Tclegraphing from Copenhagen, the
correspondent of the Exchange Tclc-
graph company quotes the Frank
furtcr Zcitung, IL publication regarded
rs scmi-0fficial, as-sayin.:
"Gcrmany does not want n ccssa-
ton of fighting. but merely II confer
cncc at which all the bciliecrcnts shall
openly state thcr v"acc proposals.

Hague about january -. While the

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 17.-(Via Lon
don. 9:j5 p. m.)-Thc Frankfurter
Zetung in an article on the peace pro-
poAals, says:
Germany must try to prevent the
entente from giving an evasive
answer. We expect a wide cleavage
of view at the outset of the negOtia
tions. but great apparent Emergencies
of opinion will have less significance
when the oral explanations are Of
fered. The standpoints OF both parties
are already partly identical as regards
the general fundamental aims of the
war,-apd the German note must be
understood as meaning that part OF
the German proposals refer to the re-
esta blishment of international conven-
tions for the avoidances of interna-
tional conflicts and the guarantee Of
international peace"
About Disarmament.
Referring to the possibility of alle-
Waiting the burden of armaments the
Zeitung expresses the belief that an
agreement to this effect is possible
owing to the sufferings caused by
war. and adds:
"But Germany must not be asked to
precede the others in reducing her
forces Moreover, Germany does not
believe in abrogating general military
service. altho there are many objec-
tons against such. 1t would be abro-
gated if there were common organ
iZation of nations in which Germany
would have an important place.
Britain Must Step Down.
Discussing the naval question. the
paper explains that Germany's fleet
has been built only for defensive pur-
poses and continues:
"If German ship building is to be
restricted in the future, other naval
powers including the United states
must do likewise. Great l'ritain must
recognize the sea as "A free route for
all nations and must renounce doml-
nations and the British idea that
Great Britain has the sole right of
policing the seas. The regulation of
sea traffic might properly be under
intornationals organizations
The Zeitung concludes:
eff the peace offer is not accepted
and Germany is forced to fight until
her victory is complete then the peace
will be of quite different kind

SENTIMENT FOR HIM GROWS
PrOgressives May Force Him
To Be a Candidate.
Republicans Must "COme
Across" to Get Their Support.
BY WILLIS j. ABBOT.

Chicago, Ill, May 27.-Not one of
the men who will really control dele
cations in the Republican national
convention is here as yet, though n
good many of the lesser lights are
opening headquarters and giving out
optimistic estimates of the strength of
their various candidates.
Among these gentlemen the day was
one of distinct depression. They had
suddenly been awakened to realization
of the fact that the Progressive party
is not altogether in a mood of meek
and lowly acquiescence in whichever
action the Republican convention may
take.
Progressives who returned today
from the conference of their executive
committee in New York were in a
decidedly defiant mood. They im!I4e-
diately set about correcting the idea
that their party would endorse whom
soever the Republicans nominated
They dispelled with a rude gust of
denial the Republican theory that. if
given the platform they would accept
any proba bic nominee.
The Man Most Important.
THE candidate" said Harold L.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-05-27

Ickes. the Progressive national COM
mitteeman for this state. means more
for US than the platform we mean
to have a candidate who will stand Tor
performance. Mere promises alone
will not satisfy US.
I'VE have been frank enough in our
utterances heretofore. We nave al
ways insisted that our convention was
called to nominate a candidate ana
we will nominate one. He may be the
man whom the Republicans will norll-
mate, but he must be man to our
liking"
In the last three or four weeks the
Republicans have settled down TO
comforta BILE expectation that the FRO
gressives would accept anybody The
boomers of even such notorious reac-
tionaries as Weeks, Root or Burton
have had the audacity to advance this
theory and expect intelligent people TO
accept it.
RooscveIt's Attitude.
Weeks ago I stated, with high auth
ority, that Colonel Roosevelt did not
want to run on a Progressive ticket.
That is still the fact. But the FRO
gressives intend that the colonel shall
run unless a Republican of Progress
sive ideas shall be nominated. Hughes
does not meet that demand. He may
be as reactionary as Joe Cannon Tor
all that is known of him. Weeks, Bur
ton, Sherman, Fairbanks would all fall
of Progressive support, though the last
has some friends in that party owing
to his conciliatory attitude IN the 1872
convention. None of the dark horses,
SO far as l can judge, would meet the
occasion unles it might be Borah or
Mccall
Now whether the colonel wants to
run or not on the Progressive ticket,
the Progressives are very liable to
force him to run if they feel their
"a in -
paign. And if he does run the re-
suit in 1912 will be duplicated
Mulvanc Attacks T. r.
In the last few days the Roosevelt
sentiment has materially increased.
Dave" Mulvane, of Topeka, deluded
the newspapers into printing long
attack on the colonel, winding up with
the assertion that he would get no
delegates from the Sunflower state.
While the Kansas delegates are I'M
instructed moderate estimate would
give Roosevelt half the delegaAon.
No new headquarters have been
opened. Chairman Hilles arrived in
the city but at once mysteriously dis
appeared. Frank Hitchcock is mo-
gonism long existing between these
two men precludes the possibility OF
their both serving the same candidate.
Accordingly, though the Hilles activi-
ties have been underground and mys-
/ terious the apparent commitment OF
Hitchcock to Hughes makes it i'm
probable that the justice is to have the
support of the chairman of the Re
publican committee as we'll.
T. RS Nomination Necessary
H. S. Joseph. delegate from Utah
declared publicly that the nomination
of Roosevelt is necessary, not only to
carry that state for the national tick
ct, but to assure the reelection of
Governor Spry and Senator Suther-
land. He asserts that Senator Smoot
held the same opinion and l have
much confederation on the part OF
Smoot.
This action on the part of one of the
two Taft states in 1912 is perhaps off
set by the news that the other. Yer
mont, has instructed its delegates for
Hughes.

Life After All.

Man comes into this world without
his consent. and leaves it against his
will, says an exchange
During his stay on earth, his time
is spent in one continuous round of
contraries and Misunderstanding In
his infancy he is an angel; in his boy
hood, he is devil; in his manhood
he is everything from a lizard up; in
his duties he is fool; if he has no
family, he is committing race sui
eide; if he raises a check he is a
thief, and the law raises Cain with
him; if he is a poor man he is a
poor manager. and has no sense; if he
is rich, he is a dishonest, but consid-
cred smart; if he is in politics, he is
a CRATER and a crook; if he is out of
politics, you can't place him as he is
an undesirable citizen; if he goes to
church. he is hypocrite; if he stays
away from church, he is sinner; if
he donates to foreign missions, he
does it for show; if he doesn't he is
stingy and "tight-wad."
When he first comes into the world,
everybody wants to kiss him-befOre

A Stay-at-Home Dollar.

An interesting experimnt was re-
Gently tried at Columbus, Ind. A
trade at home" dollar was put into
circulation September l by Archie
Il. Spurgin, president of the Retail
Merchants association. The dollar
was spent SO times and Spurgin esti-
mates that it earned more than $40
besides teaching the moral that it is
best to trade at home. The dollar
was placed in circulation to give PEG
pie an flea Of how much good dol
lar will do if spent at home.
A dollar bill was pasted inside a
bank book and instructions were writ
Ten on the fly leaf for the possessor
of the bill to make an entry each
time the money was spent, telling
with whom it was spent and for what.
Spurgin spent it first and after that
il wont to fifty-two different persons.
It bought all sorts of things, was used
in paying accounts, was applied on
salaries. helped to make change and
did every other thing a dollar ever
has been known to do.

Saving Lives.

Official figures show decline in
the death rate from 1876 per 1000 to
las per 1000. comparing the. yeai
1915 with 1914. The reduction may
seem small but it represents q say
ing OF 10000 lives in single year
The percentage of deaths is far low
er than the average for the fiye-year
period from 1900 to 1905, which was
1872 peh1 900.
Credit for this remarkable advance
of civilization is divided between the
medical profession in the cities and
state and national health authorities.
The more populated cities hav',
made the greatest reduction in the
death rate This bears out the state
ment that q baby has a better chance
for life in the average American cite
tfday than it has in the country. The
old notion that the country Is the
place Of Astounding health, where bah,
les have only to be born to wax
strong and grow without trouble. has
been exploded by the facts Tho
country is healthy enough when in
sanitary living 'cga "a, o@.t
has been the neglected area in public
health movements. The city occupies
limited space and may exercise a
fairly thorough supervision over sani-
tary conditions, but the rural district
is a vastly bigger and harder porblem
for governmental activity. f. the cGun,
ty department Of health had adequate
machinery, it could do as much for
the country as the municipal health
department does for the municipality.
The exalted standard of service
guiding the medical profession is in
high measure responsible for the
great increase in life saving. Tho
doctors feel keenly a sense of social
obligation. They are as much con
cerned about prevention as they are
about cure. Moreover they are more
and more exercising their incluence
for more effective public health actiYi'
ty on the part of the municipality and
state. Thy are securing the enact
mont of laws which tend to promote
thc general physical welfare. This is
comparatively It new order of things,
but it BODIES well for the common
good
