UNITED STATES LEADING
BIG MOVEMENT FOR PEACE
WITH BELLIGERENTS’ AID
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—It is'
stated on the highest possible author- j
lty, and there is no doubt of Its truth, 1
that the flr3t official and authorized
movement toward peace has been be
gun.
The movement has behind it all the
Influence of the United States bunk
ed by the countries of South America
and by Spain and Switzerland. Nor
is this the chief foundation on which
the movement rests. The countries
involved In the war are willing to
conclude a peace with honor with one
exception which is Austria. The late
Emperor Francis Joseph had already
given Ills sanction to the movement
but Ills death caused a disarrangement
of the pluns under way in that coun
tiy. The new e/nperor, however, is
comincr to look favorably on the
f ' eme but insists upon peace with
holier.
The details of the movement are
being handled by the American di
plomatic representatives at the cap
itals of the belligerent countries as
slated by the envoys from all other.
neutral countries.
The visits to America recently of
Ambassadors Gerard and Page, from |
Berlin and Eondon, were, as was stilt- '
ed by the International New3 service t
at the time, connected with the great
concerted effort for peace.
It can now be stated positively tha‘
the highest authorities not only In ;
Germany but In England, France. |
Italy. Japan, and all the smaller I
countries involved, except Austria, j
whore negotiations are proceeding fa
vorably, are willing and anxious to
conclude the war on terms consistent j
with national honor.
The only question remaining to be
settled, and this Is the matter that
our diplomats are now working on and
have been working on for weeks. Is'
the terms of settlement. Tho map of
I
the world will have to bo made over.
The allies have taken nearly all of
the colonies formerly owned by the
central powers. But the Teutons hold
a part of France, Belgium, Servln, Al
bania, and parts of Russia and Rou
mania. Italy has made inroads into
Austria.
A reasonable basis, from which maj
follow a settlement of the thousandi
of details, Is now the aim of the neu
tral diplomats
There is no expectation of an Imme
diate agreement as to thl3 basis but
progress Is being made towards it
Military successes from day to day
change the demands and concessions
which are made by the powers at wai
and render the negotiations very diffi
cult.
The expectation on the part of the
state department which Is the central
clearing house .n the negotiations Is
that a formal truce may be called in
the hostilities during the most severe
months of the winter for the purpose
of holding a conference of the states
men, diplomats and war chiefs of all
the powers to the end that an agree
ment wll be reached to conclude the
war and leave minor details to im
partial Judges.

VILLA NOW GAINING
OVER GARRAN2ISTAS
WHO ARE DESERTING
International News Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25—Dispatch
es say that the Carranza forces n
round Chihuahua which won the first
two battles for the possession of the
town are now being worsted and that
Villa Is gaining in strenght.
The bandit made an assault on the
city yesterday and a large number of
Carranzlstas which were sent to op
pose him deserted In a body and went
over to Villa. The vanguard thus aug
mented continued on towards the city
and occupied important positions
ED PASO, Nov. 25—Reports indi
cate that Villa has captured a posi
tion dominating the Chihuahua city
and Juarez railroad. This .was ac
complished by fighting which took
place yesterday.
Dispatches state that the control of
the railroad by Villa and the occupa
tion of strong positions to the north
ward of the city of Chihuahua will
prevent any possible retreat of Oen
oral Trevino's troops toward Juarez.
It Is thought possible that Villa may
have the Carranzlstas at his merev if
the tide of fortune continues to flow
favorably. No recent news has been
received from General Pershing or if
it has been received it has not been
announced. Should Villa completely
destroy the power of the de facto gov.
eminent In Chihuahua it is practica'ly
certain that a strong force of United
States troops will be sent to the relief
of Pershing who would be In great
danger.
EE, PASO, Nov. 25.—The third day
of Villa's atack on Chihuahua City
began at dawn. By the ruse of a
feigned retirement yesterday after
noon he succeeded In winning an en
gagement this morning when he at
tacked suddenly and with redoubled
fot ce.

BROTHERS
CONFESS TO
GEM THEFT
International New* Service.
NEW YORK. Nov. 25.—The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of
jewels valued at sixty thousand dol
lars and owned by Mrs. E. H. Har.-i
man has boen cleared up by the con
fessions of the Dagget brothers.
They were the keepers of the vault
in which Mrs. Harrlman jkept 1i»r 1
valuables. When she went to get her
gems for U3e at a function they were
not In their accustomed place. No
other valuables wero missing and the
Duggets asserted that she must have
made a mistake and placed them else
where. She maintained, however, that
i V had put them In the vault.
Detectivc3 were put to work on the
cihc and had begun to draw the net
clrsely around the two brothers whin
they decided to confess. They have
restored the gems but will be pun
ished by the law although more len
iently than would have been the case
had they not confessed.
