u. S. UNDER WAR DRAFT LAW
Every Able Bodied American Liable to
Call Into the National Guard
New Order Made Public.

Washington, Dec 30.-Every able
bodied male citizen of the United
States between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five years is held liable for
service in the National Guard in war
time, without further act of congress,
by war department regulations for the
government of the guard issued under
the national defense act.
In an order PREF AIRED nearly two
months ago, but ma lie public only on
Thursday, the militia bureau directs
that where National Guard regiment
is called out for war service reserve
training battalion to fill vacancies at
the front shall be organized out of the
National Guard reserve and by volun-
tary enlistment.
''If for any reason" the order con-
tinues, ''there shall not be enough re-
servists or enough voluntary enlist
ments to organize or to keep the re-
serve battalions at prescribed strength,
a sufficient number of the unorganized
militia shall be drafted by the presi-
dent to maintain such battalion or
lesser unit at the prescribed strength"
The langue follows closely that
of the national defense act, in which
the unorganized militia is defined as
including every able-bodied male citi-
zen within the prescribed age limit or
those who have declared their inten-
ton of becoming citizens.

SAY ENVOY RECALLED
MEXICAN AMBASSADOR TO U. S.
ORDERED HOME, is REPORT.
Officials Fear Break In Relations With
Chief Carranza's de Facto
Government.

Washington, Dec. 29.-General Car
rama, first chief of the Mexican de
facto government, has ordered Eliseo
Arredohdo, Mexican ambassador desig-
nate, to withdraw from the United
States without delay.
This move, which has the aspect of
a rupture of such diplomatic relations
as exist between the Mexican de facto
government and the United States, Gre
ated CONSERVATION among administra-
ton officials, who confessed they are
myStified by the unheralded action.
Arredondo informed his associates of
the order recalling him from Washing
ton and said that he would leave cards
at the state department in accordance
with diplomatic usage and depart for
Mexico City.
Carranza's move increases the alarm
of advisers of the president. They fear
that Carranza, after all the surrender
ing to his demands by the president,
intends to rebuff the administration in
some spectacular manner.
peal for modification of the protocol
providing for the withdrawal of Amer
lean troops from Mexico is made by
General CarranZa in a message deliv-
cred to Secretary Lane by Luis Cab
rera.
The Mexican first chief replied to
the insistent American demand that
the protocol signed by his spokesman
at Atlantic City be ratified with an
S00-word document, in which he failed
to accede to the demand, but refrained
from writing anything that could be
construed as fiat reputation.
The latest suggestions for changes
in the agreement now will be consid-
cred by the three American represent
atives-Secretary Lane, J.. R. Mott and
Judge George Gray. Early next week,
at a joint session of the Mexican
American commission, the Americans
will give the Mexicans their answer.

CLUE TO SLAYER OF MODEL
Wealthy Chicagoan Believed Murderer
of Mrs. Grace Roberts of
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Jan. 3.-The curtain of
mystery that draped the brutal MUIR
der of Maize Colbert, alias Mrs. Grace
Roberts, pretty model, who was found
dead in her apartments, was drawn
aside and revealed the story of a trag-
edy that rivaled the most weird
dreams of Poe.
The name of the man who tortured
and then killed the woman is now in
the hands of the police, and, according
to detectives, will lead to a man
standing high in business circles of
Chicago and this city.
He met Mrs. Roberts about a year
ago, fell desperately in love with her
and when she refused to discontinue
her friendship with other men killed
her rather than see his worldly sweet
heart travel the primrose path.

REFUSE PEACE OFFER
ALLIES DEMAND PREPARATION
AND SECURITY OR THE WAR
CONTINUES.
CALL FOE PERL TO WORLD
Entente's Answer Asserts Berlin Must
Give Acceptable Terms Before Con.
ference Is Held--Note Called
War Maneuver.

Paris, Jan. BIN reply to the prof.
fers of Germany and her allies for
peace conference the entente allies, In
a collective note, declare that they re
fuse to consider a proposal which Is
empty and insincere." The note was
handed to the American ambassador,
William Graves Sharp, by Premier Bril-
and, and was made public simultane-
ausly in London and Paris.
The entente allied governments in
sist that no peace is possible so long
as they have not secured reparaton
for violated rights and liberties and
the free existence of small states and
have not brought about a settlement
for the future security of the world.
The note declares that the proposal
of the central powers is not an offer
of peace, but ''war maneuver-"
The note does not specifically out
line the definite war aims of any OF the
entente governments except Belgium.
Before the war, it is pointed out, Bel
GUM asked for nothing but to live in
harmony with her neighbors. Assailed
In spite of the treaties guaranteeing
her inviolability, Belgium, the note
says, has taken up arms to defend her
independence and "her neutrality vio-
lated by Germany"
Belgium's aim, which is declared to
be the only aim of her king and gov
eminent, is described as ''the re-estab-
lishment of peace and justice. But they
only reside peace which would assure
to their country legitimate reparation,
guarantees and safeguards for the fu-
ture.'
The note, which is the joint act Of
Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan, Montenegro, Portugal, Rou-
mania, Russia and Serbia, declares that
the present strife was desired, pro-
voked and declared by Germany and
Austria-Hungary, and that Germany
made no effort to bring about pacific
solution Of the trouble between Serbia
and Austria-Hungary. as did Great
Britain, France and Russia.
A peace concluded upon the German
idea would be only to the advantage of
the central powers, says the note, while
disasters caused by the war demand
penalties, reparation and guarantees.
The overtures also are said to have
the effect of intimidating neutral pub
lie opinion as well as to Stiffen opinion
in the central powers, worn out by
economic pressure and crushed by the
supreme effort which has been imposed
upon their inhabitants"
"Finally," it is asserted, "these over
lures attempt to justify in advance in
the eyes of the world a new series of
crimes-submarine warfare, deporta-
ton, forced labor and forced enlist
ment of the inhabitants against their
own countries and violations of neu-
trality."
