Kletzsch agreed with me, but the po-
litical situation in the state was so
changed by later develor ments that the
whole proposition was dropped.
Mr.. Kletzsch said he has agreed with
DR.. Stern's suggestion that the Ger

list of delegates, especially in those
counties where the German vote was
large.
1t was thought at first, Mr.. Kletzsch
said, that the state committee would
name the German-American delegation.
Governor Philip, however, opposed
this plan of the La Follette-Bull Moose

forced the calling of state conven-

her touch firm, her sense of rhythm in

potentialities and much present attain
ment.
The audience was not large. but it

BLOCKADE NEUTRALS,"
NEW GERMAN ORDER
Submerged Mines Strewn Along
Trade Route to Holland.

London, March S.-"Blockade neutral
countries" was the description given to
The Tribune correspondent by high
naval authority regarding Germany's
new mine submarine campaign. They
don't seem likely to do us HARM" he
added, "but they are spreading quaint
ties of mines along the trade routes Of
Holland and other neutral countries,
which may eventually stop their trade
entirely. Anyhow, it is bound 10 seri-
ously affect the work of the Belgian
Relief Commission"
German submarines are reported 10
have been busy recently laying
anchored mines between the mouth OF
the Thames and the Gallower lightship.
In this neighborhood many disasters
have occurred during the last month.
Passenger ships until recently have
been quite successful in lodging float
ing mines by making their voyages IN
daylight, but no method is known Of
guarding against submerged anchored
mines.

Premiers and Foreign Min
listers of Scandinavia
Will Confer To-day.
AWAIT u. S. ACTION
BEFORE PEACE MOVE
Sweden Ready to Act in This
Direction, but Norway and
Denmark Oppose.

Copenhagen, March s.-The confer
ence Of the Premiers and Foreign Min
listers of the Scandinavian countries,
suggested By the King Of Sweden, will
begin its sessions at the Royal Palace
here tomorrow. II is not believed any
definite programme has been outlined
other than discussion Of commercial
difficulties which have been brought
about by recent phases OF war restric-
tions and an effort 10 obtain absolute
concert Of action by these northern
countries in dealing with the belliger-
ent powers.
Official Copenhagen does not believe,
as has been reported from Stockholm,
that the conference will undertake dis
cussion of preliminary steps toward
suggesting peace. Sweden, IL is said,
might be prepared to sound opinion in
that direction, but Denmark and Nor
way seem TO realize no intlmation OF
peace is desired by the Entente Allies
at this time, and they are not likely to
do anything.
It is argued here that the northern
countries could not approach this sub
ject without joint action on the part
Of the United States and other neutral
countries. The conference here could
only signify the willingness of Scandi-
nayia to act with the others when the
occasion might warrant forward steps,
but it is considered doubtful if it will
go that far.
In the face of great difficulties and
beset on all sides by the belligerents,
the scandinavian countries have main
tanned what they believe to be exemp-
larry neutrality, and all the people OF
each country are openly anxious that
this condition shall continue. All three
countries have felt the effect of the
blockade and trade restrictions, but
Sweden probably most of all, and that
is why Sweden took the initiative in
bringing about the conference, which Is
ostensibly the outgrowth of the meet
ing Of the three Scandinavian kings At
Malmo in December, 1914, when an
agreement was made concerning con-
tinued collaboration.

apparently caused much surprise among
the commissioners.
A misunderstanding concernlng the
contents of document introduced by

suited in a sharp interchange of words
between several members of the COM

yet been decided whether it will be held
directly on the border or on the Mexi-
can side at Palomas. where Villa is re-
ported to have established headquar-
tiers. Should it be held at Palomas

WON'T SIFT PERSIA LOSS
Crew Too Badly Needed on Other Ships,
Runciman Tells Commons.

London, March S.-Walter Runciman,
president of the Board Of Trade. stated
in the House of Commons to-day that
because the services of every officer
and seaman were urgently needed
afloat. the board had reconsidered the
question of holding a formal investiga-
ton into the loss of the steamer
Persia.
The board. Runcman said, had de-
cded that an investigation would not
produce sufficient results to justify the
further detention of the officers and
crew ashore or the considerable ex-
pense which would be involved.
