COnqueror of Antwerp Says
Tobacco Is Best Friend Of
Al Soldiers At the Front


Berlin, Germany. Feb. 26.-The ''verein-
igte Tabak-Zeitungen" the official organ
OF the German tobacco men, published
number OF letters from German and Aus
tre-Hunsarian army leaders on the value OF
the tobacco for the soldiers in the field.
Gen. Won Beseler. the conqueror OF Antwerp
ana Novo GeOrgievsk, and present governor
general Of Poland, writes:
NO grit from home is greeted with great
er JOY by our officers and men than a
package OF tobacco, cigars or cigarets. To-
bacco is our best friend in the field. as IL
helps 20 tighten our sufferings and short
ems many sad hours.
1T is Of the highest importance that the
good spirits OF the troops be kept up at
all time. In this difficult task the leaders
have no better aid than tobacco. 1 do not
know what we would do II we should sud-
denly be deprived OF this stimulant.
The fanatics who see harm in tobacco
and consider smoking an unnecessary pleas
ure are entirely mistaken. All or these
misguided people would think differently II
they had to go through the war In hum
dreds OF thousands OF cases a pipe Of tobac-
co, a cigar or cigaret pacifies a hungry
stomach and fills a tired, exhausted man
with new energy.
THE few hours that We can spend smok-
ing and chatting In our shelters are the
only rays Of sunshine in our hard life In
the trenches and on the battle fields L
may safely say that tobacco is not only
our best friend but our truest ally, who
has aided us more than anything else

The advisory committee of the inter-

Robert Krakauer offered the sug-
gestion that the attendance upon the
farming congress and Rio Grande iubi-
lee celebration could be increased some
10000 persons if a stock show were
held in conjunction with the farming
congress. No action was taken upon
this suggestion save that Mr.. Drum
mond was requested to investigate the
matter and determine whether or not il
would be too great an undertaking.:
The committee went into the matter
of expense. but as the figures dealt
in are only estimates, it did not make
these amounts public. Some expressions
OF opinion were made as to whether or
not it would be the better plan to hold
the exhibit in the heart Of town rather
than at Washington park, but the tact
that there are buildings at the park
and sufficient room for additional
buildings. almost committed the ad-
visory board to the park plan.
To Make Survey of Park.
The committee decided TO hold an
other conference on Wednesday after
noon of next week, when a trip viii be
made to Washington park and survey
be made of the premises. The delay in
making the survey is Occasioned by the
fact that Mr.. DrummOnd has been
called from town for several days.

fererce were: George lie Baron, W. @.

MOOSE RESTRAINED
WITH DIFFICULTY
BY PARTY LEADERS
Only the Most Earnest Persua-
sion Prevents Convention
from Nominating
Roosevelt.

Auditorium Hall Chicago, June s.-The
progressive national convention met in
two tumultuous sessions to-day and adj
iourned Tonight until 1900 a. m. to-mor-
row.
The principal business Of the day was
the approval of plan to confer on peace
plans with the republican convention.
The progressive committee chosen was
George w. Perkins, Governor Hiram
johnson, Horace Wilkinson. Charles j.
Bonaparte and John NJ. Parker.
Throughout the day the leaders KEPT
control over the delegations more by per-
suasion and by constant reiteration Of
Chairman Robns's promise that the ma
iority would decide any questions that
arose. than by any actual hold they had
upon the delegations. The same deterni-
nation to nominate Theodore Roosevelt
was evident from the time the first dele
cation trooped in shortly after one o'clock.
until the last Went out shortly before
nire O'Clock tonight.
Leaders made no effort to conceal their
belief that failure of the conference to
agree or to find some possible basis for
an agreement could result in but one,
Colonel Roosevelt. In The words of Chair
man Robins. "to-mor-rw probably will
be big day" in the convention
only by many promises to place no
obstacles in the way Of the nomination
II Colonel Roosevelt woe the delegates
content to adjourn and await results from
the COnferecs.
The convention spent about four hours
in session, ending with a perfunctory
night gathering which resulted mostly IL
singing and cheering
The progressive platform with Its
principal planks devoted to an exposition
Of Americanism, preparedness, protection
ana woman suffragc, was laid before the
convention to-day. 1t was received witr
enthusiasm that presaged it's adoption
with but little If any change and wa:
made the unfinished business when tht

Although the nominee. plans are still
unsettled as to virtually all the details
Of the campaign, it is likely that he will
remain in New York until June 20, when
he expects to attend reunion of the
class of 81 Of Brown University, at
Providence, r. T.
To those who knew the nominee as a
supreme Court justice there was Il
marked difference in his bearing to-day.
| His air of studious reserve apparently
left him with the robes of his office
His eye sparkled with enjoyment, he
had a hearty hand grasp and a smile
for every man he met, and seemed en-
thusiastic in his welcome of old friends
