AMERICAN PROPOSALS
FAVORED BY GERANY.

Berlin, Feb. q (via London).-
The American note to Germany and
Great Britain on the subject of food
stuffs to civilian population of bellig-
erents and submarine activities at sea,
a copy of which was handed to the
German Foreign Office by Ambassa-
dor Gerard the night of Feb. %, has
been a subject of exhaustive discus
sion for the past two days between
the German imperial authorities con-
cerned and the American Ambassador.
AS a result of this close attention, the
German reply is gradually taking de-
finite FORM
A most competent and reliable au-
thority has stated that the American
proposals are regarded as constitut-
ing satisfactory basis for future ne
gotiations and that they are them
selves in many respects acceptable.
Certain of the proposals, however,
will be subjected to more or less i'm
portant notifications.
Government circles have expressed
themselves as impressed by the friend
1y spirit in which these proposals
have been advanced, and the evident
desire on the part of the American Ad-
ministration to reach solution of
the diff culties involved in the pre-
sent methods of maritime warfare to
belligerents and neutrals alike.

WOMEN VOTERS POLL IT
PER CENT OF REGISTRATION

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Women voting at
primaries for the first time in may
orally contest in Chicago polled II
per cent of their registration as
against 20 per cent of the men, the
tabulations show. In no instance of
Importance, however, did the women
decide contest. Robert M. Sweitzer,
who was nominated by the Democrats
over Mayor Harris son by 1881 playal-
ity, obtained his full quota of female
votes. The campaign argument of
Harrison supporters that "the vice
trust favored Sweitzer and that he
favored an open town." apparently did
not appeal to the women.
William Hale Thompson's plurality
of more than 5000 male votes for the
Republican nomination was reduced to
2,235 by woman's plurality for Judge
Harry Olson. Thompson made his
campaign largely on the ground that
he was the author of the first child
ren's playground and favored small
parks for children. In nearly all con-
tests except that between Thompson
and Olson the female vote was merely
cumulative.

EFFORTS TO END MENACE TO
NEUTRAL SHIPPING IN THE
GERMAN WAR ZONE
CAUSES TENSION.
AMERICAN PLANS ARE
SUBMITTED TO ALLIES
Seek the Elimination by Germany of
Recently Prescribed Blockade of
Great Britain and the Adop-
ton by All BelIigerents
of a Definite Policy.

Washington, Feb. 26-There was
no concealment in high official quar-
tiers here of the anxiety felt regarding
the international diplomatic situation
| with regard to the proposals made
by the United States, designed to END
the menace to neutral shipping arts
ing from the retaliatory measures adj
opted by the European belligerents
toward one another.
| High officials felt, admittedly, that
if the present tension over the atti-
tude of the belligerents continues and
any American lives are proved to have
been lost as result of their activ-
tiles, the Washington government
may be called upon to abandon it's
present attitude of friendliness to-
ward all the warning nations.
U. S. Plan Submitted to Allies.
Great Britain has submitted to her
allies, France and Russia, the pro-
posals made by the United States gov
eminent.
Briefly, the American proposals,
which have been submitted to both
Britain and Germany, seek the elm
ination by Germany of the recently
prescribed war zone around Great
Britain and Ireland and the adoption
by all the belligerents of definite
policy with regard to the shipment of
population of their enemies.
1t is not expected that reply to
the informal communication from the
American government will be received
here for at least two days.
From such preliminary observations
as American diplomatic officers
abroad already have made, there is
said to be some encouragement in the
manner of the reception of the pro-
posals at London. Germany is inclin-
ed toward an acceptance of the sug-
gestions, it is stated, but upon the
attitude of Great Britain depends the
next move in the situation.
NeutraIs Follow American Lead
The strong move which the Scandi-
navian countries, Italy and Holland
and other neutral countries, have as
sumed toward the retaliatory meas
ures adopted by the belligerents ID
playing considerable part in the sit
uation. Although the American pro-
posals have not been communicated
officially to other neutrals, 1t may be
stated that practically all the neutral
governments of Europe are in accord
with the Washington government
Officials, while reticent about what
has been said to Germany and Great
Britain In the latest communication,
do not deny that the gravity OF the
whole situation has been made unmis.
takably clear.

| Aurora, Ill.,, Feb. 27.-The murder OF
Emma Peterson has aroused residents
| of Aurora to great excitement. 1t is
the third unsoIved killing within a
year.
In each of the three murders the
| victim has been sIugged to death. In
no case has the murderer been caught.
Aurora, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-In an old
wooden glove, one that was worn at
some time by man engaged in hard
labor, the police pinned their greatest
hope Of running down the mysterious
murderer who struck down Miss EN-
ma Peterson, 81 years old, with short
section of heavy gas pipe.
The glove, with the piece of pipe,
was found within half block of where
the young woman was murdered in
fashionable Lake street.
The young woman's handbag, open
ed and rifed, was found block and
half away, on the Northwestern rail-
road tracks. The glove has been care
fully guarded and will not be exposed
until it is given bloodhounds for the
scent.

There the trail was lost in the water.
Third Mysterious Girl Murder.
Goaded to desperate measures by
this, the third mysterious girl murder
here in a year, plain clothes men and
uniformed police, working under the
personal direction of Chief Frank
Michels, arrested twenty-five negro
and seventeen white suspects in their
hunt for the slayer of Miss Peterson.
The officers are hopeful that the
bloodhounds will be of great aid to
them, as Gordon of police stood all
night around the scene of the crime
No one was permitted to go near the
spot near former Senator Hopkins
home, where the body was found with
the head crushed in.

Ter, the daughter of former Mayor Mil

pipe wrench as she passed out into the
shadows of the Free Methodist church,
a great, tall man, wearing a long
overcoat," is being sought.

London, Feb. 27.-All the forts al
the entrance of the Dardanelles have
been reduced by the allied fleet. This
announcement has just been made
The announcement of the secretary
of the admiralty follows:
THE weather moderating, the bonn
bardment of the outer forts of the
Dardanelles was renewed at O'Clock
in the morning. After a period of long
range fire the squadron of battleships
attacked at close range. All the forts
at the entrance to the straits were re-
duced, and the operations are contin-
uing."
For several days the allied British
and French fleet has been pounding
at these forts which constituted the
greatest obstacle to passage of the
straits Within the straits and in the
Sea of Marmora are other fortifica-
tons, but these are believed to be of
a weaker structure.
The official statement says that the
operations are proceeding and that
after period of long range fire the
warships attacked at close range.
Straits Guarded by Mines.

lines of mines believed to number at

BODY OF "U' STUDENT FOUND
SVANHILD AMUNDSON KILLED
HERSELF ON CREEK BANK.
Street Car Conductor Gives Real Clue
to Searchers-Students Dis
cover Remains.

Minneapolis, Feb 27.-The body of
Svanhild Amundson has been found
on the south bank of Minnehaha creek
near Vincent avenue south and Fifty
fifth street. 1t was nearly covered
with drifted snow. She had killed
herself, as her friends suspected be-
cause she thought her work in the
freshman class of the university col
lege of dentistry was a failure.
Search for the girl or her body had
been practically unremitting since her
disappearance a week ago. Success
came after working on many clews,
the last one having been furnished by
a street car conductor who saw Miss
Amundson leave an Oak and Harriet
car at Sheridan avenue south and
Fiftieth street on the morning she
was reported missing.
Body Found by Students.
The searchers who found the body
were university students and employees,
headed by Prof. E. E. Nicholson and
Detectives Colwell and Berry of the
Minneapolis police. They went to the
crossing where the conductor, Nels
Westmark, said a girl answering the
description of Miss Amundson alighted
Thursday morning last week, and after
a search of ten minutes the body had
been found.
To her friends Miss Amundson often
had declared she wanted to die in sum-
mer, when all the trees were in foil
age. She wanted to lie down all
dressed in white beside a babbling
brook, where the sound of the wind
was like music through the trees.
This was the way she died, save that
instead of the green leaves of sum-
mer to cover her body she had to be
content with the drifting SHOWS of win
ter In little hollow, hidden by
group of trees, she lay down within
hearing of the babbling Minnehaha.
She was dressed in a white waist.
1t was her work in chemistry that |
caused Miss Amundson the most trou- !
BILE, and it was with chemicals she was |
accustomed to using in her class work |
that she accomplished her end. BIZ |
chloride of mercury, nitric acid and |
chloride of potassium, taken from the |
chemical laboratory in which she |
worked were found in her room.
Which one of them she used has not
been determined, but the action of
either is slow and painful.
