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 visit for the day looking after some business matters. Rev. A. G.

Viall has again made his appear ance. He stopped at the residence his father-in-law, Mr. Metteer, on Monday, and after sitting for a while in the house, snatched up his little boy and started for his buggy. The mother of the child Mrs. Viall, fol lowed him to the buggy trying to get the child, when Viall knocked her senseless, and started off at full speed. On her return to conscious ness, Mrs. V. started to follow him on 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 Falls of different parties, but on ar riving there, he learned that Viall and the two scoundrels that were with him, had turned off, and gone to ward Nebraska City. Miles, the Supposed Horse Thief, Hangs Himself. The old man arrested sometime age and held for stealing Patterson's horses anri who gave his name as Miles, hung himself in the county jail 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.

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.

NO ROMANCE Hi BATTLE Mechanical Devices on Land and Sea Have Mado It Grinding Work Eu rope Has Produced Few Heroes De spite Enormity of War Taxes Pe.ss ed on by Rich. By ARTHUR V. DUNN. Washington, I Vb. .". lSp.- ial. If the United States should go t w:ir It will not t-e Lecuuso the pec pie want war. Then; Is no doubt whatever tli.it 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 if. It is generally understood th-tt a minority of the people bring on war and that congress follows the minori ty. As a visual thing the minority is somewhat more clamorous til m th; majority, and, as t.'hamp (.Mark says, "we have forced every war v.lii. h w;; have had." No Romance In War. There is no longer any romance in war. Heroes have to be manufactur ed. Ihiropo has been engaged in the greatest war the w ol id has ever known, and think of the small number of heroes that have; been ere ifed; Our people are more generoii-s in th-.' matter of war heroes. Wo had a lilt'e war of three months with Spain, and we turned out i';ite a number oT ni.-n who were le t only heroes oj tin; war. but were rosvaided very HKr::!iy by the republic. There is no longer any rom.in.-o in war on the sea, such as t. create i : -n like John Paul Jones I'eoatur, Terry, or In the civil war men like I'arra-,!it. The mechanics, the huge ships, the im-nr-:is guns and the necessity for t'e jng behind e.u thuorUs and in tren- ces have taken away all the romance there. wa.i in w ar. Taxes Are Passed On. All attempt's to raise r.'vci ue e?;pen.so of tie rich and allow th to osei'p" fail to provide a i.v: which the rich it re piwenc- d nt the e poor ! v ;o:.i passing th tax oh to Io- f- viv ww . people. There I-- one I 'omoci -it in vn ress who took the view that e : I be la?t revenue bill, w hich is ai:aed at th.; rich, will bit the poor as well. .S.ti.l Martin IHcs of Texas: "It p ravels me like everything to vot? j for this bill. I am not deceived into believing that the rich will pay all th!- When you take taxes t'ii ia ih birr corporations Ihev pass i! on down to thoe who plow in the tieKN j and work in the workshops ot tin-; oounlry, just as they pass down ever;, oilier tax." 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.
