California Senator Thinks Peaceful
Outcome Impossible and Says Arm
ed Intervention Is Necessary
Says Congress Must Share Respon
sibility With President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. Senator
Works, republican, introduced a rcso
lution in tho United States sennte to
day proposing armed intervention and
declared that congress should flhnro
with tho president tho responsibility
for whntevor is done.
"Up to this time," said Senator
Works, addressing tho fenato, "con
gress has permitted all responsibility
for conditions in Mexico to rest with
tho president. It is too gravo n re
sponsibility. We have all sympa
thized with the president in the hopo
that conditions would Tight them
selves without intervention. I very
much doubt now that such a peaceful
outcome is possible.
"Congress alone has tho right to
dcelaro war, and that is what inter
vention means. Congress should
courageously shouldor tho responsi
bility. There is no reason for divid
ing tho responsibility with other na
tions or iniposo it Uon tho presi
dent. I ask that tho resolution be
referred to the foreign relations
committee with tho hope that it would
tako prompt action."
Tho resolution wits so referred.
Scnntor Lodge submitted the same
resolution ho offered April 21, 1011,
as n substitute for tho resolution tho
senate then adopted, authorizing tho
president to use armed forces in Mex
ico to forco its demands upon Gen
eral Iluorta and asked that it bo re
printed iu tho record.
"That resolution," snid Senator
Lodge, "expressed tho republican nt
titudo regarding the wur against Illi

Armistice Negotiated
LONDON, Jon. II. A wireless
dispatch from Home reiterating tho
report of an nmiistica between Aus
tria and Montenegro slates that it
was Austria which proposed cessation
of hostilities with tho purpose of ne
gotiating a separate peace.
LONDON, Jan. II. It is author
itatively announced today that the
reported offensive of the Teutonic al
lies did not occur. The rumors Hint
tho attack had begun ngninst the
forces of tho allies, apparently orig
inated in the activity of tho French in
blowing up tlio bridges connecting
Saloniki with the road over which the
attackers would normally travel.
Dridgcs were destroyed by tho
French not only at Dcmir Hissur, on
tho Struma, near Series, but also at
Kilindir, south of Doiran. All the
bridges destroyed were in Greek ter
ritory. Hostilities Suspended
Tho rumors Hint Austrin and Mon
tenegro havo suspended hostilities
for tho purposa of discussing ar
rangements whereby furthor wnrfnro
on Montenegrin soil should bo stop
ped, mny bo based simply on tho fact
that the Austrian advance in Monte
negro has become so slow that sus
picion of n suspension of hostilities
is naturally sought. Military cir
cles, howovcr, arc of tho opinion Hint
Montonegro is now in such a position
thut gome form of nrrangemont with
her adversary has becoino impera
tive.
Speculation is rifo as to tho atti
tudo which Italy has adopted with
regard to the invasion of Montene
gro by tho Austrinns, which consti
tutes n grave monnco to Italian in
terests. The fact that Italy's sapor
ior fleet did not prevent an Austrian
squadron from assisting in tho re
duction 01 Mount Lovcen, which
dominated the harbor of Cattaro. is
being commented upon, though ex
perts iKimil that thero is not u (suf
ficient basis of information from
which to draw deductions.

RADIUM OFFERS

IIY ntHDKIUCIC M. KKItliV
IJALTLMOUH, Md . Jnn. 1 I -What
is cancer of tho throat? What eaus
08 it? Can cancer be Curod?
On tho unswor to those questions
may depond tlio outcome of the Hu
ronoan war.
Tho ltnlsor is suffering from can
cor of tho throat, according to dls
patchoi, which say only a dosporate
oporatlon can save his llfo, and that
with the loss of the powor of speech.
Dr. Howard A. Kelly of John Hop
kins university horo has Just ans
wered thoso throe questions. Dr.
Kelly's oxporlmonts with radium as
a cancer cure aro well known; ho is
ono of tho groatoet surgeons of our
tlmo nnd a specialist on cancer. Horo
aro his answers:
How Cancer Starts
"Cnncor of the throat or rather
cancers of the mouth nnd throat
maybe elthor mild and incipient, or
ndvnncod and utterly hnpoloss," ho
said. "They all begin In a small
spot somewhere about the tongue,
tho gums, tha larnjx or tho vocal
cords at the base of the touguo.
"All forms of cancer consist in
a riotous overgrowth of tho normal
cells In any part of tho body where
tho cancer grows. When a large mass
of cancerous tissue Is formed, tho
cancer colls In the central portion,
falling to get nourishment, break
down and discharge and so form
thn oxtenilvo ulcers often seen as
sociated with cancer. In this way,
too, poisons are formed which are
absorbed by the body at larie.
Killed by I'oUons
"Death in the case of cancer of tho
throat conies from elthor the absorp
tion of these poisons In such largo
quantities that the patient simply
dloof extreme weakness and exhu'iH.
tlon, or It Is brought about by me
chanical means by the pressure of the
cancer masses Interfering with swal
lowing and with breathing".
"Tho ultimate causa of eaneor,"
deelaroe Dr. Kelly, "the reason why
theio cells tako on this riotous de
velopment, has not yet boen found
out. We only know this, that any
chronic Irritation about the mouth
or throat Is liable In tho end to re
sult in oaneer. In this way smoking
the irritation of a hot pipe stem
on a particular part of the Up will
produee it; the Irritation of nicotine
will produee it in any part of the
mouth or throat.
"Caneer is not contagious from one
individual to another! Cancer Is also
not directly inheritable, although the
uredlatHMritJoH may be Inherited. In

Bevoral large payments were mndo
