DISAPPOINTED
BY PLATFORM

St. Louis, June 15-Leaders Of the wo-
mems suffrage movement who have spen,
the last four days in St Louis in behalf
of a platform declaration for federal &C
ton to secure the ballot for women, were
disa ppointed tonight when they learned
that the resolutions subcommittee of the
Democratic national Committee had
agreed upon a suffrage plank recon-
mending that the question be at once
submitted to the people of the various
states by their legislatures.
Failure of the convention to declare
that suffrage is a matter for federal ac-
ton, they said, will result in personal
appeals to President Wilson to urge ac-
ton by Congress and upon Charles Evans
Hughes, the Republican candidate for
the presidency, for a statement of his
views on the question.
A leader of the newly organized Wo-
mans party said tonight that if results
are not obtained at the White House or
from Congress the party will Immediately
begin a campaign against Democratic
members of the Senate and House ana
will hold them personally responsible for
the party's failure to meet their demands.

ATTITUDE THERE

Athens, June IA. vi a London, June
15.-The attitude of the Entente AL
lies toward Greece was denounced at
meetings held here today. Resolu
tons were passed expressing loyalty
to King Constantine and confidence
in the policy of Premier Skouloudis.
The resolutions protested against
the blockade of Grecian ports estab-

A feature of the resolutions was that
the King was referred to as "our
glorious sovereign. King Constantine

in the line of the ancient rulers of
Constantinople.
