INQUIRY BEGUN OF
RECENT BORDER RAID

Maria. Tex, Dec. 2s-A military in
vestigation to determine the political
significance of the recent bandit raids
on the Brite and Fitzgerald ranches
was today under way, directed by Col
onel George T. Langhorne. military
commander of the Big Bend district.
Rumors that the raids were the re-
suit Of pro-German n,achtnations and
another story to the effect that the
raiders were Carranzista troops We're
current along the border today. The
arrival of Captain Sprinkle, command
ing the cavalry patrol which pursued
the raiders into Mexico, with valuable
documents which he Is said to have
collected from the bodies of the Is
bandits slain during the fighting at
the Brite ranch and during the pursuit
by American troops will furnish defi-
mite information to Colonel L.anghorne.
Military headquarters early today
declined to fix responsibility for the
raid, lacking definite facts.

ers.
The minimum wage of Duluth and

KAISER FAILS TO
COMPLY WITH THE
TERMS OF ALLIES
Under Proposed Peace There
Would Be Nothing to Pre-
vent Germany From Max
ing War Again.
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The kaiser's
new peace terms are an offer to agree
to return to international boundaries
as they were before the war; and a
possible recognition Of a liability part
ly to indemnify Belgium, II America
and the allies will consent to abandon
their demand for a characterization Of
Germany.
Certain parts Of the kaiser's terms
are vaguely expressed, probably by in
tention, but it seems as If the refer
ence to naturalization for illegal acts
against civilians may apply to the IL
legal German invasion of Belgium
There Is no indication in the kaisers
proposal, however, that the Hohenzol-
lern family is willing to abandon it's
irresponsible destinies of the German
people.
COULD MAKE WAR AGAIN.
The kaiser would still have the
power to bring on second war SINH
lar to the present If the allies were to
accept his new overtures.
1t is apparent that Germany is pre-
pairing to sacrifice Bulgaria since the
mo annexations" clause of the kaiser's
terms debars the Bulgars from secur-
ing any part Of Serbia. But this be-
trayal of the Teutons' Balkan ally,
would net the kaiser adequate COM
pensation if the allies were to accept
the mo annexation" offer and restore
Mesopotamia and Palestine to the
murderous Turks.
BoLSHEvlKI COMPROMISED
The prestige of the Bolsheviki dip
lomats Is seriously compromised by
the kaiser's terms. Russian territory
in possession of the ATe,tens can be
ransomed only by the return to Ger
many of her colonies held by Great
Britain and France. Lenine and
Trotzky, who have been bitterly de-
nouncing the western allies. now find
that it is the same western nations
that must redeem Russia IL the Slavs
are to have peace with Russian terri
tory undisturbed.
The danger of a separate Russian
peace, is therefore now greatly dimin-
ished. The kaiser, apparently. sees
the fatal weakness Of making a sep
arate peace with so unstable an ele-
ment as the Bolsheviki. The present
Russian government appears to be
caught. in the meshes of it's own in
trigue.

London, Dec. 2S.-Germany's peace
terms cannot be considered by England
II unanimous editorial opinion Of Lon

Every newspaper today joined in
emphatic dismissal of such terms as
announced by Count Czernin. Every
one except the Express and the News,
agreed that the offer was not even
worth attempting to follow up.
Germany offers sham restoration, .
declared the Mail. THE British en-
pire will be blown up sky-high before
giving up the German colonies. We
will not weaken our demand for re-
paration until we are forced to. We
will not place our diplomacy in the
hands of the Bolsheviki"
NO PREPARATION.
"The offer Is nothing more than a
status quo peace. without reparation,'
declared the Telegraph.
''The offer Is addressed especially 70
the United States and is no doubt the
forerunner of more formal proposals.. "
the Chronicle held. THE terms offer
no security against recurrence of war
whenever the original disturbers of the
peace find themselves strong enough 70

victory"
Disagreeing with the other comment.

1.-THE allied reply" the editorial de-
clared, should demonstrate to the Ger
man people that the allies do not wish
their destruction. When they so under
stand they will complete the destruc-
ton of militarism themselves"

The offer is bit Of skillful diplom-
acy," said the News Nothing would
be more ill-advised than a general de-
nunciation by the allies press and poll
ticians that there is no basis for i'm
mediate negotiations.
"If Russia appeals to the allied
views, the latter should seize the op-
portunity to make candid reasoned
