still aboard, which would have more than sufficed for the rescue of the persons still aboard. One of these boats. hung full of people, half turned out on davits
 Since, however, except for this. no further move was made to lower boats, the commander decided after a lapse of forty five minutes to torped the
