Approves Separate Reply.

The writer welcomes President Will
sons decision to send separate reply
to Austria-Hungary. and in this in
Itention says:
"A single reply would have been to
sanction their alliance, which was one
of the principal causes of the war and
the destruction of which is one of the
Essential conditions CT peace"
The original English text of Presi-
'dent Wilson's reply to the Germa n
mote was printed by the Temps yes
terday. This is the first instance in
which such a thing has been done by
la French newspaper
La Liberte says that the clearness
of President Wilson's reply to Ger
many is such that it will rejoice the
allies, because it fulflls the desires
of ALL
Intransigeant says it is clear and
magnificent reply, inspired by right,
Justice and humanity, and would only
be weakened by comment. ''1f it
closes the door to the present German
directors as negotiators, it leaves it
open to the German people,"

HIGH WATER
 DURING WEEK

The warm weather together with the rainfall last week precipitated the snow of the mountains into the valleys with such rapidity that one of the greatest floods known to this community resulted. At Flat about thousand feet of the tram track was washed out of place, and the bridge was damaged. The bridge over the slough opposite Flat City was destroyed. The Y. G. Go. s dredge has been shut down since last Saturday. This was caused by the power plant being flooded-a maximum of 24 feet in the boiler houses. All the inhabitants except the Moore family, who are marooned in the upper story of the big building, were compelled to come to Iditarod At Flat both the mess and bunk houses are flooded. Only the thawing crew continued at work. On tFriday of last week the Wenchell cabin was flooded and Mrs. Wenchell had to ford the rising water on horseback to higher ground,
 John Bagoy, the Flat City gardener, suffered irreparable loss, and the family had to abandon their home.
 At Otter the two dredges continued to work, experiencing, however, con- siderable difficulty in reaching bedrock in the deep water. The thawing crew of the Beaton- -Donnelley dredge had to be laid off.

BILL WILLIAMS HURT

William Williams met with very painful injury Wednesday morning. His cabin across the river being flooded he had been lodging aboard one of the launches on the waterfront. While at tempting to climb from his bunk he misjudged his footing and fell. His head struck the railing of the opposite bunk with such force that the bone in his nose cut through the flesh and his upper lip was badly cut. With these two great gashes in his face he had the grit to walk out to Flat for medical treatment. Mir. Williams is now at the Reed hospital

BOOTLECCERS TO LOSE MACHINES

Denver, May 3.-Hereafter, the auto mobile in which is found liquor illicitly br ought into the state through use of that automobile must suffer seizure and sale, as provided by the law concerning vehicles used in such transportation, city officials have announced. The an nouncement, the said, is called forth by the fact that many automobiles ''caught" by officers with cargoes of
 illicit liquor aboard turned out to be the property of friends of owners of the liquor, who "borrowed" them to bring intoxicant with the cognzance of their owners.
 Thirteen cars now are under seizure by city officers in connection with li- quor mportations. It is expected they will be offered for sale soon.

 These liues were first published in l485, before the discovery of America, and before any of the discoveries and inventions mentioned therein. All the events predicted have come to pass ex- cept that in the last 1.-two lines. Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Waters shall yet more wonders do, Now strange, yet shall be true. The world upside down shall be, And gold be found at root of tree. Through hills man shall ride, And no horse nor ass be at his side. Under water man shall walk, Shall ride, shall sleep. shall talk. In the air men shall be seen In white, in black, in green. Iron in the water shall float, As easy as wooden boat. Gold shall be found 'mid stone, In a land that's now unknown. Fire and water shall wonders do. England shall at last admit Jew. And this world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

Is Asked By Judge
Who Heard The Case
Organized Labor Considering
Strike Action On Behalf
OF Condemned.

San Francisco, Nov21.-A letter
from Judge Franklin A. Griffin, who
tried and sentenced Thomas j. Mooney
to Governor Stephens, asking that
Mooney be given new tritl because
Of evidence of fraud conspiracy
against him, was made public here to-
day. The letter was written Novem-
Der 10. Mooney was convicted of muir
der in connection with bomb ex-
plosion here and is to be hanged De-
cember 13.
Commenting on his previous plea
to U. S. Weeb, Attorney General of the
State, that Mooney be retired, Judge
Griffin said in the letter.
u believed then that simple justice
and fair play demanded such action.
and from that position l have never
for moment receded. On the con
trary, that stand has been by later de-
velopments greatly strengthened"
In the letter Judge Griffin charac-
terized as open to attack the testi-
mony of Frank G. Oman, Durkee
(Ore.) cattleman; Mrs. Nellie Edan
and her daughter Sadie and John Nc
Donald.
Defense attorneys had contended
that the testimony of these witnesses
was subject to impeachment, and in
Oxman's case perjury had been COM
mitted
'.The situation of Mooney is that he
stands condemned to death upon evi-
dence concerning the truth of which to
say the least, there has arisen a very
grave doubt" the letter said.
"The highest courts in the State and
nation have declared themselves to be
without power to relieve him. Upon
the shoulders of the Chief Executive
therefore rests this great responsible
| ity"
A strike resolution was promulgated
by the local machinists' lodge today
and the announcement made that the
San Francisco Labor Council would
meet tomorrow night to consider
strike action IN behalf of Thomas J
Mooney. The machinists' resolution

that the 'aoor council place the matter

MACHIN SITS

Hamilton Lodge No. 241, Machin-
lists Union, met in regular session
Wednesday night and transacted much
routine business. Several matters of
great Importance to the organization
were discussed and disposed of. A
large number of applicants were ini-
tiated. A number of new applications
were read. Business agents of the
organization from the cities of Akron
and Alliance, Ohio are in the city seek
ing a large number of machinists for
several firms in those cities at good
wages. 1t is hoped that the manufac-
turers of Hamilton will wake up to
the fact that they are liable to loose
some of their best mechanics and not
wait, as they did at the beginning of
the time when this country went into
war, until many of our best men were
persuaded to go to other towns and
then try to get them back again. We
are about to enter a great prosperous
era of peace industrial conditions
when expert mechanics will be much
in demand.
Hamilton has the best in the land
and it is up to the manufacturer to
hold them.

Washington. Nov. Ex-senator
Watson of Indiana announced today
tina, ne will address the senate next
Thursday on the action OF the presi-
dent In taking over the control OF
the cable systems. In his speech he
intends to criticise this action upon
the ground that the ending of the
war made IL unnecessary.
At the conference of the Republic
cans today Senator Watson FOR
ousfy denounced the taking over OF,
the cables. He declared that the
purpose of government control was
To facilitate a strict censorship over
all the news coming from the peace
conference. He said that George
Crcel, chairman of the committee
on public information, intended to
go abroad with staT of his assist
ants and that through the control
of the cables IL would be impossible
for newspaper correspondents TO
get through any news of the con-
ference unless IL was sanctioned by
the Creci bureau. He expressed the
fear also that the jurisdiction over
the cables would be employed to
spread propa gandn fayora biz to GER
tain interests at the peace table and
that accurate news regarding what
tho peace conference do will not be
allowed to reach this country.
Senator Watson said that In hts
speech next Thursday he would re-
peat these things TO the senate.
