Arizona republican., 1916-01-15

An esteemed republican exchange rather h. necessarily informs the progressves that they will not be permitted to nominate the ticket at the publican national convention Perhaps if temporary had waited until last Tuesday night be- fore unloading this information it might have been withheld. The progressive executive committee has plainly told the republicans that the progressive party proposes to have nothing to do with the nomination of the republican ticket, except pass judgment upon it after it has been nominated. It has also informed the republicans that if the ticket they nominate and the platform they make not satisfactory to the progressives. the republicans have the pleasure of electing well nominating the ticket alone. The republicans doubtless recall their experience of four years ago in electing national ticket without progressive cooperation.

PREPARED FOR
 NAVAL BATTLE England Believes that Sea Rattle will Come Without Warning and
 May Happen Any Time.

LONDON, March 9.-The excite ment occasioned by the report from Amsterdam that the German fleet had left the Keil canal and entered the North Sea in search of the British fleet continues unabated despite the assurances of the First Lord of the Admiralty.
 That the battle for supremacy ot the seas will come without warning and may take place at any time is admitted by the British admiralty of- flcials who state that. all preparations have been taken to protect the coast towns from bombardment.
 It is believed here that the deter imitation of the German admiralty Co try conclusions with the British navy is the result of the recent announce ment of the British government that the blockade against the coast of Germany would be frightened.
 The naval officers discredit the Amsterdam report that the German fleet is in the North Sea but admit that such might be the case as Brit ish vessels are unable to approach the German coast owing to the waters being mined in the vicinity of Heli- goland.
