THREE STORIES TO
 BE ADDED TO HOTEL
 ADAMS IMMEDIATELY

The Hotel Adams is to be an eight story structure when it will be the largest and best appointed hotel in the United States in a town of the size of Phoenix. 1t will be, as it is now, absolutely fireproof. There will not then be such a hotel in any town of 100000 in America. It contains now five stories. The three new stories are not to be regarded as an addition to the present structure, but further development of it, for the plans were made six years ago for ten-story structure.
 It was not then thought that eight of the stories would be needed so soon. Most people believed that five were too many then, but President J. C. Adams of the hotel company had more faith in the town than that, and he proceeded to the erection of five stories, with a view to still others. The ceiling of each of the steel and con- crete stories is the floor of the one above it, so that when the first phase of the building was finished the floor of the sixth story was laid. All the plumbing was carried up through it for the sixth and the pipes were capped. Even the elevator was scored for three more stories and the elevator shaft was carried along.
 That was not all of the preparation for the next drive. There are observed near the top of the structure what seem to be the outlines of half win dows. They are really full windows for the sixth floor, cut off by the cor nice. They are covered with a curtain of an inch and half of concrete which will be cut out, when the window stills for the next floor will be all ready.
 The business of a year ago made if 1 evident that while the hotel might ac- commodate the trade for nine months | in the year it could not meet the demand Of the other three months l But Mir Adams was not sure that the | business of that year was a true | barometer. The business of the last year has left no doubt in his mind that the additional room is needed and it was decided to undertake the work at once. Accordingly MT. Adams has
 sent the blue prints to steel companies
 for bids. The work can be completed in four months without disturbance o1
 the hotel as it now stands. It can, il fact, be carried on almost without the

LONDON, Jan. 14.-A successful daylight air raid has been made on Karlsruhe. according to British of ficial communication issued tonight. The text of the statement says:
 Today our squadrons carried out a most successful raid into Germany in broad daylight, their objectives being the railway station and munitions fac tories at Karlsruhe. One and a quar- ter tons of bombs were dropped. Bursts were observed on buildings and sidings of the main railway junction in the center of the town, on railway workshops and a smaller junction in the town.
 Observers report that a very large fire was started in factories alongside the railway, which was confirmed by photographs.
 "Thc antiaircraft fire was very heavy and accurate, and several hos tile machines vainly attacked our for nation. All our airplanes reached their objectives and returned safely.

Ahowledge of the guests that additional stories are being superimposed. The wooden roof which now covers the ceiling of the fifth floor and the floor of the sixth will be left in place until the building is complete.
 The sixth and seventh floors will be replicas of the sixth. They will be finished in mahogany all the furniture will be of that wood, and the carpets will be Wilton velvet. The eighth floor will be finished in large rooms which will be fitted up for salesmen until such time as they will be needed for guest rooms. Many commercial houses now maintain permanent sam pie rooms and offices here and for a time at least the rooms of the eighth floor will be available for such uses.
 When complete the hotel vii have 45O rooms. The hotel will maintain it's own ice and cold storage plant and, perhaps, it's own electric lighting sys- tenn. There will be no disturbance ot the lobby or the dining room in this enlargement, for, as it has been stated, they were planned in the beginning for a ten story hotel. over the entire south wing of the structure there Will be a roof garden equipped with toilets and shower baths for use in the heat cd season.
 Not only has this enlargement been made necessary to take care Of the 1 high peak of business in three months of the year but it is intended to meet i the growing demand from various
 sources in all seasons of the year. The i Apache Trail, for instance. has grown | to be a great and increasing institu- l ton over which large bodies Of tour 1 ists are passing through the summer. 1 spring and fall. The town, too, is growing rapidly.
 The present hotel was begun i'll the ] spring of 1911 and was completed III
 eight working months. The concrete
 for a story was poured every three
 weeks and the finishing and furnish
 ing were complete for the opening of
 the hotel to the public in November Of
 that year. Every year since then has
 justified the magnitude of the enter prise. In view of the development. of the town and the needs of the travel
 ing public it is reasonable to expect that the original plan, not many years
 hence, will be fully carried out to the completion of the tenth story.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
TRepublican A. Leased Wire1

Although there still is talk in ul.- official quarters of the possibility of a final break in the peace negotia- tions between the central powers and the Bolsheviki, the armistice evidently has been extended to Feb ruary IS, and it is reported that the pour parlers will be transferred from Brest-Litovsk to Warsaw.
 Later advices indicate that there was considerable haggling between the opposing delegates at Brest- Litovsk over territorial questions and the fixing of a clause in the pro- posed treaty announcing peace. Trotzky, the Bolsheviki minister, proved recalcitraIit with regard to the German formula that the con- tracting parties have resolved hence forth to live in peace and friend ship" and he declared that it was a decorative phrase" and did not describe what the future relations between the Russian aLd German peoples would be.
 Internal strife continues in various parts of Russia. Bolshevili troops are reported to have cleared General Kaledines' Cossacks from the Don river basin and to have captured Ekaterinoslav. Following previous reports of mutiny of sailors at Sebastopol, where 62 officers, among them four admirals were killed, Rus sian soldiers are declared to have footed the town of Kilia and in fight ing with the Ukrainians, to have forced the second Ukrainian regi- meht to surrender and lay down 1 1000 rifles and 13 machine guns.
 The Petrograd garrison also ap- parently is out of hand, idle soldiers having been reported as going into the provinces and taking food from the inhabitants and bringing it back to the capital and selling it at exorbitant prices.
 The social revolutionary members of the continent assembly in Rus sia are opposed to q general peace at Russia's expense and declare that the Bolsheviki are ''usurpers oi power, who have precipitated the country into an abyss of civil wal and anarchy"
 Speculation is rife concerning the conferences that are being held ir
 Berlin between the military and po-
 litical leaders in which Emperor
 William and the crown prince alst
 have participated. "A death strug- gle is now proceeding between tht reichstag peace majority and thu
 military annexationist party, say Bavarian newspaper, which add that it does not know which side thu government will support and tha Egyptian darkness 'enshrouds th' nations peace terms
 Cold weather and snows still ar retarding the infantry activity on tn battle front, where hO fighting O moment is taking place, except il the nature of small patrol engage ments and artillery duels. Notwith

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Nearly half q million men from Great Britain alone are to be recruited into the British army at the earliest date possible, and it is probable that many more will be added to that number in the coming months. These will com prise the younger men who, up to the present time, have been exempt because of their employment in in- dustries essential to the war ser vices
 This announcement was made in the house of commons today by Sir Auckland Geddcs minister of na- tional service, whose statement of the governments man power pro- posals are repleto with interesting details of Britain's strength in the struggle into which she means to throw her full resources.
 The minister set forth the status and needs of the British fighting and intuition forces and the measures tho government is taking after pgrecment with most of the labor leaders for recruiting from the classes of skilled workers who were promised exemptioH when conscrip- ton was adopted.
 The empire has enrolled I,5OO,0oU fighting and labor battalion forces during the war according to the statement of the minister and now has more than 4,000000 enrolled, but needs more men to hold it's own against the enemy until the Amerl- can strength is available.
 Ina n inc labor leaders have met the govern ment, but regretted that the Amalga- mated Society of Engineers had re- mained outside the conference, add ing, however, that the invitation was still open to the members of thlS society.

FORMER PREMIER
 IS JAILED UPON
 TREASON CHARGE

It is recalled that during the trial of Madame Ca;llaux for killing Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, Gail iauX testified that he inherited t,200,- 500 francs, and added that he could establish the fact that his fortune had not increased at the time of the trial.
 According to the Intransigeant the commissions of inquiry sent to Italy in connection with the Caillaux case have not yet reported to the public prosecutor, so the arrest of the former premier was not due to them.
 "A document reached tho hands of military justice, however, says the newspaper, which was of such gray ity and authenticity that it was im- possible to permit CaillauX to remain longer at liberty
 La Liberte says the investigation of the Italian department of justice into the case of Signor Cavallini, an Italian associate of Bolo Pasha who was ar rested in Italy last November. led to the discovery of a safe in a Florence bank, entered in the name of Renouard. This was the maiden name of Madame Caillaux and was used by the former premier during his visits to Italy in DeCeIHDeT, 1910.
 Various versions are current regard ing the contents of this safe, but La Liberte declares that M. Caillaux does not deny and is not able to deny the ownership of the papers and funds de- | posted in the name of Renouard. Madame Caillaux said the arrest of her husband was inexplicable to her | The safe deposit vault in Florence. she said, contained 50,000 francs worth ot 1 jewels and between 5000 and 500, ,00C francs in bonds made out to the bear CT. which were drawn from Paris banks in August, 1914, on account ot the military situation.
