PROGRESSIVES REVOLT. ~~ Some Call Roosevelt Action Treachery—Barnes Faction Upset by Ex-Senator, Under the pretense of a discusston of preparedness, the meeting yester- @ay of Col. Roosevelt with Elihu _ Root, Senator Lodge and Gen. Wood at the house of Robert Bacon was tm reality a political reconciliation. Preparedness was discussed, but chiefly in its bearing upon the politi- cal situation. Among the plans and results of the conference are the following: Co). Roosevelt is an active candi- date for the Presidential nomination by the regularRepublican convention, More important, however, than his own personal success, he declared the importance of defeating President Wilson for re-clection, If the Colonel cannot be nominated by the Republicans he is willing to give his unqualified support to any ‘man who can beat Wilson. The one condition is that the nominee must be of such type and strength as to insure the ejectment of President Wilson from the White House. The Roosevelt declaration of readt- ness to support Hughes still stands. ROOSEVELT WANTS A MAN OF HEROIC CAST. But the Colonel would look with more favor upon some man more to hig own liking, a man with red blood ‘and more heroic cast. There is pos- sibility that the Colonel may desig- nate Gen. Leonard Wood as his second choice. Preparedness and aggressive defense of American honor is to be the key- note of the Colonel's campaign and next to himself nobody is more of a heroic figure than Gen. Wood. + Benator Lodge of Massachusetts is to be permanent chairman of the Re-! publican convention. Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota wes {a being considered as a good selec- © tion for temporary chairman, as he is + of foreign birth and so patriotic that he was one of the few Republicans who voted against the armed ship warning resolution, A reconciliation between Col.

AMSTERDAM, Holland (via Lon- don), April 1.—A despatch from Ber- lin says the resolution regarding sub- marine warfare which was adopted by all parties in the Reichstag except the recently created Socialist minor- ity group is to be presented to Chan- cellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. The resolution stands in the names of Major Ernst Basserman, leader of | ‘the National Liberals, and twelve other members of the Reichstag. The resolution as received here is in part as follows: “Seeing that the submarine has Proved to be an effective weapon against English methods of warfare, based on the starvation of Germany, the Reichstag expresses the convie- tion that it is necessary to make such use of our submarines, as of all our military means, as will guarantee the peace and safeguard the future of Germany.” While accepting the compromise agreement, the Conservative press | Shows a spirit of resignation that is not wholly resigned. The Taegliche ! | | | | | | Rundschau complains that it is so than it did a fortnight ago. jin expressing dissatisfaction with re- ;gard to the resolution and regrets that it is impossible publicly to ex. plain why. He complains that the resolution leaves entirely in the dis- jer of employing submarines. He ;adds that only the principle of the free use of submarines is whereas there is no guaranty that the will exists thus to.employ them. The foregoing translation of the res- olution places a different construction on the attitude of the Reichstag than that implied in the translation of the resolution sent from London on Thursday. That version contained these words: ‘The Reichstag ex- presses certitude that it Is necessary to use all military means, exclusive of submarines, in such way as to in- sure a peace which guarantees Ger- many’s future.” SISTERS OF CHARITY DIE IN TORPEDOED WAR HOSPITAL SHP Physicians and Red Cross Workers Perish on the Rus- sian Vessel, Portugal.

Forty-three out of three hundred members of the senior class of Prince- ton University have gone on record a6 never having been kissed. Princeton yesterday to meet these forty-three vestals, to study them and, if Possible, deduce from their candid faces the type of young man who is still unkissed at 21.7, the average age of a Princeton senior this year. No student signed his name to the ballot on which was written the most secret record of his soul. believed, therefore, that all told the truth. The non- kissers gave some of their reasons ‘couldn't swing it; in answering the question, “Have you ever kissed a Why not?” replied: “Yes, why not?” One hundred and sixty men answered that it was not morally wrong to kiss a girl, while forty said that hygienic; girl? it was, LET THE JURY DECIDE. With the aid of Prince, the hound puppy belonging to Prall Bird, one of the kissed-and-proud-of-it seniors, T finally hit the trail of half a dozen serious-minded youths, some of them studying for the ministry, who are generally regarded as belonging to the famous forty-three. It must be said that the evidence in the case rests on the testimony of the kissed seniors and is, therefore, entirely clrcumstan- tial, Igive it tothe jury for what it Is worth, but the jury, of course, is the sole judge of the facts. Sam Shoe- maker, I was told, could be numbered So can Harry Williams, by class vote, the most likely bachelor, (Reason why his classmates believe that Williams is still unkissed—tdo shy.) Among the other seniors reputed never to have tasted the joys of the kiss, were Stuart Mudd, “Lamb” Heininger and “Buddy* Tray- lor, “Buddy" admitted the soft but shameful impeachment amid a chorus from outraged classmates, who, when they heard the scandalous admission, asked in unison, “Say, ‘Buddy about those trips to Trenton?" Larry Brown, voted the laziest man in the class, was also numbered among the ingenues of the college, Reason offered by several of his classmates: “Larry's too lazy} he would not make the effort.” It must be said that C. O. Nichols, President of the Elm Club and high in the balloting for “class sport,” dis- ted from this conclusion It doesn’t take so much of an effort,” observed this very good look- ing young man “I judge that the forty-three, then; been kissed," I said “I haye and have BE Nichols promptly replied. difference, you know, right fine distinction.” I recognized from this that 1 stood safely among the vestals, you are not among that you have Mr. “There's a there—a in the presence of an expert, 60 I asked promptly What IS the difference? ‘Oh, there's nothing in just being kissed,” this gr and reverent senior answered, “You have to be kissed back, A kiss has two ele- ments--like oxygen and hydrogen, you know, I don’t see anything in this way some fellows have of kissing every girl that will let them, There's nothing in it, I'd just as soon kiss a bolster as lots of girls, But when it comes to 4 regular pippin and she's willing to meet a fellow half way— for a kiss has to be fifty-fitty to amount to anything—why, I'm right THPRE.” O, V.
