PEACE HORIZON BRIGHTENS IN WAR TERRITORY Prospects for Settlement of Differences Increase in South America. By United Press Prospects for a Pacific settlement of the Bolivian-Paraguayan dispute in which nearly fifty soldiers have been killed in clashes during the last two weeks in the disputed Chaco region increased today. While Paraguay has mobilzed her army, she simultaneously has accepted two offers of mediation, one by Argentina and one by the PanAmerican arbitration and counciliation conference at Washington. The situation in Bolivia, which was embroiled after the killing of twenty-four Bolivian troops at Ft. Vanguardia ,on Dec. 6, has become more calm and it is possible mediation may be accepted by that nation. It is the general consensus, however, that if mediation is not mutually accepted, war is threatened momentarily. Friday, Bolivia retaliated for the Paraguayan attack on Ft. Vanguardia, by seizing the Paraguayan forts of Boqueron, Valios, General Genes, Goma and Mariscal Gomez. Six Paraguayans and a considerable number of Bolivians are reported to have besn killed. Several On each side were wounded. Paraguay has ordered mobilization. It is believed an open declaration of \var may be made, Bolivia Ready to Mediate By United Press LA PAZ, Bolivia, Dec. 17.—Bolivia was prepared today to accept some offer for mediation of the dispute \yith Paraguay. News of the capture of Paraguyan forts in the Chaco district by Bolivian troops Friday tended to calm rather than aggravate the war-like spirit which has gripped the country since thirty-four Bolivians were killed at Ft. Vanguardia Dec. 6. It is felt there that Bolivia has carried out her desire to revenge what she considers an assault on her national dignity and has wiped out that score with Paraguay. A peaceful solution of the situation can now be reached, it is said. The reaction to the entire matter has been reversed. After the Bolivian defeat at Ft. Vanguardia, the Bolivian spirit flamed, and the Paraguayans remained calm. After Bolivia’s seizure of the Paraguyan fort last week, however, the Paraguyans flamed up and the Bolivians became more calm. Paraguay for Arbitration By United Press ASUNCION, Paraguay, Dec. 17. Foreign Minister Geronimo Zubizarreta in a note to Secretary of State Kellogg teday accepted on behalf of Paraguay the offer of the PanAmerican arbitration and conciliation conference at Washington to mediate the dispute between Paraguay and Bolivia.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MYSTIC ORIENT TALE BARED IN DEATH REPRIEVE t Spare Elephant Trainer After New Light on Murder Motives. By United Press LONDON, Dec. 17.—A remarkable story of oriental mysticism and religious persecution was told by the Daily News today in connection with the reprieve from death of San Dwe, Burmese elephant trainer sentenced for murder. The News said it understood that the reprieve, granted Saturday in the king’s name, was due to revelations received by San Dwe’s attorney immediately after the trial. San Dwe, a Burmese Christian, was sentenced for the murder of Said Ali, a Mohammedan elephant trainer with whom he lived in rooms over the tapir house at the London zoo. The News story said it was reported to San Dwe’s attorney that Said Ali used to make the Christian kneel on his towel in front of him. San Dwe would be forced to bow eight or ten times before Said Ali and treat him as a deity. Other elements of mystery previously had been introduced into the case to cast doubt on the police theory that robbery caused the crime. It was significant that the day before the murder, Pa Wa, sacred Burmese elephant, died in India. Mohammedan tradition says a curse descends when a sacred elephant is taken from its native country. San Dwe had accompanied Pa Wa on a world exhibition. It was considered probable that the Mohammedan had denounced the Christian for his impious act and attributed Pa Wa’s death to it.
