The plan of the leaders at this con-
ference is to form the nucleus of the
southeastern division of the party and
for it to take active interest in the
1920 compaign. Many of those attend
ing this meeting and others to take
place soon in other sections are ex-
pected to be present at the national
gathering in ST. Louis in April.
Mr.. Parker stated that the progress
sives should indorse national prohibit
ton and continue efforts in behalf of
principles adopted in 1912
"a party to endure must be larger
than any man or set of men," he said,
Its principles must be worth fighting
for; its policy controlled by all it's
members, and it's financial support by
the hard-earned dollars of the many,
not the financial power of few men,
Mr.. Parker stated that it was little
difference whether the proposed name
of liberal party was adopted at the
st. Louis gathering, as the principles
of the party would remain the some.

sistently emphasized the Importance of

progressive platform was exactly what
it meant. and not a plank to get into

HUGE LOSS IS CITED

LONDON, February 15.-The British
public has INDUCED the idea that the
meeting of parliament would show light
on the problem of how the navy is deal
ing with Germanys intensified subma-
rine warfare. The press and many pub
lie men have been constantly urging
the government to drop the veil OF
secrecy, on the ground that the losses
were well known to the Germans and
that therefore there would be no harm
in allowing the British public to know
while the knowledge would tend to en-
courage the people to bear patiently
the necessary sacrifice.
Gossip. which experience in war has
shown in numberless cases to be thor
oushiy unreliable, has played with the
notion that many German submarines
are being destroyed or have been
brought with their crews to British
ports.
Routes Are Kept Free.
Admiral Lord Beresford raised the
question in the house OF lords Tuesday.
He appealed to the government for
more open treatment OF the public,
thereby voicing the urgent demand for
Information. The Earl of Lytton.
civil lord of the admiralty. and the
Earl of Curzon, lord president of the
council. replied to the effect that GER
tain routes for neutral commerce were
being kept free and that the situation
was less aggravated than might De
supposed. They declined, however, to
divulge whether the improved condition
was due to a better means for shlps
escaping the attentions of submarines
or To the actual destruction of Subma
rines. though on the latter point Lord
Lytten described Admiral Sir John Jei-
licoe. first sea lord, as being mot dis
satisfied"
