POWERS STAND FIRM
Veterans of the Civil War, both Con-
federate and Federal, will be entertain-
ed at New Year’s dinner by the Katie
Daffan Chapter, U. D. G>, the dinner to
be served at the city hall. Invitation
from the Chapter to Sul Ross Camp No.
129, U. C. V., was extended formally at
the meeting of the camp Sunday after-
noon, and accepted by the camp.
The camp session was attended by a
fair crowd of members and an inter-
esting session held with Commander G.
P. Davis in the chair. Adjutant Alex W.
Robertson recording the proceedings
and Chaplain J. W. Curtis opening the
services with prayer. An interesting
feature was the reading of an editorial
from the Fort Worth Record, replying
to the recent Chicago Tribune editorial
attacking the South, and the camp not
only endorsed the sentiments expressed
in the Fort Worth paper, but passed a
vote of thanks and a resolution asking
that the Confederate Veteran publish
it in the columns of the official organ
-of the Veterans.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The State
Department today received a message
from the American consul at Tunis
giving the substance of an affidavit
from one Guigeppe Torrisso, an Ancona
survivor, to the effect that the Ancona
was attacked simultaneously by two
submarines, one on each side. The one
on the port side sank her.

SHANGHAI, China. Dec. f>.—Outbreaks
of small bands of rebels within twenty-<
four hours have been put down by the I
authorities, and they apparently have '
the situation under control. The Chi-1
nese cruiser Chao-Ho was seized ves-I
her to .lump. It was only a minute be-
fore he learned that she had escaped
and ttie entire building was afire- by
that time so that it was impossible for
him to go near it to save anything. The
family escaped from the house with
only the clothes on their backs and a
chair carried out by one of the little
girls was all that was saved.
The quick work of the fire depart-
ment saved the house of Z. T. Kerley
on the north of the burned building
and the home of J. M Magill on the
south. The Kerley home was damaged
considerably by the paint scorching.
The Magill home suffered the heaviest
damage and would probably have burn-
ed had there been any more wind.
Fourteen window glasses on the side
nearest the burning house were crack-
ed and broken by the heat and the paint
and woodwork on the side and roof of
the house was badly damaged,
damage to the Magill and the
homes is covered by insurance,

LONDON, Dec. 6.—Field Marshal___
Hindenburg, in an interview, according
to a British dispatch, says that Ger-
many's enemies are not xpt sufficiently
Mattered to desire peace, and that Ger-
many therefore will continue to press
them desperately, particularly in the
east. He says England, Italy and Ser-
bia are the main ones who must be
punished.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Dec. 6.—With the
Villa forces badly disorganized by a se-
ries of defeats, the Carranza authorities
are striving to establish the wherea-
bouts of Gen. Villa himself and Carran-
za cavalry is combing this section of
Mexico for him. The last reliable re-
ports were that Villa with 2,500 mount-
ed men was moving south with the ap-
parent intention of seeking, refuge in
the Yaqui Indian country. Villa forces
drove the Carranza garrison out of El
Tigre, a mining camp largely populated
by Americans, and the town was looted.

LONDON, Dec. 6.—There was no
change in the Balkan situation today.
Both Greece and the entente powers ap-
parently are standing firm.
Russian troops concentrated on the
Roumanian frontier so far as is known
have not yet been moved toward the
Balkans.
The retreat of the Serbians into Al-
bania is described as having assumed
the proportions of precipitate flight, ac-
cording to a Berlin report.
Vienan reports that Montenegrins, on
the northern front, have been repulsed
after violent lighting. Other fronts are
quiet today.
A Russian ukase ordered the enroll-
ment of the army class of 1917 for next
year, one year in advance of the ordi-
nary time.
PARIS, Dec. 6.—Former Premier Veni-
zelos, under the date of Nov. 12, issued
a manifesto in the name of the liberal-
ist party to the Greek people advising
them not to vote in the forthcoming
general election. The Greek govern-
ment prevented the transmission of the
manifesto by telegraph, but it was re-
ceived today by mail.
Venizelos calls attention to the fact,
in the manifesto, that the internal cri-
sis wap brought about solely by the
wresting of power from the people to
whom it had been confided by the re-
sult of the last general election.
“Day by day,” says the manifesto,
“the constitution is deformed into a
simple scrap of paper, and we find our-
servel at present daily deviating from
our policies as a constitutional regime.”
The former premier points out the
entire absence of an excuse or reason
for an appeal to the people for the sec-
ond time within a few months amid
the confusion of war.
Mose Appreciative Audience
Attended C. I. A. Sacred Concert
PARIS, Dec. C>— A statement by Al-
bert Thomas, under secretary of war,
here yesterday is attracting wide at-
tention because it is the first official
statement from France on the peace
question. He said:
“There will hr no |u*a<>e until the
Alsace-Lorraine provinces are re-
stored to bring about the former
unity of France. There will be no
peace until our unfortunate brother
Belgians and Serbians are assured
beyond a doubt of the recovery of
their homes and property in secur-
ity and independence. There will
be no peace until German imperial-
ism and Prussian militarism are put
beyond all possibility of resurrec-
tion: nintil a system of right found-
ed on the victorious union of the
allies, supported by the benevolent-
ly neutral countries have abolished
forever the violence of war.
“Whatever may be the sacrifice,,
the French unit will go steadily
forward to accomplish this
Justice and liberty have only-
road. and that road now lies
machine guns and cannon.”
The statement derives special
fieance from the fact that in addition
to his connection with the cab
Thomas was at one time leader of
terday'by forty rebels, but was aban-1
<loned this morning after she had been j
shelled and set afire. The first report1
was that Hie Chang-Ho crew tiad mu- ;
tinied. Developments today however, '
the bombardment of other cruisers and
the arsenal carried on under the leader-I
ship of the rebels, who had surprised'
and overpowered the crew of Hie Chao- !
Ho. proved differently.
Three men of the cruiser’s crew were !
killed and five wounded, and attacks on ;
the arsenal and police station during;
the nigtit were repulsed, one policeman l
being killed. A number of shots
on the foreign settlement but did
tie harm. Forty rebels, armed with
volvers and bombs, had boarded
cruiser Chao-Ho Sunday from e launch j
and threatened to kill the crew unless
they obeyed orders instantly. The !
launch was carrying the flag of the I
Chinese admiralty. The rebels were |
unable to use the heavy guns, as an '
officer of the cruiser threw overboard !
the keys to the magazine containing I
six- and four-inch shells. They,used
smaller guns, however. The throwing;
away of the keys probably saved ttie ar-
senal and the foreign settlement of j
Shanghai serious damage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Ambassador
Bamstorff today asked the State De-
partment for its reasons for asking the I
withdrawal of Captain Boy-Ed ami Von !
Papen. It was stated that Germany i
under no circumstances would ask the
United States for their safe conduct, j
because Germany feels it is incumbent!
on the Vnited States to see them safe-
ly on German territory and bring their ,
successors here. j
The German ambassador's action!
came as a surprise, because under dip-
lomatic usage it is only necessary for i
the United States to indicate that the
attaches were persona non grata with- |
out giving any reason.
If the United Slates’ reply to today's j
request says (hat other incidents than ,
the Archibald and Hamburg-American !
lines cases were considered in asking!

are the irresistable magnates that
draws the crowds to this store.
A most appreciative audience, com-
prising many townspeople, attended the
Sacred concert at C. I. A. Sunday after-
noon at which the musical faculty in-
troduced Miss Jennie Barry of Sherman,
a distinctly talented young lyric so-
prano, who gave the opening number
and several others from Gluck opera
and from other early composers.
Miss Helen Norfleet made a very
interesting talk on the early composers,
including those of the sixteenth, sev-
enteenth and early eighteenth centuries,
giving a short sketch of Kluck and the
work he did for early Italian opera,
with the musical reforms he instituted.
Miss Barry then sang the aria “I have
lost my Eurydice," from Gluck’S opera,
“Orpheus,” rendering it most beauti-
fully. Miss Norfleet gave the Pavotte
of Iphigenia in Aulis (Gluck-Brahms)
and Caprice on aris from Alceste
(Gluck-St. Saens), two beautifully ren-
dered compositions. The aria “Nina”
from Peigolesi, played by Miss Tietze,
was a composition from the same per-
iod as the others, and was exceptionally
well interpreted. Miss Tietze also gave
in the group the Tambourine and Roil
Call of the Birds, .which, with "The
Hen," given by Miss Norfleet, typically
realistic compositions of the period, are
both by Rameau.
Before the fourth group Miss Nor-
fleet talked about the style of the
pianos of that day, their not being of
full tone as the instruments of the
present day, for which reason
compositions written for theme were
light, tinkling, and with turns ____
embellishments to fill out the music.
Miss Norfleet talked of the folk songs,
given in the next group, as the out-
growth of the natural life of the peo-
ple. Miss Barry then sang an old
French song of which the composer is
unknown, another by Bishop, “Love
Has Eyes,” a Pastorale, by Carey, and
“The Lass with the Delicate Air” by
Arne.
Miss Norfleet gave “An Irish Tune"
and “Shepherd’s Hey’’ by Percy Gran-
ger.

Mr. Bailey could give no cause for it

hardly probable that it could have been
that. The fire started, in the closet un-

WASHINGTON, Dee. fi.—Congress as-
sembled at noon today in probably the
most important session for a genera-
tion. The proceedings were brief, and
real work is to begin tomorrow. Champ
Clark of Missouri was re-elected speak-
er of the House, white J. P. Clarke of
Arkansas was re-elected president pro
tern of the Senate.
Speaker Clark predicted in his open-
ing address that the amazing growth of
the United States, and the enormous
busienss growing daily within her
hounds will presently demand that Con-
gress remain in practically perpetual
session. ’
Bills poured into the House, National
defense measure dominating, while hills
opposing national defense were not
lacking. A petition brought on woman
suffrage by Moore of California mys-
teriously disappeared just before it was
planned to introduce it into the House.
The petition was 18,000 feet long and
contained 5<H),(IIN) names of voters in
suffrage states. Another petition, how-
ever, was presented by Representative
Mandell of Wyoming.
Thirty-two new Senators were sworn
in. Both branches of Congress sent
committees to notify President Wilson
that Congress was -in session, and ad-
journed for the day.
SUFFRAGE DEMONSTRATIONS.
There were demonstrations by suf-
fragists and a big parade preceded the
presentation of ttie woman suffrage pe-
tition by Representative Mandell. Later
on ”00 women met President Wilson in
the White House.
The President also received 100 Tex-
as democrats who are here in an ef-
fort to take Hie national democratic
convention to Dallas.
.lust how the woman suffrage peti-
tion became lost is not known. If
Tound, it will tie presented to Congress
later.
Senate republicans met in caucus
here today with the assurance of a
united membership for the first time
since Hie organization of ttie Progres-
sive party. Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire was re-elected chairman of
Hie conference and as floor leader Sena-
tor Poindexter, former progressive, from
Washington state joined the republican
deliberations.
