Plans of Prohibitionists to
Align Progressives
Collapse.
MOOSE LEADERS
FAIL TO APPEAR
Drys Blame Colonel Parker for Nom
Success Of Scheduled "Get Together
Conference Hold Love Feast and
Revival Services instead-President Mt
iaI Field Narrows-Sulzer or HanIy
to Be Named as Party Leader.

st. Paul, July 1S.-John NJ Parker's S
rallying cry to surviving progressives
and his call issued last Saturday, for
a new national convention of the party
in Chicago, Aug. 5, was blamed by
prohibition leaders here for the col
lapse Of their plans for a great get
together" conference at which they
had hoped to enroll scores of progress
sives, republicans and democrats. Z
Instead of "get together event,
the meeting became prohibition love
feast, and revival services. The lead
ers had expected such men as William
Allen White, and Victor Murdock, OF
Kansas; Judge Albert D. Norton, OF
ST. Louis, and perhaps Colonel Parker
himself, to meet them and pledge their
affiliation with the prohibition party.
None of these appeared today.
They are afraid to join us until
they know we intend to go after the
votes with ticket every progressive
can support conscientiously, SAID
Chairman Hinshaw. Mr.. Hinshaw. in
timated an intention to redouble his
efforts to induce the Parker conYen-
ton to endorse the ticket which the
prohibitionists will nominate here this
week.

Delegates to the national prohibition
convention today learned that the con 4
test for. the presidentiaf,nom had
narrowed overnight to "a race between
former governors J. F. Hanly. OF IN
diana, and William Sulzer, Of New
York, by reason Of the announcement
by Eugene N. Foss, chairman, that ne
would not be candidate, should the
nomination be rendered him.
Henry Ford of Detroit. failed to ar
rive on any Of the early trains altho he
had been expected to attend the get
together" conference. His absence
and silence lends color to National
Chairman Hinshaw's belief that the
manufacturer will not permit his name
to be placed before the convention.

U.1oat Policy Fixed.

Washington, July S.-The admin
istration has formulated the policy it
will pursue in case the German super
submarine merchantmen Deutschland
is sunk without warning by allied war
vessels on it way back to Bremen.
So long as the Deutschland is on top
Of the water the United States will in
sisr that the allies treat itas any other
merchantman-that is, summon it to
stop by shot over its bow, and tnen,
if ii stops, board it as prize and send
it into port.
If, however the Deutschland at
tsmpts to escape or resist capture, the
United States will have no further in
terest in it's case if it's efforts result
disastrously to itself. ~
The administration will regard the
Deutschland, while under water, as a
merchantmen resisting capture and
therefore subject to such efforts as the
allies may make to destroy it or bring
it to the surface prize. Also the adj
ministration will regard an attempt by
the> Deutschland to submerge when
enemy vessels are near as an attempt
to escape.

Deutschland Ready to Depart.

Baltimore, Nd, July 1S.-The Ger
man submarine freighter Deutschland
now plans to slip down the Patapsco
river and into Chesapeake bay tonight
en- route back to Germany, a member
Of the crew said today. Loading should
be finished today at the present rate.
Captain Hinsch' announced no visitors
will be permitted to board the vessel
after today.
Captain Hinsch said he expects the
Bremen in a few days. and that it will
come here or to New York, tho he in
dicated Baltimore will beSthe port.
The inference from this generally is
that the Deutschland folk fear an Ut
tempt to wreck the ship. The Deutsch-
land today was dressed up in fresh
green paint and decorated with traces
of white at bow and stern to resemble
the ocean waves.
