| ment that negotiations are under
i way with progressive republicans and
! democrats, prohibitionists, secialists
jand representatives of other parties,

gressives and plan for the formation
cf a league of liberals was made yes
terday in issuing a call for a con
vention of enrolled members of that
party in St. Louis, April 12, 13 and
14.
Mr. Hale asserted that the '‘radical
ism" of the progressives of 1912 now
: had already become the law of the
! land. The Solid South, he said, would
j yield only to a third party. He urged
that the progressives unite the liberal
elements in all parties into a “domi
nant power for good government.”
It was announced that a committee
!on resolutions had been appointed
(and that it would sit at the national
! headquarters in this city until a week
before the convention, which is ex
pected to adopt “permanent working
plans for the future of the party."
All resolutions should be submitted
to this committee for reference to
the convention, it was said.
Mr. Hale’s call for the convention
contained copies of resolutions pass
ed at a meeting of progressives last
December, re-affirming “in every de
tail the platform adopted at the birth
of the party in Chicago in August,
1912.
GERMANS READY FOR

AMSTERDAM March 2:1.—The Ko
Ulnische Volks Zeitung. a copy of
J which has been received here, ad
| mits the arming of American raer
ichanftnont will make Germany’s posi

j belief that the Americans will not
find it easy to provide guns and gun
'crews and says it does not believe
the danger of German submarines
will be increased.
“We have always maintained,” says
the newspaper, “that a victory over
1 England would be impossible unless
' we also determined to face America,
j This moment has now come. If an
| American declaration of war arrives
,the German people will accept it with
i the same determination and confi

previous declarations."
