Pershing brought spfclal emph.is'is to the first anniversary in Wyoming Vailey of the beginning of the Ameri¬ can drive which tamed the tide of de¬ feat against the Germ;in srmies at Chateau-Thierry. E.xactly one year ago. Major Stiff moved with the Seventh l.'nlted States Infantry into the town of Foasoy, facing Chateau- Thierry, and there «« commander of the medical front-line service achieved auch distinction as to win the commen¬ dation of America's great military leader. Major William C. Stiff was the first physician of established practice tn Luserne county to enter the world war. He enlisted with Colonel Theodore Roosevelt when the latter offered to raise an American division. Colonel Roosevelt was Major Stiffs commander In the Spanish-American war. When the Roosevelt Division wa.-? rejected by President Wilson, Major Stift trans¬ ferred his application to the regular army and m-as assigned to the Seventh Infantry. Subsequently he rose to XJeutenant and with the rank .he was •ent to France with the early contin- rents of the First and Second divisions. His rise to the rank of Major entails a romance of devoted patriotism that his Mldom been equaled.

Stiff, who formerly waa Mlaa Carrie Gwilliam, accepted a position in the public schools until such time as her hus¬ band's senice would expire. Dr. Stiff's heroism in France has been tho ¦«bj«ct. of newspaper comment for more than a year. The dangers he en- '•'leonntered a»* Indicited in the per¬ centage ef cAAuaJtlen his unit suffered.

July 19.—President Wilson hae been offered a list of names of 35 senators who have t>Iedged them¬ selves to refuse ratification of the peace treaty unless reservations aro made, it waa learned tonight. This Is two more than the number of votes necessary to prevent ratiOcatlon with out reser- vatlon- The list It was learned, was offered to the President as proof that tbe Senate will not ratify the treaty un¬ less reservations are made to certain of its datxBes. He baa been informed that. If he doubted tbe situation as shown by the list, he could call each of the oonators named individually and verify it. It was not known here tonight whether President Wilson has as yet availed himself of the offer to ecan the list of 35. This list completed yeaterday. It was Stated o]^ the authority of two leading senators tonight, is composed of men who "canfiot be moved by throat, cajolery, flattery or backfire from their constituents' 'to take any other course. The pledge is so definite and binding. It waa stated, that the 35 will retire from the senate if neoeseary. rather than repudiate It. This development closely followed an intimation ft-om the White Honse that President Wilson Is gretaly pleased with his talks with Republican Sena¬ tors and believes his conference are clearing up tho situation. It was the flrnt tangible evideno* of dlainM mad* for the several days by league oppon¬ ents that the antl-Leaguers were firmly imlted. A Serious Situation, Opposition Senators are coirvinced, they declared tonight, that the situation has undergone a. change since Senators have been seriously studying the of¬ ficial text of thq treaty. Senator Moses, ^^w Hampshire, a leading member of the opposition, said tonight: "There is a prowinj? ffwli-n! In the Senate that the whole treaty should be thrown out of the window, i am surprised to discern the Increaae in he belief that the Wisest way to deal with the trpaty is to throw the whole thing away." There w^as every indication that the flght Is entering a new phase. In which, as one senator declared, "any compro¬ mise that Is arranged will be on our terms and not on the President's." Some Democratic senators, it was learned, have advised President Wilson to cancel or hold up for the time being his speech-making trip. They have urged that he remain in Washington where he can more quickly meet the strategy of his opp>onents with effective counter measuree. An air of cornfldenee today continued to pervade pro-league circles. Admin¬ istration senators believe that Presi¬ dent Wilson is succoedlng in Impress¬ ing bis Republican caRers, particularly respecting Sbantunc. In this connection. It was learned that the President told some of the Republican senators with whom he talked that he fears a Japanese alli¬ ance with Germany, tf a roservtlon re¬ garding Shantung Is put Into the treaty by the Senate. Fear Less ef Japan. At any rate, the Preaidenl Is reported to have said; the United States would lose Japan's friendship for years to come. He also assured his callers. It was said, that the Japanee envoy made sueh definite commitments tn the pres¬ ence of the Big Four at the Paris oon- ferenee, regarding the return of Shan¬ tung to China, that Japan Is pledged beyond escape to a definite date for a return. These commitments, it waa stated, were not put in writing sim¬ ply because .Tapan said that would be humiliating and that her word was enough. I>&Rue advocates today pointed to these demanding reservations, that the •nabllng act which Consress must pa-is after the treatj- Is ratified to provide for appointment of American repre¬ sentatives to the league will offer an (Continusd Ojl Bmmx2-) Washington, July 19. — The drastic prohibition enforcement laws suggested by the "dr>-s'" now seem certain to pass the House practically without amend¬ ment, except perhaps to make them more stringent. Despite wnmlnp.s from several pro¬ hibitionists that the laws '^rtll Pi;2]!? "oppressive. Irritative and Incapable of enforcement." the radical dpys have maintained supreme control In the House all during the consideration of the bill, repeatedly votl-:-- down by safe majorities any attemept to modify. By a session tonl(»ht. the HOTise was expected to practically complete read¬ ing of the bill for amendments and so far it stands practically the same as It caroa from the committee. A flnal vote la not expected until next week. Representative Igoe Missouri, "wet," has prepared a now enforcement bill In throe sections, tn place of the present .sections of the Volstead act. and will submit it t<k the House just before the final vole is taken. II carries no de¬ finition of intoxicating liquors. "Drys" today refnsed to allow the home manufncture of beer, light line and cider, for personal use iind spent hours trj'ing to close all possible loop¬ holes In the nrovislon allowing doctors to prescribe liquors. To prevent .stores from becoming sa¬ loons, an amendment by Tiepresenta- tive Miller. Washington, was adopted, pr.Tvidlng that phj.'siciana may not make liquid prescription in drug stores, and the limit a sick man can obtain Is one liquor prescription every ten days. Drug Stores Operate. Advocating his amendmpnl. Miller -said that in OT>e section of the countrj' 800 saloons were closed, and nearly 800 drug stores immediately opened. The section of the bill prohibiting tha advertising of liquor was passed without amendment. All electric signs and bill boards advertising liquor must be torn down as soon ae the bill is ap¬ proved. >few»papers can no longer print the "picture of a brewery, dis¬ tillery, bottle, keg, barrel, or box or other receptacle represented .-i*i con¬ taining liqiior." Prohibition will probably be made, some dry leaders *ald. for safeguarding the UJ-e of eactfamentiil wine. The present bill. Representative Igoe claims, will absolutely prohibit It. 'l.'ncle Joe" Cannon opposed the drys for the attempts to stop the home manufacture of drinks that will be termed Intoxicating, but heretofore have been considered harmless. "You cant enact a law that will keep a man after he makes a barrel of elder from putting it Into his cellar, letting it •harden" and then drinking It' he said.

July 19.—Hope thai conference* In the next 24 hours may result In ssttlement of some of the city's larger strikes and lockouts, was entertained here to¬ night, as Governor Frank O. Low- den joined Mafor William Hale Thompsoni and a board of arbiters. Fear that the city's transporta¬ tion systems might be paralysed following an overwhelming vote by elevated and surface lines em¬ ployes in favor of a walk out, caused Mayor Thompson to name an arbi¬ tration council of aldermen, em¬ ployes and officials of tbe traction companies. Most ajixlety, however, was ex¬ pressed at the resignation of 250 engineers of the flre department and pumping station. Danger to prop- ei^y was removed oniy by swearing in emergency forces and mannlnar some of the stations with substi¬ tutes. ]mm TiE-yp OF D. & H. I BABY UNDER BLANKET .

The child smothered to death before It was missed. YAQUI INDIAN RAIDS FATAL TO MEXICANS Strike at Miners Mills Still on With Two Angles of Danger Showing BOTH SIDES FIRM Threats and counter threats have been hurled by the opposing sides In the strike of nineteen hundred miners which has resulted In Idleness being forced on three collieries of the Dela¬ ware & Hudson Coal Company. In a statement Issued yesterday by the strikers they charge that coal and iron policemen employed by the company have attempted to force the m.en to re¬ turn to work by the throat to close the collieries for six months. The strikers answer by announcing that any such action on the port of the company will result in a general strike being called which will result in every colliery owned by the company being forced to close. ' The collieries where the strike Is al¬ ready In foixe are the Pine Ridge, tho Laurel Run and the Delaware opera¬ tions. The only men at work In the three mines yesterday were engineers caring for the machinery and the men engaged In keeping air passages clear. All other union workmen were Idle. The strikers gathered yesterday af¬ ternoon for an Informal session, but did nothing except to discuss the sltu- i atton. They will meet tomorrow night to consider further ways of advanolryf their cause. They dalm they will con¬ tinue with the strike until the com¬ pany discontinues alleged unfair at¬ tacks on their union. A statement dealing with the trouble at the Pine Ridge, lAurel Run and Delaware ccfllierles was Issued hy the committee. It follows: '"Too much boss Interference caused the men and 'hoys at the collieries to declare the I strike. It seems that since the present I bunch of bosses came here they ar« ! bound lo break up our local union. The I men and hoys are determined that I they will hold their loo«U together. "When a boss goes as far as to pull j down notices that are posted up in ac- 1 cordance with the agreements and con- \ tracts and try and chase committees ¦ away from the collieries, we think that j It Is time that the officials higher up ' take a hand and tell their petty bosses that they must live up to agreements • and contracts made between the mine I workers' representatives and the op¬ erators. The miners are expected to live up to these agreements. "Of course we have always been blamed for all the trouble that haa arisen, but now to be fair with the men and boys concerned, the public can pas sthelr Judgment and put the blame where It belongs. We are not in favor of any Bolshevism pressed Into our ranks as the bosses are trying to do. Tt Is time that these petty bosses sit up and take notice and not try to run our union out of existence." •«S^f<- ATTACK ON SAILORS CAUSE FOR DEMAND FOR FEDERAL ACTION Group of Men From United States Ship Cheyenne Are Held Up and RobbedAlthoa Under Protection of the Flag. Fall Report is Requested. DANIELS NOT VET ADVISED. WasKin^ton, July 19.—^The United States apparently faces Ht difficult mtuation in Mexico. Bandits attacked a boatload of Americiin seiilors from tho U. S. S. Cheyenne, who were fishing in the Tamesi river, nine imles from Tampico, on JiJy 6 and robbed them. The boat, Secretaiy Daniels said, must have been flying the American flag. The attack waa regarded here as an insult to the American flag. Though tho attack on the sailors occurred thirteen days ago, there was no official announcement of it until this afternoon, when the State Department gave out the following statement: "The Department of State has just been advised that on July 6> a boat from the U. S. S. Cheyenne, and occupied by enlisted men from that vessel who were on a fishing trip, were held up on the Tamesi river near Tampico by armed men. The sailors were robbed, of personal effects. . "Urgent representations have been made by the Department of State to both the Mexican authorities at Tampico and to the fed¬ eral government at Mexico City, and the authorities there have prom¬ ised to investigate at once." Secretary Daniels said he had not heard of the incident until he. saw the State Department announcement Then he asked aides if there had been such a report. It was foimd the navy report of the episode was received July 7. Daniels gave out a paraphrase of the code message from Commander E- P. Finney of the cruiser To- peka, which said that a motor sailing launch of the monitor Cheyvr enne, with a fishing party aboard, was held up by bandits July 6* nine miles fxom Tampico, and the sailors in it robbed. The sailors, it was said, lost a ring, a watch and a pair of shoes. Daniels sent this message to Finney: "Wire fuller report and result of investigation of robbery of motor sailing launch of the Chey¬ enne. Have parties been identified or apprehended?" Tlie attack' "was made in what is supposed to be one of the two Ciuranza strongholds in Mexico,—the district immediately around Tampico. The State Department had no information as to what sort of n\en robbed the sailors. The Navy Department dispatch men¬ tioned "bandits," In addition to the Cheyenne and the Topeka. the navy ships available for duty in the Tampico district are the cruiser Castine, en- route from Limon to Colon, in the Panama canal zone, and the armed yacht May, enroute from San Domingo to Port au Princew Hasrti. Nogales. Ariz-, July 19.—Yaqul In¬ dians raided a ranch near Potam. Mexico, Thursday, killing sixteen Mexicans, according to reports here tonight.
