Maria Tex, Dec. 27.--After pursu
ing bandits who raided the Brite ranch
and store Christmas morning, for dis
tance of ten miles into the mountains
Of Mexico, the American cavalry
troops recrossed the Rio Grande to
American territory at noon toay and
made complete report TO Col. George
7. LanFhorne of the expedition across
the border.
The American cavalrymen killed
ten members of the bandit band,
wounded twice as many more and
scattered the remaining bandits in the
mountains south of the line. They
brought back twenty-five horses which
had been so hard ridden they had to be
abandoned at the river when they
were ridden into quicksand by the
bandits. The total number of BAN
dts now known to have been killed
by cavalry troops is eleven, although
1t is believed that more than twenty
were killed by the cavalry rifle fire
and the bodies buried along the trail
to Mexico. Three Americans, all civil
ians, were killed in the raid, one SOL
dier and one civilian wounded. The
civilian was r. T. Neill who was shot
in the face while defending his fam
lily from the bandits. The soldier was
Private John Kelly, who was shot in
the calf of the leg during the running
fight in Mexico between the cavalry
and, bandits. Two pack train mules
with the column that crossed were
killed.

MAKING SEPARATE PEACE

London, Dec. 27.-Reuter's Amster-
dam correspondent says that Count
Czernin in concluding his address,
dealing with economic questions, said:
I'VE are ready to enter into nego-
tiations with all our enemies. but in
order to avoid unnecessary loss Of
time, the allies (Teutonic) are ready
to enter into the consideration Of
those specific points the examination
Of which seems in any case necessary
for both the Russian government and
the allies (Teutonic)."

Terms under which the Teutonic al
lies would be willing to make ian i'm
mediate and general peace" have
been made known to the Russian del
egates engaged in the peace pour par
lers at Brest-Litovsk. The terms have
been set forth in an address by Count
Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign
minister.
AS in previous Teutonic allied init
nations, that all required from the
Germanic viewpoint to bring about a
cessation of hostilties and eventual
peace, the latest terms are hedged
about by conditions which seemingly
are insuperable from the standpoint
of the United States and the entente
allies.
Notable Omissions.
The basic principles of the peace
terms of the Russian revolutionary
masses-no annexations and no in
demnities-Count Czcrnin said he be-
lieved could be made the basis of a
general peace, but that the Teutonic
allies could not bind themselves to
these conditions unless a guarantee
were given that Russia's allies would
recognize and fulfill them.
Notable In the omissions in the
statement of Count Czernin connected
with the concrete demands of the
United States, Great Britain and
France as already made known, are
the questions particularly of the re-
J,,,sI xNe Dp1.r
return Of Alsace and Lorraine to
France and the overthrow of the mill
taristic government in Germany and
the formation in its place of u govern
ment that can be believcd-the latter
demand as set forth by President Will
son in his address to congress calling
for war with Austria Hungary.
Russians Ask Recess.
Pending the placing of Count Ger
nfn's proposals before Russia's allies,
the Russian delegates to the peace
conference have asked for a ten
days recess in the negotiations at
Brest-Litovsk.
Within the Russian empire fighting
between the revolutionary elements
continues at several points, while the
Bolsheviki troops at Harbin. Man
churia,' have been defeated in battle
by the Chinese, who captured the gar
rison. Apparently distrustful of the
Rumanians. Ukranian forces, who are
opposed to the Bolsheviki, have occu-
pied several Rumanian divisional
headquarters on the battle front. dis
arming those of the Rumanians who
offered resistance.
Disorders in Germany.
As an indication that things in
Germany are not going in accordance
with the German governments desires
is the report that more than 800 men,
bers of the German minority socialist
party were arrested in numerous cit

the socialists long has desired peace
and refused to acquiesce in the gov

 HIMSELF BY HUNGER;
 NO EVIDENCE OF HELP

JUNEAU, Monday April 16.-Edward krause, who escaped from the federal jail here last week was shot and instantly killed yesterday afternoon on Admiralty island by Albert Grandson, a rancher living on the island
 Krause was alone and had just landed from small ski AS he rotted up the beach toward the ranchers home Grandson called him to halt at the same time ask ing him if his name was Krause. The latter answered III the affirmative and Grandson fired one shot at Krause, the bullet entering the eye and passing through the bra causing instant death
 The body was brought here this morning and the ln" quest proceedings will be held this afternoon.
 Krause was nearly famshed and evidently was seek ing food at the time he was shot.
 He was unarmed with the exception of silver case knife the edge of which had been hacked with razor and it believed here this is the instrument used in saving the bars of his cell instead of hack saw, as was first reported
 The skiff in which Krause escaped was not large enough for two persons and is believed he was alone at all times since leaving the vicinity of the jail
 A cabegram was received by the local marshals of- flee this morning from Marshal Tanner of Juneau giving detailed description of KrauSe and stating that there was S OO0 reward for him dead alive This message was followed few hours later however, with the in- formation that Krause had been killed on Admiralty island

Last week there were 592 men on the pay roll of this division, of whom 260 were sta ton contractors, 40 contractors la borers, 8S employed on grading work, 36 on bridges, 3S in stores and dock, 2l in the machine shops, 21 in the en- gineering department, l2 in the gen eral offices, Is in the transportation department, and the balance of the number in various and miscellaneous occupations,
 Besides the commission payroll we have the private construction and building which is now under way, and contemplated, and the fishing in- dustry, which promises to be always with us.
 We also have the radio station which will undoubtedly begin to take ma terial form very soon, and good pros poets for activity by other depart ments of the government in this vii cinity this year. Taking all things in to consideration we have every reason to be cheerful, as we have a little town with a great future to boost for
