EVIDENCE THAT THE ChRRANZA GOVERNMENT IN MEXICO IS TOTTERING BEFORE INSURGENTS IS RECEIVED AT WASHINGTON.
SITUATION REACHES
 TROUBLESOME, STAGE
SOME OF THE GOVERNMENT OF FlCIALS AT WASHINGTON URGE WITH DRAWAL OF PERSHlNG'S FORCES, BUT SUCH A MOVE IS NOT PROBABLE
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 30.- The administration is becoming great ly worried over the Mexican situa tion. For the latest dispatches re ceiYed here indicate that the Car Tanza government of Mexico is un able to control the bandit situation there. In fact. according to the dispatches. it can be said that the Carranza government is slowly tot tering to it's fall before the on slaughts of the insurgents. who now control vast portions of territory in different parts of the country
 The in yeasing evidence of Car ranza's inability to control the situa- s.on in Mexico. coupled with the
 ct that the provisional president of the southern republic failed to accept the peace protocol agreed upon by the Mexican American peace commission, are together the cause. of bringing the Mexican situation to a troublesome stage as far as the United States Is concerned In off cial circles it is being admitted that the situation is very embarrassing.
 Some of the officials are now favor ing the withdrawal from Mexico Of the American troops under Genera John J. Pershing. Many objections to such course. however. have been raised, and it is therefore prob, able that the policy of the admin istration in that regard will remain unchanged

 IS TORPEDOED
Associated Press.)

PARIS. Dec. 30,-Oficial announce ment made tonight from the French war office is to the effect that the French armored cruiser Gaulois was torpedoed in the Mediterranean sea on December 27, supposedly by a German or Austrian submarine. The ship sank within half an hour after being hit by the torpedo, but owing to the coolness of the crew in the emergency and the arrival of patrol boats which took the men off the ship. only four lives were lost. And two of those who met death were killed by the explosion when the torpedo hit the side of the ship.
 The Gaulois was a three-screw yes sel of 14.760 horse power She was capable of making a speed of 1892 knots per hour Her keel was laid at Brest in 1896. She had four eighteen-inch torpedo tubes in addi- uon to large armament

PAPER PRICES
 STILL SOARING
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 30.- When the hearings on the news print situation, which is being investigated by the Federal Trade commission reopened here today the paper manu lecturers representatives refused tC discuss the reasonableness or unrea- condolences of prices. The hearing therefore came to sudden enc without anything of importance being accomplished. The representatives of the manufacturers explained at the hearing that they had not had time to study the figures prepared by the expert accountant of the Fedora, Trade commission, showing hug, profits on the part of the papc manufacturing interests.
 It is expected that the report Of the investigation which is to be made by the Federal Trade commis sion will be issued within ten days. It is expected to contain recommen- dations that the whole matter be investigated by congress. And it Is further intimated that the facts learned by the commission will be turned over to Justice Day of tho supreme court
 The representatives of the pub fishers who attended the conference contend that the publishers were frightened into paying high prices by the reports received from the manufacturers and jobbers of paper to the effect that there would be shortage.
 Among those who attended the meetings were: Emil NJ Scholz, of the New York Evening Post; Jason Rogers, of the New York Globe; P. P. Glass. chairman of the News Paper Publishers Association paper committee; L. B. Palmer, manager of the association; A. G. Mcintyre, the association's paper expert, and representatives of a number of state publishers associations.

DANCE LAST NIGHT AT AUDI. FORUM IN CELEBRATION OF ADVENT OF NEW YEAR GEN. REALLY CONCEDED THE sUc- CESS OF THE SEASON.
MRS. FRED DOUSE
 TOOK FIRST PRIZE
DRESSED AS SCARECROW AND ACTING THE PART, SHE WAS MlRTH PROVOKING IN THE TREME-THREE OTHER PRlz ES AWARDED.


 All Fairbanks ran riot" so to speak, last night. The occasion was the annual masquerade ball in cele- bration of the outgoing of the old year and the advent of the new. an affair always attended by all of the dance lovers of Fairbanks and vi i cinity who are able 10 get there. It would not be fair to say that this years in honor of the same event. but that it was the crowning social success of the winter season is gen. erally conceded.
 And everything was of an orderly nature, although the dance was very cosmopolitan affair. A masked committee was on the floor to keep order but such provision was ab- solutely unnecessary, as there was not even the remotest suspicion of disorder anywhere The floor of the dance hall was at it's best. and the five-piece orchestra tried to outdo itself in an effort to supply music such as the Terpsichorean artists only know how to enjoy. The dance lasted until an early hour this morn ing.
 Four cash prizes, aggregating tho sum of $50. were awarded by the management of the Auditorium, in addition to a consolation prize. The first prize, SEQ in gold was awarded to Mrs. Fred Douse. She was cos. tuned as SCarecrOw and acted the part, much to the amusement of the spectators in the gallery. Mrs. Houser, as "The Harem Girl" car ried away the second prize of $15. Her costume was easily the most elaborate in the hall, and called forth a great deal of favorable com- ment.
 J. L. Larson, costumed as a China man, took the third prize of S10. For time the judges were unde- cided as to whether the prize should be awarded to bim or to F. R. Peo- ples, who was also masked as Chinaman. but finally decided that MT. Peoples size gave him away as a maske- and consequently the prize was warded to his fellow tong chief. Miss Derchoto was awarded the fourth prize of S5. She was very charming as La Vogue"
 The consolation prize was award ed to little Pearl Wood. She was dressed as Charlie Chaplin.
 Other costumes worthy of men, tlOn were those or MrS. J. A. Sutner- land and Fred Douse. Mrs. Suther- land was "up-to-date" and MT. Douse was costumed as a professional bum. One of the features of the evening was their little act when the dane CTS unmasked at 12 o'clock Mrs. Sutherland seized rope end hang. ing from MT. Douse's clothing and started toward the other end of the hall. In the meantime MT. Douse started to whirl. The result was that line stretched from one side of the hall to the other, with all of MT. Douse's articles of clothing pin ned on it with clothespins. leaving him Zen negligee" holding the end of the rope at the side of the hall opposite to Mrs. Sutherland
