Sonora Angeles Joins
Executed Husband,
Unknowing He Waits

New York, Dec. 7.-Senora Felipe
Angeles, wife of the Mexican revo-
lutionary leader, recently executed
by Carranza troops, died Sunday
without having been informed of her
husbands arrest and death. She
came here from Ell Paso three
months ago suffering from nervous
exhaustion caused by fear for her
husbands safety and gradually grew
worse.
At the time of General Angeles
execution, her condition was so
feeble that her friends deemed it
inadvisable to give her the news, and
she remained in ignorance to the
end. She leaves four children.
Sonora Angeles was 43 years old.

You can't keep happy people from
having a fairly good time under all
circumstances. There was longer
lingering over the Sunday papers, a
later dinner, perhaps, and longer
nap in the afternoon than usual
And then there were the talking
machines, thousands of them, grind
ing out entertainment. In the eve
ming, with the shades drawn (and
the temperature carefully regulated
at not more than .68 degrees), the
dance records were put on in many
homes and the rugs were rolled back
and there was plenty Ct terpsi-
chorean festivity.

things was totally different from the

A travelling man at the Fontenelle

German Minister of Defense

"PEACE NOW PRESENTED

Working Up Opinion in

London. Dec. 7.-(By The Asso-

lister of defense, is determined not to
sign the peace protocol handed Ger
many by the entente, and is resolved
to recommend that the government
adopt his attitude, come what may.
according to an interview with
Noske.
81 cannot speak for the whole gov
ernment because it has not yet come
to decision" said Noske. But I
shall recommend a refusal to sign
the peace treaty protocol"
THE limit has long been reached.
Let the allies occupy the country if
they like. The peace now presented
to us is not peace, but prolonga-
tion of the war.
"If we received such a treaty the
German nation would rise up and
avenge itself upon the men who
signed it, and it would be right,
Great Britain and France are delib-

"By deceit and trickery the Brit

the first treaty. We have yielded
too often and now must resist. Let

Asked whether he would resign if
the remainder of the government de-
cided to accept the allied terms.
Noske replied that he could not say
what he would do week hence, but
that his present position had been
deliberately adopted and was un-
alterable.
The correspondent says that, al
though Noske carefully emphasized
that he was only defining his own
position, his words agreed with the
intentions ascribed to the other
members Of the cabinet.
The two straws which Noske rep
resents as having broken the back
of German endurance, says the cor
respondent, are the demand for dock
and harbor material and the pro-
tocol empowering the allies to en-
force the execution of the peace
treaty. The correspondent says that
