THER ELUDICATED
London. Feb.. 14. The Cerman offi
cial version of the proposals made
through the Swiss minister in Wash
ington for a conference on submarine
questions is given in the following of
ficial telegram, says Reuter's Amster
dam correspondent:
'"What lies at the bottom of this
report is the following:
"A telegram from the Swiss minis
ter in Washington was transmitted to
Germany by Switzerland in which the
minister offered, if Germany was
agreeable, to mediate in negotiations
with the American government about
the declaration of prohibited areas, as
thei t by the danger of war between
Germany and the United States might
be diminished.
'"The Swiss government was then
requested to inform its minister at
Was-hirgfon that Germany, as before
was :eady to negotiate with America
in case the commerce barier against
our enemies remained vntouched.
"As is obvious, Germany could only
have entered into such negotiations
on condition that, firstly, diplomatic
relations between America and Ger
many should be restored and secondly,
that the object of the negotiations
ccu'd only be certain concessions re
specting American passenger ships.
"The interdiction of overseas im
ports proclaimed against our enemies
through unrestricted submarine war
faro would thus, even if diplomatic
relations with America were restored,
be in no circumstances relaxed.
"The reply of the Swiss minister at
Washington expressed very clearly
that in the resolute carrying out of
our U-boat war against the entire
overseas import of our enemies there
is for us no turning back."
Mrs. Henry Hesse and little son,
Howard, were among those going to
Omaha this morning, where they will

Rev. A. G. Hollow-ell, former pastor
of the Christian church in this city,

horseback, where the matter rests so
far as we have been informed. Later:
Mr. Metteer started in pursuit of
Viall, going toward Weeping Water,
and found that he had inquired the

and the two scoundrels that were with

Miles, the Supposed Horse Thief,
Hangs Himself.
The old man arrested sometime age

on Saturday last, about four o'clock.
At 3:10 Marshal Murphy was at the
jail and everything was all right;
the old man asked for a book to read
and the marchal got him one, a novel
of some sort. A little after four, as
we were going into Judge Sullivan's
office, the marshal ran by saying,
Miles has hung himself, come over
some of you." Mr. Jonothan Wise,
Judge Sullivan and ourself ran over
in a few moments, we found the mar-
hal, Deputy Sheriff Ashley and
Henry Miller: Ashley and Miller had
just cut him down and carried the
body ovit into the front of the jail
room. It was yet warm, but no sign
of a pulse or heart beat. Ashley
tried for sometime to force breath-
ing but it was of no avail and all
that was left of the curious, cautious,
reticent old man was cold, cold clay.
He tore up his shirt to make the
rope and fastened it to one of the
ventilators, being obliged to almost
kneel in order to choke; he must have
been determined to die and die he did.

AUSTRIA FIRM
ON THE SUB
WAR POLICY
Central Power Hopes For No Diplo
matic Break. But Will Not
lielenf.
Thinks United States Should Find
Way to Overlook Drastic
U-boat Policy.
London, Feb. 14. The following
semi-official statement from Vienna
regarding the relations of Austria-
Hungary and the United States ap
pears in the General Anzeiger of Dus
seldorf. "Negotiations have been taking
place between Count C'zernin (Austio
Hungarian minister of foreign affairs)
and Frederic C. Penfield, the American
ambassador at Vienna, since the rup
ture of relations between the United
States and Germany on the question
of the future relations between the
United States ami Austria-Hungary
in view of the fact that Austria-Hungary
associated herself with Ger
many's declaration of intensified sub
marine warfare.
"On the American side a desire has
been shown to avoid a rupture with
Austria-Hungary, because Washington
shrinks from severing all relations
with the central powers. Berlin, too,
would prefer that this last bridge was
left unbroken.
"The opinion prevails in Vienna and
Berlin that the decision to embark
upon an intensified submarine warfare
did not constitute an action which
should have forced the United States
to such a policy as has been chosen by
Washington toward Germany
The central powers have no intention
of cancelling the new submarine war
fare especially in view of the impos
sibility of establishing, under the
present methods of submarine fight
ing, whether there are any Americans
on board torpedoed vessels. No con
cessions could be made to the United
States which would render native the
nature of the new submarine warfare,
not even for the sake of the highly
valued friendship of the United States.
"It therefore remains with America
to find means which will permit the
maintenance of normal relations, ac
cording to the American conception
between America and the dual mon
archy even with the continuance of
intensified submarine warfare.
"The negotiations between the Aus-tro-IIungarian
foreign office and the
American ambassador have, up to now,
led to no result but a negative or posi
tive settlement may be reached in a
few days. Count Tarnowski (Austro
Hungarian ambassador to the United
States) has not yet presented his cre
dentials, but has already had a con
versation with Secretary of State Lan
sing." WILL SERVE LUNCHES.

Seeley, Who Has Supplied U. S. Army

F.II. Seeley of Chicago and Phila

tracts the opening in ten days on
the average case. This instrument
received the only award in England

without surgery, injections, medical
treatments or prescriptions. Mr.
Seeley has documents from the Uni

a uiiijoilty of our people, would prefer
peace, and for that reason then v i 1 1
never be a constitutional amendment
providing tlkit war shall be settled by
the referendum vote, as proposed by
William J. Bryan. Congress will never
allow the war power to be lalceii from

minority of the people bring on war
and that congress follows the minori

somewhat more clamorous til m th;

"we have forced every war v.lii. h w;;

No Romance In War.
There is no longer any romance in

Our people are more generoii-s in th-.'

There is no longer any rom.in.-o in

The mechanics, the huge ships, the im-nr-:is

Campaign Talk.
I'nele Joe Cannon in supporting
President Wllsojf.s veto of the immi
gration bill had this t say of an fsue
in the last campaign: 'There was
much talk, and it was part campaign
talk, about the negroes coming north
to vote the Republican ticket, and all
that kind of stuff. These negroes arc
coming north to labor because they
got a better wage than they got down
south. And I urn almost afraid to say
how many are coming now, because I
may not bo accurate, but cert a inly by
the tens of thousands they are coming
north."
Mr. Cannon warned the southerners
that they ought to have a care and
not trj' to prevent immigrants from
coming into this country, for they
would have very great need for the
labor of these immigrants In the south
ern states.
Wonderful Change of Opinion.
During a discussion on the bill which
extends prohibition to the territory of
Alaska Congressman Slayden of Texas
made a very strong argument against
sumptuary legislation. Ou that occa
sion Shi den said:
"I have found it in the teachings of
the fathers of the party, but I find dis:
tressingly few people now who tail
themselves 'Democrats' who have any
respect for those principles or such
teachings."
A quarter of a century ago on nearly
eveiy vote that was taken in the house
of representatives it was found that
the Democrats were almost solidly op
posed to anything like prohibition.
Now only a very few Democrats op
pose prohibition.
Flag Bill Passes.
Several days ago I called attention
to the peculiar fact that the bill to
prevent the desecration of the Ameri
can flag had failed to pass in one house
or the other. Filially the bill has
passed as it relates to the District of
Columbia. That it went through the
seuate was duo largely to the efforts
of Senator Pomeretie of Ohio, who has.
been a friend of the measure ever since
he has been in congress. When this j
bill was considered a suggest! on was !
made that it ought to apply to every j
state in the Union, but there is some
doubt whether the protection of the '
Hag does not belong to the police pow- '
or: of the states instead of the United j
States. I
