LOUISVILLE. Ky. September l.
Kentucky democrats in state platform
convention here last night Endorsed the
administration of President Woodrow
Wilson and declared in favor of his re-
nomination in 1916. The resolution was
adopted unanimously and read in part:
I'VE believe that his mastery of the

war; requires his nomination in 1916.
and heartily indorse him as the party s

confronting the President of the United
States"

Bound by No Alliances.

"On the other hand, no such depart
ure. however serious the provocation,
would have been possible for this coun-
try, which was bound by no alliances,
with the exception of those of Japan
and Portugal. while the making of
fresh alliances was prohibited by ar
ticle ). In a word. as appeared still
more evident later. there was to be a
guarantee of absolute neutrality on one
side, but not on the other. II was i'm
possible for US to enter into contra CT
so obviously negotiable. and the for
muia. accordingly, was rejected by Sir
Edward Grey tthe British foreign min
ister).
Count Paul Wolff Metternich Ghen
German ambassador L" Great Brittany
upon this pressed for counter propos-
ais, which he stated would he without
prejudice and not binding unless we
were satisfied our wishes were met on
the naval question. On this under
standing Sir Edward Grey on the 18th
Of March, 1912, gave Count WolT-Met-
ternich the following draft formula.
which had been approved by the cab
met:
England will make no unprovoked
attack upon Germany and pursue no
aggressive policy toward her. AgRres-
sion upon Germany is not the subject
and forms no part of any treaty, UNI
derstanding or combination to which
England now is a party. nor will she
become a party to anything that has
such an object
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-09-01
did not share this view, but regarded
1t as an aggressive war.
New PROPOSAL by ENGLAND,

"Sir Edward Grey eventually pro-
posed the following formula:
THE two powers being mutually de-
sirous of securing peace and friend
ship between them, England declares
that she will neither make nor join
in any unprovoked attack on Germany.
Aggression upon Germany forms no
part of any treaty, understanding or
combination to which England now is
a party, nor will she become a party
to anything that has such an object
Sir Edward Grey when he handed
this formula to Count Wolff Metternich
said that the use of the word neutral
ity would convey the impression that
more was meant than was warranted
by the text. He suggested that the
substance of what was required would
be obtained from the more accurately
expressed words, will neither make nor
join in any unprovoked attack
Count Wolff-Metternirh thereupon
received instructions to make il quite
clear that the chancellor could recon-
mend to the emperor to give up the es-
sential parts of the Novelle (the bill
then pending for an increase of the
German navy only if we could con-
clude an agreement guaranteeing neu-
trality of a far-reaching chara cter and
leaving no doubt as to any interpreta-
ton. He admitted that the chancellor's'
wish amounted to a guarantee of abso-
luIe 1alilNS which the NO
velle must proceed.
Left the Door Open.
Count Wolff Metternich stated that
there was no chance of a withdrawal
of the Novelle, but said that it might
be modified. 1t would be disappointing
to the chancellor if we did not go be-
yond the formula we had suggested.
Sir Edward Grey said that he could
understand that there would be dis
appointment if his majesty's govern
ment were to state that the carrying
out of the Novelle would put an end
to the negotiations and form an in
surmountable obstacle to better rela-
tions.
His majestys government did not
say this and they hoped that the for
be considered in connection with the
discussion of territorial arrangements.
even if it did not prove effective in
preventing an increase in the naval
expenditures.
Sir Edward Grey added that if some
arrangement could be made between
the two governments it would have a
favorable, though indirect, effect upon
naval expenditures: as time went on, it
would have, moreover. favorable di-
rect effect on the public opinion of
both countries.
"A few days afterward Count Wolff
Metternich communicated to Sir Ed
ward Grey the substance of a letter
from the chancellor, in which the lat
ter said that, as the formula suggested
by his majestys government was, from
the German point of view. insufficient
and as his majesty's government could
not agree to the larger formula for
which he had asked, the Novelle must
proceed on the lines on which it had
been presented to the federal council
The negotiations then came to an

ments by the two countries"

serious problems which have ever faced
any executive in this generation. ana

craftsmanship have deserved and re-
ceived the confidence and approval OF

The convention declared in favor OF
continuing in force the county unit, or
local option law, as against statewide
prohibition.
Other planks in the platform pledged
the party to further a constitutional
amendment permitting convict labor on
public roads and eliminating the prison
contract system; changes in the state
taxation system: educational reforms
and extensions and an anti-pass law.

1t is stated officially here that the de-

Held to Be Inadequate.

Count Wolff Metternich thought this
formula inadequate and suggested two
alternative additional clauses:
England will therefore observe at
least benevolent neutrality should war
he forced upon Germany. or England
will therefore, as matter of course,
remain neutral IL war Is forced upon
Germany
This, he added. would not be binding
unless our wishes were met with re-
gard to the naval program.
Sir Edward Grey considered that the
British proposals were sufficient. He
explained that II Germany desired to
crush France. England might not be
able to sit still. though II France were
aggressive or attacked Germany no
support would be given by his
majestys government or approved by
England.
1T Is obvious that the real object
of the German proposal was to obtain
the neutrality of England in all
eventualities. since should war break
out Germany would certainly contend
that II had been forced upon her and
would claim that England should re-
main neutral
An admirable example Of this is the
present war. In which. in spite of the
facts. Germany contends war has been
forced upon her. Even the third mem

The Ldip and Vaccination.

A"s Luz" esse
HUCH discussion has been raised
wi regarding vaccination. In
spite Of the fact that since
Jenner's discovery the ravages Of
smallpox have been almost conquered.
there are. now and then. cases cited
where serious blood poisoning and ILL
ness are supposed to result from
vaccination.
People seem to have actually for
gotten what the horrors Of smallpox
used to be, and would be again X
vaccination were relaxed.
Constant vigilance, however. Is the
price Of health as well as Of liberty.
and the cases where serious results
seem to follow vaccination are ridic-
ulously small in proportion to the
cases where no Ill effects follow.
More than three and n half millions
Of people have been vaccinated in the
Philippine Islands by United States
order without q loss Of life or limb.
and this means a saving there of 5000
lives every year from smallpox.
There is not the slightest risk In
vaccination when carried out with
clean virus, now guaranteed py low
eminent inspection, and when the
vaccination is kept clean. bad arms"
come from dirt getting into the
wound-not often from the vaccine
itself.
Unfavorable results are liable to
follow from scratching or rubbing
the wound with dirty hands. which
introduce infection from without
rather than from within.

control vaccination. There Is a State
