EDS' AUSTRIA
ACCEPTS TfiUCE
Bolsheviki Foreign Minister
Declares Czars and Kerer.s
kys Have Passed From
Powsr in Russia.
London, Dec. 3. A dispatch to the
Daily Maifrom Fetrograd says that
Leon Trotzky, .the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, addressing the Tctrograd
workmen's council Friday, announced
Austria-JIungary's acceptance of the
l'o'sheviki ofTer of an armistice:
He said that Russian delegates
would attend Sunday's conference at
German headquarters', but neverthe
less they would be on their giard
against contingencies for bourgeoisie
diplomacy ahv: ys was dextrous in
manipulating policies so as to face
about on what appears to be an
obvious truth.
"In 1 o case," Tro.zky is quoted as
saying, "shall we allow a wrong in
terpretation of our principles for a
general peace. We shall confront our
enemies with questions which will ad
mit of no ambiguous answers.
"Every wprd spoken by us or by
them will be written down and sent
by wireless to all nations, who will
be the judge of our negotiations.
Will Car.y Out Policy.
"Cnder the influence of the lower
classes, the German and Austrian
governments have agreed to place
themselves in the dock. Be assured,
comrades, that the prosecutor, in the
person -of the Russian revolutionary
delegation, will speak with thunderous
accusation against the diplomacy of
all imperialists.
"It is all the same to us how the
allied and enemy imperialists treat us.
We shall carry on our independent
class policy, whatever they do."
Trotzky said relations between the
Bolsheviki government and England
continued "in their former' state of
indefinitencss." Referring to Russians
interned in England, he said, he had
told the British consul that if they
were still detained, "revolutionary
Russia will find means for placing
English counter revolutionists in Rus
sia in the same position."
Czars Have Passed.
"Our allies and enemies must learn
once for all," Trotzky concluded, "that
the czar, the Kerenskys, and the
Milukoffs have passed and that every
Russian citizen, whether he is a poli
tical emigrant or a revolutionary sol
dier in France, is unu r the protection
of the revolutionary state authority."
The correspondent says the speech
was received with continued cheering.
Promoters Sentenced for

Governor Burnquist Removes
Sheriff on Charge of Neglect
St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 3. Sheriff
John Wagner of Ramsey county was
removed from office by Governor
Burnquist today on a charge of non
feasance, growing out of reports that
he did not act to prevent rioting here
yesterday in connection with the
"street car strike.
Street car service in this city,
which was abandoned last night after
a score of cars had been wrecked by
a crowd of several hundred union
sympathizers, was resumed early to
day. The first cars to leave the barns
were followed by automobiles con
taining members of the home guard.
There was no interference, however,
and by early forenoon, it was said,
practically normal service was being

American Press Asociation ,
' Files Bankruptcy Petition
New York, Dec. 3. The American
Press association, a West Virginia
corporation organized in 1900, filed a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy to
day, its schedule showing liabilities of
more than $1,100,000, chiefly on ac
count of a judgment obtained by the
American Press association, incorpor
ated in New York. The assets are
'$9,026.
The West Virginia corporation was
in the nature of a subsidiary of the
New York company, and the finan
cial standing of the latter organiza
tion is not impaired by the proceed
ings, it was stated by Charles A. Bro
dek, attorney for the American Press
association of New York.
Germans Cease All Attacks
On the Italian Front
Washington, Dec. 3. An official
dispatch from Rome today says Aus-tro-German
attacks on the Italian
front have ceased entirely.
Although the Teutonic invasion was
launched under rain and snow, the
German press explains the sudden in
activity to unfavorable atmospheric
conditions. Th truth is, according
to the dispatch, that the.Italian army,
eorganized after the crisis, is now
olding the line.

ALLIES SOLVE
SHIP PROBLEM,
SAYS MR. COLBY
Paris, Dec. 3. The problem of ship
ping has been solved by the allies,
Bainbridge Colby, representative of
the American shipping board at the inter-allied
conference, said today. The
solution is found in the enormous
shipbuilding program of the United
States. '
"I am not permitted, by the nature
of things, to discuss the work of our
mission and its results," said Mr. Col
by. "I can say, however, that it has
been of the highest alue and sig
nificance. My time has been almost
entirely engaged with the shipping
problem, which is in a sense the prob
lem of the war.
"I think I can fairly sa that the
problem is solved. The stupendous
building program of America is the
answer to the submarine, the answer
which the defective psychology of
Germany could not foresee.
"Of course, the most fruitful thing
about our visit is the opportunity it
has given us to meet face to face
and exchange views with the men who
are directing the mighty events now
passing.
"But to me the most interesting
contact has been with the men at
the front. Here you find no trace of
the doubts or hesitati ns of the coun
cil chamber. The soldiers are splen
did. It is almost incredible that
after three years of war ohe should
find such tone and spirit among the
fighting forces.
"Our men are beginning to show in
the vast scene. With successive con
tingents arriving at intervals, the
American soldier is becoming a fa
miliar sight in France. He is im
mensely popular. Everywhere his fine
appearance, good nature and soldierly
bearing have won for him universal
admiration and respect."
Entire Crew of Sunken
Ship Thor is Rescued
Honolulu, Dec. 3. After 14 days at
sea in a 22-foot open lifeboat 15 mem
bers of the rew of the foundered
Norwegian steamer Thor were landed
here, all of, the crew of the vessel
now being accounted for. The boat,
which was commanded by First Mate
Rolff Anderson, was picked up yes
terday off the island of Opu by a
Japanese fishing sampan and the men
were brought here.
All of the refugees had suffered se
verely from exposure and exhaustion.
Tkey had plenty of food, but their
water supply was insufficient. The
little craft encountered severe storms
and was nearly wrecked on the rocks
of Kapuka and Oapu, but had sailed
850 miles by chart toward Honolulu
when picked up.
First Mate Anderson stated that
the Thor broke in two in a heavy
storm in latitude 34 north, longitude
161 west. The crew left the sinking
ship in two boats. One was picked
up November 21 by a Japanese
steamer.
Pershing Declares Germany Can,
Must and Will Be Beaten in War
New York. Dec. 3. Bishop Luther B. Wilson, who recently returned
from Europe where he went on a mission for the Young Men's Christian
association, brought back with him a message to the American people from
General "Jack" Pershing, American commander in France. The message,
which was read for the first time today, said:
"Tell them there is no ground for the heresy that Germany cannot be
beaten. Germany can be beaten. Germany must be beaten and Germany
will be beaten."

SULPHUR MINED
BY U5H0F STEAM
Forced to Surface in Melted
Form hj Means of Ingenious
Process That Saves Day
in This War Time.
Washington, Dec. 3. A mono
graph on "Sulphur" has been issued by
the United States National musucm
from the pen of Joseph E. Pogue of
the division of mineral technology,
and presents in a few pages, in simple
and non-technical manner, the strik
ing aspects of one of the most inter
esting mineral industries in -the
country. A feature of particular value
is a series 6f half-tone plates of a
typical sulphur mine, with the under
ground disposition of the sulphur ex
posed to sight, so. reproduced as to
give the appearaTke of bird's-eye or
aeroplane view of both occurrence and
mining.
At the outbreak of the war in 1914,
the United States was producing each
year about 350,000 tons of sulphur,
valued at a little over $6,000,000. This
quality was sufficient to supply the
needs of this country and contributed
about 100,000 tons to European mar
kets. With the development of war
activities however, the production
has increased to meet the growing
needs of munition makers, while the
exports have decreased as a result
of. disturbed trade conditions and the
need for building up reserves at
home,
But One Big Deposit.
It is a singular fact that the chief
raw materials of explosive manufac
ture are localized in a remarkable
manner, and sulphur is no exception
to this rule. In the United States
practically the-entire supply comes
from a ' number of deposits in
Louisiana and Texas, near the gulf
coast. These deposits are similar in
nature and consist of a series of
beds and lenses of pure sulphur at a
depth of several hundred feet from
the surface.
The discovery of the occurrence of
sulphur of this type was made as far
back as 1865, in connection with a
well drilled for oil. All attempts at
niining the sulphur failed, however,
until some 15 years ago, when a
method was devised for winning this
substance without recourse to the
ordinary costly - underground opera
tions usually prosecuted in niining.
This process makes use of the fact
that sulphur melts at a, relatively low
temperature. By drilling a well
through the overlying rock until the
sulphur bed is tapped and then sink
ing a series of interpenetrating pipes
through which superheated steam is
forced, the sulphur is melted and
forced to the surface as a hot liquid
where it is piped to large bins, into
which it pours and cools. This pro
cess, which is known as the Frasch
process, after its inventor, Jias been
described as one of-the triumphs of
modern technology, and its success
ful application to the gulf coast de-
posits has in the past IS years trans
ferred the center of the world's sul
phur industry from the island of
Sicily to the United States, making
our nation absolutely independent of
the rest of the world in this important
particular.
With the development of the world
war, the sulphur deposits of the gulf
regions have, of course, assumed
special importance as supplying the
sulphur needed in the manufacture of
gunpowder and other explosives. But
in addition to, this, these deposits
have quite unexpectedly during the
past few months been able to meet
and solve a critical resource problem
arising out of the submarine cam
paign. This problem concerned the
raw materials of the large and very
vital sulphuric-acid industry, and
arose from the fact that most of the
several million tons of sulphuric acid
used in this country, was made from
a sulphuf-bearing mineral called
nyrite, brought as ballast in quantity
from large deposits in Spain. The
restricted shipping conditions result
ing from recent events as a matter
of course seriously affected this source
of supply, and since sulphuric acid is
a product nearly as fundamental to
industry as iron or coal, the situa
tion bade fair to assume critical pro
portions. But it so happens that
crude sulphur under emergency can
also be used in making sulphuric acid,
and accordingly the gulf sulphur de
posits have come forward to tide over
the dearth of Spanish pyrite until
the domestic supplies of pyrite, which
are adequate but as yet only in part
developed, can be brought up to a
suitable measure of productiveness.
There are numerous lean deposits
of sujphur in many of the western
states, but these as yet have practical
ly no effect upon the output of the
country. It is therefore certain that
without the gulf deposits and the in
genious method of making them avail
able, this country would have scarce
ly been able to meet successfully the
war needs of sulphur and sulphuric
acid.
Lithuanians Starving

Killing Lover's Wife
Through Jealousy
Dedham, Mass., Dec.3. Miss Har
riet A. Varney, a nurse, was today
placed on trial, accused of th mur
der of Mrs. Pauline A. Keyes, the
bride and former stenographer in tht
office of her husband, George H,
Keyes, a real estate dealer of Boston,
Jealousy is the motive alleged.
At the hour when the body of his
young wife was found by firemen
who had responded for a small blaze
in the kitchen of the Keyes home in
Brookline, Keyes was lunching in
Boston with Miss Varney, and it was
the admittedly intimate friendship be
tween the two that directed suspicion
against the nurse.
The state alleges that after shoot
ing his wrte, Miss Varney joined
Keyes with the purpose of establish
ing an alibi. Keyes is expected to ap
pear as one of the most important
witnesses for the prosecution. He is
a former resident of Seattle, Wash. .
Police investigation developed that
the nurse had been known to some as
the wife of Keyes. He was divorced
from his first wife and married his
stenographer 10 months, before she
was murdered.
