LENROOT IS LEADING
IN WISCONSIN RACE
entinoed from Figa On)
ty, considered a Thompson stronghold.
The vote was: Lenroot, 182; Thompson,
4 : Davies, 175 ; Berger, 10.
,' Berger was wildly enthusalstlc over
the large increase In the Socialist vote
and he declared that the primary indi
cated that Wisconsin Is opposed to the
war, e said his vote in the state
would approximate 50,000.
!, Thompson carried LaCrosse,, his home
city, but the returns indicate that Len
root ' captured most of the other dis
tricts in the western and northwestern
part of the state.
Berger led in Sheboygan, considered a
Teutonlo stronghold, with a total vote of
11.327.
Victor Berger. lone Socialistic candi
date, has wrecked Thompson, appar
ently, outside of Milwaukee, by polling
an unprecedented total of Socialist voten
..that may be greater than 46,000.
: "On a 100 per cent anti-war Issue,"
Berger said today, "I have ruined
Thompson, posing as a fifty-fifty can-
. dldate, as between LaFollette and
LaFollette's enemies."
Lenroot Carries Madison -
The preliminary figures from acaUer-
' lng city precincts tend to show that the
"German vote" marched solidly to the
'polls and voted for Berger on a sharp
. anti-war platform.
The city of Madison, LaFollette's
noma, complete, gave Lenroot 2264,
inoropson 2004; LaFollette's precinct
gave unroot 85. Thompson 43.
ne Democratic primary resulted in
a-landslide for Joseph E. Davies, former
secretary .of the Democratic national
commutes ana untu last week a mem
ber of the federal trade commission.
Jjavtea unquestionably has defeated
Dr. Charles McCarthy by a 5 to 1 vote.
The surprise of the early returns came
in the results in Dodge county, for years
the Democratic stronghold of the state.
Complete returns showed victory for
Thompson over the entire field.
The vote follows:

Washington. March 20. L N. 8.1
Italy, haa spurned a new and tempting
peace offer from Austria and Germany.
This fact was officially confirmed in
diplomatic information reaching Wash
ington Tuesday. It formed one of the
DrtnciDal bases of- the success or ine
recent meeting of the inter-allied war
council in . London. .
According to diplomatic advices re
ceived here the results of the war coun
cil, upon which it issued a new defiance
to the central powers and a new pledge
to fight for victory, may be summed up
as follows:
First West of Sues, the allied Una la
firm In a political and military sense.
Every possible military disposition to
meet and In soma Instances to' mors
than meet a Oerman offensive haa been
efficiently mads.
Second East of Sues, the Oerman
menace is recognised as for the present
remote. .
Await Erects la Bntila
Though tha entente statesmen are re
ported to have been unanimously in
favor of Japanese Intervention in Si
beria, they are also reported as willing
to await crystallisation of events in
Russia and a possible change of the
attitude of the United States before
taking actual measures to meet the
Oerman advance with the help of
Japan.
The decisions of the council with re
spect to Italy are re ported .to have pro
duced a particularly happy result.
The council. In errect, has recognised
the value of the Italian link In the allied
chain which binds Germany in the
west ' .
With full cooperation of Italy, steps
have been taken to meet the great thrust
on the Lombardy plans of which fresh
evidences have developed within tha
last' few days.
Peace Offer Generous
The peace offer to Italy Is understood
to have been of the most generous na
ture and to have come from a direct of
flcial source. It was promptly rejected
by Italy, however, as only a part of the
political drive accompanying the Teu
ton trust at Lombardy. The shifting of
the Oerman attack to the westward, as
Indicated in dispatches from Switserland
and Italy and recently received here, was
recognised aa a menace to effective
Italian cooperation In the war.
Should the Germans reach Brescia It
was recognized that even If Italy con
tlnued to fight, as Premier Orlando
pledged her to, her work would be lit
tie more effective than that of Serbia
and Roumania.
Similar tenders of peace, accompanied
by threats of a drive, were reported at
the council to have been made to Serbia,
and even to France. Not only were all
rejected, but according to reports here,
the delegates to the council left assured
of the fact that ample military pro
vision has been taken to meet every

Immediate disarmament after this

violating the terms of the open cove

high international crime and held to ac

play, hating study robbed of lively interest in life. Such a child can
