Last Game of
Series Liable
To Tie Score

Camp Lewis will see it's final
game of the inter-regimental ofot-
ball series tomorrow afternoon
when the 362nd infantry meets
the 316th sanitary train. The
362nd has not been defeated all
season, and the medicos have suf-
fered only one defeat. So a vic
tory for the sanitary train tomor-
row would give the teams a tie
average. In such event, it is
probable that a post-season game
would be played to determine the
camp title.

new POLITICAL
PARTY FORMED

CHICAGO, Oct 3-The organization
of a new national political party is the
announced purpose of a conference
here today of a number of Prohibition
lists, Progressives, Social Democrats,
and Single Tax adherents.
The party is yet unnamed but it pro-
poses to elect half a dozen United
States senators and between twenty
and forty members of the house of
representatives in 1915" according to
an announcement of the leaders. In
1920, the prospectus of the party says,
a march upon Washington will be
made to take possession of the gov
ernment."
A tentative draft Of the platform
which is to be submitted to the con-
ferees, said to have been written for
the most part by John Spargo, former
ly socialist, approves universal suf-
frage, the initiative and referendum,
the recall, the short ballot, the execu-
tive budget and proportionate repre-
sentation National prohibition is de
manded and the declaration made that
all traffic in liquor must be outlawed.
Extinction of land monopoly, public
ownership of coal mines, oil wells,
telegraph and telephone systems and
other public utilities and the use of
union labor in all governmental ac-
tivities are among the demands made
in the Spargo draft.

DENIES that
BERLIN MADE
PEACE OFFERS

AMSTERDAM, Oct. Germany
has made no proposals whatever for
separate peace either to France or
to Great Britain. DR.. Won Kuehlmann,
the German foreign secretary, makes
this announcement, according to an
official statement received here from
Berlin, in answering the speech made
by General Verhovsky, the Russian
minister of war, before the democratic
congress in Petrograd.
The statement reads: THE Russian
war minister, General Verhovsky as
serted at the Petrograd democratic
congress that the imperial chancellor
CDR. Michaelis) had stated among
other things at Stuttgart that Germany
was ready to return Alsace Lorraine to
France. The imperial chancellor's ut
terances at Stuttgart are generally
known and the assertion of the Russian
war minister is an invention.
General Verkhovsky further stated
that it was Germany's intention to
make a separate peace with Great
Britain and France at the cost of Rus
sia and that Great Britain and France
had informed the Russian government
that they would not be parties to any
such proposal.
"1 herewith state that Germany has
made no proposals whatever for a sep
arate peace either to France Of Great
Britain
Reports Current in Russia.
Last month reports were circulated
in Russia that France and Great Brit
ain had received offers from Germany
to make peace at the expense of Rus
sia. They become so insistent that
the Russian government obtained from
France and Great Britain formal de-
malls that they would make peace with
Germany to the detriment of Russia.
General Verkhovsky made this an
nouncement before the democratic
congress in Petrograd on September
28
The reported statement of General
Verkhovsky as regards Alsace LORI
aine has not been received previously
in this country.

the United States and Japan"
The Times adds that close union
between the two great Pacific powers,
to which the reception of the Ishii
mission gives new strength and new
significance, will both hasten the de-
liverance of the world from the Ger
man menace and prepare for future
peace in the far East.
