J. 5. ASKS WHY DIPLOMAT |S PUT OUT IF
 RUMAN|A
Peculiar Act of German Con- mander Toward All Neutral Representatives Causes U. s. to Inquire.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-lnquiry was addressed to Germany today by the state department as to the truth of reports that German authorities had asked all neutral diplomats to leave Bucharest, Rumania, and had provided for that purpose a special train. Official information is desired so American Minister Vopicka can be authorized to depart if necessary. No instructions have been sent him since he was ordered at the time of the fall of Bucharest to stay in Ru- mania.
 Officials are at a loss to under stand why the German government should wish to send the whole neutral diplomat corps out of the captured Rumanian capital though it is admit ted that she has the legal right to do so.
 A minister is accredited to a gov ernment and not to place, but of ficials believe that some representa- tive of neutral government must re- main in Bucharest, not only to repre- sent their own interests, but also to represent those of the allied govern ments who have turned over their af- fairs in Rumani to them.
 Diplomacy offers little precedent for such a request as Germany's despite it's legal justification. In the case of Belgium, it is recalled, Germany did not ask for withdrawal of Brand Whitlock, the American minister after the Belgian government had with drawn to Havre. France, but contin- ued to recognize him in a semi-offi- cial way It was expected that much

.HuntCase Delayed
(By Review Leased Wire.)

PHOEN1X. Jan. 15.-The Hunt Campbell contest proceedings await the preparation of the case of the contestant. Contrary to the popular opinion the contest has not really be- gun. Only an inspection of the bal lots has been had and that was all that was prayed for in the original complaint of Governor Hunt. His in- spectors and clerks are now engaged in going over the figures disclosed ty the inspection and on them will be based specific allegations in the complaint in the contest case. It was stated today by the governors rep resentatives that the complaint would not be ready for some days, probably g week
 The case for determining the right of Governor Campbell to take office on his certificate of election is apart from the contest and is now under advisement in the supreme court No hint has come from the court as to the time when an opinion will be handed down.

 President B. B. Johnson of the American league arrived late today from Chicago. He said he had come to attend the meeting of the schedule committees. Johnson said he did not care to talk about the players pro- posed strike. but that if it material ized, the American league had enough players under contract to start the season and that others would be SC cured to fill any vacancies that might exist.
 Johnson also said that he was not in favor of the plan to divide the pro

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-A new phase of the threatened strike of the Base ball Players Fraternity developed late today when it was learned that Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor and President David L.

Make Laws ReqardIess?

PHOENIX. Jan. 15.-The legisla- ture at the beginning of the second week of the session indicated that it would proceed in disregard of the gu bernatorial situation until it reached n point at which the approval or dis approval of legislation would become essential. It was stated by President Claridge of the Senate and that view is concurred in by the leaders of the House. that members should proceed with the introduction of bills. It is expected that by the time they reach the state of third reading the status of Hunt or Campbell will have been at least temporarily demonstrated.
 The question of salaries of mem bers and attaches is difficult thing but as nothing can be done about it their pay will have to accumulate.
 There was general belief that the supreme court would hand down an opinion this morning on the Hunt Campbell mandamus case but there was no meeting of the court and no intimation was given out as to when a decision would be rendered.

'DeueyIs Dying
(By Review Leased Wire.)

(By Review Leased Wire.)
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Geo. Dewey, admiral of the navy and hero of Manila Bay, is on his death bed. A general breakdown accompanied by arterio sclerosis has shattered the veterans Strength, and tonight at his home here he was semi-conscious. The doctors say he may die in six hours.
 Active Till End.
 The admiral was stricken last Thursday as he was leaving home for the navy department. where as president of the general board he has been at his desk almost daily during the past sixteen of his 62 years of service in the navy. He collapsed and had to be carried to his bed. When physicians were caleld they were alarmed, but knowing the admiral's great re- cuperative powers and his keen aversion to any suggestion of his failing, they determined to make no immediate announcement re- garding his illness. Inquirers be- ing told that the admiral had a cold.
 Suffered for Year.
 But the great strength of the aged officer had been sapped, and there was no recuperation. This morning his condition has become so serious that it was decided to state the facts to the public Later it became known that Admiral Dewey had a severe illness more than a year ago about which only his physicians and intimates knew and that he never had been the same physically since
 Mrs. Dewey and the admiral's son, George, Jr., are with him and have been told that the end is near.

Terms Would Not Help
When Entente Fails

Expressing a profound conviction that the problem of the entente pow CTS never could be carried into effect, Dr. Zimmerman intimated that a failure of the entente's offensive this year, which he expected. might again make it possible to approach the sub ject of peace on reasonable terms and with some prospect of success.
 "The entente powers gave out for themselves a big program" said Dr. Zimmerman, commenting on the note to President Wilson. What more is there for Germany to say regarding it?"
 Now that the allies have to a cer- tain extent outlined their plans" said the correspondent do you think there is any possibility of Germany declar- ing in some form or other its pro- gram for a peace settlement?'

Can Do no More

No" the minister replied. after an instants reflection. 'I think we can do nothing more. We cannot afford to give the impression that we are chasing after peace at all costs. After the entente allies have put out this highly ambitious program, an an nouncement of the firm and moderate terms of German peace would by con- trast probably be interpreted by our adversaries as an indication of weak ness and would be used by them to en- courage their people to fight on. Our people would not understand any fur ther effort by us for the introduction of peace by the entente's program. We have to consider public opinion here"

Foreign Minister Zimmerman Says for Germany to Press Further for Peace Now Would Be Sign of Weakness, in Face of Pretentious Program Outlined by Allies for the Crushing of Germany
LET THE WORLD SEE BY CONTRAST THE

 BERLIN, Jan. IA. (Wireless to
 the Associated Press).-Dr. Al
 fred Zimmerman, the German
 foreign minister, informed the
 Associated Press today that in
 his opinion, the entente reply to
 President Wilson's peace note
 bars the possibility for the pres
 ent of further German steps to
 bring about peace. In particu-
 lar. he said, it precluded any d.
 rect announcement by Germany
 of her conditions. in answer to
 the terms set forth in the latest
 entente note.
 Dr. Zimmerman asserted, how ever. that the answer of the entente to the President did not finally and completely close the door to later ef- forts for peace before one side or the other was completely crushed.
 Allies Bar Peace
 The foreign minister. in the course of a conversation with the Associated Press correspondent, last night. de- clared although with obvious reluc- tance, that it was impossible for him to give a more definite statement of the peace program of the central pow CTS than that indicated in the declara- tions of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg the chancellor, because the German terms were such that the unsolicited promulgation of them in their moder- ate details, after what he character ized as the aspiring aim of conquest and dismemberment outlined by the entente, would be interpreted by the entente as a sign of weakness and Of a desire for peace at any cost.
 Terms Would Not Help
 Publication of the peace terms or the central powers therefore would defeat its every purpose, said Dr. Zimmenmann. The foreign minister expressed doubt whether after what he described as the rebuff to Presi- dent Wilson's peace efforts given in the reply of the entente, the Presi- dent could take any further action for the present, adding that the entente answer excluded for the present any possibility of peace.
