answer to this query is furnished by
the announcement from petrograd
that the international Dutch Bureau is
to set the final date for the interna-
tional conference. This clearly demon
strates that the Russian-calleG rect
ing will not be an Allied Socialists
convention, but gathering represent
ing all the neutral and belligerent
countries OF the world.
As the Dutch Bureau is participst-
ing in the present Stockholm confer
ence. and as the Teuton Socialists will
undoubtedly be glad to accept the IN
vitation extended by the Russians 70

sion that the Socialists Of all coun-
tries and uationalities ultimately viii

will in all likelihood be prolonged
until the Allied Socialists begin 20
gather for the July convention.

Pro-Ally sentiment is being displayed
by big gatherings throughout Russia
which are demanding that Plekhanon'
the anti-German editor, be placed on
the Executive Committee of the Council

Another dispatch TO the Forward
says:
''Big mass meetings at Pskov and
Oraninbaum demand that the Council
put Plekhsnoff on the Executive Com
mittee of the Council. As it is already
known, Plekhanoff has been rejected as
a member of the committee by a close
vote for his pro-war and pro-Ally atti-

activities to the editorship of the news
paper of the Minimalists' Unity.
"Plekhanoff is the founder of the

Washington, May 31.-The State De-

unable to get dispatches to and from

BY the Russian officials.
Ambassador Francis has not yet ac-
knowledged the receipt Of this docu-
ment. Ii is not to be published until
Mr.. Francis has had opportunity TO
present il 10 the Russian government,
and then it will be given out in Wash

The State Department is not being
kept as we'll informed upon develop

patches from Ambassador Francis are
from two TO four days in transmission
and lag considerably behind the pro-

is stated. had made a fruitless inquiry
20 discover the cause OF the great delay
in the transmission of official com
munications. II was assumed that the

that this was a cause for the undue

Socialists of Wcrld
Expected to Meet
in One Congress
Two Conferences at Stockholm
May Pave Way for Meeting
of All Delegates
By ISAAC Don LEVINE

The Socialist conferences scheduled
to meet in Stockholm this summer re-
solve themselves upon examination
into two separate gatherings, the tu-
sion of which is reasonably possible.
The conference now converting IN
Stockholm, initiated by the Scandina-
Wan Socialists and largely dominated
By representatives Of the radical ele-
ments in the Central Powers and their
neutral sympathizers, IS quite distinct
in origin from that called By the Rus
sian Council Of Workmen and Soldiers.
IL is to the latter conference. to be
held between July Is and 80, that the
French and British Socialists have
lust decided TO send delegates. Emil
Vanderyelde. the Belgian Minister and
Socialist leader. who is very popular
in Russia, had expressed early his
readiness to join in the conference.
That the Italian and American Social
lists will participate is beyond doubt:
The big question, therefore, Is: VII!
the Teuton Socialists also participate

Not Endorsed by Berlin

Copenhagen, May 81. - The pro-
gramme of the German majority So
cialist delegates to the Stockholm con
ference, from the statements OF Dr..
Eduard David, one Of the leaders, car
ricd no Endorsement by the German
government. Dr.. David clearly init
mated that the action OF the delega-

that the ENJOYS have TO DEFINITE

ministration at Berlin.
The hopes of the delegates that the
German government ultimately VIII be
found amenable 20 the majority 80
cialjet programme of peace without
annexations or indemnities are based
nartly On the party's strength and IN
fuence in Germany, and partly on the

ton that the government IS ready 70
conclude a peace (which Will leave no
thorns to rankle." pr David does not
hone that peace will result directly
from the Stockholm movement. The
utmost he expects is that the confer
encc will lay a basis for peace move
ment on which peace lovers IN all
countries can unite.
If the conferences prove abortlve, Dr.
David declares that he has perfected
its organization so as 10 live on what
it can raise and will continue the
struggle ithout weakening. In an

ent German attitude toward America
