Teutons Closing In Remorselessly Despite Heroic Resist
ance French Make Desperate Attack On Bulgars At
Vardar River and British Continue Attack On Strum

an Borders-Results of Fitting StilUn Doubt
Vionnn, Nov. 19. Nearly surroundei
iu the mountains bordering on Vobisai
liciir the Montenegrin bouriier. the shat
tered Herb ranks are malting their last
stand.
Itcmorselessly the central powers are
(losing in on the remnants, daily
gathering new tolls of prisoners. Indi
cations point to the capture of the
Serbs, though they are desperately try
ing to make their way into Montenegro
and Albania.
Bad weather, however, is hampering
the operations of the central allios and
their troops are suffering great hard
ships. Concerning the operations against tho
Russians, the war office emphasized the
significance of Austrian gains around
Cznrtorysk by picturing the burial of
a00 Russians and the finding of 400
fresh graves.
On the Itluian front feeble attacks
were reported, though indications of a
big battle at Goritz were passed with
the remark that tho town had again
been shelled.
Fighting ig Desperate. ,
Athens, Nov. 19. Allied troops
bravely tried today to distract the
Bulgnrs from tho Serbian campaign
whore thoy are sweeping everything
before them.
The French hurled strong groups
against the Bulgars on tho Vardar
Tivor. Already they have been some
what successful, but is feared here
that they are not numerous enough to
follow up their advantage. They have
repeatedly requested that reinforce
ments be sent them. Numerous forces
were reported to be at SJalonika, but
the problem of getting them to the
scene of the fighting in time makes
.the situation dubious. (
The Vardar river contest is raging
desperately. The Bulgars have been
driven across the stream by French
artillery which more than offset the
question of numbers.
Meantime, the British are still ham
mering at Strumnltza in a stubborn
battle.
While these struggles remain in
doubt, Serb refugees are streaming
ovet tlio Grecian boundary.
Throughout Heroin, their forces are
hard pressed. The central powers and
the Bulgars are sweeping the defend
ers rapidly out, and capturing thein in
fresh thousands daily.
Another Peace Move.

ment will issue passports permitting
Austro-Germnn cardinals to doss safe -

attend the consistory at tho Vatican in

This unexpected permission is re
garded as another straw in the peace
wind, nnd Is interpreted as meaning
that tho government knows of pence
plans by the vntlcuji.
Tho public is uncertnin how to ap
praise reports that the pope is about
to renounce elniins to the temporal
power as a nuans to securing the gov
ernment's permission to participate in

Tho government's Hjction indicates
that reports that Cardinal Unrtmnn of
Cologne is bringing pence suggestions
from Germany are given some weight.'

AUDIEHGE THAT
Demands National Prohibi
tion of the Sale of Alco
holic Liquors
FOUR OUT OF FIVE YOUNG
MEN ARE NOW DRINKERS
Senator Borah Only Real Big
Man Who Boldly Favors
Prohibition
Richmond P. ITobson, the actual lead
er of the prohibition forces in the
United Mates, delivered a strong ad-
ilress jast evening -at the armory to
an audience that completely filled the
armory and one tnat gave tho closest
attention to his arguments on what he
claimed was tho .most important ques
tion or uie age, nnu in met, the great
est question of all ages.
titing ' Kussia, france and England
as to what was now being accomplish
ed in the way of world-wide prohibi
tion, Mr. Hobson declared that even
now, the world wns looking to America
to take the leadership on liquor legis
lation.
"We have 18 decisions from the su
preme court of the Unitor States, that
wane a man nas an inherent right to
drink, he nas no rigljt to sell intoxi
cating liquors." '
Vviuiout annealing to the prejudices
or his audience, ho placed figures and
facts before- them to prove that the
liquor interests were damaging the
country, just tor the financial
benefit of the few. "If the liquor traf
fic does not hurt society, I will join to
protect it, but if it is damngiug, I will
join with othei'Smtu surpres it," said
we spoaKer. - 1
- Trade Pays Low Wages.
Denying ,tliat the manufacture of
liquors gave employment to great num
bers of people, he stated that for every
(1,000,000 invested in the business,
only 77 men were employed. As a
trust, liquor paid the lowest scale of
wages.
From the viewpoint of tax paying,
Mr. Hobson asserted that the liquor in
terests were the couse of the bulk of
taxes, as it was tho direct cause of
paupers and insanity. As to. efficiency
that of the Russian people had - in
creased fully 50 per cent since the
abolition of the sale, of intoxicating
dnnks.
- From a scientific standpoint, alcohol
had beeu studied and found to have
no food values, or even medicinal value.
In fact, all doctors and scientists, had
agreed tnat alcohol was a poison.
As to the age when the drinking
habit was formed, Mr. Hobson claimed
that 6V per cent of the drinkers form
the habit before zi) years of age, and
that statistics proved that four out of
every five young men in the country,
wero dnii Hers.
Some Health Statistics.
"From a health standpoint and years
or lite, tne insurance comiiauics claim
that a young man of 20, wito does not
drink at all, has an expectancy of llv
ing until he is 05 years of age. If
a moderate drinker, this is reduced to
50 years, and if a habitual drinker, the
young man, on the avomge will live to
only 85 years.
"I am anxious to see a stnrt for a
raco of thoroughbred men," said the
captain, "and tho only way we can do
this is to prevent the sale or manufac
ture of liquor in our country. We enn
not always change the old drinkers, but
wo must establish conditions that will
insure thnt the young men will grow up
sober, unit as lung as there is a wet
state in thk union, so long will liquor
be shipped into other stntes.
"To secure the absolute prohibition
of the sale of liquor, we must hnvo a
two-thirds vote in congress, nml then
submit to the states for ratification,
when three fourths of the Btules muBt
concur to miike it finnl."
Ills Political Life in Danger.
"I have taken my political life In
my hands by my stand on the prohibi
tion question and tho liquor interests
say they have beaten me. Senator
Koran is the really only grent man in
the country who has come out in favor
of prohibition. The big eastern politi
cians will not come out squarely on tio
proposition."
Dr. Edwin I. Steams, of New York,
preceded Mr. Hobson in an address,

i WROM MINE
Sixteen Bodies Recovered So
Far, Fifteen Are Still
Entombed
Bavensdale, Wash., Nov. 19. ix
more bodies were recovered during last
night from the third level of the North
western Improvement company's mine.
This brings the total number of bodies
recovered to 16, with 13 still entombed.
All hope that any of the mon still in
the mine following Tuesday's explosion
would be found alive, - was definitely
abandoned yesterday.
Gangs of men working in shifts of
six hours pounded steadily at the -twisted
mass of timbering and coal and dirt
still blocking the entrance to the third
level, and during the night succeeded In
ponotrnting the corridor.
It was expected that all bodies would
be recovered before night.
tne Domes recovered last night were
those of Pat Dowd, .Thomas Speck, Joe
Krajno, Noah Goodman, Jack Muncie
and an Italian whoso identity was not
learned. The body recovered yesterday
has not been identified. ,
The first of the mine victims' funer
als were held yestorday and will con
tinue as rapidly as bodies are brought
up.
Rising water in the mine threatened
to .block rescue work for a time yester
day, but the pumps wore repaired and
started.
With at least $75,000 to be rjaid in
pensions by the state industrial insur
ance commission as a result of tho ex
plosion, there is only $8,613 to the
credit of the Northwestern Improve
ment company in the accident fund. A
levy probably will be made on other
mines, to be paid back gradually.
KING MUST SHOOT
E UP THE
Allies fired of Constance's
Course Demand He Make
Decision
Paris, Nov. 19. King Constantino of
Greece will be given but little more
time in which to decide whether to
cast his lot with Germany or with tho
allies.
Unless he openly allies himself on
the allies Bide in passive or active co
operation and gives desired assurances
that ho will not intern any. allied ref
uges, the allies will take speedy action
against him, it was believed here to
day. Not only is Constantino's present at
titude regarded as dangerous to the
allios campaign in the Balkans, but
there are disquioting reports of a
Graeco-Bulgar agreement together with
a possibility that Rumania will join the
central powers.
in tnese circumstances officials are
not inclined to temporize. Delay and
uncertainty aro merely hindering the
ttalknn operations and, if Greece re
fuses to give the non-interference guar
antees the allies plans and success wilt
be Bdniiltedltv greatly jeopardized,
To prevent such an outcome, strong
pressure is being brought to bear
against Constantino, presumably with
a tnrent that action of tho most urns
tic Hort will follow any attempt to
evade the allies' demands or to swing
into tne Germnnic alliance.

Hillstrom promised to die like a rebel and he did.
Telegraphing to Elizabeth Gurley Flynn last night, Hillstrom. said:
"Good bye, Gurley, dear. 1 1 have lived like a rebel, and I shall
die like a rebel."
He did fighting, screaming, clubbing his guards with a broomstick
he had mysteriously concealed.
To Bill Hey ward, I. W. W. organizer, Hillstrom telegraphed:
"Could you arrange to have my body hauled to the state line to be

I will die like a true-blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourn

Fighting in an insane frenzy Joe Hill
strom, Industrial Worker of the World,
wont to his death before the state fir
ing Bqund in the yard of the state pris
on at 7:42 a. m. today.
In some unknown way he had con
cealed a broom handle in his cell. When
the door was opened he leaped at his
guards, swinging the club over their
hoods florcely, and sovorely cutting one
on the scalp and face. ' " '
But, guards ovcrpowored him in the
twinkling of an eyo.
Until he came out of his cell, he had
shown no signs of resisting.
He bad been norvous, but unwavering
In the cold calmness that had marked
him for months. Guards were taken by
ourpriBe.
"I'll die fighting," be screamed,
"not like a coward."
As he continued to struggle, poworful
guards pinioned his arms to his sides.
Thoy urged him to be quint and take
his medicine like a man. When further
resistance was useless, he settled sud
denly into an apathetic calm.
"Now I can die with a clear con
science," he said.
Walked to Prison Yard.
The march of the firing squad then
commenced. Warden Pratt and a depu
ty led. Two physicians followed. Thon
came Hillstrom between two doputy
siioriffs.
Hillstrom 's eyes wore not blindfold
ed until he was taken into tho prison
yard. It was his wish to face the squad
with open eyes, but a thick heavy bund
of cloth was tightly placed around bis
eyes aud his head.
He walked to the death chair with a
swinging stride.
V hen he came opposite the door of
the prison blacksmith shop, behind
which wore stationed the fivo rifle men
Ilillstrnm passed the X witnesses in
their places. Ho tried to removo the
blindfold but was prevented by tho
straps which hud been drawn around
his aims and waist,
Ho was led to tho big congress chnlr,
about 20 pnecs distant from the 'ivo
holes In the door in tho blacksmith
shop, from which tho glittering muz
zles or tho rules protruded.
Guards quickly shoved him into tho
death chuir, and buckled more strups
about Ins logs and urms, rendering him
helpless,

his lips with his tongua. Physiciuns
tested his heart, It was pumping hard,
Then pinned tho white target above his
heiiit, and the white mark stood out

Sheriff Corless shunted "uim."
Tho five rifles stcudiud from tho
portholes,
"Firo, let 'or go," shrieked Hill
strom, mockingly. He wus plainly grin
ning a horriblo death grin, it seemed
to witnesses,
"Firo," commanded Corless.
Five rifles spoke, Hillstrom 's body
sagged down in the chair and theh
straightened out stiffly, as tho head
sagged down on his shoulders.
Physicians stepped quickly to nill
xt rum's side. They applied tho stetho
scope, In one minute, 12 2 5 seconds, thoy
raised their hands.
"Ho is dead," they said solemnly.
The corpse was taken to the prison
hospital. No ouo clnimod it at nrst.
Attempt to Save Him Fails.
An eleventh hour attempt to save
Hillstrom failed. A Seattle man named
Unnliy was reported to havo signed an
affidavit furnishing an alibi, claiming
he was in Hillstrom 's company else
where than at tho scene, on tho night
the murder of J. G. Morrison and his
son, Arling, was committed.
Hillstrom himself swept 6V0D thli
small bone of life aside.
HILLSTROM CASE
"I do not know Busby," he said in
his cell, when officials questioned him.
That settled Hillstrom 's fate. The in
tervention of President Wilson andtha
Swedish minister had failed. Hill
strom 'a own words crushed his last
chance.
Governor Spry and the pardon board,
who sent Hillstrom to his death, de
spite eountry-wide protests and the of
ficial interference did not witness tho
execution. . r
Ed Rowan, secretary of the local I.
W, W, applied for admission as a wit
ness, because as he said he was a
friond of Hillstrom, but he was not al
lowed within the prison walls. Prob-
ably 150 persons including a score of
women and a number of I. W. W. mem
bers were outside the prison walls in
the public square at dawn. They beard
the five rifles crack.
Many Threatening Letters.
Desnite throats of death sent Gover
nor Hpry, coupled with letters saying;
buildings would be wrecked, the city
was quiet. Mo disorder occurred dur
ing or after tho execution as far as L
W. W. sympathizers were concerned.
Scarlet IctterB, "good bye capitol,'
were found painted near, the state cap
itol. Guards watchod it closely. Thi
ind similar leeends were placarded is
several sections of the city during ths
night.
The marksmen aim was perieet. in
four bullets entered over Hillstrom 's
heart in a snaco which could have been
covered by a silver dollar.
Last night Hillstrom scoffed at
death. To reporters ho declared he was
not nfrnid to die. lie wantea a new
trial, ho said, but would not "go on his
knees" to get it; nor would he give
them a "dying statement."
"Thoy'd call mo a liar anyway," he
said.
Asked for something concerning his
family, he smiled bitterly.
"I guess the family will go out when
Ll pans on," ho said.
