Progressives Wish to Dictate

(ey Review Leased wire.)

NEW YORK, May 1O.-The Progress
 sive party will not insist upon the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for
 President if the Republicans will name candidate at Chicago "who
 sands for progressive principles and
 is able to put them through" accord ! ing 10 a statement made here tonight , by Geo. w. Perkins. after a meeting 1 of the executive committee or the Progressive National Committee.
 We of course are for Colonel 1 Roosevelt" Mir. Perkins asserted,
 "and shall suggest his name to the Republicans. If they reply that they will not agree on the Colonel, we shall ask them to name their man. whd ought to be as nearly unanimous a
 choice as our man is. We are will ing to be reasonable for the sake of harmony"
 Mir. Perkins statement supplement- ed one issued by the executive com mittee in which it was said:
 If the Republican convention is re- ; sponsive to the patriotic spirit that brought the Republican party into be, ing and made it dominant for half a century it will meet this crisis in a spirit of broad patriotism that rises
 above partisanship. Should the effort i fail. the responsibility for the result will not rest on the Progressive con vention. but will rest on other shoul- ders than ours.
 "In this turning point in world his . tory. We will not stick on details. We will lay aside partisanship and preju- 1 dices. but we will never surrender the principles for which we stand and [ have stood, and will follow only a leader who we know stands for them
 and is able to put them through. We are for peace but not for peace at any price,"
 Reports from the progressive or

WASHINGTON. May 1O-F Further developments in the Mexican situation still awaited tonight a definite out come of the F lPasO conference be- tween Generals Scott. Funston and Ob- regon Officials of both the War De- partment and State Department ap- peared continent that an agreement satisfactory to both sides would be negotiated although they hesitated to predict how much more time might be required.
 Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican ambas- sador-designate, called on Counsellor Polk at the state department late in the day. Both he and Mir. Polk said the visit had no significance and was merely a general discussion of the situation. Mir Arredondo had no ad- vices from his government to present and Mir Polk could give hi mno news as to the conference at Fl Paso.
 Secretary Baker received report from General Scott on the long dis cussion with General Obregon last night. It stated that while the Mexi- can war minister had talked over a suggestion for cooperative border pa trol, the proposition was not present ed formally as a substitute for the protocol worked out previously. Gen. eral Scott did not transmit details of the new discussion but indicated that he expected General Obregon to sub init his new plan later.

United States Was Right Note Says, and Germany Will Pay Indemnitiss for Ameri- can Loss of Life.
AMERICAN INFORMA-
 TON IS CONVINCING
Won Jagow Acknowledges
 Responsibility for Warning Passenger Ships, But Neg lects to Settle Freight Issue.
(sy Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON. May 10.-Germany in a note received by the state depart ment today by cable from Ambassador Gerard. admits that a German sutma- rine torpedoed the channel steamer Sussex. in violation of assurances giv- en the United States, expresses re- gret for the incident and announces that the submarine commander has been appropriately punished" and de- clares readiness to pay indemnity to Americans injured on the vessel
 It was indicated at the State depart ment that the German statement that the offending commander had been punished would be accepted and the Sussex case considered closed except for arranging for the payment of in demnity of several citizens of the United States who were hurt There probably will be no attempt to nego- tiate for these indemnities or for f. nal settlement of the Lusitania and other cases now pending. however, until sufficient time has elapsed to in- dicate how the last American note was received in Berlin and whether the new submarine policy is being liv- ed up to.
 Results of an investigation based on facts supplied hy the American gov ernment, the German communication says have shown that the contention originally set up that the explosion of the Sussex was to be traced to cause other than a German submarine at tack, cannot be maintained. While as serting that the submarine commander thought he was dealing with an enemy warship, foreign minister von Jagow admits that he formed his judgment too hurriedly and therefore did not act fully in accordance with the instruc- tions which called upon him to eXer- else particular care
 Officials of the state department mo- ted particularly the passage of the note which said 'in view of these cir cumstances the German government frankly admits that the assurances given the American government in accordance with passenger vessels were not to be attacked without warn ing. has not been adhered to in the preesnt case"
 This was regarded as indicating a purpose on Germany's part to decline to pay indemnities for Americans kill ed or injured in attacks on ships other than passenger liners prior to the date of the last American note in which the
 German government promiser that freight as well as passenger vessels would not be attacked without warn ing or without provision for the safe ty of persons aboard. Any response to the note received today probably will make a distinct reservation of Ameri- can rights on this point

 The course of General Obregon at Fl Paso has been puzzling Admins tration officials have had reason to be lieve that General Carranza has given his assent to the agreement as origi- nally framed except in minor details. The plan was suggested in part, at least by General Obregon himself when the conferees first met: yet Oh regon has refused thus far to ex- change notifications with General Scott.
 In some quarters it was thought the Mexican war minister might be seek ing some political benefit from the tactics adopted. There is no official information tending 10 support this view. although intimstions Of friction between CarranZs and his war minis ter have been published frequently.

AMERICAN NOTE PLEASEs.

BERLIN. May 10-The Amer ican reply to the German note was delivered by Ambassador Gerard to the foreign office at one o'clock this afternoon.
 With the presentation of the note the German submarine controversy is regarded here as settled. Germany holds that its orders to submarine con- manders were issued without strings or conditions.
 Both the Lokal AnZeiger and the Zeitung am Mittag regard the note as acceptable to Ger many. The Zeitung am Mittag commenting on the American answer under the caption Wilson's final word," says that the German-American crisis with it's danger of rup- ture is now a thing of the past. The paper is not alto gether pleased with the man. ner of expression but says that is of minor importance.
 "The main thing" it adds. .'is that the good relations of two countries continue to the disappointment of all Ger many's enemies. who will doubtless try to interpret the answer as limiting that a rup- ture is postponed only tempo rarily.

HUGRTA ARRIVES.

DOUGLAS, AriZ.. May lO.- Adolfo de Ia Huerta, recently appointed by VenustianO Car ranZa, defacto president of Mexico. to be the civil gover- nor of Sonora. arrived in Agua Prieta late today by automo-, bile to confer with General P Elias Gales, military governor of Sonora.
 Until Gales officially surren- ders the office of governor. de la Huerta is without official standing. At the headquarters of the Sonora governor this af- ternoon it was said that Gen. Gales would be too busy for several days with the details of his military duties to attend to this.
 The governor-elect of Sonora was not greeted with particular cordiality in Agua Prieta. it is reported in Mexican official circles. This was due to the fact that five of his personal friends from Mexico City came with him. It is rumored that these men. who are not natives of Sonora. are slated for high salaried appointments as soon as Huerta takes office.

The Revaluation of Human Life
By Frederic J. Haskin

are known to act upon their own best
Judgment, but few OF them would de-
sire a legal obligation to do so. An
ofhcer of the American Medical Asso-
citation probably voiced the feeling of
most of his colleagues recently when
ne explained his own attitude toward
the matter:
You may favor capital punish
ment,' he said, and believe that a
certain man ought to be hung, but
you would not like to let the drop fall
or even witness the hanging
To take human life under any cir
cumstances is a tremendous RESPONSE
plltty and undoubtedly the greatest
difficulty in the revaluation of life is
to find men both willing and fit to ac-
cept such a responsibility.
There are cases in which physicians
have provided a friend with the means
OF ending life of suffering and have
afterward been compelled by remorse
to conflde the fact in some one. Even
though a life is apparently useless.
there are few men Of genuine hu-
manity who are willing to sit in judg-
ment upon it. The rule in this matter
to which all physicians are supposed
TO subscribe is the Hippocratic oath.
IL has been the guiding rule of the
profession for over two thousand
years. and it binds the physician to
prolong life and to reduce suffering by
every possible means. No doubt there
are many conservative physicians who
interpret this rule literally. But there
are times when prolonged life means
suffering, and suffering can be miti-
gated only by death Then the Hip
pocratic Law becomes a dilemma
rather than rule.
one reason why human life demands
"a revaluation is because the means OF
prolonging 1T have been so highly de-
Neloped. Consider the question of in
dustrIal accidents, for example. In
Jured men who would have died upon
the spot few decades ago. are now
deXterously patched up and enabled
TO lead a manned and crippled exist
ence. There can be no doubt but
what death would often be preferable
to these men who work with their
hands and to whom physical strength
is everything.
But death is Invariably fought by
every expedient i'm these cases. The
physician is usually employed by the
company and his first duty is to re-
duce the number of fatalities occur
ring in its plant. BY saving his pa
tient, the physician may also save his
| employer several thousand dollars
which o workman's compensation act
would compel him to pay in the form
of death benefit to the family. If
the man lives the family not only fails
to get the death benefit. but it has to
support the cripple. This is one of
the situations where life may seem a
lpositive injustice.

TAFT AS JUDGE

nR RESIDENT WILSON could do no
more popular thing than to ap-
point William Howard Taft to
the Supreme Court bench, but it is
a question whether the elevation of
the former President to the highest
tribunal in the world would be for
the best interests of all the people,
ideal judge though Mr.. Taft undoubt-
edly would be.
No man is held in higher respect in
the land to-day than is William How
ard Taft, nobody is better qualified
to express an opinion on matters re-
lating to public affairs and no man
is more unselhshly devoted to the good
the seclusion of the Supreme bench
his voice would he silent on subjects
concerning which his observations and
opinions would be OF vital importance.
Supreme Court judges are rightfully
or wrongfully hedged about by silence
on most matters occupying public at
tention, although just why this should
be so it is difficult to understand, for
they must hold their own views just
as strongly as though they gave them
TO the people through the press and
Mr.. Taft would doubtless be no ex-
ception. 1t is all question of which
needs him most, the Supreme Court
bench or the forum of public opinion.

TNHE death in Chicago of a baby
that might have been saved and

TIME death in Chicago of a baby
that might have been saved and
several similar cases have
brought wildly before the American
people the question of whether life
is always worth saving either to the in
dividual or to society. There has been
much contention and criticism, but
through it all has run a surprisingly
strong opinion that life is not invari-
ably sacred.
Once human life was valued much
less than now. There was capital pun
ishment for trifles. Death was looked
upon with great deal more equan-
unity, possibly because it was then so
much harder to avert.
Modern physicians set q high value
upon homan life and provided the means
Of prolonging II. Now a good many
thinking men and women are asking
whether there is any justification for
prolonging a life that can give no
pleasure to its possessor, and is abso-
lutely useless. If not dangerous, TO the
rest of society.
The viewpoint OF the individual who
feels that he is no longer fit to live
was brought out strongly by a recent
case in this country. a woman Of per-
feet sanity and excellent intelligence
applied to the court for a permit to
end ner own lie. Physicians mad tolu
her that she had no hope of recovery.
but might suffer for months or even
years. She was poor and would be-
come a public charge. Under these
circumstances, she asked for a ruling
which would permit her to end her
life without committing a crime and
placing a stigma upon her children.
The Judge was, of course, as power
less TO help her as had been the ply
sicians.
A bill that would apply to such cases
was introduced not long ago in the
Indiana State Legislature. 1t provided
that when accident or disease had con-
demned an individual to a life Of con-
tinual suffering, he might be given
the means of terminating his own
life upon his own request and by the
agreement of seven reputable physi-
clans. This bill was drafted by lay
men without medical assistance. Ply
sicians would probably have protested
vigorously, as the responsibility was to
be placed upon them. Despite consid-
cradle interest in its provisions, the
bill was lost in committee.
Several other State measures OF the
same sort have been drafted; but none
of them has ever been enacted into
law. 1t is probably safe to say that
most physicians would vigorously OPP
pose any law upon this subject. Every
one of them encounters cases where
prolonged life will mean nothing but
suffering, and where the power to
prolong or terminate this misery is
in his hands. In such cases physicians
