CALM CONTINUES ON WAR FRONTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

The period of comparative calm which has existed on all the battle fronts for some time except in Ru- mania continues. In no theater aside from Rumania has an important en- gagement taken place, the activity ev- anywhere being carried out by means of the artillery and by small patrol parties
 In Rumanian the Teutonic allies have gained another considerable suc- cess in the capture in northern Dob rudja of the towns of Matchin and Jijila, on the eastern bank of the Dan ube, opposite the important town of Braila, forcing the Russians to a point just south of the Danube, where the river bends and separates Dubrudja from Bessarabia.
 In Moldavia and Northern Wallachia the invaders are keeping up their gains both northward and eastward from the Transvalynian Alps region. At several points in the center of the lines in Northern Wallachia, however. the Russians and Rumanians are tenaci- ously fighting to hold them back, and, according to Petrograd. in the region southwest of Focsani and near the River Rimnik the Teutonic allies were defeated. the defenders taking several villages and capturing six officers, 205 men. five cannon and eight machine guns.
 On the western front lively artil- lery duels are in progress in Belgium and on several sectors in the region of Nerdun. On the Austro-Italian front bombardments alone have taken place. There is still no news concerning the operations in Macedonia.
 A wireless report from Berlin credit ing to Swiss sources advices to the eff feet that German submarine has tor pedoed and badly damaged near Malta the French battleship Verite. is de- clared by the French ministry of ma rine to be absolutely false. Another Berlin report says that since the be- ginning of the war entente warships of total tonnage of 759, ,430 tons. not including auxiliaries and special type ships, have been sunk

come of aid to one set of belligerents, Senator Lodge led the opposition to the resolution in which he was SUD- ported by other republicans, among them Senator Gallinger, the republican leader and Senator Borah.
 Senator Hitchcock led the fight for his resolution in which he was sup ported by Senator Smith of Georgia in the contention that an endorsement of the presidents note was no more than an act in the interest of humanity.
 When the senate resumes the debate tomorrow it also will have before it a sub-resolution by Senator Gallinger which merely would say:
 That the senate of the United States in the interests of humanity and civilization expresses the sincere hope that peace between the warning nations of Europe may be consummat- ed at an early date
 The Hitchcock resolution would say:
 That the senate approves and strongly endorses the action taken by the president in sending the diplomatic notes of December IS to the nations now engaged in war suggesting and recommending that those nations state the terms upon which peace might be discussed"
 Senator Lodge insisted today that the Hitchcock resolution called upon the senate to endorse all of the presi- dents note, which he contended goes lar beyond any proposition merely to bring the belligerents together. It would project congress, he declared. into European politics, overturning q policy of years standing and by in-

volving the United States in European politics. necessarily would involve political interests of the western hemi- sphere in contravention of the spirit of the Monroe doctrine Because Of wide spread misinterpretation of the note Senator Lodge declared congress was venturing into danger if it adopted the Hitchcock resolution.
 If misinterpretation of the note is general" he said, then we are in danger. without abatement or modlh- cation of the plan of stating to the whole world that the senate or con- gress are ranging themselves on the side of one belligerent in an attempt to bring about peace" 1t will be ob- served that the president found 1t nec- essary to state that he was embar- rassed in making the proposition. as it might appear that he was influenced by the step taken by Germany but short time previous.
 The president said his note was in no way associated with the German note. Unfortunately different inter pretation has been placed upon the note, both abroad and here at home. Otherwise, it could hardly be. coming at the moment that it did.
 If MT. Lansings statement. made few hours after the presidents note was sent, and in which the dangerous position of the United States was pointed out, is true, no sounding. out of the belligerents was necessary.
 The next morning. however. sec ond explanation of the presidents note was offered by Mir. Lansing. How far this second explanation went in ex- blaming the purpose of the presidents note. I will have to leave to others more ingenious than myself to figure out"
 Senator Lodge declared he believed that the Lansing statement had some purpose, and declared if the purpose of the note was to inform the world that the United States had direct in- terest that was bringing this country to the verge of war, then the note was justified in form and substance.

la Paz. an employe of the firm.
 Further investigation revealed, ac cording to Mir. Knox that other ship ments of cartridges had been made from New York under the guise of various kinds of machinery. Some of these shipments he said, were sent to Galveston Texas, on board the steam e Neches of the Mallory line. the Galveston shipments being manifested and marked in care of R. Miere. Three weeks ago, Gotting, Mont, and de la Paz were arrested here by federal agents. Reuben Miere was arrested at Houston, Texas, and sent to New York. A development of the case. based in part on a statement said to have been made to the officers by de Ia Paz, disclosed, MT Knox said. that ammunition worth $40, 900 had been shipped to New York, was received by Gotting and Mont. taken to a store house controlled by them and there prepared for delivery into Mexico via Ward and Mallory line steamers.
 The implication of Consul General Burns came, Mir. Knox said, when in- vestigations revealed that the money to pay for this ammunition had come from him. One of the counts in the indictments mentions in this connec- ton the advancing by Burns of $5,200 A considerable quantity of the am intuition found here and at Galveston has been seized by the federal officers and is held as evidence against the accused.
 Burns protested his innocence and entered plea of not guilty. He was released on a bond of $10,000 which he furnished in cash. Later Burns said:
 T am entirely innocent of any wrong doing. I have not made any attempt to buy arms here to be shipped to Mexico and l cannot see how I can possibly be connected with any such charge as has been brought"

 tive Henry had no intention of call ing his committee to consider the original Wood Teak" resolution intro duced on December 22. Representa- tive Henry denied this. but said neith- CT Mir. Lawson nor Representative Wood had produced or promised tt produce any evidence which would warrant such action.
 Representative Gardner asserted positively that there had been a leak and that he would favor call ing the president, his stenographers, and others who might have been able to furnish advance information re- garding the forthcoming message.
 Demands by Representative Garrett of Tennessee opposing the resolution for concrete statement as to the rumors Of leaks" drew this state ment from Representative Bonnet:
 The rumor is thar Mir. Barney Baruch. member of the Council of National Defense was the man re- sponsible for this information getting to Wall street and that 90 minutes before the presidents message was made public he sold, on a rising mar ket ir steel. by the way, 15O00 shares of steel common short. That is the rumor in New York Cit", if the gen. tlenan wants names"
 In holding the resolution privileged Speaker Clark disregaried everything it contained save two statements at tributed to Lawson. They were to the effect that members of congress had been 'wallcwing in Wall Street leak graft for forty years" and that in- auguration Of a rear investigation would see less than a quorum present in the two houses and speedy shift ing of bank accounts.

PLENTY OF GUARDS
 UNDER COMMAND OF
 STATE AUTHORITIES

Colonel Harris, adjutant general of the national guard of Arizona, stated last night that he had caught the evening paper in another error, he did not use the shorter and uglier term, though he implied as much He read with much interest a story appearing in that paper, to the effect that at present there are no national guards men in the state under his control In other words it was implied that all the guardsmen belonging to the First Regiment having taken the federal oath are not under the commands of the state. 60
 Nothing to it." said the colonel Some one was evidently grossly ig- norant, or either they wished to mis- lead the public as usual There are at present in the neighborhood of 150 na- tional guardsmen in the state under the control of the state authorities. They are men who have been placed on the reserve list, or have been re- tired. They are subject to call from my office. and can be placed on the active list at any moment"

 Personally. I am very hopeful that this valley will become a logical place to grow 50,00o or more acres of cotton. The next few years and the attitude of local owners of land will determine this. We have come here not only to operate, but to cooperate. In most instances we have been met with a spirit of cooperation on the part of local men and if this shall continue we shall do our utmost along conservative lines to help place the Salt River valley on the map"
