Air Right of Free Speech
Before G. @. P. Committee

St Louis. Feb. l2.-Today's meeting
OF the Republican National commit
tee was a troubled one and in the hope
that the night might spread calm over
the restless waters, the vital matter Of
the selection of a chairman was post
poned until 1880 tomorrow afternoon.
The schedule called for an election to-
day. but those in power ordained that
some resolutions should be passed.
and that suffragists and anti snffrag-
lists should be given a hearing.
The expected public attack on John
T. Adams, candidate for chairman,
did not materialize. His friends as

British Army Headquarters in

least one offensive operation on the

The statement Of the prisoner is
not surprising. in view Of the in

movements have been observed for
some time back of the German line

UNSIGNED AGREEMENT
THREATENS TEUTONS
Enemy Not Able to Obtain
Much Food From Starved
Nations in East.

Washington, Feb. l2.--Witll the
opening Of tho great campaign OF 1913
on the western front apparently within
sight. military men here examined to-
day with profound interest the situa-
tion created by the signing Of 4 peace
pact between the central powers and
the mw Ukraine republic aud the deci-.

Their conclusions were not disoour-

the advantages the central powers may
derive.

are regarded as of doubtful military

Food Will Be Scarce.
There Is doubt here also, AS To the
extent to which the Agricultural re-
sources of the Ukraine or OF Russia can
be brought To the aid Of the German
people IN the near future. Failure of
the Russian transportation system
worked In Germany's interest In un-
dermining the fighting power of tho
Russian armies. The same agency
now. necessarily works against the
central powers In It's desire to get out

May be Safe.

Washington. Feb. 12.-Forty names
were removed today from the list of
American soldiers who were
on board tho torpcdoed liner Tuscania,
leaving 800 still to be accounted for.
AS the war department advices show
only 1l3 soldiers lost. ls7 of those now
unreported probably are safe.
The war department tonight had no
official information to confirm cable
dispatches from Scotch port saying
that apparently l59 Americans had
been fost. The dispatches said that
thus far 145 bodies had been buried
along the Scotch coast and IL addi-
tional bodies were recovered yesterday
Only seven additional survivors were
named In today's dispatches and the
department had not succeeded In de-
ciphering a number OF names garbled
in cable transmission. Twenty one men
whose names appeared on the Tus-
cania's passenger list were removed
from the roll of unreported when the
department WAS advised that they had
been taken off for hospital treatment
when the ship touched at Halifax
Twelve others were eliminated because
they had been reported In press dis
patches at hospitals in Ireland.

London, Feb. 12.--After declaring
that the government will stand by the
considered declaration he made early
in the year to the trades union repre-.
sentatives. Premier David Lloyd
George told the house of commons to-
day that he had read with the most
profound disappointment the replies of
Count Won Hertling, the imperial Ger
man chancellor, and Count CZernin, the
Austro- Hungarian foreign minister to
President Wilson's and his own
speeches,
1T is perfectly true as far as the
tone Is concerned" ne said, "that there
is a great difference in the Austrian
and German speeches. But l wish l
could believe there is difference in
substance.
II cannot altogether and | regret it,
accept the interpretation of the Ger
min speech. II WAS extraordinarily civ
II In tone and friendly. But when you
come to the real substance Of the de-
mands put forward by the allies 1t was
adamant. 1t put Mesopstamia, Paies-
nae and Arabia in exactly the same
category as Belgium. They were to be
restored to the Turks on the same con-
ditions presumably as those on which
Germany was to restore Belgium.
when it came to the Italian de-
mands. Count Czernin simply said tlrh
certain offers had been made before
the war and that they now were with
drawn. SO far as the Slavonic popu-
lation of Austria is concerned. it was
simply a polite statement to President
Wilson and the others that 1t was none
of our business to inquire. There was
not a single definite question dealt with
where Cxernin did not present the most
definite refusal to discuss any terms
which might be regarded as possible
terms of peace and. when you come to
the German reply. it is very difficult
to believe Won Hertling could be even
serious In some of the demands he puts
forward.
what was his answer to the allies
very moderate demands? His answer
was that Great Britain was to give her
coaling stations throughout the world.

mand Germany ought decently to have

The premier's refusal to explain the
enlargement of the functions of the
Versailles council caused considerable
comment in the house. He insisted on
the impossibility OF explaining execu
tive functions without at the same time
divuiging the decision of the council.
