Buenos Aires Friday March 1
Two persons were killed ;uid sev-
eral others wounded during lighting
today between troops and strikers
at two points on the Pacific rail-
way. The strike was declared a few
days ago without warning shortly
after another strike which affected
the line had been brought to an end
by President Jrigoyen.
Destruction of property has been
in progress ever since the men quit
work.
Operation of the international
tri. s between Argentina and Chile
has been rendered impossible by
the strike and the overland wires
which carry forward the cable lines
from the United States by way of
Valparaiso Chile have been cut.
The government is expected to
take drastic action as the strikers
are held in contempt of the presi-
dent's recent decree ordering the
men to continue working until the
government had arbitrated their dif-
ferences with the railway.

face trial by court martial as a re-
sult of an investigation oT hospital
conditions at Camp Doniphan
Okla. prompted by the death there
of Private Albert ilestwood of Lib-
eral Kan. Ilestwood succumbed
to spinal meningitis.
The courtmartial was ordered
yesterday by Secretary l'.aker after
the report of the investigating of-
ficer had been received.
Public notice was attracted to
camp conditions when Senator
Chamberlain during the course of
a speech in the senate read a letter
written by Private Hcst wood's fath-
er to a friend. The latter told of
unclean hospital conditions and of
having his son's body sent home
wrapped in sheets.
The investigation holds Major
Connelly responsible for hospital
conditions which are characterized
as "nothing short of deplorable."
Lieut. Kirkpatrick was the first
medical officer to examine Private
Ilestwood and is charged with hav-
ing sent the soldier to the hospital
without making known the fact that
he suspected spinal meningitis.

service she agreed to pay $5 and
gave the money to one of the car
drivers who were Pat Doyle and
"Candy" Kenfro. Shortly after
leaving the city it is alleged these
men made improper proposals to
her and on being repulsed they told
her they could not afford to go to
Mulkey for so small a sum as $5
returned her money and brought
her back to town. It is asserted
that she employed another car
driver Lon Miller to take her to
Mulkey and started with him. At
a point near the llignight school-
house it is alleged he drove the car
to the side of the road repeated the
proposals made by the other men
and attacked her. She fought him
biting his cheek and scratching his
face. He became frightened and
turning the car around brought her
back to Ardmore. She was placed
in the care of Mrs. Buck Garrett

W"-.j .ngton March 2. Changes
in the pending administration water
power bill to more clearly express
the intent of the appropriation were
recommended today to Chairman
Sims of the house special water-
power committee by Secretaries Ba-
ker Lane and Houston who drew
up the measure. They urged speedy
passage of the bill so as to stabilize
the power industry generally and
encourage the building of exten-
sions to existing projects.
"Water power legislation" said
the letter from the secretaries
"should have in view not only the
maintenance of the rights of the
public in the national resources but
also the adequate protection of pri-
vate capital by which such resour-
ces are developed.
"It is particularly important that
the conditions which affect the dis-
positieni of the property at the ter-
mination of the license should be
definite that uncertainties will be
reduced to a minimum. If the prop-
erties are not taken over the con-
ditions under which a new license
may be secured should be entirely
clear. If the properties are taken
over the price to be paid should
not include alleged values not rep-
resented by investment or on the
other hand require needless amor-
tization of capital during the period
of the license in order to protect
the investment."

Vologda Russia Friday March
1. An example of the tendency be-

low the example of Moscow and de-
clare against a separate peace with
Germany anil for a light to the
limit of the revolution is furnished
by the action of the council of sol-
diers' and workmen's delegates at
Penza some 350 miles southeast of
Moscow. This council has declined
to approve the signing of a peace
treaty with the central powers and
has declared for a holy war. The
council of Narva by a vote of 40 to
18 called for a general mobilization
and against a separate peace.
General mobiilzation orders have
been issued in Kazan province. In
these orders all the Soviets are
urged to light Germany to the bit-
ter end. Similar action has been
taken by the councils at Veronezh
in south-central Russia and in oth-
er cities.
In Moscow the Social Dernokrat
the bolshevik organ declared on
I hursday :
"The Russian proletariat with all
its strength must dismiss any
thought of a disgraceful surrender
of its aims and must rise to the
defense of the revolution. To arms!
Either death or ietorv!"
(By the Associated Press).
Vologda Russia March 1. The
interior of Russia following the ex-
ample of Moscow declares strongly

DUTCHMAN REPORTS
TO AMSTERDAM.
Amsterdam March 2. The Nicti-
we Roltenlamsche Courant prints a
long interview with a "personage
who returned recently from a
week's visit to Berlin" where lie
talked with a number of prominent
persons including Baron von IV m j
iussciie-l laddcnliausen under sec-
retary for foreign affairs; Doctor
Drews Prussian minister of the in-
terior; Doctor Solf minister for
colonies and Lieutenant General
Von Stein Prussian minister of
war.
The consensus of opinion the vis-
itor gathered was that the greatest
dilliculty in arriving at peace nego-
tiations is that Germany dare not
or will not relinquish any military
advantage unless certain that peace
negotiations have a change of suc-
cess. He adds:
"They agreed perfectly for in-
stance with my objections against
bombing London admitted that for
the sake of peace it were better
they stopped. Yet they said the
raids must continue for military
reasons."
Among other things the visitor
apparently a Dutchman said:
"I had occasion to meet several
members of the American colony.
To my surprise the Americans in
Berlin enjoy the greatest freedom.
They are quite satisfied with their
treatment and apparently are pos-
sessed of sufficient means to live in
the comfortable sl..- to which they
have been accustomed. No objec-
tion swers raised against the speak-
ing of English by them in hotels
and rest-iurants neither do the
waiters object to speaking English
with their American cusiomers."
SAYS AMERICANS
IN BERLIN JOYFUL
WAR SUMMARY
Berlin March 2. (British Ad-
miralty per Wireless Press). In a
German attack northeast of Seiche-
prey yesterday the Americans suf-
tered heavily and lost twelve pris -
oners the wartfiee announces.
Peace negotiations between the
Germans and the bolshevik govern-
ment apparently have been broken
olf again. Resumption of the Ger-
man forward movement and the (net
that the Russian peace emissaries
have asked that a train under mi
itary guard be sent to meet them
near Pskov indicates that Teutonic
aggression has not yet been satiated.
The bolsheviki are making stren-
uous prepaations to meet the Ger-
man advance and Premier Lenine
is sending forth proclamations urg-
ing all Russians to save the revo-
lution. Moscow and the interior
of Russia have declared against a
separate peace and the local coun-
cils in the interior are making ready
to resist the invaders.
Bolsheviki Wrecking Bridges.
Belated dispatches from Petro-
grad say the bolsheviki are destroy-
ing strategic railways bridges and
roads and are sending large forces
to the fighting front.
The Germans are said to be with-
in 80 miles of Petrograd on the
southwest and are approaching Or-
sha on the same meridian of longi-
tude as Petrograd and 300 miles
west of Moscow.
Vitebsk 75 miles north of Orsha
also is threatened.

DISTEMPER AMONG
HORSES SPREADS
BRIEF STATEMENT AS
TO
METHODS OF TREAT-
MENT ISSUED.
Columbia Wo March 2. The
attention of the college of agricul-
ture of the University of Missouri
has been called to the fact that dis-
temper is prevalent among horses
throughout the country. Prof. F.
A. Trowbridge of the department
of animal husbandry has prepared
the following statement on the dis-
ease :
"One of the greatest cases of loss
iinong horses in the United States
is the disease known as influenza
or distemper. This disease seems
to occur in a variety of forms and
with varying severity. Practically no
class of horses is immune. Its most
serious inroads are noticed among
horses that are being shipped from
one point to another and lre-
quently through large market cen-
ters and among young horses on
farms.
"Vaccinal ion and other treat-
ments have been given but there
seems to be some cases that refuse
to yield to treatment. Army offi-
cials tell us that in their experience
vaccination except against "stran-
gles." is of little avail.
"Data has recently been secured
by the quartermaster department of
the army which is interesting. The
number of horses owned by the
army has been increased since the
outbreak of the war from Oft 144 to
more than 350.IXIO.
"A careful record has been kept
of the number of deaths among
horses owned by the army for six
weeks beginning Dec. 8. Up to
that time the ordinary precautions
had been taken to prevent the de-
velopment of intluenza but from
that date active effort was made to
see that all cars stock yards sta-
bles and other quarters in which
horses were confined were properly
disinfected. During that six weeks'
period the losses dropped from 52-
100 per cent to 21-100 per cent
weekly.

Americans Whip Enemy.
American soldiers on the firing
line in Franri h:ivi m-t tin. innmi
'j"1"3" "shock" troops for the first
time and have outfought them. In
two sectors northwest of Toul and
along the Chemiii des Dames the
Germans failed in attempts to pene-
trate the positions held by the
Americans.
The fight northwest of Toul re-
sulted in a desperate hand-to-hand
struggle. The Germans reached
the American line only to be driven
back with heavy losses. German
dead were found in the American
trenches and many enemy bodies
were scattered over No Man's
Land. An American captain a
West Point graduate of 1917 was
killed in a gallant exploit. When
the Germans reached the American
position he led a party out in front
of the wire entanglements and at-
tacked the enemy from the rear as
he retreated.
No decision has yet been reached
as to Japanese intervention in Si-
beria. Negotiations between the al-
lied governments are proceeding.
According to a London report Ja-
pan has been requested to do all
that is necessary to guard allied in-
terests in the far east. This has
not been confirmed officially.

Statement Given Out in London by
Mikado's Officials Show That
German Advance Is Menace to
Security of East.
London Friday March 2. Ren-
ter's Limited has procured the fol
lowing statement from an important
'Japanese quarter in London:
"Japan has put forward no sug-
gestions regarding any action that
may be necessary as a result of the
Russian situation. The plain facts
are that a few days ago Japan ad-
dressed inquiries to the allied gov-
ernments asking for an expression
of their views on the latest develop-
ments in Russia. There has been
no proposal military or otherwise
by Japan.
"It is pointed out that Japan did
not enter the war under any terms
or agreements with the allies which
would suggest I hat there had been
my question of aggrandizement in
the
mind of lapan. There was no
such thought when Japan embark-
ed on hostilities and if she has to
extend operations her object will
not be aggrandizement.
"The new menace is one directly
threatening the bar Kast and imme-
diately involving Japan's security.
Japan's interpretation of her posi-
tion is that she is responsible for
the maintenance of peace and se-
curity in the bar Kast. A German
menace already exists in east Si-
beria and was well known to the
allies even before the latest Ger-
man advance into Russia."
WASHINGTON IS WATCHING.
Britain and France Want to Turn
Japan Loose.
Washington March 2. Although
indications today are that the Amer-
ican stale department is being stead-"
ily inlluenced to accept the allied
view that Japan alone can best deal
with the menace of German aggres-
sion in Siberia high officials in-
timated that any prediction of the
decision ol the American govern-
ment would be unsafe. Conditions
were changing so rapidly they said
and so many factors were contin-
ually entering the problem that the
United States would be faced by
new issues almost daily.
From the frequent exchanges be-
tween the entente governments anil
W ashington it is understood Great
Britain and France and possibly
Italy believe an efficient army and
navy within reach of Siberia and
not otherwise engaged and acting
in conformity with a general agree-
ment might be better able to deal
with the situation than an interna-
tional force.
London March 2. The American
embassy this morning authorized a
denial of the statement of The Daily
News yesterday that Premier Lloyd
George had visited the embassy and
had an important conference with
Ambassador Page.
The Daily News said it believed
Mr. Lloyd George had gone to the
American embassy to see Mr. Page
in connection with the project for

Count James Minotto announced

qualified for service. "I feel abso-

investigation on the part of the
government can only prove my in-
nocence and will show that in any
thoughts or actions I have had
nothing but the most loyal and de-
voted feelings towards this country
which I consider my home and
where I have found all my happiness."
