GERARD IS CONVINCED
THAT PEACE IS IN SIGHT
American Ambassador to Germany
Very Optimistic Over Progress
Already Made.
GRANTS INTERVIEW IN BERLIN
Settlement OF Differences With L. S.,
He Says, Leaves Wilson With Much
Greater Freedom of Action TO Deal

BERLIN. May 26 via London, May
o7.-Cni,ed States Ambassador James
Gerard is convinced that peace is in
sight, according 10 an interview pub
lished In Munich newspaper to-day
from Its Berlin correspondent. Mr..
Gerard is quoted as saying:
Nothing can shake my confidence
that peace is on its way"
The ambassador referred to the set

States and Germany as preparing the

tho question OF peace. president Will
son. he said, has much greater free
dom Of action now 10 deal with the
immense world problem which will de-
termine the future attitude OF nearly
all the countries OF the globe.
TT is useless 20 discuss at this mo-
ment the question rs to whether Pres!-
dent wilson's INTERPRETATION is desira-
BILE or probable. In this instance facts
alone must speak-and one of the most
important facts is that the neutrals are
probably as much interested III bring
ing abou; an early peace as the he!liE-
erents. America urgently needs peace,
and for this reason alone the American
government is under an obligation 10
its citizens 10 do and support every
thing that serves the cause OF peace.
A fact OF chief Importance is that my
government Is really willing TO take
action for the promotion OF peace.
OPTIMISTIC REGARDING
PROGRESS ALREADY MADE:
ho
progress already made OF the idea that
the war should be ended, even among
helligerent nations. The wise and
moderate words OF the German Chan
cellor regarding Germany's readiness 10
make peace had probably their strong
est echo In America. and strengthen
the impression tina, Germany Will take
all further steps calmly and with con-
fdence.

Il hardly know from what quartz,

DELEGATES BARRED.

Chicago, June 8.-By vote of
90 to 20 the credentials committee
last night indorsed the recommenda-
ton of the national committee that
seats, be granted to none OF the dele
gates from the District Of Columbia.
The credentials committee was so
shocked by the report of the national
committee regarding alleged fraud
and intimidation on the part of the
three contesting factions that it de-
cided it would be unwise to seat any
of the delegates.
The committee announced it would
sit throughout the night to dispose
of all the contests.
The Hitchcock forces acquired two
more delegates in Oklahoma by the
action of the committee in seating
John v, Hadley and Charles Moore,
of the Sixth Okla homa district, and
in unscating o. A. Mitscher and A.
d. Wood. whose names had been
placed on the temporary roll.

SUFFRAGISTS PARADE.
Fifteen Thousand Women Defy Ele'
ments in Chicago Yesterday.

Chicago, June Sit takes enthu-
siasm and bravery to stand up for
rising vote here, but the women
suffragists did it yesterday in the
Princess Theater, and thereby de-
cided to parade down Michigan ave-
nue. through a wind and rain storm.
The suffragists in convention de-
cided long ago to turn out 25,000
strong and march to the Republican
platform.
More than $4,000 strong the wom-
en- led by their grand marshal, Mrs.
Kellogg Fairbank, of Chicago, got
out and marched through the rain
and thousands of other suffragists
would have walked were it not Tor
the fact they had brought to town
only the thinnest of summery frocks
of pink and white.
Clasps of admiration and ringing
cheers came from the rubber-coated
street standees, and the spectators
indoors who jammed the big hotels,
offices buildings and stores along the
line.
Bandsmen who ventured out with
out rain coats were dripping. The
women LAWYERS, artists. nurses and
companies of just plain workers for
the cause fought their way along
through high winds and vicious
downpour of rain that never let up
for a minute. Somehow there was a
note of pathos running through it all

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Administrations Foreign Policy Will
be Foundation Plank.

The outcome of the administrs!-
tion's efforts to keep the United
States out of war, and at the same
time maintain the national honor, will
be the foundation of the foreign af-
fairs plank and one Of the enlpha-
sized points in the platform to be
adopted by the Democratic national
convention at St. Louis, according
to authoritative information obtain
ed last night from administration
sources. Since the denomination Of
President Wilson and Vice Pres dent
Marshall is regarded as assured the
platform now is receiving the chief
attention of Democratic leaders.
AS a result of conferences with
members of his cabinet and other nc
visers, President Wilson, who 9er-
sonally began work several days age
on platform to be submitted to the
convention by party LEADERS, virtu=
ally has completed preliminary
draft, leaving only details to be fin
ished after the Republican and Pro-
gressive conventions at Chicago.
The President has utilized as
basis for this work features of the
Missouri State Democratic platform
which was prepared, officials made
known last night, under the direc-
tion of the White House.
Following out this idea it is un-
derstood that the national platform
will declare the success of the ad-
ministration in guarding the honor
and interests of the United States in
the face of obstacles and at the same
time keeping the nation at peace.
The Mexican situation will be re-
ferred to, it is said, by praise of the
Presidents refusal to allow the ma
ton to be drawn into the internal
| strife raging IN Mexico anu ol LIE
prompt action in ordering troops
across the border after the Colum-
bus massacre.
Finally, it is understood the for
| eign affairs plank will align the par
tv behind the President in placing
"America first" with reference to
all questions, both international and
domestic.
The tariff is expected to be the sui
iect of an important plank, the plat
form coupling the Underwood revis-
ion with the currency law and other
constructive legislation of the past
four years in prosperity declara-
tion.
