After concentrating strong forces

For Entering Repub-

PROGRESSIVES MAY
RETURN TO FOLD
Mccormick Explains That While He
Entered Caucus in Order to Break
Deadlock on Speakership, Right
Principals in Other Parties in 1916
Will Secure Support of Moosers-
Says Many Will Return.

Chicago, Jan. 23-Medill Mccormick,
Of the progressive party and progress
sive member of the Illinois legislature
today issued statement explaining his
acceptance OF the invitation to attend
the caucus of the republicans at
Springfield. He said:
"The great number of letters I have
received from republicans as we'll as
from progressives all over the country
show that undue Importance has been
given to my participation at the repub-
lican caucus, because of unintentional
misquotation of my statement on the
part of correspondents, who. of course.
were not present.
1.-THE pure pleasure Of association of
old friends has been made to imply
that we gave promises regarding our
future party obligations. We gave none
and none was asked"
See End Of Party.
Mr.. Mccormick said he and Mr.. Hix
an associate progressive, were con-
fronted with the duty Of breaking a
deadlock over the speakership.
Referring to the future of the pro-
gressives, he said:
1T may be that in 1916 neither of
the old parties will adopt u program
or put forward candidates who can be
approved by the progressive national
convention, but If either does SO, It is
possible II will secure the support of
progressives. Some few, OF course, es-
pecially in states like California, Col
-orado and Pennsylvania, will go to the
fAemocratic party. Some few in states
like New. York, Indiana and Illinois
will go to the republican. party without
reference to collective action by the
majority"

Relief Of 6ejQians.

Relief Of BeIgians.
Sioux City. Jan. 23.-With a total of
$20,63S. the Eleventh congressional dis
trict of the state Is among the leaders
in the support OF the Belgian relief
fund, the report of which was made
public today by John Il. Welch. of
Mapleton, chairman Of the campaign
in this district. Altho the complete re-
ports from other districts in Iowa have
not been made as yet, It. Is thought
that the Eleventh district will rank
high in total contributions.
Sioux City was easily the leading
city in the district. giving $3.1s1. This
amount includes The Tribune fund OF
approximately $1,000, which was the
first amount of any consequence to be
raised.
A remarkable showing was made by
. number of the smaller towns In the
district. At Sheldon. flour estimated at
$1,6SS was donated, ranking second in
the district. Ida Grove comes next
with $7s4; LeMars, with 500; Newell.
with $500. and number Of other
smaller communities. with $3.50. In
many places the contributions were
made entirely In corn or grain pro-
ducts.
Besides the amount given. guam
tity Of clothing and other merchandise
was shipped from various towns to the
relief Of the Belgians. Also some
money was sent direct to etate head
quarters.

For SfOf 200, GOO.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-After two
days of debate on the general state of
the national defenses, the house last
night passed without a roll call the
army and appropriation bill CARRYING
S1O1. 100000.
Advocates of immediate strength
ening Of the military establishment
fought to the last for additional ap-
preparations, but their efforts met with
no encouragement from either demo-
cratic or republican leaders.
The last roll call on motion by
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
setts to recommit the bill with in
structions to report back an amend-
ment carrying slGG0.Co0 for aviation
was defeated 253 to 81

the army during the coming fiscal year.
includes 100000 for the purchase of
twenty five aeroplanes and $4,000 for
an armored motor car

them, furnished texts for long dis
cussions on the use of the aeroplanes
and arnored motor car in the Euro
pean war.
The appropriation for the purchase
Of field artillery material was in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
An amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Deitrick, of Massachusetts
and adopted practically without op-
position. would prohibit the use of
stop watches and other speeding
up" devices in connection with So
called scientific management systems
in army arsenals and shops.
Representatives Of union labor have
been fighting for this prohibition for
several years and bills similar to the
Deitrick amendment and applying to
all government shops, including navy
yards. are pending before committees.
The house also adopted an amend
ment by Representative Tavenner of
Illinois, to require that all OF the
munitions of war provided for in the
bill shall be manufactured in govern
ment plants.

ing captains of the Porto Rican regi-
ment Of infantry as captains in the

shall be expended to complete the

During today's debate Representa-
tive Guernsey, of Maine, made plea
for stronger coast defenses, declaring
that If Great Britain should go to war
with the United States over questions
arising from the European war "the
plan would be to seize the city Of Port
land. set Maine off into Canada over
night. and make property and life there
