MAYOR OPTIMISTIC, HURLs HOT
LANGUAGE

-LANGUAGE
Optimistic on the eve of the alder
manic primary Mayor Thompson to-
day stated that 80 per cent of his
candidates would be elected.
81 patiently accepted the insults
until felt that patience had ceased
to be a virtue" the mayor stated. 81
felt that if was to accomplish any
thing l would have to go out and tell
the people my side of the rumpus per-
sonally. think that this election will
be REPETITION of the mayoralty cleo
ton of last year and that the people
have not been duped by the false re-
ports which have been circulated
against this administration.
"As for my constructive measures,
l will introduce them when l am sure
that l have a council back of me who
will cooperate and not seek to de-
stroy. The aldermen who are oppos-
ing me are controlled BY the Repub-
Iican bosses who fought against me
in the last primaries"
The mayor gave out a 1,500-word
statement this morning attacking the
Municipal Voters league. He calls
their letter, printed this morning, a
foul communication" and abusive
and defamatory report" and one of :
the most classifying campaign docu-
ments" he has ever seen. 1t is also
fabrication of mendacity, falsehood
and libel" according to his letter.
There is too much divided author
ity and l want, and I'll get, council
that will cooperate" Thompson con-
cluded. my first constructive mea-
sure, which will be introduced when
the personnel of the council is chang
ed, will be transformation of the lake
front into the greatest playground in
the world"
None of the present opponents of
the mayor have ever been heard to
condemn this proposition.

tanning reiteration of Germany's in

Court Won Bernstorff was with the
secretary less than ten minutes. After
he left Sec'y Lansing said:
'The German ambassador left with
me memorandum from his govern
ment. That is all l say say"
Bernstorff was equally non-com-
municative, but later it was learned
the memorandum contains reports of
German submarine commanders de-
failing a score of cases in which arm
ed British merchantmen are alleged
to have used their armament often
sively against undersea boats that at
tempted to stop them.
Washington, Feb. 28.-England's
alleged orders to merchantmen COM
manders seemed today to offer last
hope for satisfactory adjustment of
deadlock between U. S. and Germany
over submarine warfare.
Germany has admitted for first
time that new decree to sink mer-

SEEK MORE light ON
PRINT PAPER famine
Federal Trade Commission Delays Ac-
ton Pending Complete Reports.

The Federal Trade Commission has an
nounced that 1t cannot proceed with its
plans for the distribution of the available
supply OF news print paper in the United
States equitably among newspapers so as
to prevent suspension of some unless II
can get more information on existing con-
ditions.
The commission arranged for kilograms
to be sent through the publishers, manu-
facturers and tobbers' associations and
as many publishers as can be reached
asking for facts and figures. The com
mission wants to know from all publish
ers the amount of paper on hand, the
amount received in 1915 and 1916, the min
imum quantity required for 1917, also the
amount contracted for In 1917.
The Commission conferred all day with
representatives of the publishers. manu-
facturers and jobbers. As soon as infor-
nation is received another conference
will be called.
The committees of the News Print
Manufacturers Association, the American
Publishers Association, publishers asso-
Citations and the Jobbers' association, met
with the Trade Commission.
The commission finds that many pub
fishers, particularly smaller publishers.
are not affiliated with any association and
therefore will not be directly reached
through kilograms by the publishers
committees.
Such publishers are requested by tho
commission to send information concern
ing their present situation at once direct
to the ONCE of the commission in Wash

to keep Maj. Gen. Pershing in Mexico
for many months.
Officials of the War Department said
that II Pershing's force was withdrawn

to protect the border against bandit
raids. Therefore. the continuance Of such
a large force of Guardsmen In the serv-
ice means that Pershing will be kept
where he has been for the last several
months until the Mexican situation i'm
