vict, sentenced to the peniten-
tiary five years ago and paroIed
by Governor Hunt. He lived with
the Powers.
Marshal Haynes escaped unhurt,
and came back to KIondyke for
help. A posse from Klondyke
started Sunday afternoon for the
Powers camp to bring back the
bodies. Haynes arrived at SAT-
ford at 4 p. m. Sunday with news
of the killing.
The murderers took the Off
GERS horses and ammunition and
started for the border to 90 into
Mexico. They stopped at Hot
Springs, one mile from the
Powers camp, and told a man
named Allen they had killed the
officers and that their father was
shot and for him to go to the
Powers home and take care of
him.
Posses left Stafford, Thatcher,
Pima, Fairview and Fort Thomas
Sunday night, heavily armed, for
the Galiuro mountains to get the
draft evaders and Tom Sisson.
The bodies of the dead officers
are expected to arrive in SAT-
ford tonight. A report today from
Reddington, in the San Pedro
Valley, states that the Powers
boys and Sisson reached there
Sunday night. Nothing further
has been heard of them, but the
posses are still in the field.

WAR REVIEW
OF THE DAY
rReoublican A. p. Leased WIre1

Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement by the Bolsheviki govern
ment that Russia is out of the war
and that a general rehabilitation along
the entire Russian front is to be car
ried out, thus permitting the Teutonic
allies to withdraw all their forces for
use on other battle fronts, President
Wilson has re-stated to joint ses-
sion of congress the fact that the
United States is in the war to stay un-
til those principles which the people
regard as fundamental to a permanent
peace are obtained.
The address of the president was de-
livered in answer to present utter
ances by Count CZernin, the Austro-
Hungarian, foreign minister, and Count
Won Hertling, the Imperial German
chancellor. made in reply to the peace
aims of the United States and her as
sociates in the war. set forth by Presi-
dent Wilson and David Lloyd George
the British prime minister.
In the words of Count Czernin. the
President saw a friendly tone; those
of Won Hertling were vague, very con-
fusing and full of equivocal phrases
Czernin, said the president, seemed to
have seen the fundamental elements
Of peace with clear eyes and did not
seek to obscure them, and probably
would have gone much further had il
not been for the embarrassments OF
Austrias alliances and of her depend
ence upon Germany
No formal treaty has been signed
between the Russians and the central
powers, but the Bolsheviki government
has ordered a cessation of hostilities
against Germany, Austria Hungary
Turkey and Bulgaria and the with
drawil of its troops from the trenches
and fortified positions from the Baltic
sea to the Rumanian frontier. 1t had
been forseen that such an outcome
eventually would follow upon the revo-
lutionary movements in Russia. Long
ago the enemy forces began the with
drawal of troops from this front. leav-

tion for a writ of error and q stay

"U' Boat Captain Takes Men
off American Ship on Board
Arthur B. BordIey of Baltimore,

Arthur B. BordIey of Baltimore,
the third officer, commanded a
boat in which were ten men. They
pulled away from the sinking ship
and in a few minutes came up
along the submarine which turned
a searchIight full upon them. Bord-
ley was ordered, in perfect English,
to take six of his men on board the
underwater boat. He was taken
below and closely questioned con-
cerning the land and naval forces
of the United States, while half
dozen seamen from the submarine
made repeated trips to the sinking
Actaeon and carried away all nau-
tical instruments and such stores
as they wanted.
The submarine captain, BordIey
declared, served him with wine and
cigarettes while questioning him,
and when he refused all informa-
tion threatened to keep him a pris-
oner on the submarine. When
Bordley persisted in his refusal the
captain dismissed him and his boat
was pushed off.
The Actaeon was formerly the
German ship Adamsturm, and was
interned in the harbor of Colon at
