For Slayer of

(Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
El Paso, Texas, Nov. 2S.-Rela-
tives in New Mexico have offered
a reward of $2500 for the ap-
prehension, arrest and conviction
OF the persons guilty of or con-
nected with the death of William
A. Hackley, an I'll Paso business
man, who was found in a semi.
conscious condition on South
Santa Fe street here on The night
of September "a, and died the
following night. The offer of the
reward follows a test of the
dead mans stomach at a Berkeley,
Cal, laboratory, which is said to
have disclosed the presence OF
choral hydrate in that organ. 1t
is generally supposed Hackley
died as the result of injuries sus-
tanned in a fall to the street,
since the left half of the brain
was blood-clotted. Mr.. Hackley
was a brother-in-law of o. N.
Marion, Of Albuquerque, former
state treasurer of New Mexico.
Mr.. Marron's name is subscribed
to the offer of reward published

ITALIANS CAN HOLD LINE,

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Tuesday, Nov. 2S.-By the AS
ISOLATED Press).-A visit was made to.
day to the fighting ground at Monte
Tomba, Monte Monfenera and other
mountains in the fighting zone in the
north and then to the Piave line
where it joins the mountain front, af.
forded opportunity to see this central
point of the present huge struggle and
obtain from officers at several division
and brigade headquarters direct in.
formation in regard to the condition
of affairs. The tour was made with
a staff officer from headquarters and
covered about 100 miles, with stops at
the main points of fighting.
General Garibaldi, commander OF
the famous Alpine brigade, declared
the fighting had shown that the Italian
troops could hold the line beyond any
question, Speaking of the spirit OF
his men, he added:
IF the enemy does get past, owing
to superior generalship or superior
strength of guns, it will be only over
the dead bodies of our troops, for they
are determined never to yield"
The roads leading to the battle front
showed increasing masses of troops
being brought up for concentration on
the threatened lines.
-.
Much artillery was coming in. The
men and horses seemed to be in good
condition after the hard drive. Miles
of infantry moved forward, the ranks
showing fresh and youthful troops,
They wore steel helmets and were
getting ready to go into action. Many
had little pink boxes in their hands
which looked like packages Of candy
but when they were opened it was
not candy, which was seen, but long,
thin bullets which fit into the Italian
rifles.
Every cartridge belt was full OF
these pink boxes. Passing headquar.
tiers of the Fourth army, which holds
the vital line between the Brenta and

Robilant, commander of this army,

Germany has consented to
negotiate Immediately for an
armistice on all the fronts of
the belligerent countries, ac-
cording to a Petrograd dis
patch reporting on the outcome
of the visit by a Bolsheviki mil
.itary delegation to the German
lines on the Russian front for
negotiations with the German
military authorities. The
Bolsheyiki formula has been a
proposal of an armistice to all
the belligerents.
The proposal has fitted in
well with the admitted German
desire for achievements of
.Npeace by agreement" as in
Dictated in the 1916 peace offer
and in the German reply to
Pope Benedict's peace note as
well as in the reichstag resolu-
ton Of last July.
The entente governments and the
United States on the other hand
have shown no disposition to nego-
tiate while the free peoples of the
world" continue to be menaced 'by
a vast military establishment con-
trolled by an irresponsible govern
ment" in the words of President
Wilson's allusion to the German war
machine in his reply to the pope.
The Bolsheviki armistice propositions
were submitted to the embassies in
%Petrograd, but so far as has appeared
they have not been replied to by
the respective governments.
Ensign Krylenko sent the repre-
sentatives with instructions to re-
quest the German commander of the
sector, as the crossing was effected
to inquire of the German commander
in-chief whether it was agreeable to
him that representatives be sent for
immediate negotiations for an armis-
tice on the fronts Of all belligerent
countries and in case his response
was satisfactory to ask him to fix a
time and place for a conference OF
representatives of both sides. The
Krylenko emisaries crossed the Ger
man lines at A O'Clock yesterday aft
ernOon and were received by the
German commander of the sector. A
reply was promised at s o'clock. AT
ythe appointed time the Germans gave
official consent to conducting nego-
tiations. The conference was set for
December q. 1t is asserted here that
the persons who conducted the Ger
man negotiations were authorized by
their government to do &c. Pending
the holding Of the conference, En-
sign Krylenko has issued an order
to the army stopping determination
and advising vigilance and caution.
Contact has been established be-
tween the Bolsheviki leaders in Rus
STA and the German military authori-
ties and negotiations for an armistice
are in full swing behind the German
lines. Whatever the ultimate result
Of these negotiations, it seems clear
at present the Russian negotiators
