TWO BID FOR SUPPORT
Democrats of Kansas Are Offered a
Choice of Organs.

Two brand new Democratic papers
are asking for recognitions among the
Democrats of Kansas. The Kansas
State Democrat, published at Hutchin-
son, was introduced to the public last
night, and the Democratic News, pub
lished in Topeka, left the press for the
first time Monday. Their respective
supporters will thresh the matter of
recognition out with Kansas Demo-
Gratis at today's gathering.
The Hutchinson paper is put out by
the Midwest Publishing company of
Hutchinson and Harry P. Leavitt of
the Hutchinson Gazette is engineering
its fight among the Democrats.
The Topeka paper which came out
unannounced is rour-page paper
company, printed by the Kelly Print
ing company The work was done by
members of the Shawnee Democratic
club. Harry c. Green. A. d. Birch
and H. ]. Ccrwine looked after the

hands of c. ]. Peterson, J. z. Barrett

WILL NOT Give IN
Sentiment in Germany Urges
Submarine Warfare.
Attacks on Armed Merchant
men Not To Be Postponed.
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.

Berlin, Feb. 22.-No where in Ber-
lin is there evidence of the slightest
desire to withhold Germany's new
submarine warfare because of protest
from the United States.
The general feeling is that Ameri-
cans must suffer the consequences, if
they embark on belligerent merchant
men carrying arms after March 1. The
evident attitude toward America dis
played during the Lusitania negotia-
tions, it is plain today, no longer exists
because of the popular feeling that
America already has hindered so many
of Germany's plans.
Little Optimism There.
The Berlin newspapers have carried
no discussion for two days on the re-
port of the American attitude toward
Germany's new campaign against arm
ed merchantmen. 1t is generally
auguration of the new warfare only
seven days distant, the difficulties be-
tween the two countries have not been
solved. In some quarters it is believed
a satisfactory settlement will be reach
ed; in others the greatest pessimism
prevails
The public is impatiently awaiting
the beginning of attacks on armed
merchantmen, the anti-English feel
ing apparently having been intensified
by the German-American dispute.
Urge No Compromise.
Secretary Lansings statement to
published in its entirety. Those who
have read it, however, profess to be
greatly surprised in view of unofficial
reports that America is willing to
warn Americans to stay off armed
merchant ships.

In it he urges an immediate and

ment and all preparatory and high
schools should institute at once a mill

struction in the mechanism and use of

ties of the soldier in the field. He
also advocates summer camps for high

Turkey Ambassador Arrives on
6O-Day Vacation.

New York. Feb. 22.-Henry Nor
genthau, United States ambassador to
Turkey, returned from Constantinople
today aboard the Scandinavian Amer
lean liner Frederick VIII for a so
days vacation, during which time he
plans to get in touch with American
affairs.
Immediately upon his arrival he put
down a heavy foot on rumors con-
Meeting his name with the cabinet va
cancy caused by the resignation of
Secretary Garrison. There is no truth
in these rumors," he said, adding that
his work was "cut out along other
lines" and that he expects to return
to his post at the end of his vacation.
A reception committee appointed by
Mayor Mitchell and headed by Cleve-
land II. Dodge, went down the bay to
meet the ambassador off quarantine.
In the cutter was Mrs. Morgenthau.
who returned to America five months
ago and the ambassadors three
daughters. A son has spent several
weeks in Constantinople and returned
with his father.
Might Talk Too Much.
Morgentaau displayed the same
discretion of speech with newspaper
men that was evidenced when Brand
Whitlock returned from Belgium.
There is much that 1 might say
said Morgenthau. Secretary Lansing
is fearful that 1 might talk too much.
L had a letter handed to me at the
pier telling me to be very guarded in
my remarks" This letter is also be-
| lieved to have advised Morgenthau of
the latest developments of the contro-
versy between the United States and
the allies.
The ambassador said he would leave
| for Washington Immediately and
would be unable to say much until he
had visited the state department
