Doran proposes an annual 3 mill levy
for the purpose of paying a bounty
on all live stock raised in Iowa and
slaughtered in an Iowa packing house.

of the many that are proposed as a re-

ties as the state is passing through.

pendency upon the Chicago markets
and other foreign trade centers. Sen
ator Doran points out that whenever

interview with DIR. Ludwig Ganghoefer,
the German author in which is given
further account of the writer's visit to
Emperor William at the imperial field
headquarters. DIR. Gangheofer says:
Il heard and saw an example of the
emperor's quiet patience with slander-
GUS statements which should be IN
structive for us all. Remarks of such
a nature embitter him, but even in his
greatest excitement he never losses the
mastery of his tongue. heard him say
in such case:
That is strong. but it's silly also.
1t is fortunate that truth always is
wiser in the long run and that it has
longer legs
'The lsnightly conduct of individual
opponents in the field gladdens En-
peror William" continues Dr. Gang
hoefer. And l have never heard any
man speak so justly of individualities
the courage and accomplishments of
the nations enemies. Even against
England I heard from the emperor no
unmeasured word spoken in anger.
Every verdict he pronounced severe as
it is, is within the bounds of supreme
reserve. Nevertheless, there is a slight,
but hardly noticeable vibration in his
majesty's voice when mention is made
of our Germanic cousins across the
channel"

IN WILSON MARINE PLAN

London. Feb. 3.-Raids by German
submarines on British commerce might
make United States merchant marine
valuable to Great Britain as means
to supply food. in the opinion of the
Daily News. which prints an editorial
today justifying President Wilson's at
titude on the ship purchase bill now
before congress.
The paper says "this Unprecedented
development OF state socialism"
is the only means whereby the,
United States can recover it's
place in the world of shipping. The
editorial sets forth that in the present
war the submarine has become a seri-
Gus menace to England's supply and.
In the future will dominate her position.
unless in the meantime science should
discover some effective means OF de-.

"Should it then threaten our ship

with starvation. says the Daily News,
''it will not be an unimportant fact that
a great neutral country possessing
mercantile marine of it's own. can send
its ships into our ports, unmolested and
unafraid."

ST. Paul Mimi. Feb. 3-Dr. Bern

connection that he declared war with

TO MEET THIS AFTERNOON

Washington, Feb. 4.-Closely guard
ed plans of the Senate administration
democrats for saving the ship bill were
adopted today leaving the boiling dem
ocrats out of the reckoning entirely and
making the bill agreeable to enough
progressive republicans to overcoms
the defections.
The plan as finally agreed upon was
to move as an amendment to the mo-
ton to recommit instructing the COM
merce committee to return the bill with
amendments providing that the govern
ment should not lease ships to private
corporations for a period longer than
12 months and that no ships of bellig-
erent nations be bought which would
disturb the neutrality of the United
States.

hour and one-half passed without Q

session Of the fight was carried on.
PLEDGED to Secrecy.
After reaching an agreement the eau
Gus adopted resolution pledging every
member to secrecy. Senator Kern;
chairman of the caucus, announced
that secrecy vas necessary for the OBJ
vious reason that to make the plan
public might mean it's Illustration.

Gus sources within the last few stIenu-
Gus DAYS.
'es..ill get btli i,1thegg Senate

positively is all that can be, said. The
opposition did not confide to us what
they intended to do last Monday. For
the same reason we cannot divulge our
plans"
Does the plan contemplate winning
votes for the bill?'
I'VE expect to hold all the votes that
we had for the BILL said Senator Kern.
do you mean the AZ votes which
stood fast Monday afternoon?"
THAT would not be enough" Sena-
tor Kern replied.
Kern Is Hopeful.
rs there hope for the bill?' the sen.
ator was asked
Hope deferred the senator replied.
''is combination of expectancy and
desire"
Later it was learned that when the
Clarke motion to recommit comes up
Senator Fletcher will move as an
amendment that the committee report
back within As hours. and that an
amendment be included which would
not commit the government to per-
lnanent policy. and that the time limit
for the undertaking be fixed.
