 SIDE

SEATTLE. April 21-Clarence B. Blethen. editor of the Seattle Daily Times, wired bis paper today from New York. as follows:
 If war does not come now it will be because the men who govern Germany do not want another nation added to its long roll of those who bear arms against her. But it she surrenders to the American demands, war will come just as sure as Ger. many escapes alive from the present awful conflict.
 Should European peace be declared next Monday, on terms satisfactory to the Allies. short of actual disarm- ament. by next Wednesday, the Ger man fleet would be seeking ours by another Monday.
 "An invincible army would be em- parked on transports ready for a practically unopposed capture of the Atlantic seaboard from Chesapeake bay to Portland, Maine.
 "The future is black unless Amerl- ca can be aroused to her peril. The threat of blood hangs over our homes, our wives. our mothers, our sisters and our children.

Judge c. D. Murane, George Irving and W. A. Gilmore aid- ed Shacldeford in the fight against the Ritchie plan In the voting 58 of the Firsts 60 votes were cast by Shackelford's friends against the mo- ton, and with them the solid 60 of the Second, cast by Gilmore, and the solid GO of the Fourth. cast by Lloyd completely showed under the Thirds delegations.
