The search was kept up all night and the next morning she was found struggling along through the snow five miles from where she had started and In the opposite direction from the house for which she had headed.

Alfredo Medina and Baltezore Es trada, Spanish bit and spur makers and also, according to the police, al cohol and water mixers, were yester day afternoon trapped by the police by the une of a marked five dollar bill and their arrest followed. The former pleaded guilty to bootlegging and tried to take all the blame but his partner was convicted before Judge Fits Gerald during the afternoon. Each was fined (100 and, until thay raise the money, are guests of chief Gurdane. The two men have long been sua. pected by the police but frustrated all plans to detect them until yesterday. The crippled Indian, who had been ar rested for being drunk, was the agen cy through which they were trapped. After he had furnished the police with the Information concerning his source of supply, he was given a marked five dollar note with which to make another purchase. He secured the liquor, the arre.-ts were made nnd the marked bill found on Medina. One bottle of the liiiuor secured was sealed but It was plainly evident that the seal had been tampered with It had obviously been removed and pasted back on. This constitutes a vi olation of a federal law and It is probable the government will press ; the charge. A.

NEW REGIME BEGINS TUESDAY Treasurer Hint Woman to Take Of fice In Pendk-ton; B, IC Anderson, New County ConiniiHsioner Will Al so Take Ilia Seat. ' Though the newly elected officers cunnot begin their official duties un til next Tuesday, Sunday and Monday being holidays, today Is probably the last day in office of three well known Cinatllla county officials. It con cludes the terms of Clerk Frank Sal ing, Treasurer G. W. Bradley and Dis trict Attorney Frederick Steiwer. All three of these officials have put their offices In shape so that their successors may begin their duties Tuesday morning. County Clerk Bal ing, who is concluding 12 years of service, will be succeeded by R. T. Brown, formerly his deputy. It is gtnerally believed that the new clerk will appoint E. O. Draper as his de puty and Misa Irene Sullivan, at present stenographer for Mr. Steiwer, as clerk's stenographer. When Treasurer Bradley turns over the county's finances to Miss Grace Gilliam, his successor, he will have completed 104 years In that office. The new treasurer will be the first woman to tak office here since her sex was enfranchised. She will prob ably have no deputy as one of her campaign promises was to conduct f the office without assistance. District Attorney Steiwer is com pleting his four-year term as prose cutor though he has been connected with the office longer, having served as deputy under G. W. Phelps. He will be succeeded by R. I. Keator, the present deputy. Mr. Keator has not yet decided whether he will appoint a deputy. His term will be inaugurated Tuesday in a businesslike way, inas much as the grand Jury is called to meet on that day. The retiring county clerk has a stock ranch near Stanfield and will devote much of his time to it in the future. Mr. Bradley has not yet for mulated plans for his future activi ties. Mr. Steiwer retired from the district attorneyship to devote his time to his practice. However, he was elected state senator at the recent el ection and will leave soon for Salem to attend the legislature. The first of the year will also sent R. E. Anderson, the new county com missioner, nnd the county court will thus be restored to its three-man status. VESSEL HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM U-BOAT NEW YORK, Dec.

OFFICES ODAY BELIEVED THAT ALLIES ANSWER WILL CONTAIN PEACE TERMS OUTLINE England Gradually Awakening Must be Made to German Propoganda Spread in Front of Neutral Nations. NOTE WILL BE ISSUED FROM PAIUS, Doe. SO. The allies' rcJy will be delivered to neutral dllomats this afternoon. It re sents the German attempt to tlirow the responsibility of the war on them and refutes the cen tral powers' claiin of victory. It says for thirty months the enten to has sustained a war which It tried Its utmost to prevent, and showed by Its acts the attach ment for peace. The attachment is jost as strong today as In 1914. (ED L. KEEN.) LONDON, Dec. 3. Not only will the allies answer Germany's peace proposals and clearly set forth the principles for which the ententes are fighting but it will contain an outline of the terms on which England and her allies are willing to negotiate it is confidentially expected. The fact that the note would list the terms Is expected as a result of the awakening of the last few days in England to the fact that the German propaganda to neutral nations must be effectively answered. Press and public are united In the belief that the best answer will be a comprehensive reaffirmation of the allies' aims and a statement of what they regard as necesfary peace cond Hons. THREATENED BREAK WITH U. S. MAY FORCE A BETTER BASIS FOR PEACE WASHINGTON, Dec. SO. The idea of a break with Germany over subma rining will, according to administra tion officials, constitute a strong club in forcing Germany to present a better working basis for peace than yet given. The thought that a break might oc. cur In event of peace failure, is spur ring President Wilson, according to cabinet members, while the endorse ment of his views by neutrals is mak ing him doubly anxious to keep up the work. The action of Spain in protesting General Huliert Lyautey. long kept in Morocco by French politicians, whu feared to let him have a hand in the management of the war, has now be come virtually military dictator of France He has been given greater 4 i MILITARY DICTATOR OF FRANCE AND HIS WIFE ! !

The Russians' draft will probably reach Paris to day with those of the other entente It is thought It will be made public before Wednesday. That Germany sent out feelers be cause she realized the Somme offen sive incated future defeat is suggested. "The moral is the battle was scarce ended before Germany asked peace." Quoting Haig, ths Post says: "In these simple words which resounded od on German ears like thunder lies the explanation. All the allies need to consider Is whether or not German will concede the objects the allies are fighting for or prefer to resist until their resistance is broken. Any sug gestion on the part of neutrals that a compromise might be effected is an attempt to spare Germany and as such is a violatin of neutrality." LONDON. Dec. SO. According to the Central News dispatch from Mad rid, Spain has notified the United States she cannot support Wilson'' note. WASHINGTON. Dec. SO. The Danish note supporting Wilson's nota similar to to the Norwegian message was received today. GERMANY INTO vigorously to Germany against sub marining is regarded as Inspired by the knowledge of this government's purpose should all hopes evaporate. Spain's action is held to have been taken to impress Germany that other neutrals are behind Wilson's moves. A leading official outlined the sit uation as having simmered down to a point where negotiations must contin ue or the United States will be forced, if it remains consistent in its policy toward Germany to break with the Teutons. This might result in war. The one instrument left Wilson is to bring an end to hostilities. VYAU T. tY AND WlrL c' power than Is possessed by any other single person In any government of the allies.
