Yaqui Indians Attack SOutilernP PacifiC Train KILLED FROM TWENTY TO

SIR CECIL sPRiNe-R
 4 ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE
6mtish Ambassador Notifies State De. ] partmeat That He Is Going Home.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Sir Cecil Spring Rice, who has been British ambassador in Washington since May S, 1913, called at the state department today to say that he was going home on leave of absence. That was as far as the official statement. on the sub ject went, but 1t is known that fur ther information; to be given out from London will confirm the reports that come through English newspapers of a general and sweeping change in the British diplomatic representation in most of the larger capitals.
 The purpose of the reorganization, it is learned, touches the personnel of the embassies rather than the roli- cies of fthe British government in it's relations with it's allies, and it is ex- pressly stated in an authoritative guar ter that there is to be no change in these policies connected with the pros- ecution of the war.
 Sir Cecil has desired for some time to be relieved of the heavy duties of tn Washington embassy as soon as such change could be made without dctriment to the service. It is known now that when Foreign Minister Bal four came to the United States last spring the ambassador tended his res- ignation to take effect at the conven- fence of the foreign office and has been awaiting it's acceptance since that time. e
 No statement can be made as to the time the change will take effect or as to succession to the ambassadorship but it is expected that this information will not be long deferred.
 In the meantime Golville Barclay councillor of the embassy, probably will serve as charge d'affaires

 Ground for the nuisance charge &C., scording to the indictment, was found in the fact that Louisville and Nash tflie trains were habitiialIy and care lessIy operated over crossings in Bull lit county at dangerous rate of us

Advocates Government Control of Food
 to Be Served in Public Eating Places.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Government purchase and sale to consumers of all sugar used in the United States and control of the amounts and kinds. of food to be served in public eating places were advocated to meet the abnormal war conditions by Food Ad- ministrator Hoover today in testimony before the senate committee investi- gating sugar. He said additional legis- iation conferring upon the food admin istration such powers should be en- acted by congress
 Food conservation came up only cas- ually during an all day examination of MT. Hoover. but the administrator revealed that regults from conservation plans formulated for hotels and res taurants had been disappointing be- cause of the deliberate failure of some to Cooperate with the administration, Those seeking to help had been forced to abandon their efforts, MT. Hoover said, in order to meet competition. The witness believed housewives generally were conforming to the conservation recommendations. Chairman Reed of the committee, who has been the chief critic of the food administration in the senate, did not question Mir. Hoover, Senator Lodge conducting the examination most of the day.

Against the Germans to Offset the
 Detection of Russia.

Washington, Jan. 2.4-An engagement by the United States to send a great army against the Germans in time to offset the defection of Russia was dis closed today through the publication by Secretary Lansing of a review of the work and recommendations of the Amefican mission which recently par ticipnted in the fnter-alfied war con- ferences at Paris.
 American fighting men are to cross the Atlantic as rapidly as they can be mustered and trained. France and Great Britain on their part undertake not only to join in providing ships to carry them. but to see that any defi- ciencies in arms and equipment are made up on the other side.

Washington, Jan. 2-Solid. coal trains were ordered moved eastward ahead. of all other freight. tonight after conferences between the director general of railroads and the fuel ad- administrator on further plans for speeding coal to New England and other sections short of coal in the midst of blizzard. The railroads were directed to give preference so far as possible tC shipments from mines nearest the destination to cur tail hauls and promote efficiency,
 Plans to Unload Freight.
 The organization of a great army of laborers loaned by cities and corpora tions to unload coal and other freight at congested terminals now is under consideration and some thought even has been given to- the possibility of having soldiers assigned - to 4 these tasks if the civilian organization proves impracticable.
 Aid for Over Burdened East Transfer of locomotives from the i west and south, where congestion is not so serious and weather less in- clement was planned by Director General McAdoo and his staff. With the equipment will come a number of employees from those districts to assist the over -burdened east. Re- ports of frozen boilers in locomotives l and trains stalled in snow, led to special consideration of a plan of aug 1 Tnenting the available motive power on 1 trinS lines east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio river An im- l mediate embargo on movement of number of non essential products also was discussed.

REMINGTON ARMS PLANT
 DISCHARGES 2,5oo MEN Because of Failure of Russian Gov ernment to Keep It's Contract.

Bridgeport, Conn, Jan. 2.-Indica- tions point to the quick absorption. in other factories here. of the 2,500s hands discharged tonight by the Remington Arms company because of the failure of Russia to complete contracts for war supplies. At another factory en- gagged in the manufacture of fighting materials. it was stated recently that 1000 more workers were needed and it is thought here that many of the men laid off tonight will readily find employment there. Other shop own CTS have already. filed notice of need of more hands and it is predicted that within, a week most of the new idle workers will have been placed in new positions.
 The cause of the layoff was the col lapse of the Russian government which gave orders for rifles and bayonets to the Bridgeport corporation a

Entire unity henceforth is to be the watbhword of the United States and her. allies in the prosecution of the waf. American troops are to be rush. ed, ito the fighting fronts in large num- bers as quickly as possible and there is tS be perfect coordination in naval, military, financial, food, war industries and, diplomatic matters.
 The agreement between the allies for unified action was reached at the recent inter-ailied conference in Paris, which was attended by an American commission headed by Colonel B. M. Hotise, and arrangements already have bee1i made for the United States to carry out it's part of the combat.
 In order that American troops may be despatched in a constant stream to Europe, the allied nations are. to so arrange their merchant shipping that the necessary transports will be avail able for the huge task.
 That quick, work in getting the American army to the front is most eft4l is indicated by a statement of Major General Maurice, chief director Of military operations at the British var office. General Maurice says it ifpfobable that with their heavy rein feteenents, drawn from the. eastern to lie western front, the Germans short lfSwill make a strong offensive against the British and French armies fnd that the enemy may be expected tb make some gains. A
 Optimism was expressed. however that the enemy would not be able to infiict the same degree of .da ma ges up- +l,oT o11 hao ,rto oI a& the hands of the British during the past year.

Aside from reel procal artillery dueis, little fighting of moment is in progress. In an en- deavor 10 offset their loss of ground resulting from having been driver back across the lower Piave river, the enemy has tried to effect landing on the west bank of the stream a short distance from the mouth of the Piave His boats however, were caught un- der the fire of the Italian guns, and the project had to be given up.
 -Austro-German airmen continue tc bomb towns on the Venetian plains Treviso and Bassano have again beer attacked and bombs also were dropped on Mestre. Little damage was done by the bombs. Three of the enemy aircraft were shot down in aerial bat ties or by anti-aircraft guns.
