MOOSE INVITE

Statement Issued Urging Republicans
to Take Stand Third Party Men Can

L asr} i.
Chicago, Jan. 12.-In a. frank.
straightfor ward, statement to the Am
erican people, as Mr.. Perkins termed
it. the progressive national committee,
in session at the Congress hotel. last
night opened the door for the COM
plete amalgamation of the republican
and progressive parties.
The declaration fixes June Z as the
date Of the progressive national con-
vention, the same an that fixed by the
republicans and also in Chicago.
It declares for a reunion Of the party
strength, the return Of the progress
ives to the republican fold In order
that the present democratic admins
rtration may be turned out
While the official statement, held by
some Of the generals to be the dust
to dust and ashes to ashes page in
the history of the progressive party,
bears the signatures only Of national
committeeman to the Chicago confer
ence, it is understood to embody ex-
actly the views entertained by Colonel
Roosevelt.
That the progressives, too, will MOI
insist on the nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt by the republicans as the
price of amalgamation was the speci-
fic statement of George w. Perkins,
who arranged the conference and who
was understood to speak ex-catbedra
with respect to Colonel Roosevelt.
I'VE are all hoping" said Mr.. Per.
kins with deliberatton as the newspa-
per men took down his words, that
both parties will agree on somebody.
and 1t need not necessarily be Mr..
Roosevelt
The real purpose OF bringing the
progressive convention to Chicago the
same week the republicans meet in
! June. rs was esSclusi. .sAsy Set fUrth IN
Mondays Chicago Tribune, is to force
if possible, the nomination OF Colonel
Roosevelt by the republicans. II they
fail in this they will accept some other
republican, preferably Justice Hughes.
Just how many second choices the
progressive leaders have is not yet
disclosed
In this crisis Of our country" Mr..
Perkins further explained. "the devel-
opments Of q few weeks may radical
ly Change everything. It is now only
January. The conventions will be held
in June. BY that time many names
might be considered. No one can tell
who may develop as the crisis devel-
ops. But repeat we are all hoping
that both parties may agree on the
same candidate"

Most Concerned, For Failure to Re-

Point-Gsrmans Hold Slight Gains.

London, Jan. 12.-Announcement OF
the occupation Of Mount Lovcen, in
Montenegro. by Austrians, altho it is
not confirmed from entente sources, is
generally expected here as true. Un-
easiness which is freely expressed in
Italy is reflected in the English and
French newspapers. The loss OF
Lovcen from the point Of view of the
allies is serious owing to the fact that
its summit dominates Cattaro bay, the
Austrian naval base.
Before Italy entered the war the
French had established a number OF
guns on the mountain and had pre-
pared emplacements for heavy guns
which could have swept the bay. Aus
tria, by seizing it, forestalled this
danger and is in commanding posi-
ton with regard the Cettinje. the capi-
tai of Montenegro, which is q little
over six miles distant.
Invaders Making Progress.
The Austrian advance, considering
the distance to be covered, was much
slower than they made in the Teuton
conquest Of Serbia but in considera-
tion Of the formidable obstacles which
the mountainous character Of the
county presents, it is conceded that
the invaders are making steady prog
ress.
The question Is being anxiously
raised as to why the entente allies did
not long ago send aid to the Monte
negrine. and in particular why italy
which is more affected by this AUS
trian invasion, had not taken pre-
ventive measures. The Austrians are
now only ten miles from the capital OF
Montenegro, and . successful blow at
the heart OF the country may have The
senect, 1t Il said by military critics, Of

slight gain, made as q result Of the de-
termined offensive Of last Saturday and

thorities say that the German forces
which delivered the attack lost heavily.
as, with three divisions they advanced
in face Of the French artillery fire,
which took terrible toll.
From the eastern front 1t is reported
that comparative lull at present pre-
walls. Special dispatches affirm that
the Russians have been so successful
in consolidating their new positions
that the Austro- Germans have begun
to remove the supplies from the bases
which they had established in prepa-
ration for the advance which they in
tended to make in the coming spring.

CHIHUAHUA CITY, July 17.-Sev- eral scattered groups of Villistas have eluded the cordOn of government troops Florido bottoms and have reassembled i, at Tinajas and Las Escobas. on the road to Ojinaga and are making their way north with the object of making another raid on the American border. according to confidential advices to General Jacinto Trevino today.
 The advices which came from Santa Rosalia said the outlaws skirted Chi huahua City by travelling in small groups to the little settlements north east of here.
 General Trevino immediately order ed the commanders of the garrsons at | Ojinaga and Piedras Negras to throw troops out in an attempt to intercept the bandits, whose numbers were esti- mated at about two hundred. He pointed out, however, that the nature of the terrain is such that some of the outlaws might evade the government 1 troops and suggested that it would be well Tor military authorities on the American side of the frontier to be es- pecially vigilant.
 With the advent of the rainy sea- son." he said, "the abundant water supply makes it easy Tor small bands to deviate from beaten roads and old water holes. However the Mexican troops will do everything they can tC prevent the bandits reaching the ! American border"
