Greman Papers Show Great
Interest in American Coun
ter Proposals to Eng
land and Germany.
Washington, Feb. 24. Adminis
tration officials today continued silent
regarding the informal proposals to
Germany and Great Britain regarding
the question if foodstuffs for the civ
ilian populations of : belligerent na
tions and submarine war against
merchant vessels. The, nature, of the
negotiations was not disclosed on (ac
count of their delicacy. Diplomats,
however, generally believe that the
suggestion was made that American
cinsular representatives and Ameri
can organizations supervise the dis
tribution of foodstuffs to the German
civilians.
The destruction of the American
cotton steamer Carib off . the German
coast has increased official anxiety
for the safety of ships, following as
it does so closely on the sinking of
the Evelyn, causing the fear that
complications might arise over the
loss of American lives as a result of
submarine attacks. .
Gorman Papers Interested.
Berlin, Feb. 24. Berlin newspa
pers are' displaying great interest in
the American note of February 22,
embodying formal proposals for the
regulation of food products for Ger
man civilians and : concerning the
question of' submarines.' The propos
als are being considered. The Tage
blutt says: .
"We hear that this American note
Is couched In a form which apparent
ly shows that on the American side
also there Is no desire to have the
matter become more acute. .
"The fact' that the American gov
ernment makes a counter proposal
shows that It is not able fully to .dlS'
regard the weight of Germany's rea
sons.

Senate Easily Puts Through
Army and Fortification
Appropriation Bill
Washington,"" Feb. 24. Without a
dissenting vote the senate has passed
the army appropriation bill' carrying
approximately 3103,000,000, while the
house passed the $6,000,000 fortifica
tions bill.
The- only debate on the army bill
related to action of the senate com
mittee In striking out of the house bill
a provision which would prohibit the
use of stop watches and other so-called
scientific, shop management methods
in government plants and deny appro
priations for payment of bonuses to
employes. Senator Hughes, Martlne
and others urged restoration of the
provision, while Senator Root mail an
appeal for the rewarding of ambition.
The committee was sustained.
An all day discussion of the national
defence preceded the passage of the
fortifications bill in the hous?. Repre
sentative Sherley, of Kentucky, in
charge of the measure, declared there
was no danger of American fortifica
tions being destroyed by; a hostile
fleet; that the fleet of an eiiomy would
not seek to reduce fortresses if It nad
control of the sea and would not waste
ammunition shooting from a range cf
21,000 yards. Mr. Shirley , admitted
that there might be danger of bom
bardment of some cities but insisted
that the cost of fortifying all coast
cities would be too tremendous to con
sider. .. Representative Mann asked
why Great Britain and the allies, hav
ing control of the sea, did not bom
bard German fortifications.
"It Ib a good deal better for them to
undertake to bottle up Germany's
fleet," replied Mr. Sherley, "and con
trol avenues of trade than to risk go
ing up against the German fleet and
fortifications .nd with almost certain
ty that they would be unable to sub
due them from the sea. In the Dar
danelles It is difficult. They are 'un
dertaking to attack those forts to get
to a given place, but their success re
mains to be seen."
Representative Butler, of Pennsyl
vania, Insisted that Xmerican trading
ships should stay away from the
"death zone" and that even the de
struction of such vessels should not be
permitted to Involve the nation In war.
The house appropriations committee
completed the general deficiency bill,
the last of all these annual supply
measures of congress. The estimates
covered in the bill aggregated $90,000,
000 from which a considerable cut
was made. The bill probably will be
reported today. After disposing of
the army bill, the senate began con
sideration of the postoffice appropria
tion of the postoffice appropriation
measure carrying $317,946,869.

The liberallly-incllned members be

As "a practical measure, the whole
question hinges upon the availability
of other candidates to fill, the posi

German population does not exceed
three per cent of the entire popula

place in the administrative activity

Laughinghouse Urges Plan for
Big Almshouse Evidence
Being Gathered in Car-

(By W. T. Host.)
The state highway commission bill
which hammered itself through the
house yesterday after two days of the
fiercest fighting against it, is ready for
the senatorial O. K. on its provisions,
which aren t many.
The measure began with $30,000
appropriation but was trimmed to
$10,000, Small favors were thankfully
received. But for Bowie it had been
irremediable loss. For the first time
during the session the speaker's vote
to break a tie was invoked and Mr.
Bowie saved the day for the Durham
county road builder.
The amendments were so many that
the house was literally lost. Vann of
Union presented a measure which
looked likely. He wanted no appro
priation unless the federal government
was ready to turn over its $650,000.
"I consider 3650,000 a good dividend
on $30,000," Mr. Vann said, but he
wasn't willing to enter a less radical
business bargain
He impressed the house and when
the vote was taken 50 were with him
and 60 against him. Speaker Bowie
Immediately broke the tie and gave
to the house the opportunity to apeak
on the original bill with the appro
priation bill with the appropriation

after it had been withdrawn.
Minority Leader Williams made a
powerful effective speech against any
such appropriation now and declared
that the most rigorous economy now
demands retrenchment, whereas the
highway commission bill proposes not
to only appropriations but bears the
marks of a commission that is design
ed to create new offices. Whether
Colonel Cameron thought a pacifier
necessary or not, he entertained an
amendment putting republicans on the
commission. .

Berlin, Feb. 24. (By Wireless to

man submarine off Beachy Head at

interest was pliown lir the proposal of

crats. Thij only hope, of course, was
in the justice of the democracy. It Is
said by republicans and democrats
that the minority party stands In envi
able light. It came and asked for an
election on the school boards. A large
sentiment In the democracy was ready
to grant It The republicans trusted
to the caucus and left it in the hands
of the majority. They lose and the

However, it Is mighty certain that
the next democratic state convention

Dr. H. Q. Alexander, president of

yesterday declared that he is net run

Dr. Alexander declared this his final

had been Importuned often to oppose
Treasurer I.acy, he had never really
intended to do so and had now defin
itely made up his mind not to offer
his candidacy.
He did not commit himself further
but It is believed by some of the mem
bers of the farmers union that the
union- thinks its measure before the
general assembly may be hurt by con
stant suggestion that the prominent
officials from Dr. Clarence Poe and
Mr. Alexander down through various
ly scattered officers over the state may
enter politics and the union is deter
