ANOTHER FEELER
From Germany On Submarines-New
Note TO Open Way For Discus.
sion On Defensive Arm
ament.

Washington, February 22;-Confi-
dental adyices from Berlin today in
dicate that Germany soon will inform
the United States that her previous as
surances that unresisting liners will
not be attacked without warning hold
good for further submarine operations
provided. however, that such liners
do not carry armament,
The German government will con-
tend, the advices state. that what now
is characterized as defensive arma-
ment really is offensive armament
when submarines are concerned and
will propose discussion with the Unit
ed States of what defensive armament
properly may be.
AS none of the British and French
liners now clearing from American
ports acrry any guns whatever such
assurances from Germany will be in
the nature of reassurances for the
safety of the neutrals they carry, even
under the terms of the new submarine
campaign.
In reiterating assurances regarding
the future conduct OF submarine war
fare. which first was given in notes
from Count Won Bernstorff, in the
Arabic case last September, it is con-
sidered probable that the German gov
ernment will state fatty that in all
the previous reyious negotiations IL
had been proceeding under the as
sumption that unarmed liners only
were the issue and that II had always
understood that the question OF armed
merohantmen did not enter

LAFOLLETTE TOSSES HAT INTO
CIRCLE.

Madison, Wis, February 22.-Before
conference of Progressive Republic
cans from various parts of Wisconsin,
Senator Robert NJ LaFollette, tonight
announced his candidacy for the pres
idency.
81 am a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for President in 1916, )"
declared Senator LaFollette. 81 be-
lieve that patriotic Progressive Repub-
licans are at this time under the
highest moral obligation to contest
every foot of ground i'm every state
in the Union for representations i'm the
Chicago convention"
Senator LaFollette declared in fa-
vor of an embargo on arms; for the
national manufacture of munitions of
war; asserted that any standing army
the government maintains instead of
leading wasteful, useuess lives, should
in times of peace be employed in So
cial service for the government; de-
clared for a conference of neutral ma
tons for early cessation of HOSTILE
ties
"One of the worst evils of he mill
tary spirit that is being fostered is
that absorbs public attention to such
an extent that other matters of great
interest go unnoticed," the Senator as
serted
He denounced the water power bill
now pending before the Senate as d
bad measure; assailed the navy league
propaganda and declared that the l.
100000 Republican voters of the
United States were not a willing party
to what took place at the Chicago con-
vention in 1912.
A full slate of delegates to the Chi
cago convention was chosen recently
to go before the Wisconsin spring pri-
maries. Announcement was made to-
day that LaFollette delegates would
be named in North Dakota.

SWIpED THE "GREASES''
Close Call For the Old Family Cat Of n
West Second Street Resi-
dent Tuesday.

"Greasers" used to be sort OF
luxury
Some of our elder brothers car
probably recall the lovely times they
have had at home playing England.
Germany with the other brothers and
sisters to see who would get the bacon
rind
And they also know how careful
mother wa tso not forget to cook the
rind for the dear children, while some
fond mothers would tie il to the wrist
of the baby in order that it might usl
it for a "greaser," and it certainly
was in class by itself when applied
in this way.
But nowadays things have changed
and the festive bacon rind is a sort
of blemish on your fair name if you
would mention it in social circles.
Consequently not much attention is
paid to it, otherwise than as a sort OF
cast-ofi.
Tuesday the old family cat of i
West Second street residence strayed
into a nearby grocery and got hold OF
a piece of rind that had been cut
off and laid carelessly aside
OF course, the cat got busy on the
rind and managed to get about half Of
it down its throat and then the fur
began to fly. It could not get it down
any further and it would not come out
and the numerous new stunts that cat
pulled off was a caution.
When the man of the house arrived
home he found the cat about ready ia
give up the ninth life and he yanked
the rind out, relieving the suffering
animal as well as giving it a good
"ereasing."

CHAPLIN FUNNY As HE TRIES TO
BE SERIOUS.

New York, February 22.-The Hip

500 people seated on the stage-thou-

night to see Charlie Chaplin in the
flesh. The receipts were more than
500, 200, half of which will go to the
Actors Fund. Without the funny lit
tie moustache and the crooked little
cane and the black baggy trousers.
wearing instead a dinner coat, Chap
lin walked on the stage; and although
as he said, he tried to be serious, y
he was as funny as ever, and brought
down the house whatever he did.
Tom Wise introduced him and forgot
his name, and had to hunt all over his
expansive waistcoat before he could
find it. Then the movie comedian came
out and put Sousas band through "Thc
Poet and Peasant overture in spirited
fashion, and followed it up with a COM
position of his own called THE Peace
Patrol" He was vociferously APP
plauded for nearly five minutes, with
every man in the band joining and
then he made a little speech.
Thank YOU" said Chaplin. "If |
could talk like Tom Wise, I'd give up
motion pictures at once, but l can't,
and I'm scared to death at this very
minute with stage fright"
That was all there was to il, yet
everybody was satisfied.

excellent condition, and if it could be
rolled with a very heavy roller it
would be in the best condition in re-

and sand in left aud deep center fields,
which will make it hard footing for

but even with this condition the close
proximity of the grounds to the bust

PAVING CONTRACT
AWARDED TO PERRY
Work on Flat Street to Be Begun as
Soon as Possible Telephone
Wires to Be Under Ground

The contract for paving Flat street
from Main street to the west end of
the building on the south side of the
street owned by w. X. Sparks was
signed yesterday between the select
men of the town and David T. Perry,
county road commissioner The select
men said this morning that at Mr.. Per-
rvs request they would not make pub
lie at present the contract price. but
that it was the lower of two bids re-
ceived, which were opened Saturday
evening.
The contract requires that the high
way shall be paved with granite blocks,
grouted with cement, and that the con
tractor shall provide for the surface
drainage and lay the cement sidewalks
street the sidewalk is to be six feet IN
width and on the north side FIVE feet
and five inches. One the north side the
walk will be extended to the property
of the Dewitt Grocery Co.
Mr.. Perry said this morning that he
should begin work as soon as the neces-
sarv materials could be gotten together
and so could secure the men, the latter
being a big problem at present.
The telephone company will dig a
trench and lay three eondnits under the
street, putting all their wires on that
street underground. and viii do that
work in advance Of the paving work.
Like the contractor, the telephone COM
pany finds it hard to secure men for
that class of work
