reactiOnary results OF the recent elec
tion. Both the republican and the dem
Ocratic parties have passed tariffs by
the old method of log rolling and the
people have now successfully repudi
ated them both.
"The progressive party specifically
declared this doctrine in it's platform
OF 1912 and pointed out the only way
to take the tariff out Of politics is by
the creation of permanent, expert
non partisan tariff commission. We call
attention to the necessity of prompt
action on the Murdock tariff committee
bill, introduced May, 1913.
Progressive principles are perma-
!, ,,,,.-sr and 1t is now more than ever
evident that the progressive party to-
day is the necessary organization for
their realization"
The question of moving the party
headquarters from New York was not
dealt with by the executive committee,
though in the conferences Clifford Pin
chot suggested that more westerly
location would bring the party head
quarters nearer to the great body of
progressive party voters.
Members of the committee who were
present were: George w. Perkins,
New York; William Finn, Pennsyl-
vania; Walter F. Brown, Ohio, and
Jane Adams and Medill Mccormick,

PROGRESSIVE PARTY WILL STAY IN FIELD

CHICAGO, Dec. 2. - Progressives
from "a states in conference session
of the executive committee Of the party
today expressed their confidence in
the progressive party principles and
their determination to continue the
party in action.
Reports were heard from the various
states and later statement was is
sued by the executive committee
through its chairman, George w. Per
kins of New York, declaring that the
progressive organization and campaign
education should continue and that the
national committee of the party should
be asked to fix the time and place for
holding the national convention uf %he
party in 1916 and to transact business
incidental to the presidential campaign
two years from now.
Not speaker made any suggestion
of abandoning the party and the sub
ject of amalgamation with either of
the older parties was not brought up.
The meeting in epitome was re-
viewed in the statement issued by the
executive committee after it's session.
The statement read:
"The executive committee of the pro-
gressive party at fully-attended meet
ing today, heard reports as to general
conditions and as to the state of the
organizations work throughout the
country. Ninety-one representative
progressives from "a states were pres
ent.
1T is found that in the 81 states
where the progressive party had tick
cts in the field at the last election it
polled an aggregate of more than
1,75O,O00 votes. Particularly encour-
aging reports of increased progressive
votes were received from southern
states, notably Louisiana and Georgia.
"The industrial depression and the
consequent reaction against the demo-
cratic tariff was undoubtedly the is
sue which primarily determined the

TRYING Time
FOR ITALIANS
Cravest Moment Will Be TODAY
When Parliament viii Hear
Governments Policy.

ROME, Dec. 2.-The Italian parlia.
ment will reassemble tomorrow and its
deliberations are awaited with anxiety,
as this is considered the gravest mo-
ment for Italy since it's unification.
Four hundred and so deputies and 300
senators are already in Rome to at
tend the session.
Premier Salandra, in presenting the
new cabinet, will make a statement
concerning the ministerial policy. An
especially interesting passage will deal
with the attitude of Italy with refer
ence to the present European war and
the premier will explain the reasons
that actuated the government in main
tanning armed and watchful neutral
ity," the object of which was to guar
antee the supreme interest of Italy
whenever threatened.
The statement will contain an an
nouncement of the military and naval
preparations, for which almost 1,00O,-
O,000 francs ($200, 0,OOO,O ,OO0) have been
and also of the steps TAX
en- to alleviate the suffering of the un-
employed.
The leaders of the various groups
will make brief speeches and it is ex-
pected the deputies and senators will
unite in showing confidence in the
with a view to having the
Italian parliament give evidence of it's
solidarity before the foreign powers.
Pressure in this direction has been
made on the socialists, who, in spite
of exceptional efforts, may possibly
show some opposition.

Servia first
This, however is only small affair
compared with what is going on in
North Poland. There the German army,
which, with the aid of reinforce
ments, succeeded in escaping from the
ring the Russians had forced around
it, has formed a new front and at
some points has resumed the offensive.
The Germans assert that in this series
of maneuvers, by which they were
able to check the Russians, they made
$4,000 prisoners.
The Russians, on the other hand, in
statement issued through Rome, says
their captures greatly exceed this
number. All agree that the losses
have been very heavy and that the
battle still is undecisive, as it probably
will be for some days.
For a moment, the allies are some
what disappointed that the realization
of a great Russian victory is denied
them. They take some consolation in
the fact that the German attempt to
pierce the Russian lines has failed,
and that. suffering from heavy losses,
the Germans are compelled to weaken
their armies elsewhere.

Chilean ambassador, from the minis
ter OF foreign affairs at Santiago.
The fear is expressed by the Chilean
officials that Germany's alleged vio-
lations of the neutrality of Chile may
influence tho other bcliigerents to
disregard the territorial Jurisdiction
of Chile and perhaps cause them to
send their warships within the three
mile limit to stop German operations.
The Chilan government made it
plain that 1t did not prefer one scheme
OF action to another, but urged that
whatever steps are taken should have
the earnest and united support of all
the American republics.
Originally Great Britain and France
asked the United States to exercise
its good offices with Ecuador and
Colombia to secure 4 strict observ-
ance by these nations of neutrality
obligations.
