National Issues at Verdi Tonight

tainly, giving a general summary as
we senator's have viewed them in
Washington, but | want to urge
particularly upon the voters the
names of your candidate for con
gress, my colleague, Senator Pittman
and f. f. Game, who aspires to the
lower house.
" For the short time since he has
invaded Washington, Pittman's rec

would be a lamentable thing if we
should elect President Wilson again
and fail to furnish him the partisan
support which must come from the
members of house and enate Of his
progressive way of thinking.

Sumner Goes Aground on New
Jersey Coast in Heavy
Fog

New York, Dec. IL. - The women
and children among the 232 pass
engers on the United States army
transport, Sumner, aground on the
New Jersey coast off Barnegat, have
all been taken off. according to a mes
sage received here to-day from Cap
tain Webber of the transport.
The coast guard cutter Mohawk has
arrived at the Summers position-the
first of the rescuing vessels to reach
her.
Arrangements have been made by
Colonel John NJ. Carson, depot quar-
termaster for the army transport
service here, to bring the passengers
to this city during the day.
The Sumner lies apparently not in
dangerous position. The weather
was foggy but the ground swell was
only light and moderate. The vessel,
which was proceeding from the canal
zone for New York, struck late last
night and sent out wireless calls for
help.
The persons rescued were taken
ashore in life boats.

France Will Kick Jofre
Upstairs to Get New
Blood Into Their Army

Paris, Dec. 12. - Joseph Jacques
Cesaire Joffre, commander-in-chief of
the Allied armies in the west, hero of
the battle of the Marine, master
strategist and savior of France, is to
be kicked upstairs"
France considers that Joffre has
done more for his country than even
Joan of Arc, but that he has given
of his best and must make way for
new blood, for fresh ideas, and for
greater energy. Nothing proves the
determination of the French to win
the war more than their decision to
shelve their idol. They are house.
cleaning, because they want to get on
with the war. The people no longer
care for personalities; victory is the
only thing that counts.
1t is possible that Joffre will be
made chief of the Allied War Council,
where his ripe experience will be of
the greatest value, although he will
be shorn of actual power.
Who is to succeed him is something
to be decided probably this week. The
choice appears to be General Petain,
the defender of Verdun. General Nj
velle. who is the hero of the terrible
fighting around Forts Douamont and
Vaux, had previously been mentioned.

New French Government
Will Make Appearance
in Public Wednesday

Paris, Dec. IL. - Premier BRAND,
speaking to group of reporters last
night. said:
There is nothing absolutely posi-
tive as yet, but you can announce that
the new government will in all prob
ability appear in the Chamber of De-
puties Wednesday"
Some of the deputies are not salts
fed with the plan of a concentrated
ministry and desire to condemn Par
Lament. Deputy Georges Bonnefous
has introduced a bill for the creation
of a parliamentary committee of ma
tional defense which will continue for
the duration of the war. This COM
mittee would consist of thiry delegates
elected by the deputies and forty
elected by the Senate. The commit
tee would meet weekly to consider in
formation relative to the military, di-
plomatic and economic conduct of
the war as communicated by the gov
ernment. The Chamber and the Sem
ate would hold a brief session not
more than once a month in which
to transact necessary business and
ratify the decisions of the committee.

History in the Making;
AWait Final Decision

Petrograd, Dec. II. via London.
Dec. IL. - The swift procession of
political events which has been max
has come to temporary halt await
ing the final decision of the govern
ment. The present situation is as
follows:
"A majority of both parliamentary
chambers, for the first time in their
existence, present a united front
against the government ana a series of
extraordinary sensational accusations
against the present cabinet and dis
closures of government inefficiency
and corrupt influences have been crys-
tallized into the more dignified shape
of demand tor n ministry which can
be supported by the legislative bodies
and the public opinion of the nation.
Both chambers are firm in their in
sistance upon not merely a changed
personnel in the ministry, but the final
elimination of those dark forces
which formed the topic of so many
impossible utterances in the Duma
and the imperial council 1t is impos-
sible to so closely into detail but the
present upheaval can be understood in
outline as tremendously patriotic
protest against the efforts of the Ger
man party and all other influences
which have attempted it to a success
full conclusion Of the war.
The next move will undoubtedly be
made by the government. In the
meantime appeals to Russia for a
responsible ministry are heard
everywhere and the newspapers print
long articles anticipating the new re-
gime which is regarded as inevitable.

WILSON TO PROMPTLY
TRANSMIT PROPOSALS

Washington. ID. c., Dec. 12.-News
that Germany and her allies were
about to enter on peace negotiations
was Immediately sent to President
Wilson. Speaking for the President,
Secretary Tumulty said he was deeply
interested, but could make no COM
ment, at least until 1t was learned
what reception the proposal received
from the entente allies.
The State Department received it's
first intimation of Germanys proposal
through the Associated Press dis
patches. from which officials assumed
that the offices of the neutrals ad-
dressed are asked only TO transmit the
proposals. This would be done so far
as thei United States is concerned
promptly on receipt of the official dis
patches in Washington. They will be
forwarded to all the entente countries
where the United States represents the
central powers diplomatically.
United States May Comment
Whether the United States would
accompany the transmission with any
comment or suggestion. 1t was indi-
Gated. depends entirely upon the ma
ture of the proposal and whether it is
considered likely of consideration. If
the offer is deemed one on which all
sides might negotiate, the United States
probably would urge that it be
taken up.
In transmitting the proposals, it was
officially stated, the United States
probably would follow the practice
which has been invariable so far in
acting as the medium of communi-
cation between the hostile govern
ments and would not make them pub
lie. The terms would. of course be
known to President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing, who would examine them
TO determine whether they should be
accompanied by any word from the
United States.
