NEWS REVIEW OF CliRREHT EVENTS Carranza Refuses to Release Jenkins and Hostilities With Mexico Impend. ARMY AND NAVY ARE READY tovernment'o Efforts to End Coal Strike by Negotiation Fall, Min ers Rejecting Garfield's Offer of 14 Per Cent Wage In crease. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. It appears nt this writing that the breaking point with Mexico tins heen reached at last or should one say tgnln? Cnrranzn's government, defy ing the United States, has flatly re fused to release Consular Agent Jenk ins In response to the demand made by our state department. Since that demand was In the nnturo of nn ulti matum, threatening unpleasant con sequences. It would seem either Wash ington or Mexico must back water, or hostilities will result. The Mexican foreign ofllce Raid the demand of the United States was not bused on nuy legal foundation or prln flple of International law: that the executive department cannot under Mexlcnn law Intervene now In nn affair thnt Is strictly In the hnnds of state courts; that the Imprisonment of Jenk ins was neither arbitrary nor unjusti fied, and that he Is preventing his own freedom by refusing to give ball. Mex ico's assertion that Jenkins, ns a con sular agent, was not Immune from ar rest Is not contested In Washington, but Secretary Lansing bns stated that bis department has more Information bearing on this case than bns been made public, and presumably It Is this Information that led to the demnnd for the release of Jenkins. Iteports from Mexico that have come through official channels show that the Mexicans have done all possible to dis credit Jenkins. The court nt l'uebla re filled to hear witnesses who would re fute the story that he was seen In conference with members of the gnng that kidnaped him; and according to the correspondent of n newspaper of Mexico City, a number of peons de clared the Judge and police Inspector bad exercised pressure on them to tes tify against Jenkins. It was believed In Washington that the administration would maintain Its firm Rtand In the crisis. Otherwise, said the well-posted, congress would take up the matter promptly after con vening, call for all the facts In the case and proceed to frame n definite policy. In both house anil senate, It was asserted, the great majority was In favor of u showdown with Carranza. who for years has flouted the United States and in Innumerable ways dis played his open hostility. There Is no forgetting or forgiving his attitude and Jctlons during the war, which the gov ernment knew all the time and with JK-hlch the public Is becoming better uc Iqunlnted every day. Should firmed Intervention ho nee ssary, we nre In good condition for quick nctlnn, for the army has had this possibility In mind for some months. Along the border these forces nre now available. Both wings of the avlntlon service. Including 15 aero squadrons, ten' balloon companies, live regiments of field artillery, ten of the 13 regiments of cavalry remaining In ithe army organization, threo regi ments of engineers, one brigade of In fantry, with four within calling dis tance In the central department, 10 motor trnasport companies, one field battalion and two telegraph battalions iof the slgnnl corps, 23 or moro pack trnlns and all the additional forco of supply to enro for an army of that size. I Tho marine corps Is rendy for the emergency, and so Is tho navy. With a fleet In the Pacific as well as the lAtluntlc, forces could be landed on both coasts. If the navy needs more men the reservo force can be called on, and that Includes a large part of the extra personnel In service during the war. Beside looking on the arrest of Jenkins as dellherately designed to af front the railed States, the state de partment nfllclals say thee.eetnlnn Inst week of (ten. Felipe Angeles also Indi cates the hostile attitude of Carrair.a toward this country. Angeles was the foremost Mexican soldier of this day, and was the outspoken admirer of the United States. Hut he had heen the chief nld of Villa and was captured; therefore he was condemned and shot to death. While this may have heen technically Just. It Is likely that the life of so eminent a man would have heen spared If he had not so freely given voice to his friendship for this nation. Less startling, perhaps, than the Mexican crisis, but of no less moment, Is the collapse or the government's ef forts to end the conl strike by negotia tion. Its llnnl offer to the miners was a 1-1 per cent wage Increase. This the onorators voted to accept, and the min ers, through Acting President f.ewls. rejected. Mr. Lewis declared that "re sponsibility for the crisis now confront ing the nation must be upon those statesmen who are using the powers of the government to oppress ami deny lustlce to the great element of citizen ship dlroctly concerned In the mining Industry." The operators and the miners then adjourned sine die. and It seemed that there was nothing left for the govern ment except to take over and operate the mines. The government's compromise offer, approved by the cabinet and made by Fuel Director ("larfleld. provided there should Ik) no Incrense In the price of conl to the consumer nnd thnt a Joint advisory hoard of operators and min ers should be created, with Secretary Lane as chairman, to work out the de tails of wage adjustments nnd furnish Information nnd advice In future (lis putes. This offer must hnve been made without hope of Its acceptance, for Secretary of Labor Wilson previ ously hnd declnred the men were en tltled'to an advance of 31.0 per cent, nnd the operators had offered an ad vance of 20 per cent. The ncceptnnce of Mr. Wilson's con clusions may be affected by the fact that he was a miner himself. Lewis snys the men consider his offer n pledge which the govon-niont must re deem. Former Secretary of the. Treasury McAdoo projected himself Into the con troversy with n statement that the op erators have been making excessive profits since tho war began and can well afford to pay much higher wages without Increasing the price of coal. He said the treasury's records of ex cess profits taxes would prove this. Of course the operators entered Indig nant denial, and Carter fSlass, still sec retary, came to their defense with n modified refutation of McAdoo's asser tion as to profit. While the dispute goes on the coun try's stock of fuel shrinks alarmingly. In some regions, .however, the mines nre being operated steadily. Out In the Sheridan (Wyo.) field the United States officials, civil and mllltnry, solved the trouble surprisingly and ef fectively. They learned that the min ers had voted to return to the pits but were prevented from doing so 'by n cnmpulgn of Intimidation by the radi cals. The military, therefore, nt the request of the sheriff, rounded vp nearly three score nllen agitators nnd sent them to Fort MncKenzlc. A meeting of the miners' union wns then called, and tho entire Btrike situation explained by Major Dean, whereupon the men voted unanimously to end the strike Frldny. Governor Allen of Kansas has callcds for volunteers to work the mines nmf protect the people of the state from "unspeakable suffering," nnd hundreds of men hnve responded. Union leaders say these volunteers will bo regarded as strike-breakers. D'Annunzlo, tho Italian firebrand, seems to hnvo ns mnny schemes of an nexation ns the kaiser had. According to various reports, he plans to return with Rtrong forces to Znra nnd proceed thence to Sebcnlco; nfter seizing thnt city, ho will attack Spalnto, and there he mny run afoul of tho American navy, which Is guarding that pnrt of Dalmntla; also lie is said to nlm at establishing a militarist government at Trlest, and now has emissaries In thnt city. The allied officials Jn Purls, how ever, now have renewed hopo that a compromise settlement of the Adriatic question will be reached, satisfactory to all parties, Including D'Annunzlo. This Is the expected result of conver sations there between British, French, Italian and Jugo-Slnv representatives. The Jugo-Slavs are still nervous and claim to have Information that Italy plans to take all of Dalmatfa and Mon tenegro. Maxim Lltvlnoff, representing tho solet government of Russia, Is In Co penhagen conferring with British ends sarles. Primarily the matter In hand Is the exchnnge of prisoners, but Lit vlnofT admitted that If tho British nt tltude was favorable, peace negotia tions woidd be tnken up. lie headed tho bolshevik delegation thnt met tho representatives of the Bnltlc states In Dorpnt, and the Intter sny tils manner was cold and threatening throughout, nnd that unless he behaves otherwise In Copenhagen It will be difficult to ne gotiate with him. The Baltic states al ready have lost faith In the bojshe vlst's professed desire for pence with them. Tho soviet government of Run sla has announced new victories over Denlklne's forces and further advnncei In the Omsk region. On Thursdny Premier Stnmbullwsk of Bulgurln signed the treaty of pence between his country nnd the allies. The pact was signed by nil the allied nntlnns except Roumnnln nnd .Tugo Slavln, which nre awaiting the signing of the treaty with Austria. Bulgaria Is. to pay nn Indemnity of .$445,000,000; to surrender nil works of nrt and other vnlunbles tnken from allied countries; to abolish compulsory mllltnry service, nnd to reduce Its nrmy. to 20,000 men. It Is deprived of Thrace nnd of Strum nltzn. the latter going to Serbia. (lermnny, nt Inst reports, was still holding out on signing the protocol which the nllled nntlnns drew up, nnd the supreme council has expressed Its surprise nnd displeasure nt this course. Tho council told the Oermnns thnt If the trenty of Versailles were not put Into effect on December 1 the respon sibility would rest entirely with their government. In nnother note to tlm Oormnn delegation nt Versailles M. Clemoncenu, ns president of the coun cil, sternly refined to deviate from the terms of the trenty In favor of German prisoners employed In rccon- 'otrimtlnn wnrlr In file ilevnstnteil nnrt of France, nnd ho used some very plnln language concerning Germnn brutality and Insincerity. Another Irish crisis Is at hand, for the British government, nccordlng to dispatches from Dublin, has Issued a proclamation prohibiting nnd suppress ing the Sinn Fein nnd other like or ganizations In nil countries and bor oughs 'in Irelnnd. It Is believed the British now hnve 150.000 troops In Ire land, nnd on the other hnnd the sup porters of the Irish "republic" clnlm they hnve an nrmy of nt least 100,000, ready to fight for the cause. The new Labor pnrty held Its first nntlonnl convention In Chicago Inst week, and It wns scarcely what could be called n success. The offlclnl list of delegates showed that 728 presented credentlnls, but a good many of them faded nwny before the convention enme to n close. Moreover, not one of the 124 Internntlonnl Inbor unions wns represented, and of the 84,000 lo cal unions In the Amerlcnn Federation of Labor nnd 0,000 Independent unions only 0-12 sent delegates. One delegate fronuBoston snld about 80 per jont of thoso In attendance were Socialists and ex-Sochillsts. Among those who deserted the convention were the mem bers of the Nonpnrtlsnn league, headed by Governor Frazler of North Dakota. The platform adopted Is almost Iden tical with those of other radical groups. When the congressional committee went to Kills Island to Investigate tho cases of the radicals held here for de portation It ran Into n bunch of tar tars. The reus rerusod to bo ques tioned, and moreover wero on a hun ger strike because they wero sepnrnted from callers by burs. Of course tho obvious course Is to let them stn e, nnd tho applause would be genera It wns also disclosed that Frederic Howe, former commissioner of Immi gration at the Island, hud maintained a strangely sympathetic nttltudn of mind toward the reds who had Ix-en caught In the federal net. There may be more about him later on. Ev?j0 $$sHB IbV vw January Is the month In which most women consider their own nnd their family's need In umlcrgurments, and this particular duty Is not so simple now as It used to he. Two mouths earlier designers, manufacturers and Importers must assemble underthings for women who leave for the South ns soon as the holidays are over, nnd this exacting clientele sets the pnee In the development of new Ideas and In extravagance. This year, bo It known, nil-white underwenr appears to be their choice, and It will therefore piny the lending role, ns In times long past, In the dainty drama of undcr- niusllus. But nil-white underthings will not hjild the center of the stnge all the time. Negligees have grown more pic turesque and colorful, more varied In style than ever, nnd the newest fad cnlls for hose, slippers, cap nnd un derwenr to mntch them ; the match ing Involves usually two colors, so there Is no monotony. A house party, assembled for the morning coffee, Is quite likely to rlvnl tho evening party, In gny nnd pretty dressing, nnd to prove more Interesting, since one can venture n little way toward tho bl ziirrc In the morning nnd nt home.

We learned during tho war, when drives were made for clothing for the Belgians nnd French of the devastated regions, thnt nearly everyono had clothing that could bo spared. It Is almost n crime to keep garments thnt oro not worn or needed, stored nwoy when they might be of uso to oth ers who really need them. Therefore Influential women in tho larger com munities hnvo organized yearly sales usually called "rummage sales," and they contribute to these events nil kinds of clothing shoos, hats, gloves, hose, underwenr, ns well ns nil outer garments. The contributions Include clothing for men, women nnd children. The more prosperous usually donnto outright what they can spare. Oth ers ask that a selling prlco bo put upon their articles nnd u certain per cent of It bo returned to them. But clothing Is not nil that appenrs nt thoso sales; bed coverings, furni ture, bric-n-brac, and nil sorts of household belongings find a place at the sale. If there Is no regular worn mi's oxchnngo, preserves and canned fruits nnd vegetables nro sure of find ing purchasers. In fact, about every thhig appears that Is useful or orna mental In tho home. It takes n few enterprising and rnpnble womon to put over a rum ii'tige sale or u contribution sale or ba zaar th nnmo to be selected nccord In to circumstances.

French knots, In light colors, sim ulate tiny flowers on much of tho flesh-colored underwenr, In both silk nnd cotton materials, and smnll bows or rosettes of ribbon havo not lost their charm upon fnmlllur acquaint ance. . Ruffles jind flounces aro not so much used ns heretofore, and scalloped edges are liked ns a finish. But petti coats, with deep, sennt flounces of sheer embroidery, like that pictured here, nre suited to tho senson's danco frocks nnd evening gowns. Tho flounces continue to bo Joined to tho petticoat with the wider headings car rying ribbons that end In n bow ut, one side. Medallions of fillet, on other strong lingerie luce, set about flounces on pcttUonts, about the neck ofchemlso or night dresses, between smnll em broidered floral designs, seem to be tho. most desired of till trimmings. Clus ters of fine tucks nre among tho time honored decorations that hold their own. oivonvy oriver tho contributions, find a place to as semble nnd display them nnd provide salespeople. When the goods nro ar ranged, they nro to be murked In plain figures. Usually n woman's club or similar organization carries these sales through, a smnll per cent on tho Income, nbovo expenses, going Into tho treasury. It Is best to have only a few mnnngers sny n committee of three who can glvo tlmo to the nffalr and thoso who have hnd business ex perience, or nre known to have exec utive ability, should be chosen. There are possibilities for thoso who sell nnd thoso who buy In n sale of this kind. Tho most Important thing to remem ber Is thut clothing nnd houso furnish-, lugs nro to be sold very chenply. Food slulTs will bring tho market price. Another flue practice was Inaugurat ed during' the war, nnd thnt was tho conversion of old, battered silver and Jewelry into bullion. Nearly every one possesses some old pieces that nro never used nnd nre kept, simply because they aro of pre cious metal or havo somo llttlo senti mental value. Probably n good mnny dollars In many communities nro wrapped up In useless trinkets. Theso might better be donated by their own ers to tho first deserving cause that comes along. In a good sized city tho donors will bo nblo to ralso a respec table sum on contributions they will never miss, f ' J Ellensburg, Wmh.
