GERMAN CHANCELLOR
TO DISCUSS PEACE TERMS

In the near future at a session of the
Reichstag, It was announced todns
The Overseas N'cws Agency issued tho
following statement this nftornoon
"The Imperial Chancellor probablj will
how that the rulers of the countries at
war with Germans nro still blinded by
their belief In Germans 's starvation nnd
economic prostration and other Illusions,
and that, therefore, Germanj's peace con
ditions, which would he dictated bj her
successes on tho whole battlo line, would
hardly be acceptablo nnd might bo In
terpreted as signs of weakness or weari
ness of tho war"
"This Interpretation," says the Over
seas Agency, Is caused by the fact that
nobody In Germany understands why our
enemies, after their diplomatic defeats
and military failures In tho Palkans, have
Jiot yet begun peaco negotiations."
The Chancellor's statement will be In
reply to an Interpellation by tho So

ROOSEVELT NOT GOING
BACK TO REPUBLICANS,
SAYS GEO. W. PERKINS
Withdrawal of Name From Pri
maries in Nebraska Should
End Such Talk, He
Asserts
MAKES PLANS FOR 1916
NnW VORK, Dec ! Colonel Itoosevelt
has absolutely no Intention of returning
to the Ilepubilcan parts", according to
George W. Perkins, chairman of the
Progressive Htecutlve Committee, who
was slated for a conference with the
Colonel todas.
"Tho Colonel's action In withdrawing
his name us a Presidential candidate
from the Ilepubilcan primaries In
Nebraska should end all talk that he Is
going back to the old parts," said Mr
Perkins.
Mr Pel kins' statement apparently Is
backed up by recent activity at Ojster
Hay During the last few weeks several
Piogressivc parts leaders, particularly
those from tho middle West, have been
In conference with Colonel Itoosevelt.
Victor Murdock and Medlll McCormitk
have confeired with the Colonel within
the last foitulriht Chairman Prank P.
Coirtck, of the Nebraska Progressive
State Committee, was at Osster Hay, on
Tuesday Chairman Clarence P. Dodge,
of the Colorado Progressive State Com
mittee, expected to see the Colonel to
day Mr. Perkins was asked about reports
that the Progressives are willing to In
doise Justice Hughes -in case he Is
nominated for the Presidency by the Ile
pubilcan convention.
"I am too uuss to ileny all reports cir
culated by reactionaries," no said "Uut
the statement our committee Issued a
few duia ago should cover that point
The Progressives are not bothering ubout
what tho Kepubllcans or the Democrats
may do. We are going straight ahead
with our plans for l'J16."
The 19U Progressive platform "brought
up to date" will form the basis of the
parts's appeal for votes In 1915, Mr
Perkins bald Besides Colonel Itoosevelt
and Governor Johnson, of California, Al
bert J. Bovcrldge and Charles Sumner
Ulrd former Progressive candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts, are being
talked of as Progressive presidential pos
sibilities, he said.
"The, Progressives have an organiza
tion for this campaign," said Mr. Per
kins. "Four years ago we had nothing
In the wuy of au organization. Financing
the campaign probably will bother us.
v. eiDLct. however. o meet with suc
