To the Editor:
Nov last brought disastrous news to
the brewers and saloon-keepers OF the
States of Montana. South Dakota, Mich
igan and Nebraska when these common-
wealths decided in favor OF statewide
prohibition. The addition Of these four
states to those already under the so
called dry edict make a total of TWEEN
ty-three states, and 1t is believed that
when the new governors OF Florida and
Utah are inaugurated, measures will be
adopted to bring these two states into
the dry" column.
1t was believed by students who are
watching the prohibition movement that
IL would react, but such does not appear
TO be the case. That a reaction will
surely set in some time is quite possible

$4,000 TROOPS FALL
IN BESSARABlAN BATTLES
Russians and Austrians Engage in Ter
rifle Fights-Huge Losse on
Both Sides.

London, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company from
Saloniki says that a f1otilla of French
aeroplanes has dropped bombs on
Sofia, causing considerable damage
and an indescribable panic among
the inhabitants of the Bulgarian cap
ital.
The struggles for possession of
Czartorysk and Czernowitz are con-
tlnuing with undated ferocity over
the Russian Christmas holidays. The
efforts of the Germans to outflank the
Russians at Bayan, on the frontier
east of CzernowitZ, and thus relieve
the pressure on the latter place has
been checkmated by the Russians,
according to reports from the front.
Fierce fighting occurred in the
streets of Czartorysk on the several
occasions when the town has changed
hands.
ton says that the calm on the Czerno-
WITT front is due to the huge losses
and resulting decentralization of the
Austro-Hungarian army. That there
is some basis for this statement is
evident from the estimate of the Hun
garian newspaper, Poster Lloyd, that
the losses on both sides of the Bessa-
rabian battles so far exceed $4,000,
or more than the total British losses
in the whole Dardanelles campaign.
Another Hungarian newspaper
states, on the authority of staff re-
port, that the fighting on this front
has been the bitterest and bloodiest
in the history of the war. both sides

on Second Reading.
COUNTRY BACKS GOVERNMENT
Federation of Miners, the Strongest

Vote on Question of Strike

London, Jan. 14.-Following the
Irish party's promise of support, mill
tary CONSUMPTION for England was as
sured beyond the shadow of a doubt
when the governments compulsory
service bill passed it's second reading
in the house of commons by 431 to 80.
The first reading, at which the Irish
opposed the bill, resulted in a vote of
403 to 105.
Previous to the vote Premier AS
quith declared in the house that I'M
less the compulsory military bill was
passed Great Britain could not do it's
part in the fulfillment of it's obliga-
tons to it's allies.
The overwhelming majority in fa-
vor of the bill shows the country alb
solutely behind the governments pol

sage of the bill despite any opposition
by labor organizations. That such op-
position will be met, both in politi-

was indicated by union leaders.

OFFER TO RETURN TO G. o. p.
Progressive National Committee Ready
to Eliminate Roosevelt.

Progressive National Committee Ready
to Eliminate Roosevelt.
Chicago, Jan. 13.-As a political
entity the Progressive party will have
no existence in the national campaign
of 1916 if the Republicans grasp the
olive branch which was proffered to
them by George w. Perkins and other
Bull Moose leaders in the meeting of
the Progressive national committee in
Chicago held on Tuesday.
That the Progressives in their peace
advances are willing to forego pres
idential nomination for Theodore
Roosevelt, if amalgamation and har-
mony can be brought about thereby,
was revealed In the following state
ment by Mr. Perkins, made at the end
of the committees session:
1--WE are all hopeful that both par
ties will agree upon somebody, and 1t
need not necessarily be Mr.. Roose-
velt"
This remark was made after Colonel
Roosevelt had sent message to the
Moosers in which he asked them to
subordinate party to country.
Immediately after the message nad
been read the committee decided upon
the time for holding national conven-
ton.
Mr.. Perkins defined what he regards
as the issues in the coming cam
paign and the relation which the Pro-
gressive following holds to them.
He reiterated the party declarations
of 1912 and then proclaimed the
proposition of national military and
naval preparedness as the prime issue
of the campaign this year.

Thomas M. Holmes Escapes After
Massacre of Passengers on Train
in Chihuahua-Gen. Rodriguez
at Head of Outlaws.

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 13.-Seventeen
Americans, returning to their mining
camp in Chihuahua, were taken from
a train so miles west of Chihuahua
City by bandits, supposedly led by Gen.
Jose Rodriguez, stood naked along the
track, and only one, Thomas M.
Holmes, escaped to send a message
telling of the fate of the others.
Advices on Tuesday to H. c. Nlyles,
British consular agent here, stated
definitely that II men were killed.
Earlier advices had been received
from British Consul Scovill, at Chihua-
hua City, saying II persons, all
thought to be Americans, had been
killed
The men were employees OF the
Cusihuirochic Mining company, trav'
cling under promised military protec-
ton of the de facto Mexican govern
ment with a trainload of supplies and
thousands of dollars in currency. The
train was looted.

The rail occurred so miles west of
Chihuahua City on Monday, where,
presumably. there were thousands of
troops of the Carranza government in
addition to hordes of unkempt, lately
surrendered Villa forces.
Mining men here pieced together
the scant outline contained in Holmes
cryptic telegram. According to this
information the train was stopped at
Kilometer 68.
The American men were compelled
to descend and lined up along the
cars. Holmes was at the extreme left
end A firing squad took position
opposite, and as they raised their
rifles Holmes started a race for his
life toward Chihuahua City. He could
hear shooting and bullets swishing
past, and ran until out of sound of the
firing. Monday night he reached Chi
huahua City. He sent message to
the mining company requesting that
Mrs. Holmes be advised that he was
at the capital and safe.
