EMPERORS NOT FRIENDLY ABOUT THE WAR Claimed That Kaiser and Austrian Emperor Met in Berlin on Last
 Friday. AGREEMENT DID FAIL Germany Ready to Crush Austria by Violent
 Measures if the
 Need Arises.
AGREEMENT DID FAIL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2e.-An offic- ial French dispatch says the Emper. or of Austria visited the Kaiser last Friday, and that the outstanding feature was the lacking of cordiaIity which marked the interview.
 The dispatch says there seems iit- tie doubt that there is serious con- flict between the courts of Vienna and Berlin. 1t is apparent Germany ia determined to settle all difference. es by violent measures, should they become necessary.
 It is believed that the main break between the two Emperors was caus- ed by the refusal of Austria to send troops to Ukraine.

PEANUT POLITICS

1t is to be regretted that at the
very beginning of his campaign DR..
John w. Summers, republican nomi-
nee for congress from this district,
has resorted to methods which SAVIOR
strongly of peanut politics and dema-
gogy. On September II he sent a
letter to his democratic opponent,
W. Il. McCroskey, proposing that
each of them leave the district and
remain away until election day, do
ing Y. NJ. c. A. or other war work,
and permitting the voters to decide
between them without further can
vassing.
This proposition is so unfair as to
10 absurd. In the first place, as DR..
summers claims, there is a normal
republican majority of about 5000
votes in the district, which alone
would be sufficient to defeat Mr.. Nc
Croskey, unless he can win over half
OF them to his support. The only
way in which he could do this would
manifestly be by impressing them
with his superior qualifications for
the position.
But DR.. Summers apparently does
not consider this normal republican
majority of 5000 a sufficient handi-
cap to his opponent. He based his
prediction of winning the nomination
at the primary election on the fact
mat he had been campaigning for
over year and had canvassed every
NOOK and Granny of the district" not
0"ce' out two or three times. Mean
WINE as Dr. Summers must have
Anown, Mr.. McCroskey, not having
any opposition for the nomination,
Hao made no attempt to meet the
'o'ers, beyond visiting a few of the
larger towns and comforting with his
''ehds' The republican candidate's
proposition amounts to this: 81 have
normal majority of 5000 votes in
my favor. l have canvassed the dis
"iet thoroughly, not once, but two
VI three times. You have not, can
'assed 1t at all, so let's both go away
nu remain away until election day
"u permit the voters to decide be-
s"een me- whom they know, and you
""oh they do not know" For pure
unauthorized gall, such a PROPOSE

A WISE AND TIMELY CAMPAIGN

The campaign which is being
waged to conserve the lives and
health of the babies of the United
States is both wise and timely and
the Child's Welfare Days, fixed in
the various communities to arouse
parents to their responsibilities,
should be generally observed. The
detection and correction of slight
physical defects in infants may have
a lasting effect upon their lives, and
determine whether they are to be
strong and useful men and women
or weak and helpless inyalids. The
handicap of weak eyes, poor health,
or diseased threats is a heavy one,
which can usually be eliminated by
the proper treatment begun at the
proper time, and that time is in baby
hood.
The fact that our soldiers in
France have the finest physique, the
best teeth and the clearest eyes Of
any of the fighting men at the front
is due in large part to the fact that
they had the best care when infants,
and have been taught the importance
of safeguarding their physical we'll
being in every way possible.
1t is just as important war duty
to promote the health, vigor and wei
fare of the babies at home as of the
fighting men at the front. The par
ents of Pullman and vicinity may be
able to acquire some valuable infor-
nation from the lectures and eXhib-
its which have been arranged for the
Child's Welfare Days in this city next
Monday and Tuesday 1t is certainly
worth any mothers time to have her
baby examined and to receive sugges-
tions as to the best methods of pro-
noting its physical and mental well
being.
