Wilcox Says This
Not the Time for
Party Discussion

New York, Feb. l2.-William R.
Wilcox, chairman of the republican
national committee, in letter tonight
to George w. Perkins and Everett
Colby, progressive members of the re-
publican campaign committee in the
recent campaign, announces his in
tention of calling meeting probably
in May next On January 81, Mr..
Perkins and Mr.. Colby addressed a
letter to Mr.. Wilcox in which they
urged him to call meeting of the
national committee TO discuss fully
and openly the grave and important
questions that confront our country
today"
In his reply Mr.. Wilcox pointed out
that it would be inopportune now to
call the national committee together
because events have taken place
which have brought our country to
the verge of war" and "this is a time
when partisan discussion is stilled and
when the best thoughts of our people,
regardless Of party feeling, is turned
to the loyal support of the admin
stration in Washington in all its eff
forts to meet honorably and fearlessly
the crisis which faces the nation"
After referring to the desire of Mr..
Perkins and Mr. Colby that the re-
publican party should "be the one
cohesive organization of the regular
republican vote, the progressive-re-
publican vote, the progressive vote
and the independent VOTE Chairman
Wilcox declared that the recent cleo
ton, although resulting in the defeat
OF the republican ticket, had shown
that the effort made to bring about
reunited party was largely success

ZIMMERMAN TELLS
OF FALSE REPORTS
Says just Learned Rumored
Acts of United States
Not Committed.
BLAMES BRITISH AGENTS

Berlin, Feb. by Wireless to
Sayvillc with reference to the
present condition OF German Ameri-
can relations the German foreign sec
rotary. DR., Alfred Zimmerman, made
the following statement today TO the
Overseas News agency:
I'VE now have practically no speedy
or reliable information about the
United States. The best proof Of this
is furnished by two wireless messages
which were sent February 5 by the
correspondence the United States OF
the German News agency and which
arrived yesterday, The contents of
these two short messages were
astounding. even sensational, for they
told that the United States govern
ment had not conhscated German
ships i'll American ports nor informed
Germans residing in the United States.
Through English Channels.
Until yesterday morning all VIC
knew about these matters had passed
through English channels, and the
gist OF these reports was that the
United States government actually
had violated the property and liberty
of German citizens,
English agents by thus adultcrat-
ing the truth did not intend, of course,
to Islander the United States, Their
intention was to create public alarm
in Germany and thus cause outbursts
of popular indignation and perhaps
even prompt the German government
to rash actions based on error. All
this then would have been reported in
exactly the same-that is incorrect
fashion to the United States by the
same British agencies. If they had
succeeded these British agents would
gave saddlcd Germany with the
responsibility and fault in the eyes Of
every candid but misled observer.
Suspended Judgment.
However, during two years and a
half we have been practically cut off
from reliable and speedy communca-
ton with the United States During
that time we have learned to appre-
ciate British reports at their true
value We, therefore. suspended judg
ment and awaited the real reports
which now after all have arrived"

All people in America and especial

consequence deposit uric acid (uratic

often suffer from twinges of rheu

govt, swollen hands or feet. Such
people are not always able to exercise
