ranean last month.
Washington, Jan. 26.-Secretary
Lansing had before him today anoth-
er written proposal from Germany
designed to bring about settlement
of the controversy to the sinking of
the liner Lusitania. 1t was submitted
through Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
Although secrecy surrounds the
negotiations, it was indicated today
that the proposal might result in a
satisfactory ending to the long stand
ing negotiations on the subject.
Is Last Proposal.
1t is understood that in the latest
proposal Germany has agreed to
eliminate from the text of the agree
ment any mention of the warning is
sued by the Germany embassy when
the Lusitania sailed and left out her
general reservation of admission Of
wrong doing on the part of her sub
marine commander. These two points,
it is understood, were contained in
previous proposals and were siren
uously objected toby President Will
son.
1t was also said that the Berlin
government makes some reference to
a desire to see this country take &C
ton in regard to questions involv-
ing the freedom of the seas. Germany,
it is said, reiterates that the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania was an act
of reprisal for the British blockade of
the German coast. Regret is express
ed for the loss of American lives and
indemnity is offered.
Attention is called to the fact that
such forms Of reprisal have been dis
continued as the result of negotia-
tons with the United States.
Secretary Lansing's only comment
today on the published description of
Germany's latest proposal was that
it was speculation not justified by
the facts"
Mr.. Lansing, it was said, will have
separate conference with President
Wilson on the latest turn in the ne
gotiations.

.ELKS TO HAVE CHRISTMAS
CELEBRATION FOR MEM
BERS AND THEIR FAMILIES

Al the regular meeting OF the mem
bers OF Canon City Lodge No. $40.
u. p. o. r. Wednesday night II was
decided TO make a slight change in
the program OF their Christmas cele-
bration this year. The usual Christ
mas tree. with Santa Claus to dlstrib-
ute the gifts. will be staged at their
club building at O'Clock Christmas
afternoon. but the gathering will be
restricted to the members of the Elks
lodge and members OF their families.
instead OF being open to the public
as heretofore. One OF the reasons
prompting the change is to prevent
crowding at the club building during
the festivities. In the past the throng
has been such as TO result in inconve-
nience to all. and. TO some extent. de-
tract from the pleasure OF the occa-
sion. With the assemblage limited TO
the Elks and the members of their
families IL is believed there will be
no congestion or inconvenience.
The holiday bounty of the Elks.
however, will not lie confined 10
themselves and families by any
means. They are planning on send.
ing out between one hundred and
two hundred baskets containing
Christmas dinner to the unfortu-
mates of the community and candies
nuts and other Christmas goodies
will be inclosed In them for the kid
dies. The Elks celebration is the big.
gest Christmas event given here and
this year will be no exception to the
rule. The members of the lodge ap,
preciate the blessedness of giving TO
make others happy and take great
interest in the preliminary work nee
essary to carry sunshine and good
cheer into homes where there is gloom
and dependency.
The committee having charge OF
the Elks Christmas observance this
year is composed OF Chas. II. Duncan
Gustav Stromberger. J. J. Lewis, w
d. Holland and Harry Campbell.

and for a little while things were
pretty noisy.
After this. Mr.. Cook gave US one
of the best talks of the year. 1t is
sometimes hard TO hold an audience
of young folks. but this was not so
when Mr.. Cook talked. He had some
thing to say and knew how to say it.

assembly period was called for the
purpose of getting little interest
stirred up for the basket ball game

yells were done" and everyone
loosened up. and il Florence High

Is History Repeating Itself

Is History Repeating Itself
Thomas Jefferson in his letter to
Governor Lansdon. of New Hamp-
shire said The Torryism with
which we struggled in TIT diff
fered but in name from the Fede-
ralism of 1899, with which we
struggled also, and the Angelic
ism of 1903, against which we are
now struggling, is but the same
thing still in another form. 1t is
longing for king, and an En-
glish king rather than any other.
This is true source of our sorrows
and wailings.
