WAR OVER BUT FOR
 RUSSIAN COLLAPSE
 STATES BONAR LAW

LONDON, March S.-In his address to the house of commons yesterday, Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, speaking of the military situation, said the dropping out of Russia deeply affected every theater of war except that in the German colonies, out of which the Germans had been driven. The only remain ing force in the field was one of 1000 of which only 200 were Ger man. now wandering in Portuguese East Africa.
 Rumania, through the failure of Russia, the chancellor pointed out, had been put into a position little less than tragic. At present, he said, peace negotiations were proceeding between Rumania and the central powers and it would not be right to go further than to reiterate the sympathy felt for the Rumanian peo- pie and the regret that conditions absolutely beyond allied control rend- cred it impossible to go to her as- sistance.
 Referring to Mesopotamia and Palestine, the chancellor said he doubted whether it ever had been plausible to carry out decisive op- erations by means of troops trans ferred by sea.

GERMAN INDUSTRIES LIKELY ID BECOME
 AMERICAN PROPERTY
GRepubllean A. ?. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, March I-Legisla- ton enabling the government to place in American hands permanently great German commercial and industrial concerns in this country which have been instruments in spreading the grip of German kultur was favOrably re- ported to the senate today by the ap- proprations committee. It is in the form of an amendment to the pending urgent deficiency bill, empowering the alien property custodian to sell any en- cmy property taken over by his office.
 The committee also approved an- other amendment giving the president authority recently asked for by him to acquire by purchase or title the great piers of the Hamburg American and the North German Lloyd steamship lines at Hoboken, N. J.
 In statement tonight explaining the purpose of the new power sought, A. Mitchell Palmer, the alien property custodian, said.
 Power under the law is restricted now to cases where it is necessary to sell in order to prevent waste and pro- tect the property. The proposed amendments will largely extend this power and make it possible for the alien property custodian to convert in- to cash enemy interests in this country. The Hamburg American and North German Lloyd docks are owned by New Jersey corporations in which the stock is entirely enemy owned and has been turned over to the alien property cus- todian who is placing his representa- tives on the board of directors of those companies.
 There is no thought or purpose of changing the character of the ordinary investment in America of the enemy subject residing in enemy territory Such investments will be continued as at present except when necessary to prevent waste or protect the property when sales may take place.
 If the amendments reported by the senate appropriations committee shall become law, the power of sale will only be exercised by the alien property cus- todian in cases similar to that of the steamship lines"

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CORPUS CHRISTI, March S.Thirty armed Mexicans last night raided the Tom East ranch, 35 miles south of Hebronville, according to a message received here today. Food supplies and the sheriffs automobile were in- cluded in the loot. The armed Mexi- cans surrounded the ranch house while the family and Oscar Thompson. sher- if of the county, were at supper. No shots were fired.
 Five of 30 Mexican bandits who raided the Tom East ranch. south of Hebronville, last night, have been killed by posses headed by Texas rangers and thirteen others of the band have been located and will be "ac- counted for before daylight" accord ing to message received here late tonight from Hebronville. None of the possemen were injured.
 Two of the bandits were killed dur '-inS the day, the message said, and three were shot when rangers encoun- tered sixteen of the Mexicans fifty miles southwest of Hebronviile while they were making a dash for the Ric Grande.
 The Mexicans, who obtained large quantities of food supplies, an auto. mobile and other loot at the Eas ranch, cut telephone wires and tn, raid was not reported until today.

own superiority,
 "So far I have considered the posi- tion without taking America into ac- count" said the chancellor. But America is the last factor that ought to be left out of the account. The United States is nation of hun dred million people and with the larg- est resources in the world. Its value depends upon the success of our opera tions at sea, which will enable those | resources to be brought to the use Of | the allies.
 Disappointed in Ships | "We have been disappointed with the results of ship building this month. There is nothing more vital in this war than what is done in two directions the building of ships and the destroy l ing of submarines. It had been an- ticipated by the admiralty that there would be at the end of the second quarter of this year new construction that would more than equalize losses. There is a fear that this is not now possible so soon, but it is not doubted, | think, that it is coming.
 Mir. Bonar Law said that, from the viewpoint of staying power in the war, once the equilibrium was established, every week meant improvement m
 favor of the entente allies and in- creased their ability to bring American resources to play an important part in the war. Looking with what he be- lieved to be the facts in the situation, he had no doubt whatever that if the allies held together they would be able
 to secure the results they set out to achieve when the war began. Unless
 peace and security for the future were obtained and the German people were taught that war did not pay, peace, ha said would be a defeat for the allies.
 Tt was said to me by an ally re- gently that he had been told the spirit
 of England is weakening, but do not believe it"

cellor continued, i've did not have sufficient number of trained troops to move, and now the tonnage posi- tion has made it impossible to move very large forces in that way"
 These operations, however, MT Bonar Law contended, had resulted in degree of success of which the country could feel proud and of which the capture of Jerusalem was the continuation. That event was not the end, he said, but he could not say what the plans were for the future.
 In his remarks about the Saloniki sector. the chancellor said it was not difficult to justify the Saloniki ex- petition, but for the position the allies were now holding, Constantine would still be on the throne of Greece and the whole country would be overrun by the Germans, who would have been able to control the Balkans from all sides. This would have been great access of strength, he pointed out. while the Greek harbors would also have been at the disposal of enemy submarines and it would up communications with the east. Collapse Prolongs War
 Turning to the west, MT. Bonar Law said it might have been ex- pected that but for the Russian col lapse the war would have been over year ago in favor of the allies What had happened in Russia was a l terrible sblow to the allies, but he asked that it be looked at for a moment from German point ot view When the war broke out, he continued, Russia was militarily the strongest enemy Germany had tc face. Now Russia had dropped out but despite this, Germany was not

LONDON, March s-An air raid last night appears to have been car rled out by seven or eight enemy alrplanes. of which two reached Lon don. The first two raiders ap- poached the Isle of Thanet at about lO:55 p. m. and proceeded up the Thames estuary. Both were turned back before reaching London.
 Meanwhile the third raider came across the Essex coast at 11:20 D. m. and steered west. At 11:45 D. m. it was reported over East London, A few minutes later it dropped bombs on the southwestern and northwest ern districts. At 11:5O D. m. the fourth raider, which had also come in across Essex, dropped bombs to the north of London and then pro- ceeded south across the capital, drop ping it's remaining bombs on the northern districts between 12:2O and 12:3O a. m. The remaining enemy machines, all of which came across the Essex coast, were turned back before they reached London.

she was looking.
 As to Russia herself, the chancellor thought that from every point Of view, there was justification in think ing Germany would not be able to exploit her. The way Germany was treating her, he continued, could not fail to create an intense feeling of hostility throughout Russia, while the victory of the central powers would mean the absolute loss of any hope
 of a free Russia.

AMSTERDAM, Thursday. March 7.- Official announcement is made in Ber- lin of the signing today of peace treaty between Finland and Germany.
 Article i declares that no state Of war exists between Germany and Fin land; that the contracting parties are resolved henceforth to live in peace and friendship and that Germany will exert herself to secure recognition by all the powers of Finland's autonomy and independence. On the other hand, Finland will cede no portion of her ter r1tory to foreign power nor grant such power any easement on territory over which she is sovereign without previously coming to an understanding with Germany on the subject. The following articles relate to the resumption of diplomatic and consular relations immediately after the ratifi- cation of the peace treaty; renuncia- tion by each party of compensation for war costs and indemnities; restoration | or state treaties and private rights; exchange of prisoners of war, and 1n- termed civilians and compensation for civil damages.
 Those treaties between Germany and Russia which have ceased to be oper- ative will be replaced by new treaties corresponding to the altered conditions.

 Finnish prisoners of war in Ger many, and German prisoners in Fin land will be exchanged with all possible dispatch and deported or interned civil nationals on either side sent home.
 It is stipulated that Notifications on the Aland islands be removed as speedily as possible and the permanent on-fortification of the islands regu- lated by special agreement.
 Instruments of ratification are to be exchanged in Berlin a.s soon as pos sible.

BARGE LINES UPON RIVERS AND CANALS
 MAY HELP TRAFFIC

WASHINGTON, March S.-President Wilson was urged by a large delega- tion of senators and representatives today to have a part of the half bil- lion dollar revolving fund carried by the railroad control bilf used for es- tablishing barge lines on rivers and canals to provide cheap transporta- ton and relieve railroad congestion.
 Later the suggestions were submitted to Secretary McAdoo, director general of railroads.
 Under the railroad bill about to be acted upon in congress, provision is made for expenditures out of the re- volving fund for developing waterway transportation. The president and Mir. McAdoo were urged to make use of this authority immediately, stress being laid upon the opportunity offered on the Mississippi Missouri, Ohio. Black Warrior and Tombigbee rivers and the Erie and Chesapeake and Delaware canals.
 Secretary McAdoo explained that he will not adopt any general policy of utilizing the canals and navigable riv- CTS until he receives a report from a special committee headed by Major General W. M Black. chief of engi- neers, appointed to study waterways transportation and to make recom- mendations on the utilization of the waterways in connection with rail- roads.

 and Tom Sisson, former United States soldier, who participated in Indian campaigns in Arizona and an ex-con- vict took to the mountains. Posses were soon formed and took up the chase that led back and forth over Graham and Cochise counties, lasting three weeks and winding in and out of the Chiricahua mountains, one of the most inaccessible sections of the con- tinental divide.
 Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler of Cochise county pursued the trail day after day, at times only a few hours behind the fugitives. With him went score of posse men. while around the mountain range for a distance of fifty miles were strung the thousand civilians and sol- diers. Sheriff Wheeler and his posses finally were forced to abandon the trail on account of a heavy fall of snow in the mountains.
 United States troops sent out from Douglas were called in and few days ago cavalrymen from Hachita, N. M, took up the chase when it was reported the fugitives were attempting to cross into Meyico.

BRIGHTON, Colo. March S.-Jacob Fineberg, proprietor of the Model road house. testifying today at the trial of Frank H. Mulligan, former city detect i've. told of. making an appointment with Mulligan and Philip Cohen, on the prairies near Denver to negotiate the return of diamonds valued at s3,40Q which were stolen in a holdup from Mrs. Irene Nolan at the road house the morning of January ? last.

They were ushered into a private din- ing room where they were when he left the place at about 5:15 or 30 o'clock in the morning. Burke in his testimony yesterday said the robbery occurred shortly before ' o'clock. Burke. who lost his watch in the holdup, was re- lieved of his parish in Denver by Bish- op John J. Tihen when the affair be- came known.
 Giving Back Diamonds
 Concerning the appointment for the return of the diamonds, Fineberg tes- tified:
 T met Cohen at the end of the Twenty-fifth avenue car line about Il o'clock in the morning. Mulligan took me out at my request. The day before 1 met Mulligan and I asked him if he knew anything about tns diamonds, as I wanted them back.
 don't know anything about them Mulligan replied. Why don't you see Cohen or Dip" Evans" Then Cohen Mulligan and I the next morning met on the prairie where we arranged the blow back"
