MCCORMICK SEES WILSON SUPPORT
 STRONG IN WEST

New York, July 15.-President Will sons prospects in the Middle West, especially in Illinois, are very satisfac- tory, according to the information Vance C.. Mccormick, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. obtained on his trip to Chicago this week.
 Chairman Mccormick was back at his desk yesterday, but left last even ing for Washington for another con- ference with President. Wilson. He will also consult other leaders, and will return to this city early next week, ready to announce the Demo- cratic campaign Committee and the date for the official notification of President Wilson
 Replying to questions about his trip to Chicago, Chairman Mccormick said no time is being lost in organizing the campaign there. It. has not yet been decided, he said, who will be man. ager of the Chicago headquarters, but that will be settled as soon as the composition of the Campaign Commit tee is finally determined.
 Found Chicago Devoted. q found in Chicago Chairman Mo- Cormick said, 'the same loyal support of President Wilson as characterized the National Convention in St. Louis. IT have never seen a stronger devotion to a candidate or a more earnest will ingness to lay aside all personal views i than was shown by the delegates at the St. Louis Convention. That spirit was displayed by all party leaders with whom I conferred on my hurried trip to Chicago. Our headquarters in that city will soon be fully oNxanized. and vigorous campaign through that part of the country will be conducted ] from there.'' | Chairman Mccormick said the H. linois Progressives were keen about the situation which has resulted from | the refusal of Col. Roosevelt to run for President on the Bull Moose ticket, and. so many of them will sup port President Wilson as to give a highly encouraging cast to the situa- ton in that state.
 Notification Probable Aug. 5. i, While the date has not been finally ,, f1xedfit- is probable that the notifica- | tion ceremony will be held on Aug. 5, Shadow Lawn. Long Branch, the Presidents summer home, having al- ready been selected as the place. The notification speech will be made by Senator Ollie James of Kentucky, and | the Presidents acceptance will con- clude the speechmaking, it is now expected.
 How many other speeches Presi- dent Wilson will make and where they will be delivered has not yet been determined. Urgent efforts are being made to induce MT. Wilson to visit the Pacific Coast later in the campaign, and California Democrats are especially anxious to have him I speak there.
 But, Chairman Mccormick pointed
 out yesterday. it will not be possible for the President to make speaking
 plans until later in the campaign.
 With Congress still in session and the Mexican situation uncertain, the
 President and his friends fear he will
 have to spend most of the time, right
 up to the election, in close proximity
 to the national capital.

PRESIDENT ASKS PROCRESSIvES TO.
 SUPPORT TICKET

Washington, July 15.-President Wilson, in a letter to J. c. Parker, a Philadelphia magazine editor de- clares that the Democratic Party rep resents a larger part of the progres- sive power and thought of the coun- try. MT. Parker, a Progressive, in a recent letter, asked the President if he would accept the leadership of the progressives of, all parties. The Presi- dents reply follows
 .I have read your. letter of July 10 with a great deal of attention and very serious interest, and realize as keenly as you do the anomalous con dition by which many of ttie progress slve voters of the country are being confused and misled, as well as the old inverterate attractions which seem to control the choice of many of them in matters political.
 '1n answer torthe questions contain ed in your letter, I will say that for my part I have no jealousy whatever of independent voters of the country reminded of their obligations and full ly informed as to parties and of the conditions under which their votes are being solicited.
 "For myself, I sincerely desire and have. tried to deserve the support of all progressive, forward-looking men. I believe. and I think that recent ex- perience has confirmed the belief, that the Democratic Party represents a larger part of the progressive power and thought of the country than any other party, and that it can be made | the instrument-and is being made the instrument-of leadership in the direction which all men who love pus- l tice and progress must wish to take. Ut is for that reason that I am proud to be its nominee and to have | the opportunity to lead it.''

PART OF CREW OF RECENTLY
 BUILT BIG ZEPPELIN.

BUILT BIG ZEPPELIN.
 Baltimore officials who visited the transatlantic merchant submarine Deutschland quoted Captain Koenig as saying that Zeppelin airship freighters are being built in Germany for trans atlantic service. "To you," Captain Koenig was quoted as saying, "the trip of the Deutschland is great achieve ment. You mustn't be too enthusiastic over it, for a bigger surprisepi Is com- ing. A great Zeppelin airship-or may be I should say airships-is being built in Germany. In the not distant future one or more of them will sail through the air to the United States. Just as sure as the Deutschland came to America, so will the Zeppelin come." Ambassador von Bernstorff visited the Deutschland at Baltimore, and his visit was the occasion of gala day for those interested in the Submarine enterprise and for Germans in Balti- more generally. He was accompanied by Hugo Schmidt, New York agent o1s the Deutsche bank of Berlin, and Dr. Albert, the American financial repre- sentative of the German government. The three men were met by the Ger man consul in Baltimore, Carl A. LudeSitz. The ambassador was i'm a jovia1 mood all during the trip about Baltimore harbor.

RUSSIAN TROOPS
ARRIVE IN FRANCE

Marseilles, April 21.-Russian troops
arriving here to assist the allies in the
western theater Of war were given a
tremendous ovation as they marched
from the quay to the boulevard mari
time, where flags were flying and vast
crowds had assembled.
They presented a sturdy appear
ance as they swung along, waving
their hands a. answer to the enthusi-
astic cheering Of the populace.
The men were marched to a camp
which had previously been prepared
for their reception and which contains
every convenience for camp life.
One of the happiest greetings they
received was the appearance of a
daily Russian newspaper, which has
been started for their benefit, of the
first news that TrebiZond had been
captured.

Of Future Policy.

San Antonio, Tex, April 25.-Gen-
eral Hugh l.. Scott. chief of staff of
the United States army, and General
Alvaro Oregon, CarranZa's minister
of war, will discuss at Ell Paso, or at
some other point agreed neal there,
the questions that have arisen be-
of the entrance into Mexico of
General Pershing's punitive expedi-
ton.
Just when this conference will take
place will depend upon when General
Oregon a reach the border.
General Scott would not discuss the
character of his instructions, but it
vas indicated at departmental head
quarters that the two officers will dis
cuss in detail the various articles of
the proposed protocol pending be-
tween the two governments and which
provided conditions under which arm
ed forces Of either country may be
sent into the territory of the other to
run down bandit bands.
General Scott has made it clear that
he is in thorough accord with the ad-
ministration in it's determination not
to withdraw United States troops
for the present and unless he receives
orders to the contrary. or different
from those he already has, no move
in that direction will be made until
after his conference with General
Obregon.
General Funston sent to General
Pershing the preliminary orders for
the recommendation of his troops
along the lines he had recommended
and which had been approved.

feated the Russians and sent them in

had an opportunity to sound public
sentiment. while not bellicose, criti-
cises President Wilson for fayoring
the allies against Germany and sew
efAl papers consider a breach Of rela-
