NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-When
] sailed from New York in late
September, | had foolish notion
that 1t took eight days to reach
the war zone. That is what the
steamship agent told me.
But when New York faded
away and the straight horizon of
the sea surrounded us, discov-
cred that the zone of war was
wider than shown on the map,
and the minute man steps onto
a belligerent nations ship he
comes into this sphere.
HIS NAME is HATE.
He travels in the mails and
on the printing press and on
mems tongues. He was on that
ship. The first day out, Hate
stalked about the deck.

Navy TO Fight

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Eng-
land today anticipates an at
tack by German superdread-
naughts armed with 17-inch
guns and capable of throw
ing shells weighing ton 20
miles.
The naval critic of the News
today reported the Germans are
arming their new battleships with
this formidable weapon. 1t is be-
lieved this is the same kind of a
gun which bombarded Dunkirk

several months ago.
The critic said that the gun
outclasses anything In the Brit
ish navy; hence the Germans may
risk a sortie and challenge Eng
lands fleet.
The newspapers are filled with
reports of a new German battle
plane, called the Fokker. which
has destroyed 16 British biplanes
In recent months. One paper is
convinced that several Fokkers
will accompany the next Zeppelin
raid In London.

Wilson Was Notified,

Washington, June 15-Pre 5ident Wilson was notified at l o'clock this morning by Secre e,ary Tumulty that he and Vice President Marshall had becn nominated by exclamation. His only comment was T am very grate- f,,l to my generous friends.
 Word from St. Louis that some of the democratic leaders favored modi- flying President Wilson's S Americanism plank to make its denunciation of po- liticai activities of foreign born citi- Zens less specific brought an emphatic declaration that the president would not consent to such change under any circumstances. The presidents position was made unmistakably clear by telephone and telegraph
 , As approved by the president tho plank would charge conspiracy on the part of some foreign born citizens to influence foreign and internal ar fairs in the interests of foreign gov ernments, and would condemn any or ganization contenancing such a move ment and any political party receiving benefits from it and failing to repud- fate it. The president is unalterably opposed to having it emasculated.
 The plank as submitted by the pres ident does not mention any specific organization or nationality, but is said to be specific enough to carry an in- ference, which some delegates think might over-emphasize the point. These are said to favor a more general con- demnation of the so-called hyphenated activities. It was said the president was so determined that if persistent opposition developed he might ask the convention to remain in session until he could go to St. Louis for personal appeal.
 At ? o'clock he was phoned that the plank would be adopted exactly as ap- proved by the White House and that any acton on the platform would be taken before adjournment for the lngnt
