the American Sussex note threat.
The fact that the allies intend to
state their terms and aims is thought
here likely to put Germany dip1o
matically 'in a hole" and hence to
make peace even more improbable
than it now seems.
Ant-Amcrican Press Vitriolic.
Berlin. Dec. 2S.-Germany's answer
to President Wilson and the prompt
ness with which it was made have
caused a good impression generally in
the press. Only the anti-American
newspapers show a tendency to dis
sent and express the view that inter-
ference of any kind by America is in
tolerable. The latter papers find
certain satisfaction in the proposal
that delegates of the belllgerents meet
on neutral territory which is inter-
preted. assclearIy excluding the partici-
patton of neutrals in the conference.
Count Reventlow, while avoiding a
direct attack on the German answer,
assumed that no German delegate will
be found willing to take a seat at the
same table with English and French
delegates after the recent speeches of
Premiers Lloyd-George and BRAND or
until those speeches are apologized
for.
The Taegliche Rundschau says that
neutrals in a peace conference. It be-
lieves that the German people will ap-
prove the proposal in the German
note, that the question of a league to
enforce peace be postponed until after
a settlement of the present war
Not Optimistic on Peace.
This disposition of certain pan-Ger-
man newspapers to read an unfavor-
able Interpretation into the Austrian
and German replies to President Will
sons note is not shared in official cir
cles where the Interpretation generally
voiced is that the reply is in princi-
pie. "A loyal acceptance of President
Wilson's suggestion promoting the
prospects of peace now and in the
future"
AS to the prospects that peace will
result directly from the present nego-
tiations and interchange of notes,
there Is no marked display of optim-
ism either in official or unofficial
quarters.

The debate which preceded the vote
ragged all day and was one of the
most exciting Of recent years. Party
lines were srlasle ed but the net re-
suit of the smashing was a large gain
in favor of the President. The ma
iority was made up of the votes of
1872 Democrats, SO Republicans and I
Progressive. The minority consist
ed of the votes of 102 Republicans,
SO Democrats and 7 Progressives and
Socialists.
Last week the Senate, by vote of
nearly to /, upheld the Presidents
policies.

Third Congressional district cannot
become thoroughly democratic,' re-
marked John T. Sullivan. He stated
that he was strongly in favor Of Or,
anization and that the Democratic
club is the real solution to the prob
lem.
United States Marshal E. H. Moore
of Dubuque, paid glowing tribute
to Mr. Marsh and his efforts in Or
ganizing the club. Mr.. Moore stat
ed that through the consistent ef-
forts of Mr.. Marsh the club was
launched in Des Moines during the
month of June, 1915. At first 1t
proved to be a small club but it was
composed of a set of live democrats.
AS time progressed it grew by leaps
and bounds until the club now has a
membership of about 1,400.
Mr.. Moore remarked that he hoped
that all the democrats of the Third
Congressional district would become
members of the club. 1--WE should all
help financially and individually in
getting out and bringing in the votes,
or in other words become members
of the Democratic club of Iowa." con-
cluded Mr.. Moore.

THE GREAT BATTLE OF ,vERDUN
a. STILL UNDECIDED.

The statement that the Germans
intend to stake their all upon the re-
suit of the battle Of Verdun seems
quite probable. Their great drive at
this French stronghold may succeed,
: but at this writing the chances are
against them. Their losses thus far
have been frightful, have been alto
getner ont Ct proportion to tile gains
they have Node.
According to apparently authentic re
ports the Germans have brought from
their Eastern front about 100000 vet
\ Grams and an enormous quantity of
big guns and munitions and with
these reinforcements commenced thei
great offensive more than two weeks
ago. They have smashed several OF
the French forts with their big guns
and have advanced a few miles, but
the French lines have not been
broken, nor has Verdun been cap
turned.
4 Fifteen months ago the Germans
Were unable to break through the
allies fortified lines, and at thai time
there were only 100000 British sol
diers in France. Now there are a
million British soldiers in France.
And the French boastingly ann ounce
that they will never again suffer
from want Of ammunition.
The allies undoubtedly outnumb er
the Germans, they have had fifteen
IN onths to fortify their lines and pre-
pare for this attack, and it seem al
most impossible for the Germans to
gain against such odds, but the i'm
possible, or what seems impossible,
sometimes happens and soldiers like
the Brandenburg regiments will bring
about the imp ossible if within the
power of mortal men.

PRESIDENTS MEXICAN POLICY
APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE,.

Senator Roots attack on the Presi-
dents Mexican policy has reacted
upon himself. According to Mr.. Roots
address to the New York Republican
State convention 100000 Americans
had sought their fortune" in Mexico.
When the Mexicans commenced kill
ling each other without mercy, these
Americans disregarded the advise of
return home. According to the Of
ficia1 report of the Secretary of State
76 Americans were killed in Mexico
from 1913 to 1915, including both of
those years. 1t is a wonder that
more were not killed when the hos
tility of some of the factions toward
Americans is taken into consideration
But Americans have been about as
safe in Mexico as Mexicans have
been on our side of the boundary
line. During the years 1918, 1914
and 1915, while the Mexicans were
killing rs Americans in Mexico, the
Americans killed 80 Mexicans in the
United States.
There were two ways of dealing
with Mexico, namely:
(D By treating Mexico as Presi
dent Taft and Wilson have treated
that unfortunate country.
(2.) By declaring war upon Mex
leo as Roosevelt and Root now say
the President should have done.
The Roosevelt-Root way would havt
cost this country thousands of lives
and hundreds Of millions Of money.
Few indeed are the Americans who
want to die, or have their sons die,
to help out the 10000 fortune hunt.
ers who insist upon remaining in a
hostile foreign country.

DEMOCRATS MEET IN CONVEN

(WaterlOO llmeS-1 rlDuue.)
| Unanimously endorsing the demo

staunch democrats representing the
Third Congressional district met in
convention yesterday in the grill
room of the RussellLamson hotel.
! One Of the features CT the gathering
was the endorsing of delegates to
attend the National Democratic con-
vention to be held in st. Louis.
| National Committee man, W. w.
Marsh acted as chairman at the meet
ing while Hubert Carr, of Manches-
! ter held the position of secretary
Marsh Gives Talk.
"'The Democratic club of Iowa now
has a membership CT between thlr-
teen and fourteen hundred. We Will
go into camp better equipperd for
the coming campaign stated Mr..
Marsh. Iowa democrats began their
crusade on preparedness long before
this word became national issue,
remarked the speaker, and are &C
ing into the coming campaign well
fortified and with much vigor The
speaker urged that all democrats he
come members of TIE club and that
they sign up at once.
The Federal Reserve System.
"There was a time when PRACTICAL
ly every banker in the United States
ridiculed tie proposed Federal Re-
serve system, today I dare sly
there is not a banker in the whole
country that does not honestly be-
tlieve that it was the greatest finan-
cial bill ever passed fy congress,
said the speaker Il firmly believe
that this great banking and currs ncy
bill is accountable for the stipend
ucus prosperity now existing in tf'
United States and that this country
owes to- the administration vote or
thanks fer the present prosperity.
Rural Mail Service.
"Pcetmaeter General Burleson is
advocating a fair days work for
fair days pay. and a determlnatlcn
to make a reform in the rural m'll
service Of TIE country is under way,
stated Mr.. Marsh AT resent there
are about $4,000 rural routes in the
United States which are being ope'-
ated at an annual cost of several
million dollars. This service was
started as an experiment and fas
been allowed to grow in a haphaz-
ard manner"
Mr.. Marsh stated that he personally
knew of one carrier in this state who
worked but one hour and SIS minutes
each day and was drawing a full
days pay. According to Mr.. Marsh
this is just one of the many exam
pies of useless expenditure. The
speaker declared this to be great
economic question and if the demo-
cratic party faced it squarely no re-
publican congressman will be elected
on this all important issue.
Several of the postmasters were
