GLYNN DELIVERS KEYNOTE
SPEECH AT NATIONAL CON-
VENTION IN ST. LOUIS.
BRYAN In BAND WAGON
COmmOner Whipped Into Line Max
ing The Convention Tame
Affair.

Coliseum, st. Louis, June IA
With the keynote of "Americanism
and Peace, Preparedness and Pros
perity," the Democratic National
Convention began it's first session
shortly after noon to-day with not
single element in sight to disturb
the harmonious denomination of
President Wilson and Vice President
Marshall.
When National Chairman Nc
Combs called the convention to order
10000 delegates, alternates and spec
tators packed the big Coliseum to the
roof. Members of the National Com
mittee, members of President Will
sons Cabinet and party leaders from
all over the country had places on
the platform. Plaster medallions of
Washington, Jackson, Jefferson and
Cleveland looked down upon the del
egates from the decorations, which
consisted uniformly of nothing but
the American flag. The only picture
of President Wilson in the hall hung
in front of the speakers desk inscrib-
ed America First"
Vice presidential booms, wilted by
President Wilson's direct word that
he desired the denomination of Vice
President Marshall, were brought to
the convention hall, but only as
"favorite" compliments.
When National Chairman Nc
Combs had called the convention TO
order the next business was the read
ing of the call by Secretary ]. Bruce
Kremer. Former Governor Glynn,
of New York. was next with the key
note speech. Down under the speak
ers' stand direct telephone and tele-
graph wires to the White House car
ried momentary reports of the pro-
ceedings in the hall.
All prospect of a fight In the con-
vention had gone glimmering over

CALLERS ARE RECEIVED
Among Whom Are Progressives And
Democrats - Miss Frances

New York, June 14.-Charles d.
Hilles' successor as chairman of the
Republican National Committee will
be selected, in all likelihood, at a
conference here next Monday after
noon between Charles E. Hughes.
the presidential nominee; w. Murray
Crane, of Massachusetts,, chairman
of the National Subcommittee on Or
ganization, and as many of the other
seven members of the subcommittee
as can be present.
Arrangements for the conference
were made late today by Mr.. Crane.
IL was also announced that the man
ager of the Hughes campaign prob
ably would be selected then and that
the personnel of the Executive Com
mittee will be discussed. The sub
committee is empowered to name the
chairman and the Executive Commit
tee.
No announcement concerning the
nominees choice for national chair
man or campaign manager, has been
made and indications are that he will
continue to consider names of avail
abe candidates until his meeting with
the subcommittee. In pursuance of
his policy of refraining from discus
sion of political affairs for the pres
ent, Mr.. Hughes declined to say
whether he had made a tentative
choice. Mr.. Crane also declined to
comment on the situation.
In the meantime Mr.. Hughes will
continue his informal conferences
here with party leaders and his re-
ception of old and new friends and
supporters. The longest conference
he held today was with George w,
Attorney General in
President Taft's Cabinet, who will
take an active part In the campaign

poets to keep in close touch with the

Sink German Ship.

London, June 1.-THE German
auxiliary cruiser HERMANN has been
attacked and sunk in the Baltic,
southeast of Stockholm, by four
Russian torpedo boat destroyers, ac-
cording to Berlin. Reports from
Sweden and Denmark concerning
the fight say that it was between Rus
sian torpedo craft and German aux
iliary cruiser, some torpedo boats
and armed trawlers which were con-
yoying German merchantmen. In
addition to the auxiliary cruiser and
a German destroyer, twelve OF the
merchantmen are reported to have

since his arrival that he had not
devoted to work. His present plans
provide for his departure from the
city over Sunday, his return here
Monday to confer with the National
Subcommittee and his departure
Monday night for Providence, r. L.,
where he will remain probably until
Thursday. The problem of select
ing a summer residence is present
ing difficulties. 1t is likely, howev-
er, that he will remain in New York
State and will choose location in the
mountains not too remote from this
city.
Among the nominees callers this
afternoon were Miss Frances A. Kel-
lor, head of the Social Service Blu
reau of the Progressive party; Geo.
B. Agnew. former State Senator, and
Merwin X. Hart, former Assembly
man. The two latter callers were
joint authors of the Hart-Agnew Bill,
which abolished racing during Mr..
Hughes Administrator as Governor
of New York.
George Haven Putnam, a New
York Democrat, who worked for the
election of Woodrow Wilson at the
Baltimore convention, was another
caller. He came in response to an
from Mr.. Hughes after
having written the nominee letter
telling him that the paramount is
sue of the campaign was American
ism.

Washington, June 13.-WhiIe
some State Department advices to-
day gave a more favorable aspect to
conditions in Northern Mexico, others
reported further anti-American dem
onstrations, leaving the situation I'M
changed. The agitation has subsid-
ed in the Chihuahua region, where
the most violent outbreaks occurred.
Secretary Lansing refused to make
public details of consular reports.
He indicated, however, that smashing
of store windows, parading and
speechmaking had constituted the
greater part of the outbreaks sweep
ing the Mexican States near the bord-
er. The rioters have not distinguish
ed between Americans and other fore
igners, it was stated, although the
basis of the disorder is always the
presence of American troops on
Mexican soil.
II the State Department has been
able to determine just what agencies
are inspiring those outbreaks the In
formation is being carefully guarded.
1t is known that some officials feel
certain definite propaganda is being
carried on without Gen. Carranza,s
approval.
Carranza Regime Menaced.
There are indications that officials
here feel that the de facto Govern
ment is itself threatened by the
spread of anti-foreign sentiment.
Just what element hostile to Car
rama may be astir and how far the
rebel movement in the Tehuantepec
region, the restlessness around Vera
Cruz, the disloyalty of some State
Governors and the anti-Americaf
agitation may be interviewer In an
organized attempt to overthrow the
de facto Government, no official
would say. --~as

Gals admitted appeared serious. They
feared not only continuance of band|

ing of three of the bandits who raid
ed the Coleman ranch near Laredo
Sunday might have on the Mexican
people. Equally pulling to officials
was the question of what purpose is
the basis for the anti-American dem
onstrations and the renewed border
attacks.

MEASURE PROVIDING UNIvER-
SAL SERVICE WILL BE PRE-
SCENTED SOON.
MANY TRAINING CAMPS
At One of Which Every Male Citizen
Between Ages Of 10 And 23
Would Take Course.

washington, June "details of
new universal military training and
service bill to be presented to Con-
gress soon became known to-day. 1t
provides that all male citizens shall
enlist for six months military camp
traknng during the calendar year in
winch they become is years of age
and thereafter shall be discharged
into the reserve. In time of war
these trained men might be called
into active service by classes of years,
the youngest first.
The bill was drawn by Capt. Geo
Van Horn Moseley. of the General
STAFF of the Army, acting unofficial
ly in behalf OF national defense Or
CARNATIONS. 1t will be proposed as
a substitute for the pending Cham
berlain universal training (which
provides for short periods OF varied
training extending over ten years,
between the ages of IS and 30. A
vigorous campaign will be made for
passage of the measure at this ses-
sion of Congress, IL is said.
The only exemptions from train
ing under the proposed legislation
would be young men physically or
otherwise unfit. and members of per-
manent military or naval forces. To
70 mi M nj m TN
schools, one months credit on the
six months compulsory service
would be allowed for each year of
military work in recognized institu-
tions, with a limit of four months
credit.
Would Effect Economy.
The President would be empowered
TO suspend the organization of any
number of regular army units, and
TO assign their officers to the train
ing camps. This would effect econ
omy, IT is urged. by permitting a re-
duction of the regular army without
reducing the force available in case
OF war.
A system of penalties would be
provided for employers of men above
then age of IS years who had not
passed through the training. Per-
sons not complying also would be
barred from holding any position un-
der the Federal Government, and in
case they leave the country to escape
service would be required TO fulfill
the obligation on their return.
Uaruly characters might be segre-
gated and trained in special discip-
linary organizations. Friends of the
bill point out this might go far to-
ward solving present problems of
treating incorrigible youths. No pay
would be allowed for the training
periods, but the Government would
pay all expenses. If called into ac-
tive service later, the men would re-
ceive regular army pay.
Many Training Camps.
The proposed measure contem-
plates establishment of a large num-
Der of training camps. They prob
ably would be operated for active
training only between spring and
fall, or in other seasons of moderate
temperature and good weather. Ex-
pense of the system would be COM
paratively low, friends of the plan |
declare. They express belief that the I
burden on citizens time would be
lighter than under any other univer-
sal training method and that in adj /
dition to furnishing a great number
of available trained men, 1t would
provide valuable physical and discip-
linary culture.
