MIR. Gernrd's Allegations.
The New York Times of yesterday
says that Mr.. Gerard in his address
last night made an interesting rcvcla-
ton of tho history of the Baltimore
convention in 1912. which rejected
Speaker Clark for the presidential nom
nation and named Woodrow Wilson.
~ was one of the financial supporters
of Mr.. Clark's campaign for The nomi
nation" said Mr.. Gerard, land in the
light OF events am not sorry that he
was beaten. In point Of fact. Mr.. Clark
had an excellent chance to obtain the
nomination. but lost it by reason of
his natural disposition to have cold
feet
Late one night MIR. Clark had secured
majority OF the votes in the convcn
ton, but not enough To nominate. since
thrcc-fifths of all the votes were re-
CURED for that purpose. His sup
porters wished to continue the fight
in the convention throughout the night
believing that with the momentum
that had been attained. Mr.. clarks
nomination was assured.
But Mr.. Clark decided for an adj
journmcnt until next day. and tho bat
tie was lost. Perhaps lie thought that
in tho interval volunteers would como
forward and win for him. But for this
he might now be sitting in higher
scat and doing us more harm than he
can do where he is"

YEARN|NC FOR PEACE
IN GERMANY REVEALED
People Urged to Clench Their Teeth
and Make Food
Sacrifices.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, Tuesday. April II, via
London. April 1s.-How urgent is the
yearning for peace among the German
people and how great Is the increased
quence of the reduction in the bread ra-
ton may be judged from the exhorta-
tions and the pictures of woeful alter
natives published in provincial news
papers on the inauguration of the cur
tailment of the bread supply.
The Courier of Hanover. for example,
represents that a quicker but unsatis-
factory peace would not lead to better
food supply. The people are told that
Great Britain. France. italy and even
the United States are reckoning with a
world famine for the current year, and
of peace the demands of these countries
for their own needs would prevent the
supplying of Germany with foreign
foodstuffs.
The Courier portrays the British peo-
pie as paying the highest grain prices
Of century, and declares that the Ger
mans are situated more favorably than
those who planned to starve them, not
being menaced by bad world crop and
rapidly sinking ship tonnage. If, how
ever, the blockade Of Germany should
succeed through lack of economy. the
newspaper says, ''our people would have
not only time of bitter hunger. but a
long period of the lowest wages and
the most painful enfeeblement. Then
while France. Italy and Russia carried
off Alsace-Lorraine. Trfest, the Tren-
tino, Constantinople and big Austria
Hungarian provinces as the price of
victory. Great Britain would undertake
the long-planned annexation Of our eco
nomtc riches. Bread would be dear and
wages low for our entire laboring pop
ulation. We must therefore muster all
our strength. clench our teeth. and, re-
membering the sacrifices and sufferings
Of our men folk in the field, hold out
and take up this new food sacrifice"
