MEN
LEAVE IN AUTOS
FOR PANKEY'S TO
SEARCH FOR BODY
OF CLYDE ARMOUR
Every Foot of Ground
To Be Covered By
Searchers
LIGHT ON
E. w. BLANCETT

Fifty-eight Santa Feans formed the
party of searchers that left here at !
o'clock for the Pankey ranch in the
hope of finding the body of Clyde Ar
mour. The party was composed O.
natives and others, who were giver
seats in automobiles provided by
Prof. W. o. Conner, Jr.. S. Spitz CHIEF
Justice r. Fl. Hanna, Thomas Closson
and the Overland Garage, which sent
three cars.
The cars went direct to the first
gate of the Pankey ranch beyond the
Arroyo Hondo, which is supposed to
be the place where Clyde Armour was
last seen alive by Jack Stewart, of Las
Vegas, who was motoring to the city
October 20 to attend a wedding the
following day. The men then struck
out to the right and will work quite a
distance systematically.
The owners of the motor cars re-
turned about noon to the city and said
they will go back to the Pankey ranch
at 5 o'clock this evening to pick up
the searchers.
Some of the motorists expressed
the fear that the body of Armour is
down one of the many mining shafts
on the land grant adjoining the Pan
key ranch. If this is the case, it may
be extremely difficult to find a trace
OF Armour, as the shafts are 100 to ITO
feet deep.
Is This Sack a Clue?
A Santa Fean who was out search
ing for the body on the Pankey ranch
reported that he had found a sack
which showed blood stains. Whether
1t has anything to do with Armour's
murder remains to be ascertained.

NT COLOR TO STORY
PROPOSAL WAS IN GERMAN INTEREST
(By Leased Wire to New Mexican)

WASHINGTON, D. G, Jan. 3-Action on Senator Hitch
cocks resolution to have the senate endorse President VIII
sons peace note was again deferred today after a long
debate. f
The resolution went over for discussion again tomorrow
at the request of Senator Hitchcock, its author, after a spirited
debate in which Senators Lodge and Borah, Republicans, OPP,
posed action at this time.
The debate was marked by an attack by Senator Lodge
upon Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, because
of the latter's action in issuing a newspaper statement APP.
proving the note. That action, Senator Lodge said, added to
the misunderstanding about its purpose and added to the opin-
ion that it was timed and intended to aid Germany in making
the peace terms she seeks.
Senator Lodge expressly said, however, that he accepted
in full faith the declaration of the president in the note that it
was in no way associated with the peace proposals of the cen
trail powers.

allies replies are on the way and
what al the senate do to accelerate
the matter by passing this resolu-
tion?"
Senator Hitchcock replied that Rus
.sia's first response to President
Roosevelt's overtures were adverse
and the president then made a person
al appeal to the car. I'VE cannot ex-
pect the warning nations to rush into
this opening" Senator Hitchcock de-
clared. "We have got to expect a
slow start toward peace"
These answers have not all been
completed" resumed Senator Smith.
None of these are final. The whole
subject is still left open. II it is really
desirable and really proper for this
nation to express a wish for peace, it
is certainly proper for the senate to
do So"
IF the war continues our rights al
neutrals will continue to be disre-
garded. Bitter as they are we cannot
expect nor hope for the belligerents
to regard the rights Of neutrals in ac-
cordance with international law. l
think we have done right to protest,
but SO far nothing has occurred for
which I would be willing that the Uni.
ted States should enter the war. |
think that the neutral nations Of the
world ought to say to the belligerents:
Your awful slaughter has gone far
enough. Your disregard of u rights
has gone far enough. We beg you to
stop and state your causes Of griev-
ances against m another and the
terms upon which you will be willing
to end the war"

NEBRASKA SENATOR STRONGLY
URGES RESOLUTION

| On0GS wi
Washington. Jan. {. - Senator
! Hitchcock's resolution to have the
senate endorse President Wilson's
peace note came up again in the sen
ate today and the Nebraska senator
urged its adoption.
"In framing this resolution" he
said, II have carefully avoided refer
ence to these portions Of the presi-
dents note which might provoke con
troversy.
II realize there may be two opin-
ions as to some of the presidents sug-
gestions, but l do not see how there
can be two opinions on a simple prop
osition that in the interest of human
ity and civilization this country has
appealed to nations at war to state
terms upon which peace might be
made"
Senator Hitchcock said there was
recent precedent for the presidents
action and referred to former Presi-
dent Roosevelt's overtures to end the
Russo-Japanese war.
'If it was important for humanity
and civilization that Russia and
Japan state their TERMS" said Senator
Hitchcock, how much more import
ant for humanity and civilization to
seek the end Of the present war. How
much greater, at the present time,
when all civilization is in danger and
when the existence of neutral nations
is becoming difficult and almost Inn
possible!
"The senate is charged with great
responsibility. 1t is the one great
Legislative body in the world charged
with the right to speak IN interna-
tional affairs with the president. /
sincerely hope the resolution will
have the support of this great body"
Senator Hoke Smith, Democrat,
also urged immediate consideration Of
the amendment.
1T only approves and strongly en-
dorses the presidents action in send
ing the note asking that terms be
stated by the belligerents," he said.
There al be no step toward peace
without such a statement from either
side. The doors seemed a little ajar
looking toward peace ana the presi-
dent sought to prevent that door from
swinging hard and fast. Neutral ma
tions have the right to express them
"Our rights have been disregarded.

neither would it change it."
1T would be an expression by the
senate OF the United STATES Of an
earnest desire that negotiations for
peace continue and that peace be
brought about" replied Senator
Failure to pass the resolu-
ton would seem to me to indicate a
lack Of interest"
"The presidents note," Senator
Borah rejoined, distinctly stated that
It Is no proposal Of peace or an offer
of mediation but simply asks for
terms. Answers are on the way. An
answer already has been made by
Germany and every one has his own
Idea about what that means. The

LODGE VIGOROUSLY
ATTACKS Won BERNSTORFF

Washington, Jan. 3.-During the
senate debate today on the resolution
to endorse President Wilson's peace
note, Senator Lodge attacked German
Ambassador Count Won Bernstorff for
giving out a newspaper statement ap
proving the note.
1T is hardly to be wondered at,
with such a statement as that from
the German ambassador" said Sena-
tor Lodge, that there should be gen.
eral misinterpretation of the note, a
general belief that it was designed
and timed SO as to help Germany in
attaing a peace upon the terms she
desires to impose.
Il do not think the importance of
this resolution a be exaggerated"
said Senator Lodge.
ut projects congress into the field
of foreign negotiations, which,, under
Jul form of government, is reserved
to the executive. More than it, 1t also
projects congress into the field of Eu-
ropean politics and involves 1t in the
affairs Of Europe.
This resolution is now a general
resolution in regard to peace. 1t com
mits the senate to most absolute ap.
proval and endorsement of the note of
the president. 1t also commits us to
demand from the nations engaged in
war a statement of terms upon which
they will make peace.
"As the war stands today we have
no national or legal connection with
those terms. It is beyond u national
interest. such interests as we may
now have are in the interest OF senti-
ment or humanity"
Presidents Of mediation overtures
received by the United States during
the Civil war were cited at length by
Senator Lodge in the debate. He read

THE WAR TODAY

REPORTS from both sides in the
struggle in Rumania indicate that
the Rumanians have now vir-
tually reached the line of the Sc
reth to which they have been
falling back while fighting strong
rear guard actions.
BERLIN today announces that
troops Of the ninth army under
Field Marshal Won M~ackensen
are now before F%okshani, which
is on the fortified line which the
Russians have been preparing,
and which follows In a general
way the course Of the Sereth.
Ending at the Danube between
Brailia end GaIata, this line ex-
tends northwestward through
Moldavia in the direction Of the
western Moldavian frontier.
1T IS HERE, according to present
Indications, that the Russians
count upon bringing Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen's advance to
a halt. Failing In this purpose,
It has been pointed out, they
would expose their front from
Galicla, southwark to a possible
c%rumbiing up process through a
turning movement and imperil
the Bessarian territory to POSI-
tions north of the Danube, across
the line Of the Pruth.
APPARENTLY the Teutonic effort
to break this line Is to be a
strong one as today's Berlin
statement records smashing at
tacks upon the Russian lines at
several points In which prisoners
were taken and ground gained.
Meanwhile the drive at the right
flank Of the Russians In this re-
glon along the western Moldav-
Ian frontier Is continuing un-
abated and further progress In
the Transverse Valleys, notably
In the Suchetza and Putna re-
pions, Is announced.
ON THE DANUBE end Of the line,
the security Of BraIla has been
further ~imperiIIed, according to
the Berlin report, by a new ad-
vance of the Teutonlc forces on
the Dobrudja side Of the river,
where the Russians have been
driven back further into the
northwestern corner Of the prov
lnce opposite BraIIa.

CLAIMED TO BE CHAUFFEUR
FOR GOV McnONAI

IOh NV mSCOiNHL
Was 3. w. Blaneett, aged 23, nov
held in Friday Harbor, Washington
on a charge of murder and grand lar
ceny, mixed up in some other affairs
that should be brought to light? Die
he serve al chauffeur and companion
for any other people now sailing fol
the Port of Missing Men? Did he sci
any other cars besides an Oldsmobile
on Overland, for instance?
These are some of the questions
asked today by the followers of the
Clyde Armour mystery when it be
came known that State Treasurer H,
L. Hall, of Chama, expressed the opin-
ion that he had see a young man OF
Blancett's description in Aztec about
the middle of September.
When shown a picture of Blancett
today Mr.. Hall said: Il can not posi-
lively identify this picture as that of
tho young man who had an Overland
car in Aztec about September IL and
who asked me and other Democratic
candidates for money, but | think it is
he. Senator Jones, Mr.. Patton, Billy
Walton, Secretary Lucero, G. A. Dav-
isson, Felix Garcia and j. L. G. Swim
ney were up in Aztec making a cam
paign. | remember very we'll meeting
a young man there, who said he was
broke and wanted some money so as
to help him get to Denver. | did not
like his face nor his manner and II
thought it strange that a man with an
automobile in his possession could be
carnnd ~ ar1r fOt. woman nt1Ixy UTo1fp,.
would probably remember this man If
he saw him again. Mr.. Walton gave
him a coin to help him out and several
others did the same"
A Governors Chauffeur?
The young man sized UP the visitors
he met as Democratic politicians and
at once told them that he formerly
was a chauffeur for Governor McDon-
aid. 81 did not believe him. said Mr..
Hall, "and | suspected that he had an
Overland car in his possession which
belonged to some n else. !, said as
much to some of my friends. The
very next morning this young mar
and his car disappeared"
Mr.. Swinney Knew Him
Former County School Superintend.
ent J. L. G. Swinney, of Aztec, San
Juan county, knew e. w. Blancett.
HE was up in Aztec about a year ago
and has relatives all around there.
His relatives are well thought Of" said
Mr.. Swinney, "but Blancett is not. He
came out of, high school which he at
tended in Friday Harbor, after his
mother moved to that place, following
her marriage and returned to San Juan
county. Then he took to drinking and
his reputation was not good. 1t seems
quite likely to me that Blancett, IL he
was in Aztec in September of this
year, would have asked strangers for
money in order to go to Denver as /
dare say his own relatives would have
refused him II he had asked money
from them"

state that there is belief that next
