NEW CASTLE, Del, May S.-Re-
Inducements came over in great
order on Saturday and when the COM
mittee of the Good VIII Fire Com
pany invaded the trenches they found
nearly 5000 coupons in the boxes.
The vote for queen follows:
Eleanor Hatton ..4S14
Mable Clewell .4770
The vote for king follows:
Howard Wilhelm ....... .4904
James B. Hance ............46 1861
The committee is constrained to
make a request. Please trim all cou-
pons and arrange them in packs so
they can be counted easily. 1t is very
annoying to find hundreds OF cou-
pons, all sizes. and so mixed up so
that time is lost in counting them
The last coupon will be published
on Friday evening, May 49,
Friends Of Wilhelm and Hance are
hustling and now the proposition is
made that the candidate defeated for
king will be chief attendant on the
king and the queen will have her op-
ponent as first lady in waiting.
Biffl bing! bang! went THE
EVENING JOURNALS ballots on
Saturday night for king and queen.
A large crowd gathered at both poll
ing booths TO hear the returns and
watch the committee count. This is
all done in public, and everyone can
see how fair and square THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL is carrying on the
contest More than four thousand
votes were counted and when the
total was reached the H. & c. forces
had gained little over the H. e H.
There still remains two more weeks
for the fight to go on and both sides
are relying on strong reinforcemonts
to gain the victory. 1t shows now
how close the fight is going. Much
anxiety is expressed to know who
will win. II is presumed that both
sides will rest during the week and
then open with another terrific as
sault next Saturday evening. What
ever way it goes, all four contestants
say il is a good. square fight.
IL VIII not be long now before New
Castle will be seen dressed in thous-

All the hotels and many prominent
dwellings have ordered electricians to
string electric lights about their

NO Peace MOVE Until
after Allies DRIVE
nv ROBERT J. BENDER

h'hNA t'no OAdn AOIIRNDOn0Oni.
WASHINGTON, May S.-President
wilson will make no move in the dis
cussion Of European peace at this
Time. The yelled suggestion for such
movement might be opportune con-
veyed In the German note will not be
needed by the White House.
The United Press learned on highest
authority today that acting on the ad-
vice OF the embassy at London and
Paris. the administration will make
no move in the direction of peace pro-
posals until the promised grand offens-
i've OF the Allies shall have been made.
II was learned today that the state
ment Of Carl w. Alderman. the United
Press correspondent in Berlin, that
certain officials OF the German capital
believed the time opportune for an
other European trip by Colonel n. M.
House, occasioned no surprise at the
White House. 10 is no longer secret
that Germany is anxious to get under
way the preliminary steps to peace ne
gotiations. Any inclination that the
United States government or Presi-
dent Wilson personally. might have
have been Offset by the reports from
Ambassadors and confidential agents
OF the American government at Lon
don and Paris. From both these
sources the administration learned
that prospects of this government ex-
ercising an important function in
starting peace negotiations prospects
which have been materially increased
as result OF the settlement OF the
German controversy he COM
pletely nullihed we're an attempt made
to bring the hostilitles TO an end at
this time.
President Wilson has no intention
Of taking steps toward peace when
his advances might be rebuifed. Pro
posals must come from both sides, or
the suggestion from one side must be
in such form that this government
will have reason TO believe il will he
acceptable to the other.
There is a general feeling In admin
istration circles that peace without
another winter campaign Is possible,
even probable. but the irst move is
matter OF months rather than weeks
There Is hope that peace suggestions
may take a definite form before snow
flies. But this depends upon two
things; Success OF Allied offensive or
Germanys backdown from her pres
ent terms
According to the best information Of
the administration. the long talked of
great offensive by the Allies is by
no means certain to develop The ap-
parent failure Of the German often
sive at Nerdun and the terrible losses
has been as great an object lesson TO
the Allies as to the Germans. II Is
admitted that the German defense Is
quite as formidable as that OF the Al
lies. The Champagne battle demon
strated that, and IL is known in Off
cial circles here that the Allies are
at the present time giving serious con-
sideration to the relative costs and
values OF a general offensive and a
continuation Of the virtual siege OF the
German Empire.
II the latter course Is decided upon
II Is recognized by the administration
that there is little probability OF Eng
land altering her present blockade
which Germany has characterized as
IA violation OF international law.
