BETHMANN OPENS DIET
CHANCELLOR DECLARES PRUS
SIAN SPIRIT is lNvINcIBLE.
Says Nation Is Marching to Sure Vic
tory-Country Can't Be Starved
Gut by Enera!es.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-''Together with our
king and emperor we march toward
the turning of the road sure to vic
tory" declared Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg in his address opening
the 1915 session of the Prussian diet.
Speaking in his official capacity as
prime minister of Prussia, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg declared that
the Prussian spirit is invincible, and
that Germany is showing the world
that she cannot be starved out.
"As our enemies forced this war
upon us they must also bear the guilt
and responsibility as the nations fight
to infiict wounds upon each other, .
said DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
Our enemies planned to demoralize
Germany by cutting her off from the
transatlantic world, but this plan has
failed. Our agricultural resources as
sure the nation of sustenance. We
are relying upon the strength Of >ur
industries-we are relying upon what
we can produce ourselves with which
to defend ourselves"
At the conclusion of his speech the
prime minister announced that a bill
would be introduced increasing the in.
come tax. Railroad building in Prus
sia will continue, the speaker said
despite the war.

OFFER TO RETURN TO G. 0. P.
Progressive National Committee Ready
to Eliminate Roosevelt as Candi-
date-Meet in Chicago June 2.

Chicago, Jan 13.-As a political
entity the Progressive party will have
no existence in the national campaign
of 1915 if the Republicans grasp the
olive branch which was proffered to
them by George w. Perkins and other
Bull Moose leaders in the meeting of
the Progressive national committee in
Chicago held on Tuesday.
That the Progressives in their peace
advances are willing to forego a pres
idential 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 botk par
ties will agree upon somebody, and it
need not necessarily be Mr.. Roose-
velt."
This remark was made after Colonel
Roosevelt had sent message to the
Moosers in which he asked them to
subordinate party to country.
| Immediately after the message had
been read the committee decided upon
Chicago as the place and June as
the time for holding national conven
tion.
Mr.. Perkins defined what he regards
as the issues in the coming cam
paign and the relation which the Pro
gressive following holds to them.
He reiterated the party declarations
of 1912 and then proclaimed the
proposition of national military and
naval preparedness as the prime issue
of the campaign this year.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus, O.-How each type of
road material may find it's best use
will be one of the problems that will
be studied at the annual meeting of
the Interstate Stone Manufacturers
association, which meets next week
The stone men propose to take the
lead in helping communities and dis
tricts find the material and character
OF road best suited to their needs and
to traffic conditions, whether the sup
plies used are made by them or by
others Now that the state highway
department has begun the preparation
and repair of the different types of
roads, the stone men will urge the
counties and cities to follow the ex-
ample SO that it will be possible to Sc
cure real information upon mooted
questions. The stone men insist that
the problems of maintenance and re-
pair have not been worked out in any
adequate manner and that the theory
that one type Of road more than an.
other may be neglected has been dis
proved by the sad experience of many
communities. One of the plans to
which the stone men are looking is

Democracy in a Rut.

The Democratic party has before it
the choice of revising the tariff and
thus raising revenue: of issuing bonds
sufficient to return to the treasury the
cost Of the Panama canal and the cost
nf permanent national defenses and OF
imposing new, exasperating, burden
some taxes upon thrift and industry
The Democratic leaders have al
ready shown that they do not have the
moral courage to make right-about-
face. on the tariff. They cling to the
assertion that the present tariff is not
a failure as revenue producer and is
not injurious to American industry.
These leaders are equally lacking in
courage when it comes to a bond is
sue. They do not even favor the re-
turn to the treasury of the Panama
canal money which was taken out by
the Republicans. They do not agree
that the nations credit is the proper
source from which to draw the ex-
pense for the national defense.
