To Put a Stop to Firing Across the Border by Daring Mexicans. Washington, Jan. 2.?President Wil son today received from Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, now in charge at Naco, Ariz., a report which is understood to recommend strongly that immediate and grave steps be taken by the United States to put an end to firing across the border by Mexicans. It is believed the report informs the president that all peaceful efforts to relieve the situation have failed and that the only thing left to do is to use force. The receipt of the dispatch from General Scott startled the war and state departments into action and occupied the attention of both to the exclusion of everything else. The dispatch came to the war department and was put in the hands of Acting Secretary of War Beckinridge. He sent one copy to the state department and forwarded another note to Secretary of War Garrison, who is at Atlantic City. Acting Secretary of State Lansing took the dispatch to the White House and discussed it with President Wilson. On his return to the department he held conferences with Acting Secretary Breckinridge, Major P. D. Loekridge and other officers. The president also held a series of j conferences and instead of going to | play golf as is his usual Saturday custom, he sent for Senators Smith of Arizona and Stone of Missouri chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. Both senators af, terwards denied that they had been summoned to discuss the Naco situation. * ********* * The Herald Office has the host * * type in the world with which to * * print your legal blanks at any * * time you need them.

Smith Has the Floor in Interest of Measure. SOME IMPORTANT BILLS Senator Smith Realizes He is Meeting* With Pretty Tough Propositions.?On the Job As the old year passed into the new official Washington last week got busy with the many important things that are now before it. A recent dispatch fi'om Washington says: And let us not forget for a moment that there will be much in this year 1915. It will be full to the brim with stories of war and bloodv camaore. of peace overtures and national prohibition, of immigration and shipping, and other kindred topics foremost in i the public mind. But right now what is it that this official Washington is doing? For what purpose and to what end are the national lawmakers toiling along and what are the prospects that congress will close its doors early in March These are the questions that the American people are closely following and it is well, too, because they are the big topic of the day to the thinking world. In the senate, South Carolina's junion senator?E. D. Smith?has the floor and is endeavoring to place on the statute books an immigration bill that will take care of the present situation and yet which will, in all of its essential fmtnrns. h? f?i?? or?#i a.o* In the handling of this bill Senator Smith recognizes that he is meeting with some difficult propositions. No one knows better than he what the country needs in the way of immigration but, to tell the truth, he sees at the same time the evils which1 would be the result of an unrestricted immigration law. It has been well said that a man fleeing to the United States from Belgium or any other country to escape the war and military duty would make a very poor citizen here, and likewise it has been said that the people of Belgium being in the main poor, the United States would shortly be made a mammoth * poor house should not some very strict limitations be placed about their coming here. It is these problems which Senator Smith is working out and judging by what ho has already done? having held the bill intact against amendments which would cripple it?it is reasonable to believe that he will, in the end, be able to have passed a measure that will be fair and just, but which will, at the same time, prevent this country from becoming a common dumping ground for undesirables of other lands. So far as the South is concerned the most important feature connected with the shipping bill is the part that cotton plays in it. With enough ships to carry our cotton to foreign ports and with a marine insurance that would not he prohibitive in its rates, cotton would roll out of its present storage places and bo seat quickly on to othor POima-ino l." > ' ^ vv. I. VI IV.-) HJ UL' lisetl 111 inc manufactured product. I It is Senator Fletcher, acting chairman of the senate committee on commerce, who is in charge of this measure, and it is to him, therefore, that the South looks at the present tin to prepare a snipping bill that will adequately take care of the present situation. So far as the prohibition question is concerned, it might just as well be understood now that if anything along this line is accomplished it the senate within the next 12 months it will be necessary for an extra session to be called. And why is this so? With1 Republican members ready to inaugurate a filibuster at a moment's notice on the immigration bill and other pending measures, to say nothing of what they will do when the river and harbor bill comrs un ? A~-1 ?i> mill H'll- | ions filibuster on that measure being already assured, there is no room on the calendar for prohibition now. It is true that there are certain strong advocates of such a bill in the senate, among them Sheppard of Texas, Jones of Washington, but when they proclaim that they are going to assist on prohibition at the present time they mean, although they do not say it, that they are likewise going to insist i upon an extra session of congress and that, above all other things, is what the business world does not wish at the present time. So far as the South Carolina end of the national legislative programme is concerned, it may be said that the Palmetto State congressmen are back in harness again ready to see the pres sent session end March 4 or light on, possibly away into summer or fall, if circumstances shall decree that the congressional mill grind that long. This is a country of 100,000,00 people, and unlike the days when our states-1 men could ride to the national capital horseback and make the trip once a year and at their own ease, and do ail that might be required within a few months, we have grown to such a I point in the last decade that now it is practically impossible to attend to the peoples' wants inside a whole year, < much less what is called the ''short session." ' BIG GUNS IN CONFLICT WHILE SEAS OF MUD Put an End to the finoratir.nQ nf - ? - ? -? ? w V Vt v?vi VI iw VI the Foot Soldiers. GERMANS ARE REPULSED Violent Artillery Duels Have Raged Along Entire Battle Front During Past Several Days. News from Paris, France, under date of January 2nd has the following to say of the war situation at that j time: Paris, Jan. 2.?Violent artillery con tlicts have raged along the entire battle front from the sea to the Yosges ! during the past 48 hours almost to the utter exclusion of infantry attacks. So furious have been the bombardments and the reply of the hostile guns and j at such short range that to send the foot troops into the held of tire at any of the various storm centers of the j general battle would be suicidal. More over the open fields over which the troops might advance have been turned into great seas of mud, honeycombed with trenches and sappers' tunnels and furrowed and blasted by exploding shells until passage across them is almost impossible. Tonight official statement reports a , furious fusillade by the Germans against the allies' earthworks to the east of Vermelles (between Bethune and LensG) and in the region to the north of Chaulnes. Here the Germans opened with their big guns a terrific cannonade, followed by a raking fire , from the machine guns posted in their trenches, but the French reply was so terrific that the invaders were pref *-??? ? vciiicu 1 rum ionowmg tneir cannonade with an assault in force. On *he Flanders front the French and Belgian troops operating in front of Nieuport were stationary during the entire day, while artillery exchanged shots with the Germans, neither side being able to dislodge the hostile forces. At St. Georges the German bombardment has ceased and the allies are strengthening the position for use as a base in offensive maneuvers. Before Zonnebeke further along the Yser, the German also attacked with their big guns, but the range was long and their lire ineffective. Arras, Albert and Roye were impartant centers of the conflflict. In the environs of each these towns, ail of which are of great value stategieally, the fields were dug up and blasted by the explosion of grenades, and shrapnel until the region appeared as if an earthquake has struck it. On the road between Beaumetz and Archicourt two wagons loaded with shells supplying the French artillery were blown up by a German shell and a whole section of the highway blasted bv the terrific explosion which follow~.i Ul. .COPY SUMMONS FOR.
