SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES SEND.
 PEACE NOTES
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-The three Scandinavian nations, Norway Sweden and Denmark, through identical notes, the Norwegian copy of which was handed to the state department today by Minister Bryn. have expressed lively interest in President Wilson's propos- als looking towards the establishment Of durable peace" and their deep est sympathy with all efforts to short en the war
 Unlike the Swiss government which offered to help in any way, mo matter how modest" the Scandinavian coun- tries make no direct offer of coopera- ton. This fact attracted particular in- terest because Norway particularly has been one of the greatest sufferers from the war among the neutrals.
 The state department made public the Norwegian note without comment and in line with the policy of silence adopted by President Wilson and Sec retary Lansing. no other official infor- nation concerning peace moves was forthcoming during the day The text of the note follows:
 "It is with the most lively interest that the Norwegian government has learned of the proposals which the pres ident of the United States has just
  measures looking toward the establish ment of a durable peace while at the sar1e time seeking to avoid any inter ference which could cause pam to le- gitimate feelings
 "The Norwegian government would consider itself failing in it's duties to- ward it's own people and towards all humanity if it did not express its deep est sympathy with all efforts which could contribute to put an end to the ever-increasing suffering and the moral and material losses. It has every hope that the initiative of President Wilson will arrive at a result worthy of the high purpose which inspired it."
 Most of the South American nations it was indicated in diplomatic quarters today, will not send communications

WASHINGTON, w Dec 29-The direc- tors of the American Peace society decided today to call an open meeting of peace workers to be held here Jan uary 20 for the purpose of considering a definite program for international re- organization designed to secure last ing peace as soon as the preesnt war is over.
 Some modification of it is expected to be adopted by those in favor of per manent peace secured by international legislatures, courts and public opinion as opposed to those who are supporting the suggestion of an international force.
 Between these two principles it has been officially stated, the administra- ton has not committed itself. PreSi- dent Wilson has been commonly sup posed to support the program of the League to Enforce Peace. having spok- en at it's meetings here several months ago and having said in some of ms campaign speeches that the moral force, not only. but the physical force" of this country should be used to guar antee peace. Recently however, it has been stated that the president is not definitely committed to that program and is open to suggestion along other lines.
 The program suggested by Dr. Scott calls first for regular stated meetings of The Hague conferences to frame world laws to De referred to the states for ratification, and for permanent committee of the ambassadors resident

CARRANZA ASKS JINT COMMISSION TO GO ON
 WITH CONFERENCES
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-Cont1nua- tion of the conferences of the Mexican American joint commission, without regard to the question of withdrawing American troops from Mexico is pro- posed by General CarranZa in his mes sage refusing to ratify the Atlantic City protocol. Coupled with this Sug- gestion, however. is a new appeal for recall of the Pershing expedition and a declaration that such action by the United States would permit adjust ment of all remaining questions with in a week."
 There were indications tonight that the American members of the com mission might be disposed 10 comply with the request for further confer enCes on the ground that the United States had nothing to lose by doing so. IL was officially stated that nothing vet had occurred to alter the policy of the administration toward Mexico and it is generally understood that so long as northern Mexico is in its present unsettled state Pershing's men will stay where they are.
 A copy of the Carranza communica- ton was sent to President Wilson. Secretary Lane communicated with pr. l. K Mott and Judge George Gray, the other members of the American com mission, and then announced that they would meet here Tuesday to determine whether further conferences shall be held.
 Carranza points out in his reply that there was nothing in the correspon- dence that led to the creation of the commission nor in the credentials and instructions delivered to it's members that would preclude consideration of the many other subjects which the commission made incidental to those agreed upon in the protocol In effect he suggests that the protocol be laid aside for the present and the work of the commission be directed along fresh channels
 Although the conditions imposed for withdrawal of the troops were not to his liking, he attempted to make it clear that his chief objection to rarify- ing the document was not based upon the conditions, but on the fact that he could not conscientiOusly sign anything which would place him in the position of having appeared to sanction even for a brief time the presence in Mexico of foreign troops.

TRepubiican A. p. Leased WIre1

FL PASO, Dec. 29.-Villa troops, all though expected to attack, took Tor reon by surprise through a ruse on December 21, according to details reaching the border tonight By false dispatches to the railway office in Tor reon, the rebels are said to have made the Carranza garrison believe a train entering the city bore achievements from General Murguia. But instead, it carried Villa troops who quietly dis embarked then rushed the town, while the garrison retired
 An American in Fl PaSO learned through a letter that General Luis Herrera, commanding the Torreon gar rison, had information that Villa attack was likely and had given orders to his troops to retire But. not sus pecting an attack at that time he was having a sociable drink in a cafe with several members of his staff when the place was rushed by a squad of rebels. General Herrera and his companions were killed in the fray.
 It was by means of false messages to the railway office that Villa and his army, disguised as a train of coal, entered and captured Juarez in November 1913

RESPONSIBILITY FUR NEXT STEP

[Republican A. p. Leased WireJ


 NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Special cir culars putting up to the 400, 900 mem bers responsibility for the next step to be taken by the railroad brother hoods in their controversy with the railroads over the application and in depreciation of the Adamson act, were sent broadcast by telegraph after a conference of the four brotherhood chiefs here today.
 Announcement of the action taken was made by William G. Lee. presi dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, prior to his departure for the west. He was accompanied by the other brotherhood whose confer ence with the railway managers yes terday resulted in a disagreement.
 Earlier in the day the four chiefs issued a somewhat crytic statement over their signatures declaring that the attitude of the railroads threat ened to wipe out the benefits that should accrue to the men from the passage of the Adamson act and as- sorting that for that reason the entire situation is to be placed before the membership"
 The chiefs refused to say whether the action was yelled threat of am other strike vote such as brought about the eight hour day legislation
 The statement follows:
 While meeting with President Will son last August. at his insistence, our committee waived their request for time and n half for overtime. which was fully 50 per cent of their original demand, and at the suggestion of the president accepted his proposition, which was:
 Concession of the eight hour day.
 'Postponment of the other demand. as to the payment for overtime. and the counter suggestion of the railway managers, until experience actually discloses the consequences of the eight-hour day.
 In the meantime, the constitution by authority of congress of commits sion or body of men, appointed by the president. to observe, investigate and report upon these concessions without recommendation.
 Then such action upon the facts as the parties of the present contro- versy may think best
 Our men believed, in so doing, they would secure the eight hour basic day at once, but the enactment of the Adamson eight-hour law, effective January 1, 1917, made it necessary for l them to wait patiently until that time to find later that the railroad com | panies instituted injunction proceed | ings against the governments en- forcement of the eight hour law, and at this time the entire matter is in litigation, such litigation making il impossible for the specal committee appointed by the president, as pro- vided for in the law, to proceed with their investigation January 1, and the | probability of additional litigation be- fCOntinued on Pape Two,

When two years ago the court house plaza was filled with thousands called out by the temperance meetings in the first statewide prohibition campaign. the most sanguine workers could not have foreseen such a continuation or their efforts as was witnessed on the same spot yesterday. One of the city sprinklers was backed up to the east approach of the sheriff-s office and in the presence of more than 2,000 per sons was filled with the accumula- tion of the raids by the sheriffs office on booileggers during the last two years When the sprinkler was filled it's contents consisted besides 200 gallons of water that had bees put in to modify the effect of the booze. 19e gallons of whisky, PIP gallons of beer and eight gallons of wine
