G. w. Perkins, Chairman of National
Executive Committee, Says candi-
date Need Not Be Roosevelt
Colonel Sends Message.

Chicago, Jan, 12.-As political
entity the Progressive party will have
no existence in the national campaign
OF 1916 V the Republicans grasp the
olive branch which was preferred to
them by George w. Perkins and other
Bull Moose leaders in the meeting Of
the Progressive national committee in
Chicago.
That the Progressives in their peace
advances are willing to forego pres
ifential nomination for Theodore
Roosevelt, If amalgamation and har-
mony can be brought about thereby.
was revealed in the following state
ment by Mr.. Perkins, made at the end
of the committees session:
I'VE are all hopeful that both par
ties will agree upon somebody, and it
need not necessarily be Mr.. Roose-
welt"
Roosevelt for Peace.
This remark was made after Colonel
Roosevelt had sent a message to the
Moosers in which he asked them to
subordinate party to country and to
join with other forces in waging a
conflict to GUST the Democrats from
control at the national capital.
There is crying need said the
colonel, that we shall cast aside all
purely partisan considerations and dis
regard all but the vital issues affect
ing the national life, and shall strive
. intellectually for a sound American
ism, which shall insist that every man
within our borders shall be an Ameri'
can and nothing else"
Convention Here June 7.
Immediately after the message had
/ been read the committee decided upon
Chicago as the place and June as
the time Tor holdinga national conyen
tion. This is the date which the Re
publican national committee has Sc
lected for it's 1916 convention in Chi
cago.
Mr.. Perkins enlarged upon his
earlier statement by issuing another
one in which he defined what he re
CARDS as the issues in the coming
campaign and the relation which the
Progressive following holds to them,
He reiterated the party declarations
of 1912 and then proclaimed the
proposition of national military ant
naval preparedness as the prime issue
of the campaign this year.
AmaIsamation Is Fought.
Because of the failure of the vii
son administration to deal adeQuatel!
with national honor and industrial
welfare this country faces problem
of graver and more far-reachin'
consequence than any since the Civil
war" he said.
1T has stood by while the law o
nations disappeared from the earth
! without adequate protest or effectiv
resistance"
He added that "the 100000 Pre-
gressive voters will follow only
leader whom we know stands for ar
tional honor and integrity and is abb
to put them through"

 "T have heard that statement made. " Said Dr. Addison. and it Is prepos, terous, of course.

TWO MILLION WORKERS
 FURNISH THE MUNITIONS

LONDON, Aug. 2l. - Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) When the British forces in France began their offensive bombardment on June 27, and for days hurled into the Ger man lines such an avalanche of steel and lead as the world had never known before, even the people of Eng land expressed wonder that it should have been possible to assemble so vast a store of munitions. The story of how these supplies were created constitutes one of the most important chapters in the history of British achievement during the war
 At the outbreak of hostilities two years ago there were only three i'm portant government munitions factor ies in the British Isles Today some four thousand government controlled firms, employing more than 2,000,000 workers. are turning out virtually all of the tremendous amount of war ma lerials which have gone to equip the five million British soldiers in the field
 The organization of this great indus try has been accomplished in a little more than one year by the ministry Of munitions. which vas established in May, 1915, under the leadership of David Lloyd George. In that time every available resource of the coun. try has been built for the production of munitions. Some idea of the scale upon which this organization has been carried out may be gained from the statement that the largest of the new plants covers an area nine miles long
